Great stay!

We loved this home in Sedona. 4 miles to west Sedona and centrally located to many other towns. The best part is the hiking right out of the back yard. Mike was great and by far the best VRBO host I’ve used.

Beautiful location for our family spring break

This is the perfect location for our family spring break. The house is comfortable, clean and in a great location. We LOVED the hike from the property and really enjoyed a mix of exploring the town and spending time recharging at the house.

Great February Stay

Mike was the best. The property is as advertised and it was great to go out the back gate and get up to Slippery Rock and just look out. I would definitely stay here again. The house was well appointed and Mike had great recomendations.

Absolute perfection!

WOW--we had the absolute best time at this total gem. Mike was very communicative when needed, but left us to enjoy the property on our own! The rooms were spacious, the kitchen was incredible, and the natural light flowing in at all times of the day was healing. The hike just out the backdoor provides some of the best views in all of Sedona. I can't say enough good things about this place. I've never been a repeat visitor to a rental but I'm already desperate to get back here!

Amazing host and amazing house

We just stayed there - my husband and I and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and it was amazing. Our host Michael was so accommodating and was so thoughtful. He even supplied passes so we could get into Grand Canyon without having to pay. He thinks of everything. 5+ plus stars. Great communicator and so quick with his responses.

Beautiful getaway location

A realy great place to stay. The scenery in the area is some of the best in Sedona. Nice cozy house and beautiful yard. Star gazing from the comfy patio chairs was great. We cooked our meals in the well stocked kitchen. I hope to visit again.

We had an incredible time here. The house is exactly as described. The location is amazing. The hiking out the back door is beautiful. Oak Creek is so beautiful. The hot tub is a nice bonus at the end of the day. Close enough to town and all the hiking. Incredible!!! We will be back! Thank You!

An Amazing Getaway!

This property was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect and it felt like we were away from everything yet close enough to town to enjoy all the fun activities we had planned. The home had all the amenities anyone could want and then some. We didn’t realize there was a hot tub until we got there so it was a pleasant surprise. As advertised, you can walk right out the back and hike into the red rocks which was amazing! Mike is a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had. He takes beautiful care of the home and property. We definitely plan to come back!

Little gem in Sedona

My husband was in photography heaven with the location of this home. It is located a short walk from Crescent Moon Ranch. We enjoyed morning and evening walks to the park to sit along the river. The hike from the back of the property brings you to a spectacular view of Cathedral Rock. This was a treat for us and quite an adventure. There are a few things we look for when renting a home. One is privacy and this home has that. We got up early just to sip coffee and watch the cardinal birds and hummingbirds fly by outside. We also want security and this home has solid well locking windows and doors throughout. The home was clean ( very clean ) and welcoming. The beds were comfortable as well. I never say this regarding the homes we rent but this little gem is one we would definitely come back and stay at. The owner is really great to work with as well. Thank you for the relaxing time in beautiful Sedona. The English’s

A great place…

The view, trail access (out the rear gate) relaxing backyard, great beds, lots of amenities! We thoroughly enjoyed the house. After a day of hiking it’s a wonderful respite. The location is convenient just minutes off 89A, in a quiet valley. It’s the home base you need to enjoy all the best of Sedona.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting

The house is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. It has everything you would need and the meticulous care the owner has taken to ensure guest comforts is evident in the details. If we are ever in the area again (which is likely because it has such incredible natural beauty) we would stay here in a heartbeat. Highly recommend !

Amazing Home!

My husband and I loved our stay! The home was spotless and every room was comfortable and homey. The bed in the master bedroom was incredibly comfortable and we really appreciated all the drawer space, extra blankets and full size washer and dryer, especially after full days of hiking. The Adirondack chairs on the back deck was our favorite spot for morning tea and “happy hour”. Dave and Becca were wonderful hosts! What a nice touch to arrive to a welcome note, local chocolate and coffee! The location is perfect for easy access to a variety of hikes. Cathedral Rock is right out the back door and an easy walk up. Several other trailheads are within walking distance. Downtown Sedona is a short 10 minute ride as are at least 3 food stores. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay here. The house is beautiful, the open design is very functional, and there is lots of space inside and out. The house was very clean, and we had everything we needed. The property manager replied quickly to a question and comment. The Red Rock Loop Rd drive to the house is scenic with great views of Cathedral Rock.

Perfect Location in Sedona

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Sedona in Arizona. This house was in a perfect location for hiking and exploring the area. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming. This really is the perfect home for four adults. David was the perfect host, going above and beyond what was necessary. I would certainly recommend this home for anyone looking to visit Sedona.

Thoughtful Property Close to Trails

The rental was lovely, very thoughtfully stocked with biodegradable and organic items. We appreciated the gifts of organic tea and chocolate, loved watching the sunset in the outdoor chairs, soft comfy blankets and fantastic tub. The property is very quiet- you can’t hear any cars or road noise at all. Water out of the tap tasted great. Felt safe and very comfortable for two female friends traveling together. Highly recommend the trails in this area and be sure to stop at the viewpoint on the way in!

Lovely stay with easy access to awesome sunset spots

My husband and I stayed at the house with my mother, and it worked out perfectly as each of us had a bedroom with attached bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals, and we enjoyed the extra touches of loose tea and gourmet coffee. Although we couldn't cross the creek (water is too high) to access the trail to Cathedral Rock, it's a photographer's dream with the Secret Slickrock trail a short walk away and Crescent Moon picnic site is just down the road. We enjoyed eating on the patio and sitting on the deck. Although the setting feels rural, it's a 10-minute drive to the grocery store and not far from downtown Sedona or other hiking areas. Very easy check in, and a quick response from the owners if we had any questions.

Perfect!

This home was just perfect for us! The hosts communicated well and provided phone numbers if needed. The views were just lovely and the house is close to many trails and attractions. We were so comfortable during our stay. Everything was very clean and the kitchen well stocked. The bed was very comfortable and the soaker tub in one of the bathrooms was a real treat. Each room has individual climate control which was very nice. We hope to return to the area and if we are able to, we would like to stay here again.
