Amazing views ideal location

You will not be disappointed! The views can not be beat, you can take a short walk on the property trail over to airport loop where you are at the destination of even more views! Kitchen has everything you can need appliance wise. The cozy, historic and art feel perfectly fit Sedona. You are walking distance from everything you need for your stay! Will definitely return!

Worst Stay Ever!!! Don't be fooled!

Yes this property is Historic and has amazing views. That is the end of the nice things i can say. I pity the people who stay after us, under the new listing, the bathroom toilet upstairs broke and flooded the bathroom below it with gross brown mold looking water. It is very obvious this has happened before as that bathroom has a very soft floor. The water ruined hundreds of dollars of my cousin's things, and the owner ciuld have cared less. The smell was so bad the room was unusable. We had to leave a night early. This was just the final straw for us. Other issues included, Ants everywhere inside, some mind of bugs on the couch,

Amazing property and location

Recently hosted our spiritual retreat here and we. Oils t have been more pleased with this house. The views, rooms and character of the house created a unique experience for everyone. The artwork was inspiring and every room had its own flavor and bathroom. Communication with the owner was also incredible. She was attentive and sweet. We will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Arna! ❤️

Spectacular Views!!!!

Absolutely beautiful property, and the views are breathtaing. House is a bit dated, but was so great that everyone had their own bedroom with a bathroom for our group of 7 people. The dining room table sat everyone and was where we spent a lot of time playing games and hanging out once the sun went down. The bed mattresses should all be replaced, they are very worn our and have noticable indents. Also, the pool could use a heater, the water temp was 55 degrees, so we were not able to enjoy it at all. I would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Sedona.

The views were absolutely spectacular and we could hike to the vortex from the house!

The house was plenty big for our party of six. We loved sitting in the living room looking out the windows at the amazing views. The house was well stocked. The house needs a little more maintenance, especially in the bathrooms. When a storm happened, there were several leaks. One of the doors didn’t lock as well. Very happy overall. We had a fabulous time celebrating our 50th birthdays.

Love Aunts- not ants

We’d been planning a family get together since the beginning of the year, traveling from Alaska, Colorado, California & Washington. The one line picture looked perfect!! The view was amazing!! The inside of the house was ok, but the ants were everywhere.. the owner must have known of because there were bait everywhere. My main disappointment was that the pool wasn’t heated. I probably wouldn’t have chosen this place had I know we were not going to be able to use the pool.. But the location was perfect, sunset/rise were amazing.

Not horrible

We did not realize how old the house was. Built in 1940 it’s very old. Pool was dirty with animal droppings around the edge. Lots of leaves and debris that we vacuumed out ( not big deal). Arna was very responsive on getting things fixed and we saw her maintenance guy almost everyday. Very friendly guy! Overall good stay just go into it knowing this is an old outdated house.

Needs a good overall

We enjoyed the “rustic” appeal. However, the living room furniture is old & dirty. We did not want to sit on it. Our bedroom sheets had crumbs in them, had to get a new pair and put on, did not want to see the bed topper…another bedroom sheets had dark hair all over them. Dining room was great with the panoramic views. Kitchen was fine. It was well stacked. The pool was not heated as stated it should be until 10/31. The surrounding pool area ( sandstone?) was cracked and pieces everywhere. The place needs a good cleaning job and maintenance repair. There was also a musty smell as soon as you walked in. The views were spectacular!!!

SaddleRock Ranch June 2018

The view is amazing. It is a 40 year old property and a landmark. We enjoyed having the pool and hot tub right there and the privacy was nice. The linens and dishes were clean and plentiful; however this house needs some serious TLC. We don't mind dealing with some issues, or even old homes, but it really had a lot. The garbage disposal was broken when we arrived (horrible stench) One of the air conditioners was broke for 3 of our 4 day stay (we had the house - 3 bedrooms 6 people). The owners respond quickly, but we had to trouble shoot. The appliances in the kitchen are updated but the counter and cabinets were tough. The deck has several weak boards and the pool has weeds growing out of the tiles and several missing plaster spots. The water in both the pool and the hot tub were clean. Only one of the two motors in the hot tub was working. We found cobwebs in many many places. The wooden deck chairs were falling apart. Like I said, it needed TLC.

June 2022 review

Prior to booking, we read the reviews of AC not working properly but did not want to write off the house. Instead we emailed to see if the issue was resolved, which the owner said yes. Upon arrival, the house was close to 100 degrees and the majority of our trip was spent stressing and communicating the problem to get resolved.Not only was the temperature a concern, but the amount of bugs in the home was awful. From ants to Beatles to big spiders, you could find them literally everywhere you went. The most common places were bedrooms, kitchen counters and cabinet, and all on the floor. Even after properly securing our food, we still found bugs inside. The house had such potential, but needed a ton of TLC and was not worth the money. The pool was filthy, the pool cushions were dirty and ripped. The floor boards near the pool were rotting and dangerous. Upon arrival, the bedding was not clean. All of the outside plants/landscape was dead and lacked care. One bathtub had a cigarette bud, a clomp of hair and dirt. You could find cobwebs and dirt everywhere.

Perfect Sedona Experience

We stayed here for 3 days celebrating my sister’s bachelorette party. The house was great for a group with plenty of space for family dinners at the table, lots of couches to hang out, and great views from everywhere in the house. The pool was so perfect to cool off after a hike and hang out during the day. Location was close to everything we wanted to do! Would love to come back for this property!

LOVED the location and the space!!

We were so excited to be in Sedona. 4 Seniors enjoying a special Road Trip with 9 days in Sedona. We had a few hitches with the heating system and TV's that were not working, however we made it work. Some deferred maintenance, for sure. We love cooking special meals and we felt that the kitchen was a little lacking in good utensils. But overall, we would definitely want to stay at Saddleback Ranch again.

Do NOT rent this

We had to leave this house due to safety concerns. This house was 86-100 degrees inside depending on the room you were in. We arrived (me and 7 of my family members) and immediately noticed that 3 of the bedrooms were between 86-100 degrees. I have pictures of the thermostats. The a/c was only working properly in the family room and 1 bedroom. The rest of the house stayed extremely hot. After contacting the property manager we were given access to an additional room however it was 95 degrees despite a running a/c unit and there were cockroaches in the room. The pool was visibly dirty and had a beer can at the bottom. There were alcohol bottles around the pool area outside. It was obvious it had not been cleaned. The spa is green and has murky water. It is unsafe to go into. The a/c thermostat is a nest and it was set at 65 degrees but perhaps just too old of an airconditioning unit. We also noticed a rat trap and rat feces in one of the master bedroom windows. At this point the owner and property manager was no longer assisting us or responding. I notified the owner that we were leaving the home that night and it is equiped with video surveillance. I spent over $1900 on this home rental. After 5 hours of trying we had to leave and pay for hotel rooms. After saving for a year to go on the vacation I dreamed of, I am now faced with not getting a refund for the home rental. At this point the owner and vrbo are not issuing a refund. Please do NOT rent this house. I am contacting the city of Sedona and the better business bureau.

Great place, just a little outdated

Place was amazing. we had a great time staying there. It is a little outdated for some things there, but it is an older home so that is understandable. The pool was a little chilly so couldnt really swim at night, but refreshing when it is really hot outside. Hot tub should be upgraded for price paid to stay there. You will come across some critters while you are here so hopefully you are okay with that. Overall, though it was a great time and would recommend for people that arent looking for anything too extravagant, but likes to be secluded.

Amazing place, with bed bugs...

The house was amazing, beautiful views and one that could have been a perfect 10. After returning, both of my daughters had 'bed bug bites' and the only place that they were together was on the couch in the main area. I contacted the Property Manager, was asked to submit pictures (which we did) and then silence. I have still have been charged a 'cleaning fee' - as ironic as that is - and have never received an apology or something to compensate us. To top it off, there is nearly a 4x (of an average night) deposit required for the home which is charged up front. It appears to have been processed (based on the Property Manager email), but nothing has hit our account. It has been since March 18th since we checked out - day 10 is upon us. I would not be inclined to recommend this property for my family or friends.

Dated

Our group of 5 booked this place because it was the only Sedona property remaining that checked off most on our list. We originally had 6 girls, but one dropped, the place became really expensive because she was supposed to cover the bulk of the bill, but owner would not cancel, we ended up just negotiating a discounted price, though it was still out of our budget. Owner and property manager are very responsive - but know that if you book this place less than 60 days out they still enforce their "60 day cancellation policy" on you. We booked at 30 days out, which means cancelling at 60 days was darn impossible, so be sure to get something in writing from them that you could cancel within the first week of booking if needed. We knew it was a little dated from the photos of the kitchen... but turns out the whole place needed a face lift. The floors creak everywhere, you know when someone is awake. Some of the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen were crooked and nearly falling off. All of the trim were worn and crevices needed to be sealed - there were crawlies. Some of the window curtains are sheer so beware of peeping Toms. Took until our last day for the fridge to finally cool down and run at a chilled temp - our milk spoiled and our orange juice fermented in there among other things. They were willing to run the pool for us for no additional charge during the off season... but if we could, we would've stayed elsewhere. Also, this isn't reflective of the property, but heads up, there is not a single street light on the way up to the property once you entire the little neughborhood, it's pitch black.

My family of 5 stayed for five days and we had a wonderful time!

The house has the most amazing views of the red rocks. The bedrooms and baths are spacious. Everything was extremely clean and well appointed. The home is historic so you can not expect the most modern feel but the kitchen has all of the appliances and cookware that you could need. The Wifi worked perfectly and the hot tub was a great treat after hiking. You are close to most of the most popular trails and minutes from town.
