Great Cozy Cottage!

My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Cozy Cottage. The owners have gone above and beyond ensuring we did not want for anything! We very much appreciated all of the little extra touches! The cottage was nestled in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute drive to shopping and restaurants. Close proximity to Tonto Natural Bridge and Wagon Wheel too! Would stay again!

Daughter’s birthday weekend

It was a cute place but could use some fixing up. Such as paint and some deep cleaning. I would also suggest having different sizes of pillows for the bed. The pillows were super thick and hurt our necks. We ended up using blankets instead.Check in went smooth and property manager was very friendly. I asked prior if they had a coffee pot and was told yes. They had two coffee makers, a Keurig and regular coffee maker. We tried using the Keurig, it was dirty and spilled coffee and coffee grinds all over the counter and floor. The other coffee pot was dirty so we drove to town to get coffee. The jacuzzi was nice and hot but the jets on one side didn’t work very well and the water was extremely cloudy. There needs to be more lighting around the jacuzzi area.It’s in a beautiful location and easy to find. I feel it was a bit overpriced for what it was.

Cute relaxation

Such a cute little place. Great hot tub that was easy to open. Tons of games and activities - we didn’t bring kids, but has toys for littles. Close neighbors, but I didn’t see anyone and only heard one car drive by - very private. Kitchen had everything we needed. Comfy bed that even had chocolates on our pillows.

Best. Birthday. Ever.

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful home with my boyfriend for my birthday celebration. Gorgeous drive up, easy check in and the amenities were more than I expected, even down to shampoo in the shower and ice in the fridge. Clean and comfy, I really didn't want to check out. I 10000% intend to book again!!!!

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for over 53 years, We are the proud parents of 2 children and now have added their spouses to our family. Our son and his wife have 2 boys, our daughter and her spouse have 2 girls. We were blessed to find our home in this quiet community. We love the quiet and solitude here. We have been able to purchase 4 homes one for us and 3 we are able to share with others. We live down the street from the rentals so are close by for any needs.

Why they chose this property

It is quiet secluded and relaxing. You are still close to town so can quickly go out for shopping, bowling movies and out for the evening. The area offers hiking and there is frequent festivities in the nearby towns. A local horse stable offers horse back riding. Cute boutiques,antique malls thrift stores. The stars at night are very breathtaking.

What makes this property unique

Home owner close by for any problems or questions, area is quiet. Surrounded by the national forest area where you can take your quads out riding,(must be street licensed and follow speed limits while in housing area)You can fish on the East Verde River which is a close walk from our home. If you have additional family members and need additional room the homes next to this are VRBO #615502 and #2680098. They sleep up to 8 in each home. Each home has a jacuzzi.
