Psssstttt... Coming from a local, THIS is where you want to stay. Perfectly situated 15 minutes to Sedona (sans Sedona prices) but also only 10 minutes to Old Town Cottonwood and 20 minutes to Jerome, you'll get to see it ALL! There is so much to explore here and this location is right smack in the middle of it. Enjoy this stylish 3-bedroom, 2-bath desert retreat, where rustic charm meets modern comfort and the perfect home base for all of your adventures.

This house is lovely. Very clean and we felt safe. We picked this house because the master bathroom was perfect for three women to get ready for attending a wedding, with Mirrors on two walls and a skylight. The only thing that made our stay less than a five star stay was the mattresses If you prefer FIRM memory foam like beds you will LOVE this place! We did reach out to the owner upon check out with feedback and she informed us this is a newer listing and would look into a solution. The A/C is locked at set temperatures so if you are cold bundle up. If you are hot open windows, turn on fans. This was not a problem as we stayed when the weather was perfect.
This was a wonderful house in an area central to many places we wanted to visit.Thank you for the notebook with instructions, as well as ideas for restaurants, hiking, etc! Very clean and stocked with the basics! It was comfortable and every time we came back from a day of exploring, it felt like home. Relaxing and with the garage, we knew the car was safe as well. Every morning we would open the back patio doors and get cool, fresh air and birdies that would visit. Would love to stay again!
