We realize that many of our guests will have more than the 2 vehicles that can fir in the garage. During the dates of May 1 - October 31 guests are welcome to park in front of the home. During the Dates of November 1 - April 30, guests can park on the street during the day but cars cannot be parked on the street between the hours of 12am - 6 am. This is a city ordinance. There are designated parking spots throughout the community you can park in overnight. For the closest spots you’ll want to take a right on Wright Rd and then your first left on Clement Cr.



The lock into the back yard and into the house front the back have the same code.



Guest Access:

Guests will have full access to the home, including the garage for convenient parking. Entry is simple and secure with a smart lock on the front door—no keys to keep track of. During the summer months, additional seasonal street parking is available.



The Neighborhood:

Nestled in the heart of Flagstaff, the Presidio Neighborhood is a charming and lively community that effortlessly combines the city's rich history with contemporary living. This sought-after neighborhood offers residents and visitors a blend of culture, convenience, and character that makes it a standout destination.



Proximity to Downtown: Located just a short drive from downtown Flagstaff, and the university the Presidio Neighborhood offers easy access to the city's vibrant shops, restaurants, and entertainment options.



Outdoor Recreation: Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby urban trails and parks, which provide opportunities for hiking, biking, and picnicking.



Getting Around:

The best way to explore Flagstaff and the surrounding Northern Arizona attractions is by car. While Flagstaff does have public transit and ride-share options, many of the area’s highlights—such as the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Snowbowl, Walnut Canyon, and countless hiking trails—are easiest to reach when you have your own vehicle. A car allows you to enjoy the flexibility of mountain drives, day trips, and exploring at your own pace. Streets are easy to navigate, and most destinations offer convenient parking.



Other Things to Note:

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $65 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.



Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include:

Early Check-in - $25/hr



Pet Policy: We welcome well-behaved pets! A $75 per pet, per stay fee applies. Please clean up after your pet and keep them off furniture.



Early check-in is subject to availability at the sole discretion of the host.

Early check-in availability is determined on the day of arrival.



Late Check-Out Policy

We kindly ask all guests to adhere to our check-out time as we are unable to accommodate late check-outs. This allows us sufficient time to prepare the property for the next guests and maintain our high standards of cleanliness and readiness. Guests who stay beyond our standard check-out time of 10:00 AM will incur a fee of $50 per hour. This charge helps offset the disruption to our cleaning schedule, ensuring the property is ready and welcoming for incoming guests.



This space is a private, non-shared unit. There are other listings on the same property.



Snow & Winter Weather Policy



Flagstaff experiences significant winter weather, and we want to ensure our guests are well-prepared for snow-related conditions. Please read this policy carefully, as it outlines what is covered and what is not regarding cancellations, travel disruptions, and snow management during your stay.



What IS Covered (Eligible for Refunds/Rescheduling)



The following events qualify for cancellation or rescheduling outside of our standard cancellation policy:



1. Government-Mandated Travel Restrictions

✅ If a government agency issues a mandatory road closure or evacuation order that prevents access to the property.

2. Large-Scale Utility Outages

✅ If a prolonged power, water, or heating outage occurs due to winter storms, impacting the majority of homes in the area.

✅ Minor disruptions or short-term outages that are common during storms do not qualify.

If one of these covered events occurs, guests may be eligible for a refund, rescheduling, or a credit for a future stay, at our discretion.



What is NOT Covered (Standard Cancellation Policy Applies)



The following situations are not covered by this policy, meaning refunds or rescheduling will not be granted unless they fall under our normal cancellation policy:

❌ Plowing schedules are subject to weather conditions, and delays in plowing are not eligible for refunds.
