This home is located in a quiet/peaceful area and acts as a perfect base for exploring the Sedona area. The kitchen is very well equipped; open space living room and dining area, bedrooms and baths all excellent. The outdoor deck, patio areas and hot tub are bonuses to be enjoyed.We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in this lovely home.

What a fabulous stay. This is one of my favorite VRBOs ever! The house is so cheery and the backyard is filled with retreat-like amenities. The kitchen is well stocked and everything is so comfortable. Mike is a super host - with great communication. Sedona is a magical place and so is this wonderful home.

Great place to stay in the Sedona area. Nice and convenient to a beautiful view of Cathedral Rock after a short walk. This home has everything you need and more. Just as described or maybe better. We had a hiccup but it was handled. It could use a towel bar in the bathroom and maybe rug at the back door. I will return!
This is a short walk out the back door!

We loved our stay at this property! The scenery on the way to the home is spectacular and the location is really fabulous. The home itself is lovely! It is a property where you feel more like a guest than a customer - it's very welcoming, clean and comfortable - and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the backyard setting so much - it is relaxing and peaceful with beautiful landscaping and trees. We never hiked out back so we can't comment on those trails - but Sedona has so much outstanding hiking to offer! We ventured out each day and can't say enough about how amazing this area is! And the hot tub was a real bonus after miles and miles of daily hiking. Mike is a very responsive and helpful host and provides excellent tips and local knowledge in the house manual. 5 stars all around!

I spent a month at the gorgeous home in West Sedona. It has everything you could want or need for a comfortable and enjoyable retreat as well as some special treats like a hot tub, espresso machine, and deck with the most amazingly comfortable chairs where you can just sit and enjoy the amazing mountains. The host is awesome and does all he can to make your stay the best it can be. This is my 2nd time staying at this beautiful home and I hope to be back in the not to distant future

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.

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.

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!
