A whimsical space!

Clean and well appointed w/everything you would need and then some. A great location to enjoy all of Flagstaff or just stay in and luxuriate in the sauna! Really appreciated the tea selection and the private yard. High scores all around. The whole family is looking forward to returning!

Oasis in a snow storm

My fiancée and I with our dogs stayed 2 nights. We came to see the Grand Canyon but there was an intense winter storm while we were here. It didn’t seem to phase the locals but seeing as we’re from California, we were apprehensive about driving in the snow. It got down to 8 degrees but the cottage stayed cozy and we were grateful for the heated floors. If it wasn’t for the ample space and sauna this trip would have been ruined. It was a very nice place to be holed up for a storm. We will just have to come back in the Spring to see the Grand Canyon and definitely stay here again.

Perfect little place!

We absolutely loved this space! Perfect size for my small family. Beautiful little backyard where we grilled, ate and enjoyed a campfire every night. The location was close to fishing, hiking, horseback riding, restaurants and a grocery store. Thank you for helping to make our family vacation a great one!

Perfectly Quaint

Excellent communication from Ryan! We will stay here again when visiting NAU for sure. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to relax but still have the amenities of home away from home. Cutest decor and so comfy. We didn’t try out the sauna because the weather was too hot, but I bet in the winter it would be amazing!

Cozy and unique

We stayed for a graduation and really enjoyed our stay here. We have a 2 year old that throughly enjoyed the lofts(with our supervision of course). We were pleasantly surprised to find 2 small mattresses upstairs in one of the lofts. We didn’t end up using them but if we returned that’s somewhere separate for the kids to sleep. The bathroom/shower was so cool and unique. It kind of reminded me of a cabin feel but clean. We appreciated having the washer and dryer since we traveled cross country. Very nice hosts. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Oh and very convenient location for NAU and flagstaff. Thank you guys.

New Years Ski getaway

Stayed for 3 nights for a cozy getaway in the snow and home base for skiing. The rental was perfect for our family and fur kids. Ryan was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The sauna was perfect after a long day on the slopes. All the essentials were there and our teenagers appreciated having their own separate loft! Definitely will stay again. Oh and the massive heard of elk passing through the property in the morning was pretty cool too!

Not for everyone

Communication with host was great. Location felt isolated. I went in December and was constantly cold especially with the bathroom being located so close to back door exit with lots of drafts. This place wasn't for me but I'm sure others will like it.

Ah-mazing Stay for Thanksgiving

When I tell you I could make a whole thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings because the home away from home provided everything I needed, I mean it! Ryan is an amazing host who was more than gracious to provide an amazing stay that included our silly emotional support dog Apollo to roam about outside in the spacious backyard. Do not sleep on this oasis, it’s worth the stay. Will definitely book again in the future

Everything You Need

Communication was great. Check in was easy. Overall this place worked well. It was a bit cluttered and challenging to find places to set luggage or other items. Being dog friendly was nice but tricky to let your dogs in the yard even with supervision as there was a way for them to get out easily. Also a strange set up to have to go through the bathroom to get to the backyard. The place worked okay and was clean, just a bit too cluttered and strange set up for convenience with being pet friendly.

A cozy stay!

We loved this unique spot! Perfect for people looking for something a little different from your average place. The listing gave us the impression that it wasn't necessarily meant for kids, but on being there, a couple areas seem especially for them. There are two lofts with low ceilings that would be tougher for adults to make use of. There were also a number of children's books. We really enjoyed the style of the decor. One thing we didn't get to make use of was the sauna, which would be wonderful, I'm sure. Maybe next time! This place is in a nice, quiet area, and close to lots of hiking trails, which was perfect for us. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The hosts were very pleasant to deal with; they were friendly, accessible and accommodating. The kids really enjoyed the loft areas and the fact that it was a unique space. The facilities were well appointed with pretty much everything we needed; we didn't use the sauna but it looked cool and would probably have been nice. It was good to be slightly out of town; easy to get to, quiet and quick to run into town if we needed/wanted to. The space it open and bright. The only issue we had was when we booked through Expedia the instructions we received in our confirmation email were incorrect, which made it challenging to access the suite the first night. But once we got that figured out contacting the hosts directly, I would recommend this location.
