About this property

Sam Hill's Cottage In historic Prescott Arizona

Sam Hill's Cottage, built in 1934, has the charm of Prescott history with the conveniences of today (NEW CENTRAL AC!!!) . Owned by a descendant of Sam Hill and nestled among granite hills, our cottage is a true Prescott experience. Founded in 1877 The Sam'l Hill Hardware Company was destroyed along with the rest of Whiskey Row on Montezuma Street during the infamous Prescott Fire. By 1903 the rebuilt store soon became the region's largest hardware supplier. "Why in the Sam Hill are you telling me this" you ask? Because we want you to experience Prescott past and present in Sam Hill's Cottage.

Cute house just outside of the Town Square

Things I want everyone to know. It has a Washer and Dryer It actually had to window AC units, one in the master and one in the kitchen. They provided a large number of fans to assist with circulating the air in the house. It was Mid July for us and we all slept comfortably. Really enjoyed our stay.

Vacation visit to Prescott

We enjoyed our stay at Sam Hill’s Cottage. Description on-line was accurate. Location was great and quiet. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the morning reading for a bit each day. The location is only a short distance from downtown. We spent our time exploring the sights nearby such as Watson Lake and Willow Creek reservoir. The only negatives worth mentioning would be very weak water pressure in the shower and the garbage disposal in the sink needs cleaning. The smell was quite strong. Neither of these would prevent us from returning.

Beautiful setting, quiet neighborhood, great place to stay!

Sam Hill Cottage is nestled at the end of a short street -- no traffic, no noise with only a short drive to downtown Prescott, grocery stores, and other activities (fair grounds/rodeo/restaurants). It's beautifully refurbished with a well-equipped modern kitchen and separate washer/dryer room. The host was readily accessible and helpful. We will definitely stay there again. Jim & Karel

Great Little Cottage

Had a great time. Place was perfect size for our needs, although the listing stated the living room couch was a pull out bed and it's not. Loved the shaded patio for breakfast. Perfectly tucked away, but close to historic district.

Disappointing

House was clean but shabby. Furniture was old and rickety. One bed was worn out. Yard and exterior unkept. I caught a couple mice in the house... The big problem was with the AC which was inadequate and failed halfway through stay. Landlords were nice but were unable to do timely repairs. They did provide a portable AC which was very noisy and of little use to cool the house. We move out early and did receive a small refund but, in my opinion, not enough to compensate for the troubles we endured. I cannot recommend this place.

Sam Hill Cozy Cottage

We enjoy all the nearby hiking and there is always something happening in downtown Prescott. The Christmas lights are spectacular. Elks theater concerts, parades, shopping and restaurants. Colts BBQ, Papas Italian and El Gato Azul are our favorites.

COZY CUTENESS!!

This property sits back on a dark and quiet road. There are next to no noises at all. The house was super cozy, the beds were great. The shower....OMG amazing! The only little minor issue I had was getting into the lock box to gain access to the key. The numbers were hard to see and the little lever that you pull down..not very agreeable. Other than the little disagreement with the lock box...FANTASTIC SPOT!!! Look forward to stay next year for the Legacy Ranch Horse Sale.

Perfect spot

This house is tucked away almost at the end of a dead end street, nestled up into the boulders that are the hallmark of Prescott's landscape. Quiet, clean, and perfectly appointed. It was our second time here and we'll definitely check for this property first any time we're planning a trip to the area.

Wonderful little cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sam Hill Cottage. It was a perfect location in a very quiet neighborhood just outside of downtown but close enough that we could get around very easily. The place was spotless when we arrived, the beds were very comfortable and the small living room was nicely appointed. The kitchen is well stocked with coffee and tea and has a nice gas stove and a table that seated all 4 of us comfortably. The outside deck was shaded and lovely. Lisa was very responsive when I called to tell her we would be arriving late, possibly after dark, she went over to turn on the outside lights for us. We will definitely stay here again if it’s available the next time we’re up in Prescott.
