Great location!

House was very nice and the beds were comfortable. There was snow on the ground our entire time and my granddaughter had a blast playing in it. Large windows allowed me to watch from inside near the fireplace. The location was central to all activities that we wanted to do. Make sure to add the Lowell Observatory to your itinerary. I would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely home in great location

My family and I stayed here for a Christmas reunion and it couldn’t have been better. Home is well equipped and so comfortable. The hospitality was fantastic and they even had a Christmas tree to make it feel so festive. I sure hope it’s available for our next trip.

Loved this property!

We came out to Flagstaff as home base for a family vacation, five people ranging in age from early twenties to early seventies. We absolutely loved this property! Rebecca truly thought of everything and was present through the whole process, even reaching out during our stay to make sure that everything was okay. The space was beautiful and clean and allowed for ample space to congregate when we wanted, as well as for ample privacy. On our days off from excursions, we spent our time outside playing games and enjoying the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. We would definitely come back to this property, and would highly recommend it to others!

Wonderful Weekend Retreat

This property was beautiful, peaceful, spacious and perfect for our family! We had an NAU graduate, the house is close to NAU. We had 3 generations staying there and the place was great for everyone! There was plenty of seating and areas for food prep. The kids enjoyed the outdoor games and everyone loved thegathering places outside. We cooked in the kitchen, grilled outside and had a great experience overall! I can't say enough good about it, thanks for renting it out to us! Unforgettable. Highlights included the kitchen, the firepit, the wind in the pines, windows open at night and proximity to NAU! ❤❤❤

Perfect vacation homebase

This place was everything we needed! Quiet neighborhood, well-appointed kitchen, plenty of space, family games. A few minutes drive from: a big grocery store, the Village Baker (great bread and pastries), Tiki Grill and a good Mexican place next to that. 15-20 min from downtown restaurants along Route 66. Very easy highway access. Rebecca very thoughtfully messaged on our last evening offering a late checkout, which made our last day much more pleasant. Would stay here again any time!

This VRBO was the best I've stayed in. Very nice, clean and comfortable house. This host has gone above and beyond to provide all of the things you could possibly need during your stay. Our son loved all the games and activities she has at the house. My wife and I loved how peaceful the backyard is and all the great windows looking out there! Highly recommend.

Birthday Weekend With Friends

We enjoyed our stay so much last year that we decided to stay again! It's such a great home with everything our group of 6 friends needed for a relaxing and fun weekend. The back patio is my favorite spot for morning coffee and a book. We cooked a great meal one night and then sat around the table playing card games while enjoying the fireplace and music through the blue tooth speaker. Can't wait to do it again next year. :-)

AMAZING

My family and I loved staying at this house. It was very clean, nicely decorated, had comfortable furniture and beds. There are games for inside and outdoors. Backyard is wonderful place to spend time day or evening. The hosts left us a nice surprise. We would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion would be to add luggage racks in the bedrooms.

Beautiful home in a great neighborhood

Our family did a weekend getaway in Flagstaff and Rebecca’s house was perfect. Large enough for 7 adults and 3 kids and such a beautiful house. The backyard is big and has lots of room for the kids to play. They also loved the koi fish! We loved hanging outside and sitting around the fire at night. The inside of the house is well decorated and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back! Thanks Rebecc

Amazing house

My husband and I stayed at Rebecca’s house with our two little kids and my parents and had such an incredible time. The house was beautiful and had plenty of space for all of us. The outdoor space was so peaceful and we spent most of the day sitting on the porch, playing outdoor games and enjoying the beautiful weather. The house was immaculate, well decorated and had so many wonderful touches. The beds were very comfortable and each room had such a warm and inviting feel to it. We can’t wait to come back and spend another week!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca and Corey O'Brien

Hello. We're Rebecca and Corey. We both grew up in Scottsdale but fell in love with Flagstaff as students at NAU years ago. We hope you'll come stay our Flagstaff hideaway. We had so much fun putting this house together, making it as zen-like and peaceful as possible. We hope you enjoy our sanctuary as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Flagstaff has always had a special place in our hearts. We've gone up to enjoy skiing and snowboarding every winter and escaping the Phoenix heat every summer for basically our entire lives and we have so many happy memories here. Flagstaff is a cool, little college town, set in the mountains at 7000 ft in elevation. Flagstaff is home to Humphrey's Peak, the highest peak in Arizona at 12,635 ft. in elevation. Flagstaff's adorable downtown features unique restaurants, bars and shopping. We hope that you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable, modern, minimalist decor, soothing neutral colors, fresh, soft, white bedding and a generous supply of bath towels, wash cloths and hand towels. Tranquil koi pond and huge fenced yard. This home is a perfect getaway from the Phoenix area, just a two hour drive and usually around 20 degrees cooler. Enjoy AZ Snowbowl, just 15 miles away, for skiing or snowboarding in the winter and for hiking and a ride on the ski lift, enjoying the view in the warmer months. Downtown Flagstaff is just 3 miles away and packed with awesome restaurants, bars and unique shops. This property is just minutes away from Northern Arizona University.
