About this property

Essential Quiet Escape

Get away for a quiet, essential connection with nature in enchanting and prestigious West Sedona.
Our beautiful, spacious family home away from home is situated in a quiet, safe neighbourhood with amazing views.
The location is tough to beat.
Walk 3 mins to Teacup trailhead.
Four grocery stores, restaurants and shops are a 15-minute walk away.
Create memories in comfort.

All the bedrooms have ceiling fans if you prefer not to run the air conditioning.
All the mattresses have been reported as comfortable.
The Main bedroom has a gas fireplace and TV. The ensuite bathroom is generous with a walk-in closet.
The two bedrooms at the other end of the rancher both have a queen bed and a trundle bed, allowing two single guests to sleep comfortably in addition to the queens in each room.
The 2nd bathroom is newly renovated and has a door dividing the sinks, shower/tub, and toilet area.
The 4th room is an office/media room with a TV and a pull-out couch with a new full-foam mattress. There is also a single bed in this room.
Bedside lamps have USB ports for convenience.
We have an ottoman on wheels in the living area that pulls out into a twin.
The living room has a gas fireplace, TV, and a comfortable luxury leather reclining sectional couch.
The dining room table has two extensions and can sit up to 12 easily.
The Kitchen has new large appliances plus a coffee maker, bodem, coffee grinder, electric kettle, juicer, Nutri bullet blender and Instapot. Soft water and reverse osmosis drinking water. Oh yeah!
The washer and dryer are extra large and new.
The double garage allows for safe bike storage; if you are a mountain biker like us, you might be interested in the bike stand and the garden hose.
Outside the patio are a BBQ and (beer) fridge, plenty of seating and a sectional with an excellent table for card games. There is a good space for outdoor yoga; we supply two yoga mats and one roller. It is a private backyard because no one has yet built on the lots behind our home.
We also supply a high chair, booster seat, playpen, baby bath and toys for little ones.
Sorry, no weddings, receptions, conferences, retreats, or parties, respecting the land use code and our quiet neighbourhood.

Great stay in West Sedona!We stayed for a month and worked remotely — the home was spotless, stocked with everything we needed, and perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to both hiking trails and shops. The two desks with monitors and strong internet made remote work easy for both of us. The backyard was peaceful with comfortable seating, beautiful views, and dog friendly. Hillary and John were wonderful. We plan to rent again for future trips.

This home was ideal for my family of six as we visited Sedona and the Grand Canyon for a week. The two wings afforded privacy while the common areas were spacious for all of us.

This Sedona getaway is perfectly located for reviewing the various sites in and around Sedona

A wonderful place to stay for our group of 5 adult family members and one adult retriever. Everything we needed to cook was available and there are many restaurants and grocery stores close by to obtain any food cuisine you may desire. The property is located in a neighborhood so it is easy to take walks and to venture to local walking paths just beyond the neighborhood that extend into the mountains. I highly recommend this property for your Sedona visit.
