We were so lucky to find such a great spot for our family trip with our young adult kids. The location was perfect and it’s clear that the owners had their guests in mind when they designed each space. The binder that included restaurant recommendations and trail heads was very helpful for us Sedona newbies. Thanks to Emily and husband for a lovely stay-we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
Great location in a quiet neighborhood if you are looking for a peaceful space during your visit to Sedona. Nicely appointed for families. Emily was very responsive and helpful.
My wife, 3 adult children, and son in law had a wonderful trip. Property and location were just what we were looking for. Spacious inside and out. Thank you for the stay
Excellent communication from the owner. House is perfectly laid out. No detail missed from sleep masks, to tea boxes. Beautiful views in every direction. We loved our stay!
Enjoyed our stay- the house was very spacious and well appointed. It was a great property to house our family. Very comfortable, with well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The just was very easy to work with. Could not have found anything better!
I think it was...
The house more than lives up to the pictures. The decor is comfortable and useable. The owners have helpful labels and notes everywhere, and the house is very well stocked with everything you will need for a great stay.
My only complaint was that our stay ended too soon. We want to go back again.

Hi John! Thanks for the kind words - do come back soon!
The house was exactly as listed on the site. My family of 5 had plenty of space and the location was perfect for all of our planned excursions while visiting Sedona. The host (Emily) was responsive and we couldn’t have asked for anything more during our visit. Beautiful house, well appointed & beautiful neighborhood for walking! We would definitely stay here again!!
This house was clean and exactly as described. Very comfortable for our family of three households, with 4 adults and 4 kids. Kitchen had everything for cooking a meal with all pots, pans and cooking utensils in good condition. Also had a good supply of spices and condiments including coffee. The living and sleeping spaces were clean and comfortable. Nice outdoor spaces as well with nice views out the front side. Great Sedona getaway!

Thank you for the kind words Keith! We'd love to host your family again in the near future.
3 couples stayed at the property for 2 nights to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The house was IMMACULATE!!!! Perfect in EVERY way!! The hosts went out of their way to make it an incredible stay for all of us. From snack baskets to friendly tips to even a hand written birthday card, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!!

So wonderful to hear! I'm late to the party here, but wanted to thank you for the kind review.
Pictures don’t do this home justice! Such a beautiful and clean home. Perfect for a big group. Loved that the diffuser was going when we got there, can’t express enough how clean everything was. The amenities were great! Love the ambience of the entire place. Beautifully staged, with beautiful art pieces and plants throughout the house. Home is surrounded by red rocks in a beautiful neighborhood. Shops, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops just minutes away. And lastly gorgeous hikes and water holes / rivers super close by. Highly recommend!

Such a lovely review, Joseph. We're so happy that you enjoyed our home and some of the small touches I've made to make the home cozy. We hope to host you again soon.
Ideal floor plan and set up for 3 generation family trip, ages 9 months to 67 years. Ditto all the great comments made about the hosts, there was a little glitch when we arrived; they were on it, and the situation was resolved quickly!! Home was clean and stylish, as pictured, easy to find and conveniently located to anything you could need on a vacation, as far as activities and shopping. During our December visit the weather was cool, we used the outdoor firepit, as well as the grill. We did all our own cooking, and the kitchen was well equipped. Clutter free – it’s so nice to open a cupboard or fridge that isn’t crammed with previous guests’ sticky, yucky, expired leftovers! Peaceful design and décor. The beauty of Sedona is at your front door. Thank you, Emily, we highly recommend your lovely home and would not hesitate to return.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! These kind words really make our day. Thank you for recognizing the love we've put into the house it's truly and honor to be able to share our love for Sedona!
This house was perfect for the 6 of us! (Would have held 3 more comfortably as well). The room with the high ceilings has its own wing. I felt like a true princess! This house had coffee and coffee filters supplied for every day. Same with laundry soup, dryer sheets, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash!! The kitchen has tons of spices in the spices drawer. Has lots of pots and pans, crock pot, 9x13 pan, strainer… everything!! We didn’t need to get anything but groceries! They even have a wine opener and wine stoppers! We really enjoyed the comfy king size beds, the roomy living room, the seating out front and the 2 backyards, and added bonus of yoga cards and books. Amazing water pressure and hot showers. We all showered after long hikes and never had a problem. The neighborhood is beautiful. It’s in a nice safe area. You can watch the sunrise and sunset on the beautiful rocks every day. Magical magical stay! You live up to your 10 out of 10 reviews! Thank you!

Wow Julie! Thank you for this thoughtful and detailed review! My husband and I absolutely love hosting and are so happy that you appreciated the love that we put into the house. Come back anytime :)
This trip was in the planning stages for a very long time. It was to celebrate a 60th Birthday, as well as a Christmas gift for our 2 grown children and their partners. While researching the available homes, in my notes I had labelled this house "Wow" after seeing the photos. It certainly lived up to our expectations. The location was absolutely perfect! We LOVED the layout of the home. Mom and Dad had their own wing. I could wake early, make coffee, and not disturb the others. The outdoor area was very appealing, though the Dec. weather was a little chilly so we didn't make use of it. The yoga room was a great place to stretch before and after our long hikes. The location was perfect. We did hikes right from the house, as well as some just a short drive away. We would certainly recommend this home to others.
Loved this home! My family of 6 stayed here for Thanksgiving weekend and it was the perfect size and had all the amenities we needed. The online description was accurate, communication with the owner was easy and pleasant, and the location of the house was ideal. Highly recommended!
The house is as described.
Beds were very comfortable
Solid pots and pans
Plenty of space
Clean
Plenty of hot water
New appliances
Easy bike ride to trail head.
Guys trip to celebrate my 50th and ride bikes for 4 days and easy access to the trails.
The perfect home to spend a birthday with close family and friends. Amazing location, clean, comfortable. The yoga / sun room was an absolute added bonus. Thank you!
The location was fantastic with multiple trails available within walking distance. The house had plenty of space, and the two backyards and one front yard made the trip even more pleasant.
We were 3 adults and 5 children in this home, and we had the best time! The space was perfect for all of us without feeling at all crowded. The kitchen was easy to cook in so we didn't have to go out. The outdoor spaces were also very calm and peaceful. One of the best parts of this home was its location and the amazing views all around! It was very quiet and lovely for morning and evening walks. I would absolutely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Emily
My husband Brian and I love creating and sharing stylish, welcoming spaces surrounded by natural beauty. We’re big fans of cozy beds, great design, and connecting with people from all over.
When we’re not hosting, you’ll find us hiking, biking, practicing yoga, enjoying delicious meals, and seeking out the unique local culture wherever we go. I work in digital marketing, and Brian works on race cars.
We’re always happy to share tips on Phoenix restaurants, Sedona mountain biking, camper van living, or desert gardening. We look forward to hosting you!
Why they chose this property
We love this quiet, safe neighborhood with its beautiful homes and unbeatable access to Sedona’s outdoors. Hiking/biking trails are just steps away, and we’re a 5-minute walk to Posse Grounds Park - a true community hub with new pickleball courts, a bike skills park, skate park, amphitheater for live music and events, and a scenic exercise trail. It’s the perfect blend of peaceful surroundings and vibrant local activity.
What makes this property unique
Our Sedona getaway is designed for comfort, style, and togetherness. With 4 spacious bedrooms (including two master suites with en-suite baths) and 4 bathrooms total, it sleeps 12 guests with ease. The home blends boho style with thoughtful touches - like a record player for cozy music moments, and offers stunning red rock views from multiple spots. Guests can enjoy two distinct outdoor spaces: a private backyard and a front-yard labyrinth perfect for peaceful walks while soaking in the scenery. It’s a stylish, welcoming retreat where groups and families can relax, connect, and make lasting memories.
