A very enjoyable stay for a long weekend. Close to downtown, quiet neighborhood perfect for walks with the pup, and a stocked kitchen for home cooked meals.
Would definitely stay again!
Great location. Nice and big enough fenced backyard for my dog. Not the easiest to find but it got figured out quickly. Everything one would need for a week's stay!
Absolutely charming bungalow nestled in perfect proximity to everything Flagstaff has to offer. Walking distance to all the shops and parks. Bungalow itself was immaculate and extremely comfortable. Loved the totally private backyard with firepit, picnic table, and Adirondack chairs. Enough plates, dishes, utensils, glassware and cooking utensils. Everything from linens to countertops were brand new. My grand 'fur baby' loved the shade provided as well as enough room in the backyard to play fetch. Would stay in any other the other properties on premises in a heartbeat. Don't hesitate in booking here, it will not disappoint!
The simplicity of the location and check-in. The bungalow had all of the essentials at my fingertips. It was comfortable and quiet. Lovely old house. I would love to stay there again sometime.
Great location to downtown and hiking/parks, neat/tidy, cool, temps in house w/ AC, small but efficient! Great place for small dogs! We were pleased with rental! Would rent from again!
Rich’s bungalow is very cute with fun retro touches throughout. The house has a private backyard that is fully fenced, which was perfect for spending time outside with our pup. Very conveniently located to downtown Flagstaff- walkable if you want, Quiet neighborhood. Would stay again!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. Everything is as described. Our little dog also enjoyed his stay although he probably would have made better use of the backyard if there wasn’t so much snow (not too much one can do about that however). The property owner was very responsive to messages sent via the VRBO app.
This location is perfect for walking to town. It’s also very quiet. The photos are accurate. It’s a cute place, but definitely not for taller people. The back yard is perfect for those with a dog, and the neighborhood is also great for dog walking. We love the retro kitchen appliances.
We enjoyed our stay here. Our building was 1 of 4 with ample designated parking. The building is small with low ceilings but didn’t bother us. The backyard was perfect for our dog with a tall, private wooden fence. The area was quiet and within walking distance of downtown and a lovely city park. There was no outdoor grill but there was fire pit with wood.
This is a small older building with a nice yard. It had a bed that was horrible for my back. ended up sleeping on the couch on 3rd night using our dog bed for extra cushion. (which was still better than the bed) There's a great park for the dogs easy walking distance. Close to restaurants and bars. plus Close to the obvertory. interesting neighborhood some redone homes apartments and some homes that needed some love.
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024

Hi Barry! I'm so sorry about your back. The mattress is a two-year-old Tuft n' Needle, which is a high-quality brand. Yours is the first such complaint, but I will personally check it out today. Again - I am so sorry!
Really cute little cottage with great back yard. Very clean, modern and well appointed kitchen. Great location for walking downtown. Nice safe neighborhood. Rich is a great host and kept in touch with all the necessary instructions. Our pup loved it too.
The perfect space for me, my husband, and our dog. The bungalow was cozy and comfortable. Located in a quiet neighborhood only a few blocks from town and the trails. The dedicated yard was a wonderful amenity! We would love to stay here again!
Checked out this morning after our amazing 4 day stay at this location!! It’s so cute and homey! The amenities included are above any expectations we had while booking. We will definitely stay here again and I will recommend this place to anybody needing a getaway in Flagstaff!
Rich’s place was just perfect for a little fall getaway. Our pup loved the yard and we loved turning on the electric fireplace in the evening. Walkable to downtown and even NAU for a longer stroll. Close to Thorpe Park as well. We’ll def be recommending this spot to our friends!
Very clean and cute tiny house was the perfect vibe for our Flagstaff weekend! Walking distance to downtown and restaurants and coffee shops and shopping. Nestled in a charming historic neighborhood. But be warned, you’re probably going to brush your head on the ceiling frequently if you’re a tall person. But it’s kinda part of the tiny charm!
We had a great experience with this host. The house we booked was not ready for us so before check in he upgraded us to another bigger property at no cost to us. Communication was great and check in was easy. We would go with them again.
My wife and I live in Phoenix and frequently travel with our two little dogs. We bought this home in Flagstaff because we love the historic pre-war charm and location in the center of things – we are close to downtown, NAU, and all the hiking trails. We enjoyed fully remodeling the home, putting on a brand new roof and installing new air conditioning and heat, all new cabinets, countertops, and appliances. We hope that you enjoy the home as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
The Big Sky Bungalow is extremely well located immediately west of downtown in an enchanting neighborhood that is walking distance to shopping, restaurants, parks, and hiking trails.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique due to its combination of old and new. It was constructed before the second world war, yet you’ll find an updated kitchen with modern appliances, air conditioning, and Samsung Smart TVs in the living room and bedroom.
