In the 60’s it was Mobster getaway hiding spot. The stone house sits elevated on a hillside with overlooking panoramic views of forestry land, local homes & farms, with scenic pinions.

I absolutely loved staying here. The cottage was perfect and a lovely retreat. The fires at night were absolutely amazing. Love the location and a special shout-out to both Joe and Kyle. Joe has such a deep appreciation for the history and both were so passionate about the animals and what they were doing! Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Beautiful historic ranch

This place has enough so all you need are to pack clothes and food. The host is knowledgable of the area and friendly. It's a nice break from Phoenix heat and higher elevation is further up the road.

Our experience was so nice and relaxing. So many games at the home and a cozy space. My pups had space to roam outside and of course the farm and sunset views were the best part

Rustic retreat with beautiful views

I had a nice long stay at Joe’s little mountaintop farm. The views across the desert are awesome, and the cottage is a sweet little place to stay. Joe and all of his animals are very friendly and hospitable.

Unique experience; rustic charm

Certainly not for everyone, but if you’re up for a unique stay with a rustic feel, Stone Cottage is great. The house was well appointed (even spices, coffee filters etc), clean and oozed authenticity of the old West. The farm animals, especially Calamity Jane, were a huge plus, and it was fun to help feed them and hear about the history of the homestead. Super quiet, waking up to the call of the roosters. The owner, Joe, could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Communication was great throughout the whole process. Loved the ability to kick back in the yard and have a fire at the end of the day and make a meal as opposed to eating out every day. The drive in isn’t the most scenic/through a local residential area, but once you get past it, you’re up on a hill overlooking the valley. If you an adventurous soul, and remember you’re in a 100 year old cottage, staying on this working farm is a great experience.

Lovely Stay

This was the perfect getaway. Joe was very helpful, let me know that I could check in early, and generously introduced me to the animals and shared ideas for activities in the area. The cottage was spotless and a nice mix of yesterday and modern conveniences. Location-wise, it was away from it all but still convenient to Sedona and local attractions. There was plenty of privacy, and the sunsets were breathtaking.

Birthday Get-a-way

My wife and I and our two dogs had a great time. Very peaceful, laid back, and back to nature. We were able to interact with the animals on-site and met up with the ranch hand Kyle which was very informative, introduced us to the many animals there and also allowed us to pick some fresh eggs for breakfast. Awesome experience interacting with nature. Lots of activities and things to do nearby. We were also blessed to be able to interact with the friendly locals. Before leaving, we met Joe the owner and was blessed with a gift of fresh eggs to go. Overall a 5-star stay for sure. Thank you Joe for your awesome hospitality....

Great memories with the kids!

We absolutely loved our stay here, our kids had a blast visiting with all the animals, the home is very clean and cozy. The view off the porch is so cool, the front yard is fenced in which was perfect for kids and dog. Joe is very hospitable and made sure we had everything we need, he even gave us a bunch of goose, duck and chicken eggs. It’s a little off the beaten path but would absolutely recommend staying here to make fun memories with your family they will never forget!

Unique spot with character, views and animal friends nearby. Sparkling with details, it shows the love invested. Skip the hotels near the freeway and find personality instead. Only mistake we made is not spend enough time.

What a great little cottage! Very clean and quaint. Joe the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and allowed us to enjoy every inch of the property. The animals were fun to be around and were very excited to see us each morning and evening around feeding time. Enjoyed the fire pit every evening and amazed at all the stars we were able to see. Great experience and great weekend! Thank you Joe!

Phenomenal!

Joe was an amazing host with a spectacular property! He was very easy to communicate with, added special touches to make sure our dog was welcome. Everything we needed to make an amazing meal and enjoy a night by the fire overlooking a gorgeous view was readily available. I especially enjoyed meeting, feeding, & learning about the animals. A chicken even let me have 3 eggs! We’ll definitely be back! Thanks, Joe!

Wonderful cottage

We loved the stone cottage! Excellent views and you simply fall in love with all of the animals on the property especially the baby goats! Joe the host brought us an assortment of fresh eggs which we enjoyed each morning! Farm to table at its finest. Joe gave us many suggestions of things to see in the area we really enjoyed Dead Horse Ranch state park, highly recommend! The cottage is stocked with everything you need. If you want to see Sedona but don’t want to deal with the congestion then this is the place for you.

Beautiful cottage

My husband, pup and myself had a nice weekend getaway for my birthday. The yard was fenced in so Bella could run and enjoy the outdoors! I went to visit the goats and chickens, so nice having a cottage on the farm. The views were awesome! We lit a small fire using the fire disc. Very nicely updates 1903’s cottage, there is no TV absolutely loved that being able to unplug and enjoy the outdoors and my little family! We look forward to visiting again!

Team Building and Bonding

We had seven adults and three children stay at both the ranch house and the bunkhouse. We had some large dinners and meals that we worked together on in the kitchen, which was well appointed and large enough to handle our group. The vibe of this old property is spectacular and was very conducive to a feeling of special connection. The addition of the animals on the property and the willingness to share them with an amazing bonus for kids and adults I like loved.

About the host

Hosted by Joe

Host profile image
I am transitioning to farm life, as I develop my 2.7 and 6.8 acre neighboring properties for horses, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, bees and rabbits. Looking to turn this historic property homes and remaining property into an aquaponics and traditional farm that is self supporting and a source of education for locals, students, guests. As well as a local source for neighboring restaurants. Watch the property come alive and evolve, as I bring the rich history of this property from late 1920's dude ranch for stars and VIPs thru the 1950's to the 1960's vacation and getaway for the Mafia...into sustainable growing ranch and farm.

Why they chose this property

The ranch is located less than 3 miles from highway 17. From here you can easily travel to all of the sites and activities that the Verde Valley has to offer, without getting stuck in the tourist traffic of Sedona. Your one exist south of Sedona, One exit north of Camp Verde, east of Cornville and Cottonwood.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the panoramic views with great sunsets. The Cottage overlooks a 40 acre ranch with cattle, that roam the area. There are goats (7 new ones born in May and April), Geese, Peking Ducks, Running Ducks, Muscovy Ducks, Turkeys, chickens and a bee hive. Fetch your own fresh eggs daily. Detach and escape your busy life with your very own animal relaxation crew...lol
