Good value in Flagstaff

It was a lovely home and centrally located. Lots of great restaurants in Flagstaff.and I loved being close to a Sprouts Market There is some traffic noise if that is a concern but not with the windows closed. The home is nicely updated.

Clean, comfortable and convenient

The cozy cottage was a great place for our family to relax and enjoy the fresh air together. It's convenient to downtown Flagstaff and NAU, and it's well-equipped for cooking and relaxing. My son loved that he could hook up his game system in the bedroom, and we all enjoyed the hiking trails out the back yard. We hope to return again! Thanks Grace for a wonderful stay!

Cool Cottage! Cool Place to Stay!

Great stay at this cute little place! Very clean and close to all of the things we wanted to do! Next time I visit I will come at a cooler time as there is no air conditioning (Az heatwave right now). However it cooled down at night and a portable evaporative cooler was provided by the property owner. I highly recommend this gem!!

This cozy cabin had all we wanted and more. The location was superb, it was quiet, had everything needed and MORE. I would say next time we will salt the walkway, as it was super icy. Everything was great, and Grace was exceptional as well. Thank you again!

Cute, clean cottage by forest

We rented this cottage for a girls’ getaway. The space was cutely decorated and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck in the cool morning air to watch the birds while we drank coffee. Driveway is very steep- in case you have mobility issues. But other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to revisit!

Very cozy!

Great comfortable space for 6 people to stay. We all had enough room to be able to hang out together but then also spread out when needed. Backyard was way smaller than it looked like in the puctures making it so my brother didnt feel comfortable bringing his 2 dogs. Overall very nice place though.

Summer getaway

The house was perfect for our family of 6. There were plenty of supplies and the home was in good condition. We didn’t have any pets with us during our stay. The neighbors on both sides had dogs but weren’t a bother. We went in July and the weather was on the warmer side, high 80s to low 90s. Multiple fans were available for our use. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would gladly come back to this home again. Suggestions: Ceiling fans in the smaller bedrooms would be useful and help to give more light. Adding Window AC units would help during the hotter time of year.

Thanksgivivng

Everything was fine except for the floors had a lot of dark hair on the floors and were all light haired. Also the neighbor dog on both sides were very vicious and although they were fenced, it made it very difficult and awkward to get our dog to the treat trail area behind the house without incident. The driveway is very awkward. Can only accommodate one vehicle and is quite steep. That would have been OK except we got a ice storm while we were visiting and made it somewhat dangerous. The house itself is very cute. Accommodated our needs.

Great Reasonable Flagstaff Home

The home was clean, and exactly as pictured. Great location, quiet neighborhood and the open forest behind the home was peaceful. The host was also very nice and responsive.

Great spot for a quick trip

The owner was very responsive. The property was perfect for our family to do a quick trip to ski. It was about 35 minutes away from Snowbowl. We went sledding the next day and it was about 35 minutes from Canyon Coasters in Williams.The kitchen was fully stocked. We had everything we needed to cook several meals there. Most of our time was spent enjoying Flagstaff and this was a perfect pit stop for our family to relax and rest.

This place was comfy super cute and easy access to everything in town. It is really close to neighbors on both side who have dogs. Only a chain link fence divides the yards. The dogs will bark when you go outside. But they were very nice

Dog Friendly Retreat

Lovely 3 bedroom home with no carpet and leather furniture making it perfect for traveling with out 4 legged family. Fenced in backyard with fire pit really adds! When I asked about marshmallow roasting sticks, Grace sent me money to pick some up, double what I needed to spend. Fabulous communication. Flagstaff is a great location. Thanks you sooooo much!

Pretty Good Overall

We mostly enjoyed our stay at the Chill Cottage and had a great time overall. The location in terms to nearness of national parks and monuments was perfect! I will give you the pros and cons after staying at this location for a week. Pros: Very cean, updated, GREAT host, stocked w coffee, toiletries, laundry detergent, box fans, fenced in yard for our small dogs, decent wifi, close to many restaurants, grocery stores, had almost everything we needed! Cons: -No air conditioning. Even on the days when it got up to the low 80s, we could not keep the house cool with 3 box fans and a stand alone water cooler. It did cool down at night, but it took a while. We had to sleep w the front door open (there is a security screen door) which was a bit uncomfortable since we weren’t familiar w the neighborhood. It wasn’t the worst experience ever, but there were a few days when it was uncomfortable. -Neighborhood was just ok. I should have Google Earthed it. - Driveway was very steep. Parking was challenging. We had a hard time getting our 3/4 ton truck out of park and into reverse due to the incline. As I mentioned, Grace is a great host and our stay for the most part was a good one.

Great stay

Grace was amazing! We were in town for a trade show and had many last minute changes do to partner and leadership requests. Grace was responsive and accommodating, she went above and beyond. The Cottage was in a convenient location and a nice space to stay. Neighbors were all very friendly and if you have a dog this cottage made traveling with a pet super easy.

Cute house in a great location for NAU/downtown

Had a nice weekend for our daughter’s graduation ceremony. Easy access on/off freeways and to NAU/downtown. The only negative was a steep driveway for access to house, and parking beyond 1 car was at the end of the street.
