Serene Home ~ Sleeps 16 ~ Kings & Queens~ 2 Kitchens~ Hot Tub ~ Starlink Wifi
Most guests tell us they LOVE the quiet, peaceful location, and beautiful starry night sky, away from the Sedona traffic, and yet still only minutes away from everything Sedona has to offer. Our private Desert Rose Retreat property is ideal for large families, and reunion or friend groups who want a relaxing, healing trip in nature.
This home now features Starlink high-speed internet, providing reliable Wi-Fi perfect for remote work, streaming, or staying connected, even in our peaceful, secluded location.
Bring up to 16 guests to stay in our 5 cozy, bright bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms. This ranch-style multigenerational home has plenty of space to spread out comfortably.
There’s no shortage of gathering places to hang out with your loved ones. Come together in the wide-open Great Room for game night, or cozy up on the couches in the family room for cards or charades. We have 2 living rooms! We also appreciate the value of alone time. In the mornings, embrace your yoga practice or meditate in the peaceful yoga room. And when you’re done, cozy up in the reading nook and take a peek through the telescope.
If you enjoy cooking, Desert Rose Retreat’s 2 full kitchens and breakfast bar are at your disposal. Savor late mornings with a freshly brewed pot of coffee to sip on as natural light floods the airy room.
Need to feed an army? Whip up a potluck dinner in our 2nd kitchen (that's right- we have 2 large kitchens!) with stainless steel appliances, or use the BBQ grill to cook something tasty. Then gather at the hardwood dining room table (booster seat available) for good conversation and wine.
To say evenings at Desert Rose Retreat are enchanting is an understatement. Whether you stay in for a relaxing bubble bath, soak in the outdoor hot tub (heated year-round), or convene at the patio’s fire pit beneath the stars, you’ll feel that palpable Sedona magic in the air.

We do charge a $35 non refundable pet fee per pet per night (2 pets max) - this will be charged to you AFTER you have made the booking. Or we cap at $275- whichever is the lesser of the two.

The Neighborhood Desert Rose Retreat is a secluded 1-acre property that’s accessible to the urban amenities of Sedona, but far enough away to feel like a totally rural escape in nature. We created this stay because we believe it’s truly the best of both worlds – you don’t have to compromise on privacy or convenience.
The home is surrounded in all directions by Red Rocks and mountainscapes. Visit the trails of Sedona Wetlands Preserve just a few minutes away for birding. Or stroll along the property’s edge and admire the horses next door from afar. Want to head into the city? You’re less than 15 minutes by car from downtown Sedona. For a tasty dinner and cocktails, stop into a quality eatery like the Vault Uptown, or Cowboy Club Grille & Spirits. There are plenty of arts and shopping opportunities here as well. Don’t miss the charming Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village.
Famous Red Rock formations are also at your fingertips. Have a spiritual experience at Chapel of the Holy Cross, visit an energy vortex like Bell Rock, or go for a powerful hike at Red Rock State Park.

This house is huge and perfect for bigger groups that want to have plenty of sleeping space and hangout space! There are several individual bedrooms and also plenty of bunks to sleep groups or even separate families, Two fully stocked kitchens, two full dining rooms, and a yoga room, mean this villa has plenty of space! The hot tub is great, the pool is refreshing, and there is a nice space to lounge in the sun. Plenty of parking as well. Very close to Sedona offering easy access to the town, shopping, and outdoor activities.
My large family had a great time plenty of room to hang out together it each family had their own space too. We had everything we needed and we brought the fun

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy Desert Rose Retreat met all your family’s needs and gave you a peaceful place to unwind. And yes—those starry Sedona nights are something special! You’re welcome back anytime.
Located outside of Sedona which made it super quiet and made for spectacular stargazing! But close enough to everything you need to access. House was amazing, pool was perfect, it was more than i could have hoped for.

I am so glad that you loved our Desert Rose Retreat! Yes, we also love how quiet and peaceful the location is but it is also a short drive away from all you need. Looking forward to hosting you again!
This is a an awesome property if would like to spend time with your extended family group or friends. This is a really big , cute house. It was well maintained, the pool tub and jacuzzi were our group’s favorite area. There are good segregations with multiple living rooms and kitchens if different generations in the group want to spend time in their liked ways, we loved our stay and highly recommended, forgot to mention parking would never be a problem at this property for multiple cars !

Upon arrival, we were in awe. A large home perfect for our family. Beautiful surroundings -- cold out but we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend to any other families who decide to vacation to this spot. One in the books

Hey there Jodie- thank you so much for the lovely feedback. That 12 seater dining table definitely comes in handy for the large group gatherings and meals. Hoping that we can host you again in the future!
The house was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of space and places to enjoy the company of friends. Loved the hot tub, pool, and lounging deck out back. Close to everything you'd want in Sedona and far enough away to enjoy the peace of Sedona. The hosts were communicative and informative. Loved the guide you get in advance to get to know the area and property. They hosts clearly care for the house as someone came to clean the pool/hot tub twice while we were there and folks came to tidy up the landscaping. The hosts let us know about all of that in advance so we'd know what to expect. The one note I'd make is about the room with the two twin beds. That is the room you have to walk through to get to the second part of the house with the upstairs King bed/bunk beds and second kitchen. Not a problem, but that was unclear for us ahead of time.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the space, outdoor amenities, and the peaceful setting while still being close to everything Sedona has to offer. We also appreciate you recognizing the communication and upkeep of the property. Our goal is always to make sure everything feels seamless and well cared for during your stay.
And thank you for calling out the layout detail regarding the twin bedroom. That’s helpful feedback, and we’ll make sure to clarify that more clearly in the listing so future guests know exactly what to expect.
We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in Sedona.
This property was the perfect spot to celebrate. The location was 15-20 mins from most trail heads, golf, restaurants.
The house was clean and great to accommodate our large group.

A very nice large home with plenty of space for your entire party to spread out and yet still come together and all to enjoy this house and property. We loved just being all together in a very peaceful neighborhood with a beautiful scenery to enjoy.

Tons of space for us all to spread out, 4 adults, 5 kids age 10-16. Great to have full kitchen for breakfast and lunch to save money. Close to hiking and mountain biking, nice to have hot tub to relax in afterwards. Perfect home base in Sedona!

The house was in an ideal location. Helped us avoid all the traffic during peak season into the city. It’s a short distance to multiple hikes and grocery store is only 10 minutes away. Having two kitchens was very helpful to get food ready for multiple people at one time. Kids really enjoyed the hot tub. There is plenty of room for each person to sleep as there are multiple beds available.

Yay! That is great to hear that the Desert rose retreat was just that - a perfect retreat getaway for you and your bachelorette trip. We are hoping we get the chance to host you again in the future!
My sisters and I needed a large home to accommodate our families for a trip to the canyons. Desert Rose Retreat was not only large enough for all 15 of us, but it was clean with plenty of supplies and activities thoughtfully provided. Our family appreciated having 2 different living areas that could be closed/accessed via an interior door to provide privacy to half the group when needed. We also liked that each area had a large dining table and kitchen with refrigerator, which was very helpful as we cooked many meals at the house. The hostesses were quick to respond to questions/concerns during our stay, and the booklet with house info and recommendations for dining and area attractions was nice too! We enjoyed our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Vivian Levarek
Some facts about us:
*We are sisters (by marriage) & business partners *We have the same birthday! *We both love to travel with our families *We love working from home
We want to start by saying THANK YOU for choosing our home as your place to relax, have fun, and make memories. Jamie and I are so excited to have the opportunity to host you and your friends/family. We have worked in the hospitality industry for a combination of 19+ years. We love interacting with people on a variety of levels. Both of us work full time from home, raise our littles, and love adventures. So we understand that when traveling, things should be convenient, accessible, and comfortable. We created this vacation home with that in mind which is why we have extra amenities that you may not find elsewhere. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Above all else, WELCOME and ENJOY.
Why they chose this property
The purchase of this ranch property was born out of our love of Sedona and the family we have here. As sisters by marriage and business partners, we wanted to find a vacation home that would provide the most comfortable, enjoyable stay for our families to come together. And we knew that if it brought us this much joy and connection, it would bring future guests the same.
What makes this property unique
Looking for a peaceful desert getaway? Check into our 5-bedroom ranch-style home, tucked away in Sedona’s Red Rocks. It’s tough to find convenience, accessibility, and comfort when traveling with a big group. So we designed Desert Rose Retreat to be a secluded escape from the city, with the modern comforts of home. Unwind in the private hot tub, play fetch in the pet-friendly yard, or recenter in the zen yoga room. The surrounding mountain scenery is definitely an added bonus.
