Perfect Getaway

We had a short but PERFECT stay in this quaint little cabin. We spent all day exploring GCNP and upon our return to the cabin we went out to sit in the backyard and had some mule deer lounging and snacking just FEET away. It was so lovely and peaceful. It was the perfect little getaway!!

Lovely cottage

We enjoyed the last 3 nights of our trip to Arizona in this lovely historic cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped and had many small and large appliances. We enjoyed sitting in the back yard in the mornings watching the birds. Comfortable beds too! Nice place to stay.

A well needed weekend away

When we first arrived we explored the place but then just sat outside watching all of the birds, it was lovely. The area is perfect. You feel like you are far from civilization but everything you may need is right around the corner. Thanks for the great stay!

Beautiful, peaceful

This place is a gem, tucked away at the edge of the town right up against a mountain. Coffee on the patio every morning with a beautiful view, yet close enough to town that my daughter could walk to Dunkin'! It has all the amenities we needed, enough space for all of us, and the owners were very nice and communicative. We will be hoping to stay here again the next time we visit the area.

Perfect For Our Snowboarding Trip

We came out for a family Snowboarding trip, and needed somewhere to stay. This cabin was perfect, it was clean, well stocked and comfortable. We felt right at home, and my kids loved the yard space. It also had a bathtub which was great for sore muscles after 2 days of boarding! Would definitely recommend this place. We will be back on our next trip!

This property was absolutely lovely—very clean, comfortable, and well cared for. The only challenge we experienced was with the internet, which was a bit spotty. My son is a Type 1 diabetic, and this caused some issues with his insulin delivery that relies on a stable connection. An upgrade to the internet service might be helpful for future guests who need reliable connectivity for medical or work purposes.That said, we truly enjoyed our stay and want to emphasize again how beautiful and spotless the property was.

Quaint cabin at the base of Mt. Elden, quiet location close to everything! Comfortable bed in the room facing south, great shower, we didn’t watch TV. We actually played with the triangle puzzle and solved it several different ways. We were obsessed! We also played Scrabble and had a lot of fun making up strange words. So much better than watching television! Best place to relax and enjoy quiet time. We sat outside in the backyard for coffee in the morning and in the front yard to watch stars at night. Five minute drive to the center of town, so many places to eat. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Places we liked while we were here: Grand Canyon Brewing & Distillery, Cornish Pasty, Late for The Train, Stella’s and of course-the OG Flag Brewery! Make sure to drive to Arizona Snowbowl park your car and go into the Agassiz lodge, you can take a small hike into the woods and back out and then enjoy a coffee at the lodge or ride the tram to the top of Agassiz Peak.

Perfect place for us!

I’ve been a VRBO host in Groom Creek for 15 years. When I needed a place to stay I saw this listing and it reminded me of our cabin that we rent out. I fell in love with the pictures and description of this cute cabin and property so I booked it for 3 nights while attending my son’s wedding.What a cute place! The inside was exactly as described, fully stocked kitchen, large bathroom, super comfy beds, plenty of room and full of charm.Our favorite place to hang out was definitely the back patio! So relaxing and very quiet.Great hiking trails for us to explore just a short jaunt from the cabin.Stefanie was the perfect host. Gave us complete privacy but was there when we had a couple of questions.We were so lucky to have found this perfect place for us.Thank you!Pat and Joey

Great place to stay for a ski weekend! 30 min drive to Snowbowl. So many games and activities for the kids (8 and 10), they didn’t once ask for tv! Kitchen was fully equipped and great since we cook all our meals even while traveling. We will absolutely stay here next time we come ski Snowbowl!

Wonderful old historic cabin with all the amenities and great location!

Our hosts were great and communicated everything we needed to know prior to the arrival. Especially the day of when the area got snow and she gave us the heads up. We used the location as our base camp to Page, Sedona, and Cottonwood. It was perfectly centrally located. There were great restaurants nearby. A Safeway and gas stations. It was so easy to pop out on 89 to get to our destinations. The cabin was perfect for us. Very quiet and had a spacious kitchen area with a full size fridge and little dining nook. The family room was also very large. Plenty of extra linens and blankets. The bathroom was also quite large. We slept in the back bedroom and never heard a sound, The bed was quite comfortable. We never ran out of hot water. Parking was fine but she did tell us to watch out for the tree :). You couldn't ask for better hosts and everything worked in the cabin. We have had some unfortunate experiences with cleanliness, shortage of hot water and lumpy saggy beds. However, this little cabin was top notch with no issues at all. We would stay there again in a heart beat. Thank you Andrew and Stefanie for sharing it with us.

About the host

Hosted by Stefanie Marquardt

Host profile image
Andrew has lived in Flagstaff since 1989 and owns his own business. Stefanie has lived in Flagstaff her whole life and is a 5th grade teacher at a nearby school. Andrew and Stefanie have enjoyed raising their 3 children in Flagstaff, they have 2 sons, a daughter, and one grandchild. The family loves many outdoor activities from running, hiking and climbing to skiing and fishing. If you need any help with recreation they are glad to help.

Why they chose this property

This property is in town yet feels like it is in the middle of the forest. The house was built in 1938 by missionaries and was later purchased by a Flagstaff cabinet maker Stuart Houston, hence the Houston House. Andrew and Stefanie bought the house in 2007 and restored it. The wood floors are the original hard wood floors.

What makes this property unique

The house is air conditioned and has plenty of space for a family of six. The yard sits on an acre in town. It is close to lots of recreation in town and you do not have to drive way out of town to feel like you are in the forest.
