We had the best stay at Forest Retreat! It was nice to be off the beaten path a little, but still close to uptown, shopping, excursions, and restaurants. The house was extremely clean and well stocked with all the essentials. Perfect for our trip. Communication was excellent and all the suggestions in the house binder for hikes, things to do, and places to eat were appreciated. Would definitely recommend this cozy retreat!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re truly glad you had such a great stay at Forest Retreat. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful setting while still being close to everything Sedona has to offer.
We really appreciate your kind words about the cleanliness, the home’s amenities, and our communication. It means a lot that you found the house binder helpful for planning your adventures. That’s exactly what we hope for.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime for another cozy getaway!
Stayed for three weeks in May 2026. My husband worked remotely during this period and didn't have any issues with the internet access. We also were able to stream all of our services at the same time. The property is off the road that leads to the Red Rock State Park. It is a little bit back there, so it was very enjoyable to be far from the road noise and near to so many trails. There are a number of horse trails behind the house and we did a number of hikes just from the back yard. We also grilled out a couple of times on the gas grill.The set up of the house itself worked very well for the two of us and my dad who visited a couple of times. Even with my husband having 4am work meetings right next door to where my dad was sleeping. The property management was very responsive and responded quickly to my inquiries. Definitely enjoyed our time at this property and would consider staying here again.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such an enjoyable three-week stay and that the home worked well for both relaxing and remote work. It’s wonderful to know the internet connection, peaceful location, and nearby trails helped make your time here comfortable and memorable.
We love that you were able to take advantage of the hiking trails right from the backyard, enjoy the quiet surroundings, and even grill out during your stay. It also means a lot to hear that the layout of the home worked well for your family visits and early work meetings.
Thank you as well for your kind words about our responsiveness. We truly enjoyed hosting you and would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime for another Sedona getaway! 🌵
A traditional farmhouse with all the things you need and newer appliances. A lot of natural light with many windows along with pull down shades for extra privacy. The home is very spacious inside and sits on a large private property. The managers have fantastic communication and are very helpful. We had a great stay and easy access to the main roads. Not knowing there will be gravel by the home, we're glad we rented an SUV. You'll want a vehicle that can explore the cities and get to your trailheads.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the natural light, spacious layout, and thoughtful touches throughout the farmhouse. It’s wonderful to know that the home had everything you needed and that communication felt smooth and helpful throughout your stay. Great tip about the SUV too—having the right vehicle definitely makes exploring the area and hitting those trailheads a breeze. We’re so happy you had a great visit and would love to welcome you back anytime!
Everything with the house was perfect. Most of our plans were cancelled because of the rain. But the house, being as warm and cozy as it was, made the vacation enjoyable. Staying in seemed to be perfectly fine with everybody.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m really glad the house gave you a cozy place to settle in, especially with the rainy weather getting in the way of your plans. Sometimes those quiet, stay-in moments end up being the sweetest part of a trip, and I’m happy the space helped make that happen for you all.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime and hopefully with a little more sunshine next round!
