Center your Northern Arizona visit at this sanctuary. Waterfalls and gardens, it is a unique home, say; Woodstock meets Flagstaff (I was a child of the 1960-70’s), in a quiet neighborhood, steps from hiking/biking trails, minutes from downtown Flagstaff, and just off the road to Sedona. Raven's Grotto is a funky, rustic well-loved home. Far from being "new construction", the Grotto is clean, very cozy, and awaits your arrival for a relaxed and renewing stay.
At 7000' Flagstaff, has 4 seasons so the gardens and waterfall are seasonal.

The house was very cute and cozy. Very clean as well. My 2 dogs and I really enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed for our mini vacation. Christina was very friendly and helpful. Great vacation rental.
We came to Flagstaff for our 34th wedding anniversary and Raven’s Grotto was perfect! Its location was central to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and Sedona. The place was a quaint, quiet(except for the babbling brook to sleep to), eclectic-artistic decor and had everything we needed for our weeks stay. Thanks, Christina!

About the host
Hosted by Christina Norlin
Born in Chicago, I came to Flagstaff to attend NAU in 1976 and never left!
Why they chose this property
Mountain Dell is a rural county island just outside of Flagstaff. I moved here in 1992 and knew this was home for me and my daughter.
What makes this property unique
Raven's Grotto is special because it is the house I raised my daughter and grandson in so it has all the warmth of a real home.
