About this property

Trailhead is just minutes from downtown Flagstaff and Northern Arizona University. Our easy to find home is about 3 miles from the I-17, conveniently nestled between the I-40 and historic route 66, making trips to Snow Bowl, The Grand Canyon, or Sedona quick and easy.

We decided to name our vacation home “Trailhead”, because some of our best adventures were marked by a trailhead of some kind. As adventure enthusiasts, we hope that you consider beginning your next journey at Trailhead. And what a fantastic place to start! Fresh air. Blue skies. Pine trees. Any journey that starts here is one that starts off on the right foot.

Trailhead is a brand new (completed in December of 2017), one story, single family, detached home. The quaint, craftsman style neighborhood is built on a hill and our home stands midway, offering views of ponderosa pines. One of our favorites is the view from the kitchen. Although there are no stairs in the home, there are a few in the garage and at the front door. Trailhead has a spacious great room floorplan with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed with enough room to inflate a cot style twin mattress (also provided), the second bedroom has king bed, and the third room has a queen bed. Trailhead is a clean, cozy relaxing retreat with plenty of extras.

• King bed (copper spring hybrid)

Trailhead is perfect if you’re visiting the Grand Canyon, local breweries, or a student at NAU. You’ll be able to get your day off to a good start by preparing breakfast in our fully equipped kitchen and enjoying a cup of coffee on our large and inviting patio or you can take advantage of our exceptional location and discover the best places to eat in downtown. Either way, you win. Adventure awaits.

Best of the best VRBO stays

This was a Great house for our Texas family of 4 for a couple of days on our Arizona roadtrip. All 3 beds were super comfy, and the entire house is stocked with ANYTHING you could possibly need. THE OWNERS HAVE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING TO MAKE THE STAY HERE SEEMLESS. Bathrooms have all the things you might have forgot to pack, towels and linens are high quality, decor is simple farmhouse, no clutter. Game Center was well organized, dvds available with great classic movies, fireplace was easy to use. This place is so relaxing, and the location is perfect. We would rebook in a heartbeat! Thank you Marleen for the great communication!

Comfy Home

Loved how clean and cozy the home was. It had everything you needed. It was like your home away from home. We loved how quite and close to town it was. We are book marking this place for future trips up north.

Beautiful House, Nice Location

Trailhead is a beautiful house in a nice neighborhood and a great location. We were in Flagstaff to move my daughter into her dorm and it was really easy to get to and from campus without having to drive on Milton. I also liked being able to access 40 without going through town. The neighborhood was great for morning walks. The patio was perfect for eating outside. The house was very clean, organized and beautifully decorated, and the beds were really comfortable. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Great!

We had happy days The house is very clean, tidy, we feel comfortable, well received The first night we were late on the road and when we arrived we made noise and we understand why the neighbors were upset. We felt uncomfortable about a neighbor who was alert to what we were doing, and called the police, other neighbors in the park were very nice and told us that we were doing valid things, I think she is a person with little patience who was a little above us. We liked being in Flasgatff and in the cabin, the neighbor did make us very uncomfortable, we noticed some marked racism and intolerance towards us who really wanted to enjoy and take care of the cabin thank you!

Perfect Weekend to Run

The house was perfect for me & my best friends! We were in Flagstaff for a weekend of trail races! The location was convenient & we loved that there was a bath to soak our legs! The grill was just what we needed & we enjoyed our dinner, playing games & just hanging out in the backyard! We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Overwhelemd for once

I typically am underwhelmed with my rentals but this home met all my expectations and then some . You will not be disappointed as this home has everything. It’s extremely clean and larger than I expected. Location is near everything from downtown to grocery stores and lots of food options. We visited Sedona and the Grand Canyon and I felt this was the perfect middle ground. Host is very fast to respond to questions and made the experience even better. Don’t skip this one if you are planning a trip to Flagstaff!

Must stay

Trailhead has been the most comfortable home I’ve ever stayed in away from home. Maureen and Randy have thought of everything. There’s a notebook of everything you don’t even know you need. The house was super clean and very cozy. The beds, let’s just say I slept better in that bed than I do at my own house. If I am ever in Flagstaff again and this home is available I will be right here! Trust when I say you won’t regret staying here.

Finest in Flagstaff!

Our family of five stayed in this lovely home as a base for exploring the Grand Canyon and Sedona. We could not have asked for a more comfortable stay! The hosts have thought of everything… From a well stocked pantry to bathroom essentials to charging cables… it’s also extremely conveniently located to all the sights and hikes in northern Arizona. We will definitely be back and be telling our family and friends who plan to visit the area to stay in this home!

Beautiful, comfortable home in great location

This was easily the best VRBO experience our family has had! Randy and Marleen thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. The home was very clean and cozy. Loved the fireplace!! The location is also great. Close to downtown Flagstaff and an easy drive to the Grand Canyon and Arizona Snowbowl, as well as a very fun snow tubing park. Hope we are able to return!!

About the host

Hosted by Marleen Duren

We currently reside in Mesa, AZ, but Flagstaff has become our home away from home. For many years we hoped and dreamed of being able to have a place in Flagstaff that we could call our own. We feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to share our home with you.

Why they chose this property

This home is close to everything! Personally, we wanted to be close to excellent hiking trails as well as the hustle and bustle of downtown. Trailhead checks both of those boxes.
