Great spot close to town and hiking trails

The property worked very well for our family and it was great that there was a network of hiking trails you could access from the backyard! Just a quick drive to downtown to get some delicious food or beers from the great breweries. Would def stay here again

Beautiful home

We loved our 3 nights at this home while visiting the Grand Canyon, Sedona for golf and Page. Wish we could have stayed longer. Weather was cold but we made the best of it. Beautiful home, well stocked, clean, quiet neighborhood, easy communication with owner. Loved the basement area with pool table and TV.

Perfect experience

Having 2 senior citizens, paraplegic wife and three young teens, I was not looking forward to vacation time. This great home had the perfect layout for everyone. We were kept well informed of events during the week like trash day and recycle day. Beds were comfortable , bathrooms were easily accessible with the main bathroom door being ADA compliant for wheelchair access. We will definitely request to stay here until n our next visit.

Vacation Lodge

Mark's home is truly lovely. We had a wonderful time. The home is close to the slopes, to church, and to shopping. We enjoyed watching bowl games and movies with the kiddos, and walking the trails. Nana got to stay in the bunk beds with the children. She loved it! We recommend Mark's home for families that enjoy being together. Thank you, Mark, for everything.

Everything you need!!!

They supplied so much that is hard to list. The grandkids truly enjoyed the games and everyone had wonderful evenings around the gas fire table. Location was perfect for hiking and visiting National Parks during the day. The beds were some of the most comfortable of any of the vacation homes we have rented. We will rent in the future.

Great location for Grand Canyon and Sedona

Quiet neighborhood in suburban Flagstaff. The house is very spacious, I mean well bigger than expected with 3 levels and 2 decks. The litchen is very well equipped. There were 7 of us and we never run out of dishes etc. 2 half baths are very conveniently located on the main and the lower level. The lower level has a bar, a space with a pool table, and a TV theater. The ouside is quiet and quite private. The owner was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend for bigger groups or families.

Book this house, you will not be disappointed!

I hesitate to start out w/ “cleanliness” bc often that means the actual property isn’t great but at least it’s clean! Well that is not the case here, but I couldn’t get over how clean EVERYTHING was:couches, throws, bathrooms etc! We spent the majority of our time in the game Room which was cozy, and the great thing about the layout of the house is that if someone wants to go to bed early they can go to the third-floor and they will not hear anything going on in the TV room. The house is set up so that you have absolutely everything you need in every room. We would love to return in the future!

Well Appointed Home

We spent 10 days in Flagstaff with family and friends. Mark's home is set up very well with three bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom on the main floor, plus a rec room with couch and entertainment system downstairs. There were two half baths (one on the main floor and one downstairs) plus two full baths (one upstairs shared between the rooms and the master bathroom upstairs off the master bedroom). The house is three levels and allows for everyone to have their own space. The beds were comfortable overall, and extra bedding/blankets, as well as towels were available. The kitchen had sufficient pots/pans, dishes and flatware. We especially appreciated the HVAC system and was able to keep the home at a comfortable temperature by either turning the a/c or heat on or opening windows as needed to also cool the house. Fans were available too and utilized to help keep air moving throughout the house. We enjoyed playing pool and corn hole which were provided downstairs. We did not take advantage of the deck spaces, but the backyard space is lovely and would be great for hosting barbecues or just sitting around the deck visiting. The neighborhood is lovely and the neighbors were friendly. I expected we would be out further in the "country" based on the photos, but it is located in a cozy neighborhood which is easily accessible. We were able to walk the trail behind the house. The house is also conveniently located near a variety of shopping and entertainment venues.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Engelman

Host profile image
I reside in Phoenix and have enjoyed many weekend trips to Flagstaff over the years. I bought this home and furnished it specifically to share with you! I have had wonderful experiences myself with vacation home rentals so it was a logical and exciting next step to get my own home listed as well!

Why they chose this property

I chose Flagstaff because it is an awesome town on its own with a unique history, great restaurants and shopping, but also because its centrally located to other major attractions such as the Grand Canyon and Sedona. With such a short drive to get there from Phoenix (under 2 hours), Flagstaff offers a welcome escape from the summer heat for 'Valley' residents like me. Flagstaff has many cultural, recreational, and sight-seeing attractions of its own as well, and with 4 distinct seasons it is a desirable destination any time of year. In winter, the snow and surrounding mountains provide many opportunities for fun including downhill and cross country skiing, sledding, tubing, etc. In autumn, temperatures cool and the foliage in the surrounding forests turns colorful for unforgettable hiking and scenic touring. Spring and summer temperatures make ideal conditions for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and sightseeing. Not to mention strolling the delightful downtown area or sitting at a sidewalk cafe and people-watching.

What makes this property unique

My home in Flagstaff has several unique benefits over other vacation rentals. Its size, number of bathrooms, and number of private sleeping quarters makes it ideal for larger groups. In addition, the layout of the home over three stories with two separate decks in the back, a huge rec room in the basement and living room/dining room on the main floor, makes it easy for people to either gather together, or spread out into their own separate space if desired. The rec room with its 70 inch TV, surround sound system, billiard table, and convenient bathroom is a great area for socializing or relaxation. We love to cook and entertain so naturally the kitchen and wet bar are fully stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, and quality cookware for large groups. Furnishings and décor are all brand new throughout, with a fun mix of city and country styles. The back gate allows easy access to the large green space behind the house which provides a fun area for the kids to play (while you watch them from the deck), or for you to take a stroll with your dog. The trail running through this area leads directly to the Mt. Elden trail system, providing a great opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy some hiking or mountain biking. Treks to downtown are also easy and quick by car (just 6 minutes!) or safely by bike via the Flagstaff Urban Trail System bike paths.
