Quiet and refreshing
What a lovely home and location...much closer to NAU than I expected which was a treat since we were there to visit my daughter who is a student there.
The house is extremely well stocked and just felt like home if only for a few days.

Hillside Cottage Stay - September 2024
My husband and I stayed at the Hillside Cottage for 4 nights in mid-September 2024. It was the most relaxing and comfortable stay we have had in a VRBO property. The owners were very attentive to our needs and making sure we were comfortable at their cottage. It's in a great location close to Flagstaff but out in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Our favorite spot was out on the front porch! The cottage was supplied with everything we could possibly need for our stay. We were even given a loaf of pumpkin bread which we enjoyed each evening as dessert.....it was delicious!! We would stay at the cottage again and would highly recommend it!

Perfect Flagstaff getaway
This property was better than we had anticipated. Great host communication with little notes to make us feel welcome and so we weren't confused about anything.
The house was very clean and had everything we needed and then some (my daughter especially liked the record player and albums). We loved the outdoors of this house too; lots of personality - the porch with a comfortable couch, a table to have coffee and snacks at, a hummingbird feeder. The two swing chairs were so nice to sit in to read, chat or just watch the quiet neighborhood. It was a short walk to the Sinclair part of the Urban Trail System, which was a bonus for sure (two of us are runners and we all went for a walk one morning). It is close to NAU/town, just a few miles really, but it felt far away. Can't say enough good things. Would definitely come back to this place; was a very relaxing few days.

Relaxing stay
We stayed here over a long weekend in Flagstaff. This cozy cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood close enough to downtown but away from all the tourists. We really enjoyed the breeze on the deck, and relaxed and dined there throughout our stay. The rooms are roomy and the beds are comfortable, Christina welcomed us with goodies in the kitchen and was down the street if we needed her. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place to stay for our aunts!
As a gift to our two aunts, we sent them on a trip to Arizona. They stayed the first two nights here. Our aunts are in their 70's and not well-travelled. They were nervous but really looking forward to a trip to the Grand Canyon. The train was late getting in on arrival night, but Christina picked them up and took them to the house. In the morning, she took them to the bus for the canyon tour and later that day to the car rental place. Our aunts said the house was very clean and in a nice location not far from where they needed to go. They thought the house was great and were extremely appreciative of Christina for getting their trip off to such a good start!

Our first VRBO stay
This was our first experience with a vacation house. We've always stayed in hotels or our camper. Going into it, I had checked all the reviews and the general location, and booked although still hesitant, not really knowing what we were getting into. We can say without a doubt, all the future stays will have big shoes to fill...really big! We loved this place. It's everything the listing and reviews said. Welcoming, warm, cozy, super clean, quiet, peaceful, excellent communication with the host, all and more! We enjoyed a rest day of playing dominoes on the porch, listening to and watching birds. We also enjoyed coming 'home' from long days.
To anyone looking for a place to stay in Flagstaff: If this place is available, book it! It's a calming place: not busy, not loud, a place you can unplug if you want, or go into the city, which is minutes away. A lovely respite or rest from traveling.

You will not want to leave! The views are only outdone by the kindness of the host :) The fresh baked chocolate chip pumpkin bread was such an amazing welcome, after a long drive.

Close to town but still very quiet in the woods feel. Yard was big enough to sled in and big hill was close. The wood burning fire place made a cozy spot for our family to spend a few days relaxing and enjoying each other.

Exactly whay we needed
My family and I went to Flagstaff for the North Pole Experience and we wanted to stay at a place that was just outside of downtown Flagstaff. We found the perfect place for us.
From the start, everything was great. The banana bread was great!! Everything was easy to understand and we had more than enough of everything. Our host thought of every possible need for any kind of family.
Even my wife was impressed.

This place was BEAUTIFUL
We were so happy to find a beautiful cozy cabin away from other properties that were stacked on each other. The hillside cottage had plenty of space outside with a long drive for my kids to play and enjoy the outdoors! It was close to town for easy errands and food, but far enough away to not realize you were close! The hosts were great! And provided fun options for me and my kids to do! We went to the lava caves which my kids LOVED! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

NAU Parents Weekend
We came up to visit our boys for NAU’s Family Weekend! This cabin was perfect for our needs! Two miles from campus but in a very quiet area. Full kitchen which allowed us to make meals and visit with the boys in a quieter environment but still close enough to town for shopping and meals out. Cabin was clean and everything was clearly labeled. We will stay here again!
