Family retreat

I live in southern Arizona, but was having family from out of town for a birthday celebration and we were looking to escae the heat. This house is close to the highway, making day trips to Grand Canyon, Sedona, Petrified Forest, etc very easy. Despite the proximity to the highway, it is quiet. The house is beautiful and clean and the backyard is it's own oasis. There are plenty of extra linens, pillows, etc. I would stay here again. My only ask is some updating to cutlery and dishes. We cook most meals and knives are in rough shape. We are also coffee drinkers and there were only 6 or 7 coffee mugs for a house that sleeps 10+ and only 1 dish towel.

Great place for families

The house was lovely and was located just a short walk from a playground. The layout of the house was perfect and the rooms were big. We loved eating dinner in the back yard under the gazebo. Upon arrival, we were surprised to learn that there were no nuts of any kind allowed inside the house. This is something that should have been advertised in the listing. There were not enough cooking utensils and the pans were either not clean or were rusted and peeling. The host needs to update the kitchen items. Overall, we had a great time and this property was ideal for our family.

We had the best time staying here! The location is amazing. There is a sledding hill/park near by. We loved the fact that we could let our kids play in the snow in the backyard. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi! Plenty of space for families. We will definitely be back.

Our company leadership team used this home for our quarterly offsite meeting & found it to be a perfect space for us to focus. The only regret is that we did not have time to enjoy the beautiful back yard space (too much work ;).

Prefect for our family

We really enjoyed our stay here. As others have mentioned there really aren't enough towels, especially if you plan to use the hot tub. We had two under 2, a 10 year old and 8 adults. The park down the street was perfect for our group to celebrate the younger 2 having a birthday. Highly recommend this stay to anyone else.

Close to NAU

This was a beautiful property in a great location for the NAU grad events we were attending. Perfect size for our family of 11. Only drawback was no shower on main floor for my elderly parents who couldn’t navigate the stairs. My fault for not asking ahead of time. Large room upstairs was perfect for all of the kids. Would definitely stay there again without my parents.

About the host

Hosted by Ray Plato

Host profile image
I am virtually an Arizona native having lived in Arizona since the age of two. I am a real estate professional and investor working full time in the Arizona real estate industry since 2005. As the broker/owner of Viza Realty, I am a member of both the Scottsdale Association of Realtors and the Northern Arizona Association of Realtors. My family and I call Flagstaff our primary residence although we have lived for many, many years in Scottsdale and continue to have our secondary residence there. Flagstaff is a wonderful place and a very special place for my family. I am a graduate of Northern Arizona University where I studied business and earned my business degree back in 1992.
My wife is also in the real estate industry where we both specialize in both the Flagstaff and Scottsdale real estate markets where we have lived and have a vast knowledge of these areas.

Why they chose this property

This property is truly one of our favorites homes in the area. We really like it do to is extremely convenient location not only in town but its proximity to the hiking / biking trail and park. The resort style backyard complete with lighted gazebo, water feature, picnic bench with umbrella, green artificial grass, flowers, trees, adirondack chairs, hot tub and BBQ grill make it the ultimate for having a relaxing outdoor experience. The interior of the home is also very appealing and relaxing with enough room to comfortably fit a large family group.

What makes this property unique

The backyard and location adjoining Flagstaff Urban Trail system and very close to the Ponderosa Trails Park which is very popular in winter months for sledding activities.
