About this property

The Garden Oasis on the National Forest

Welcome to my home! Just renovated, super clean, in a quiet neighborhood 240' from the Sugarloaf trailhead, we invite you for serenity and renewal. Created by an artist (moi) and full of original art, this is a home of beauty. Enjoy the views while relaxing on the sofa, listening to the sound of running water, or book a massage with your neighbor Jacob. We offer easy trail access, fast internet, a complete kitchen, tea / coffee, a laundry area, guide books, free parking.. and peace and beauty.

This is a house of healing, full of light. There are lovely outdoor sitting areas, a place to lock your bike, and lots of flowers and greenery. Roll out the door and head 240' up the street to access the National Forest and miles and miles of hiking trails.

A highly respected Sedona massage therapist, Jacob Massey, lives in the studio on the side of the house and can be booked for private sessions. Please be aware that there is some noise overlap between the 2 spaces.

There's free parking in the carport. As to getting around the neighborhood it's best to walk as it's all of 3 blocks.

We purposely do not have a TV. It's about you time, not distractions.

This is a nice one-bedroom with a futon on the floor for a third guest. The Sugarloaf hike is at the end of the street! It would be good to know that there is a full time renter in the right side of the property.

Sedona Getaway

Fabulous first visit to Sedona. Peggy was extremely communicative, responsive and helpful. Apartment was immaculately clean. Location was perfect, away from touristy hustle and bustle, walking distance to wonderful trailhead. Breathtaking views and sunsets from the grounds. Neighbors and locals all lovely and generous with their time. We recommend Chocolatree and Tortas de Fuego restaurants and Vortex Cafe for smoothies. My 9 year daughter wanted to stay till June. Look forward to visiting again and staying here!

The location was great with sugar loaf trailhead only a half block away and red rock views once you step out the front door. The space and bed worked great for what my wife and I were looking for in a quick trip to Sedona with eating out for a lot of meals.

Beautiful place

This is a beautiful home in a great location in Sedona. It's at the base of a short trail that's a pretty easy hike for all levels of hikers. It's a short distance away from the tourist hub of Sedona but near stores and restaurants. This home is quiet, inside and out. And, the night sky is incredible.

Lovely place in a great location

Very relaxing place to stay over the holidays. It is very close to hiking trails and centrally located to other Sedona attractions. The view from the neighborhood is lovely! There is a tenant living on the side of the house, but they have a separate entrance.

A Peaceful Bungalow with Personality

Lovely, peaceful, very clean property, situated in an ideal location to explore Sedona and the surrounding desert. Loved sitting by the big stone fireplace listening to the murmur of the fountain. The check-in process was very easy and there were no issues with the accommodations.

Holiday getaway with family

Very clean property, and well supplied kitchen. We were able to prepare a nice dinner for us and our son's girlfriend and parents. Comfortable accommodations and very nice to have an RO filter for drinking water. Nearby were walking trails that were also well utilized. Conveniently located for our needs. Recommended!

Ideal location

Our 1 week stay in the Garden Oasis in mid-February was the ideal location for our exploration of the Sedona region. The bright and spacious common areas provided a quiet retreat and the kitchen was satisfactorily equipped for our cooking needs. Access to the Sugarloaf Trailhead was so convenient! The temperatures were somewhat cool, so we did not have the pleasure of lounging on the patio areas. Even though there is ample room on the bedroom floor, one amenity we would recommend is a luggage rack or 2. Thank you for your hospitality Peggy and your prompt reply to all our pre-arrival inquiries!

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Sands

Host profile image
Hello! I am an artist, meditator, workshop instructor and graphic designer ...and an active, outdoor person, who bikes everywhere, eats healthy, grows my own veggies, hikes, climbs, etc.
A professional artist, I paint and teach both drawing and painting, and I love to create. Most everything in and around the Garden Oasis I've made. My house is an ongoing art project and love affair. I hope you enjoy staying here as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Sedona is so very beautiful and so powerful. A walk out back in the canyon changes my world in a moment. Time stops – the beauty and majesty of the red rocks leave me in silence and awe. I hope while staying in my home you are also enveloped in this silence and enchanted beauty. "Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved."

Why they chose this property

My home has a meditators energy, and we work hard to maintain the silent and peace of the house ...and this magic is palatable when you walk in. It is very clean, relax to the sound of running water from the water feature.
Located in a very quiet neighborhood off the main streets, with almost no through traffic it has a old style neighborhood charm. The national forest is just up the street, yet downtown West Sedona; major supermarkets, (Safeway, Basha's, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, etc. health food and restaurants are within a 5 minute drive or 15-20 minute walk.. We offer a full kitchen, for easy meal preparation with a 5 stage reverse osmosis water filter.
Essentially, this is a place to find healing and a space to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Love, Silence, Peace
Miles and miles of trails start at the top of the street in the National Forest
Dark skies, stars horizon to horizon
Gardens
Massage therapist on site and available to be booked in advance
Water filter
Washer / Dryer
