Exactly As Advertised

This was very well decorated and modern, and in a perfect location really close to NAU. We had a school choir group, and it was perfect. They had three floors, so the boys were upstairs, the girls were downstairs, and the chaperones were on the 2nd floor, which made supervision simple. Beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of space. The kids had a great time! I would only add that because there are three floors, and since neither of the two full kitchens are on the same floor as the dining room, you will be climbing up and down the stairs a lot. This was no problem for us, but if there are any accessibility concerns, this could be something to consider.

Our stay at Ponderosa cabin

We had an amazing stay at this cozy cabin in Flagstaff! The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet close enough to downtown for dining and shopping. We especially loved the fireplace and outdoor seating area.

Family Ski Get-away

This property suited our large family for a short stay. There are two sets of long stairs that were a challenge for a roaming toddler, but we were able to set up blockades. The house was perfectly clean except for some dirty dishes we pulled out to use. It would have been useful to have kleenex boxes in the bathrooms, but for the most part, the house was stocked with what we needed. The hottubs were clean and hot - a bonus. The one small issue we had was handled immediately and with a friendly attitude which was appreciated. Thanks!

Perfect for Families!

We had 12 guests in town for a wedding and the property was perfect for get togethers at the family table (had 15 for dinner) and game room in the evenings. Personal space was absolutely perfect when the family was not together. Easy walk to downtown Flagstaff. Great outdoor spaces and patios!

Family vacation (surprise elopement)

My husband and I were looking for a space to accommodate the closest members of our family for a weekend trip that was going to double as an elopement! 26 of us stayed comfortably in this house and loved every minute of it! We ended up having the ceremony on a trail that was less than a 5 minute walk away from the house and the reception dinner outside next to the fire pit. It was perfect! All of the kids (and some adults) couldn’t get enough of the game room and the 2 kitchens made it easy to cook for everyone and bake a cake without stepping on anyone’s toes or fighting for counter space. The house felt very clean upon arrival and the hosts were very helpful with any questions we had! My only suggestion would be some twinkle lights on the bottom floor since it gets dark so quickly but It was also no issue moving our celebration inside once the sun was completely down and it was time for the curfew. Overall it was an amazing place and I would definitely recommend booking a stay here!

Very Nice.

The Vrbo fixed nicely for our family of 25. The parking was tight (with trailers and Polaris) but we made it work. A few essentials were missing from the property (having a Vrbo in Phoenix myself) but the host promptly provided them to us. Also, a few minor flaws or repairs were needed which they were kind enough to resolve. It's a great place, close to stores and parks. We would book again!!!

Fun time with the family

The house is modern with new appliances and staffed with adequate cookware, nice towels in the bath and the beds are comfortable. The hot tub was divine. However think you should be aware of the floor plan. Know one can look at the drawings, but being there was different than I imagined. We like to cook. There was a full kitchen on the first floor and on the third floor. On the second floor is the dining room. (Granted there is a small table seating 6 on the first and third floors, but we were 14 people.) So the only table large enough to accommodate all of us was on the second floor. This meant bringing all of the food, the plates, silverware, napkins, glasses, etc. up or down a narrow stairway. And then back up or down to wash all of the items and to store the left overs in the fridge. One of the kids counted 15 steps between each level. Gets old doing this for 3 meals a day for a week. The property manager did respond promptly to texts. We used the clothes washer and dryer and they worked great. The kids loved the game room. There were lots of board games plus 3 table games to keep them amused. We saw 2 deer in the back yard and out front. Nice to wake up to that while having coffee. A previous review mentioned the interior door locks. Assume they were talking about the keypad door locks at the bottom of each staircase. We solved this problem by propping the 2 doors open with a chair. The decks were divine. Wanted to write more but out of space.

Wonderful House, Great Location.

Stayed here for a family vacation with 20 people. Set up allows for 3 zones with 2 kitchens that enabled togetherness while also providing space for relaxing. The 2 hot tubs were great for relaxing. The only issue we had with the house is that upon arrival we read the house rules and they required us to be inside by 8 or 9 depending on the day. There was also a noise meter outside that sent alerts if people were outside. Given the 2 hot tubs and a wonder all fire pit in the back yard, it would have been nice to be able to enjoy those amenities into the evenings. Not talking about noisy parties, but being able to sit around the fire and enjoy the cool evenings. If these quiet hours were disclosed prior to booking then we missed it completely. Overall a great trip, but could have been even better!

Flag family reunion

Each year our family gets together for a week for vacation. Historically it’s been the Outer Banks at Nags Head. This year we choose Flagstaff as our spot and used it as base camp for family to see Grand Canyon, Sedona, Cottonwood/ Jerome, floating the verde river, Winslow/ crater, etc. House worked great for our large party of adults and several walked down to the corner grocery for Starbucks in the am. Our group is all couples so the large number of bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms was excellent! The house is pretty new and other than 3 levels the group loved it. Downsides: 2 fridges but no ice makers and the floors were installed pretty poorly for a new house.

Gathering Treeview

Our stay at the Gathering Tree home in Flagstaff was amazing. The home had ample space for large family and friend gatherings and fun amenities such as 2 hot tubs, a fire pit, pool table, foosebsll, and video games, making it the perfect venue for our son’s graduation from NAU. An additional bonus is it’s location, conveniently located near downtown Flagstaff, the NAU campus, and close to several shops and restaurants. We definitely would stay here again, probably in 2 more years for our other son’s NAU graduation, and highly recommend this property to others looking for a fun Flagstaff getaway!

Amazing Cabin home for large group

We had the BEST time staying at The Ponderosa Gathering Tree property for our large group. We loved that each room has its own restroom w bath/shower. The large family table on the 2nd floor was so nice for us all to eat with each other. The house is very up to date and clean. The hot tubs were such a nice touch and had towels ready for you right next to them. Our host always responded immediately via text on any questions we had. The cabin-like home feels like your out in the woods but essentially your a quick drive from grocery stores in the event you forgot anything on your trip. There are hiking trails close by and downtown Flagstaff is a quick drive if you want to go shopping or bar hopping. We absolutely loved this place and can't wait to plan another trip here again.

Everything you need for a large group

We are a group of friends that have been traveling together with our children for the past nine years. We have stayed in many houses, and this by far was one of the best! The house easily accommodated all four families with children, and had plenty of amenities to keep them busy, including both hot tubs, and a perfectly stocked game room. The property is located right downtown and easy to access all of the downtown amenities. The property manager was super helpful, responding quickly to every inquiry. We look forward to visiting Flagstaff and this exceptional home again in the future.
