Quaint, Cozy, feels like Grandmas Cabin

Great place to stay for a ski weekend! 30 min drive to Snowbowl. So many games and activities for the kids (8 and 10), they didn’t once ask for tv! Kitchen was fully equipped and great since we cook all our meals even while traveling. We will absolutely stay here next time we come ski Snowbowl!

Lovely cottage

We enjoyed the last 3 nights of our trip to Arizona in this lovely historic cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped and had many small and large appliances. We enjoyed sitting in the back yard in the mornings watching the birds. Comfortable beds too! Nice place to stay.

Beautiful, peaceful

This place is a gem, tucked away at the edge of the town right up against a mountain. Coffee on the patio every morning with a beautiful view, yet close enough to town that my daughter could walk to Dunkin'! It has all the amenities we needed, enough space for all of us, and the owners were very nice and communicative. We will be hoping to stay here again the next time we visit the area.

Perfect For Our Snowboarding Trip

We came out for a family Snowboarding trip, and needed somewhere to stay. This cabin was perfect, it was clean, well stocked and comfortable. We felt right at home, and my kids loved the yard space. It also had a bathtub which was great for sore muscles after 2 days of boarding! Would definitely recommend this place. We will be back on our next trip!

About the host

Hosted by Stefanie Marquardt

Host profile image
Andrew has lived in Flagstaff since 1989 and owns his own business, he also sells real estate on the side. Stefanie has lived in Flagstaff her whole life and is a 4th grade teacher at a nearby school. Andrew and Stefanie are enjoying raising their 3 children in Flagstaff, they have 2 sons and a daughter. The family loves many outdoor activities in from running, hiking and climbing to skiing and fishing. If you need any help with recreation they are glad to help.

Why they chose this property

This property is in town yet feels like it is in the middle of the forest. The house was built in 1938 by missionaries and was later purchased by a Flagstaff cabinet maker Stuart Houston, hence the Houston House. Andrew and Stefanie bought the house in 2007 and resorted it. The woods floors are the original hard wood floors.

What makes this property unique

The house is air conditioned and has plenty of space for a family of six. The yard sits on an acre in town. It is close to lots of recreation in town and you do not have to drive way out of town to feel like you are in the forest.
