Cottonwood, Arizona
Enjoy this private garden oasis walking distance from old town Cottonwood. Our green home features a private full kitchen and bath with a separate entrance. Step out of the french doors into a shady garden patio with a water feature. Fresh organic eggs, honey, and seasonal vegetables. Bring your kids!
The Space
Centrally located in the Verde Valley, our home offers a completely private apartment situated in beautiful flower and vegetable gardens. Its a half mile from the center of old town, and only 15 minutes from both Sedona and Jerome making it the perfect location to explore the valley from.
If you love hiking, swimming, horse back riding, ancient pueblos and cliff dwellings, or want to tour the wine country of northern Arizona, our place offers the ideal location.
Guest Access
When you stay with us you will have access to a very private lushly landscaped acre. Its fully fenced making it the perfect place to bring young children.
Your apartment has its own entrance and is situated away from the main house so you can come and go as you please.
Interaction with Guests
We generally like to leave our guests to enjoy their privacy but we love to meet new people and guide new comers to some of the wonders the Verde Valley has to offer.
The Neighborhood
Situated on a private dead end road we are secluded and yet only a half mile from wine tasting rooms, boutiques and many restaurants.
Getting around
Not much public transit here. You will need either a car or a horse, but if you are renting a vehicle its best to get something with a high clearance if you want to full access to the valley.
The casita is charming, comfortable, quiet, lovely room decor. King bed very comfortable. Hosts were more than kind. Very convenient to all area attractions. Minimalist kitchen. Adequate for us, but not for serious cooking ( no dishwasher, limited dishware) Biggest disappointment was that the lovely, beautiful rear garden ( what attracted us) was unusable due to biting insects!! Instant, voracious infestation. Fogging the area no help at all. Insects infest garden July to October ( monsoons)according to hosts. Do not plan on outside activities those months. Nice little place, but basic and seasonally buggy.
I feel that I was misled about the location. It definitely was not withing walking distance of Old Town Cottonwood. The rental itself was fine, but the surroundings on the outside were unkept, isolated and somewhat scary to us. I did not feel comfortable being outside at all.
Super easy to communicate with the owner, very clean.
The place was nice and quiet but a little too jerry-rigged for our liking. (bedroom cooler, duct tape, bed too big for room, no place to lay clothes,etc. in both bedroom and bathroom, kitchen faucet very loose, patio doors hard to operate, tp way way way thin, etc.) Joshua and Carol were very nice and anxious to please and their dog Becky was an absolute sweetheart. If they'd let me I would take her home in a heartbeat.
Such a lovely place! The Capy family was very warm, friendly and welcoming. We very much enjoyed the Cottonwood area. Highly recommend downtown Cottonwood. Great places to relax, hike, wine tasting, and shop. Alcantara winery was beautiful. Head over to Jerome and enjoy the history of the town and the ghosts who have made an appearance or two.
Carol is friendly and welcoming! Fresh eggs for breakfast and a wonderful garden. Property is beautiful and is truly an oasis.
Great hosts and a fun stay for my wife and I. Also great for our dog.
We really enjoyed our stay at Secret Garden. Josh was very helpful and always available. We loved the large space for our dog and comfortable accommodations. Very quiet - we will definitely stay there again. Mary Ann and Charlie.
Very clean and well furnished.
Joshua and Kara were wonderful hosts and we had a great time staying on their beautiful property. They have a really special and unique place. Looking forward to visiting again the future! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!
We appreciate the very detailed directions to the property. Best to arrive before dark as I can imagine it would be difficult to find at night. Loved the patio. The casita was well equipped and comfortable. The host was very pleasant and easy to communicate with.
Property was well stocked and comfortable. The outdoor area was a bit overgrown. New grill that worked great comfortable bed to sleep in. Within a short drive to many different activities.
Perfect distance from sedona, such kind hosts, if you’re looking for a rustic nature filled stay this is your place
This was the perfect property for me to stay at during my conference in Sedona, easy drive back and forth. The property is quiet and charming with the secluded patio in back. Good amenities and friendly and informative hosts. Enjoy!
Thank you for your hospitality!
The space was very clean and tidy and had unique character. The kitchen area was well-equipped and the owner was very kind and communicative. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
Very well stocked for a VRBO and clean
My husband & I stayed here for a long weekend while visiting family. The location is a bit hard to find the first time, especially at night. But once you get there it is a cute place with enough space to relax. Furniture was comfortable. Next time we’d like to stay when the weather is a little warmer to enjoy the very cool garden. Will definitely look to book this place again.
Thank you to our wonderful hosts! This space is so relaxing and the perfect jumping point to many adventures in the Cottonwood area. Our stay at the Secret Garden was not just cozy for us and our dogs, but the amenities were generous and the setting felt like a trip around the world. Intriguing elements were included in every room and each told a story of the international travels made by loved ones. The peaceful atmosphere continues into the private courtyard where a fountain provides a calm space to relax beneath the pomegranate and ivy canopy. Beautiful stay, can’t wait to return!
We felt very comfortable and relaxed. The location was secluded, quite, and safe. We were busy every day during our stay and were able to relax and sleep very well at night.
Nice little bungalow. Feels like being in the country even though it's just a few blocks from town. Joshua was available immediately whenever we needed anything.
Very cozy place. We loved it!
This VRBO served us so well. It was cozy, clean, & comfortable having everything we needed for our stay. Joshua was quite responsive when needed, while always respecting our privacy as well. We would happily stay here again if & when we return to Cottonwood. Thank you, Joshua!
We enjoyed our stay, however, though I checked with the owner, the area is not completely fenced for a dog. There is a great dog park a couple of miles away! Very cute inside and comfortable. Everything one needs for simple cooking. The shower is great! The outside patio and garden areas need some work and clean up. It is a good location, a unique oasis!
tucked away and quiet.
We love staying here.
With the price of vacation rentals in Sedona being so high this is a great way to stay there for a much lower cost. And almost everything in the house is quirky and probably thrifted but it makes the stay unique. The house was clean but I was very disappointed that the outdoor spaces were not nearly as kept and beautiful as the pictures indicated. Everything was overgrown and dirty. There definitely wasn’t any garden to pick fresh produce from or fresh eggs for breakfast. The owner should probably update his listing to reflect that.
