Parking includes a two-car garage and two-car driveway. Please note that street parking is prohibited during winter snow season (November 1–April 1).

**December-April bookings**WINTER WEATHER** We do not cancel or move reservations due to weather conditions outside of the standard 30-day policy. This includes there's not enough snow or there's too much snow - Thanks for your understanding. While making snowy memories in Flagstaff, please keep in mind that winter travel conditions can at times be treacherous in Northern Arizona. Our neighborhood is hilly and when there is snow, a 4WD/AWD vehicle or chains will be needed. We do have snow removal service at our listing, however, during big snowstorms they often aren't able to come clear the driveway and sidewalks until after the snow has finished falling and/or the roads into the neighborhood are plowed. We have snow shovels and ice melt in the garage for guests to use and we do our best to keep the driveway and walkways free of ice. We may not be able to guarantee a clear driveway and walkway during a heavy snowstorm as the county plows will come through the neighborhood on a random schedule. Please make sure to bring appropriate gloves, coats and vehicles for your winter adventures. We advise keeping an eye on the weather as your trip approaches. If Flagstaff is expecting a snowstorm during your visit, come prepared with plenty of provisions so you can stay in and enjoy the snowfall. We also advise against planning on traveling at night or early morning during heavy snowfall.

    If I could give this place 100 stars I would. The house and property were so well maintained, exactly as described, well stocked, and welcoming. We felt super cozy here. The owners were also awesome. Super responsive and flexible. We have stayed at dozens of vacation rentals, and this has been our favorite by far!

    This place is fabulous! Very dog friendly indeed! All the amenities are perfect & it is just the right distance away from Flagstaff & has that great mountain feel. Bob & Rachel are wonderful hosts & their communication response was very fast. If we come back to Flagstaff this will be the place for us to stay! Highly recommend!

    Wonderful experience throughout! Friendly, welcoming, and responsive communication. House was well-stocked with everything we needed, including plenty of towels, bedding, and cookware to host our family Thanksgiving. Great location, cozy and comfortable home, and the yard/hot tub were enjoyed by the kids, dog, and adults :)

    Absolutely loved this property and didn’t want to leave. It was perfect for us two and our two dogs. Huge and private backyard in a great neighborhood. The master bedroom and bathroom is humongous! It is supplied with everything you need and communication with Host was fast and easy. Just know that the house “settles.” Maybe because outdoor temps got to freezing after a 65 day but there was creaking in the middle of the night that scared us at first, but it IS Halloween season;) Ha, it wasn’t too drastic. We realized what it was and got used to it. Would definitely stay here again and again. Thanks Bob and Rachel.

    We enjoyed our time away at this Vrbo. It was very dog friendly with a fenced backyard and a separate area indoors that was gated off just for the dogs. We had a couple very minor issues come up but the host was very communicative and resolved them quickly for us. The home had all the things you would need for a stay and had so many thoughtful details to make you and your dogs comfortable. You can tell they care about their human guests and fur guests experience. The welcome handbook was very helpful and gave all info you could need in case of an emergency/how to guides for using the hot tub/pellet stove/fire table etc. in the home. We appreciated the labels on the lights through out to know what turned what feature on in the home. The skylights in the master bedroom bring in a LOT of light in the early morning so the eye masks provided were very helpful to block out that early morning sunlight. The hot tub was the MOST well maintained and clean spa I have experienced at any place we've stayed so far. That was incredible to enjoy after a day of hiking. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and we would book again if we were visiting that specific area again!

    We’ve stayed in several “dog friendly” rentals with our 70 pound dog and I’d describe some of them as “dog tolerant” at best, but this place was truly dog friendly! There are a nice sized fully enclosed back and front yards to play in, a doggie door and blankets to put in the furniture. Aside from being dog friendly, the house is comfortable, clean, well stocked for cooking and in a quiet neighborhood less than 20 mins from downtown Flagstaff. The location is ideal for day trips to Sedona, the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff, as well as some interesting small towns in the area. We loved star gazing from the hot tub (very clean!) and grilling in the back yard. The furniture was also very comfortable! We really enjoyed our stay and recommend this property!

    Our second visit. We brought our dog and the kids. Nice secured yards both front and back. Great location, cell reception was a little tough but otherwise a great stay! Very clean and all the amenities.

    We LOVED our stay here - the owners thought of everything little thing - labels on light switches, bowls for the dogs, an old-school Nintendo, lots of bathroom amenities, thorough guestbook with instructions for the hot tub and the fire pit, and heads-up about the sprinkler schedule. The master bedroom was huge and the couches and bed were nice and comfortable. The back and front yards are fenced and the dogs loved them. There was a nice forest trail nearby but the downtown restaurants were 15 minutes away and trails around the Snowbowl were about 35 minutes away, but other than that, it was perfect. Thank you to Bob and Rachel for being so accommodating!
