    Overall, this property has a lot going for it in terms of location and cleanliness. However, it feels quite expensive for a one-bedroom unit. Make sure to check the additional fees, such as cleaning and host fees, before booking - the final total nightly price was twice the listed price. I recently checked again, and that is still the case. I’m not sure why properties can’t list total price up front instead of significant “hidden” fees. Maybe we should blame companies like Expedia or VRBO for that. For the price, I’d expect more convenience, like not having to strip the beds or take out the trash, especially when heading out early to the mountain. During our stay in July, the futon was broken, so we didn’t use it, though the foldout couch worked, albeit not very comfortably. We visit this area multiple times a year, but the high pricing might deter us from booking here again.

    Beautiful view. The property was clean, well decorated and stocked. We only went for one night but the kids liked being out by the mountains. They also enjoyed the basketball hoop in the drive way. Only one draw back was the pull out downstairs is pretty uncomfortable, but overall it’s a nice property.

    The perfect place to stay when hitting the slopes!! This lovely guest house is very clean, quiet, has amazing views and is so close to snow bowl! We really enjoyed staying here as a family and only driving 10 minutes to skiing. It is very well stocked and has everything you need and more! Thank you for such a great stay!

    We had a fantastic time at The Mustard Seed. The location was perfect for our Snowbowl trip. You truly could not get much closer. After long days of skiing, the guest house was such a cozy retreat. It was clean, comfortable, and stocked with the basic kitchen supplies we needed. The bed was especially comfortable, which we really appreciated after being on the slopes all day.We loved the peaceful setting, beautiful views, and easy access to Snowbowl. The hosts were welcoming and very responsive, and both check in and check out were seamless.A few small things to note for future guests: the hand soap and shampoo were nearly empty and a bit watered down, but we had brought our own since we have run into that at other VRBOs before. There could also be a few more towel size options. While there is a washer and dryer in the bathroom, there was no detergent available to use with it (at least that we could find).One unique and memorable part of our stay was the two kitties on the property. The one with a purple collar, Honey, greeted us often and was very appreciative of some love and attention. She was incredibly sweet and having her around truly added charm and personality to the experience.We will absolutely plan to stay here again on our next trip to Snowbowl. Highly recommended!

    The house and view where amazing. Very cozy. The kids loved the basketball hoop and the wide open space to run and play catch. They fell in love with a little cat named Honey who would come over and check on us. Sweetest cat ever! Thank yoi for allowing us to stay. I have saved it for the next trip.

    This place was super cozy and such a gem! The view from morning to night was breathtaking. The whole place was clean and cozy. We love the welcome book with the things to do basket. Though the real star was the cat and her babies that greeted us every morning for pets. 10/10

    Absolutely over the moon with finding this gem of a VRBO and staying for three nights. Great design, well constructed and amazing views of Snowbowl. Sitting outside with the gas firepit after coming home from a stroll round the close enough, yet far enough away Flagstaff, sitting inside watching a movie, eating a meal at the generous servery/island bench etc etc, it all felt perfect there and again, great location and fantastic views. Didn’t want to leave to be honest. This little family has done a mighty job with creating this VRBO, they have priced themselves perfectly and I really hope they get the support from the VRBO community they clearly deserve for offering up such a crisp gem of a place. Wife and I are extremely satisfied and will very likely look to be returning for a quick getaway again in the future.

    Cute, cozy place, I'd stay here again. The only thing I wish it had an actual table, only has bar stools (4 of them only) so not everyone could eat at the same time, or 1-2 had to eat on the couch. Also, minor problem, but barely had some essentials like sugar, oil, body wash, extra trash bags or laundry supplies. Next time, I'd just know to be more prepared, otherwise great

    A wonderful guesthouse: cozy, well equipped, and boasting the amazing view you can see in the photos. Be aware that it's located in a neighborhood, but the houses are far apart and it still feels private. Sometimes I just hung out in this comfortable place, but it also served me as a perfect home base for exploring Arizona sights, such as the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona, Walnut Canyon, Montezuma Castle, and even farther ones like Horseshoe Bend and Monument Valley. Highly recommended!

    My wife and I booked this for four nights while in town to visit my son who lives in Flagstaff. Awesome little place, with a good view outside, a great place to sit out and have a cup of coffee in the morning. Hosts could not have been nicer or more welcoming, even when I wanted to ask too many dumb questions about Arizona (since we are from the Tennessee/Virginia area). Unit is clean, convenient, reasonably priced, roomy (at least for two), and honestly, I can't come up with a single negative thing to say about it, other than the kitchen faucet seems to work backwards, or maybe thats just me. We will absolutely stay here again when we visit. Why anyone would book a hotel room over this is beyond me. We stayed in Summer, so the whole skiing thing wasn't important to us, but I can see why it is convenient for skiers. The grass in back of the unit is really nice, I appreciate some nice grass, especially since you don't see much in Arizona. John has some fine grass. Grill is a nice touch, we used that, and it was great being able to wash up some laundry before our trip back. Overall, it exceeded expectations, and I honestly can't come up with a single criticism of it. Book it, you will not regret it.
