Flagstaff Home w/Back Deck - 5 Mi to Downtown

Reviews

• Best home I have rented

  5/5

  From start to finish the experience was awesome. Marilyn, our host, sent timely communications regarding checkin, the house was immaculately clean and the pictures online did not do the home justice. Location was amazing, the space in the house is amazing and the backyard was like a huge playground. We got a large amount of snow throughout the week and Marilyn checked in on us. The checkout process compared to previous rentals, was a breeze. Will absolutely be booking this house again in the future.

• Great snow trip

  5/5

  This is our second year staying at this property. We have three generations. The house is lovely, but what is particularly appealing it that it backs up to the National Forest. We could walk out the back door, and play in the snow. The host was very thoughtful, and communicated regularly.

• Wonderful Flagstaff home!

  5/5

  We had 7 of us, three generations, on this trip. We did this trip last year as well. You can step out the back door into the forest, and play in the snow. Our grandsons had a wonderful time. This year, we encountered real snow fall. It was so nice to sit inside with beautiful windows and watch the snow. Marilyn, the host, checked in on us, to be sure we had adequate supplies during the storm. Besides two televisions, the home has a wonderful collection of board games, puzzles, and card games. It was a wonderful weekend.

• Condition of house

  4/5

  The kitchen was well-stocked with the exception of no scissors. The towels smelled stale. The carpet is old and buckles, which makes it a tripping hazard. Floors were very creaky. Would have been nice to have a gas-log fire vs. a fake log. House was very roomy & comfortable.

• The owner is wonderful but there is no air conditioning

  4/5

  First of all, the manager/owner of this property is wonderful. She is responsive, helpful, and kind. The property is nice, for sure, it's just ... used. The carpets have a lot of staining and we just did not feel super comfortable being barefoot there, even after a shower. Also, the windows had some broken/missing screens but the owner said they will be fixed. This was critical because we were a warm group and without A/C in the house (which we did not realize in advance but the owner told us is "typical" in Flagstaff), we needed windows open at night. The four kids just couldn't get to sleep early enough because it was still so warm in the house at their normal bedtime. They ended up all sleeping downstairs on the floor, as the downstairs bed is very hard and the two who slept there on the first night decided that they would rather sleep on the floor. I certainly wish it would have been more clear on the listing that "THERE IS NO A/C IN THIS HOME", as we probably would have looked elsewhere. The kids all loved the backyard space.
