Stargazer’s Oasis with Stunning Views from Four Balconies

Treat yourself to an unforgettable vacation, staying in one of the best locations in the incredible dark sky city of Sedona. Our home offers amazing hiking trails right out your front door - skip the long lines at the more popular trails in the city, and enjoy picturesque hikes with incredible views, some just 10-15 minutes away on foot.

Experience peaceful, relaxing countryside living in Sedona. Our home is a newer stucco construction, tastefully decorated with Southwest decor from room to room. There are beautiful red rock views from the house from four balconies, as well as the greenery of the surrounding high desert forest. Most importantly, our home is just a few steps to beautiful Oak Creek's Crescent Moon Ranch, home of Red Rock Crossing, and several wonderful hiking trails and swimming holes. Every season here is STUNNING! Red Rock Crossing is one of the most photographed sites in all of Arizona, and you will be able to enjoy its winding trails on a daily basis. If you'd rather hang out in the city for the day, our home is also a very short drive away to the heart of Sedona with all that it has to offer. Local grocery stores (including many organic and gluten free options), a variety of restaurants, boutiques, shops, art galleries and cultural entertainment venues are just a few minutes drive away.

This comfortable, well equipped 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is located in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, on the outskirts of the city of Sedona. Wake up rested and refreshed on very comfortable beds. There is one king bed on the lower level, with its own armoire and 32 inch TV with streaming on Youtube TV, offering 85 of the most popular cable channels, sports and local stations as well as Netflix and Prime Video. There are two queen sized beds upstairs. One upstairs bedroom has a large walk-in closet and a personal balcony with panoramic views of Cathedral Rock and Brins Mesa. Stargazing from this balcony is breathtaking. There are full bathrooms on each floor, completely stocked with towels and a first aid kit.

Sip your favorite beverage on one of our four balconies and relax as you watch for wildlife and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the area. Our outdoor spaces are equipped with seating up to six, and include nice areas to eat dinner or socialize with friends.

The flagstone patio in the backyard looks out to Pyramid Rock and has a Weber barbecue grill with seating for outdoor dining.

The home is also equipped with a large capacity washer and dryer and a fully stocked kitchen including everything you need to cook that special meal - a gas oven, cooking utensils, crockpot, blender and a few extra surprises like granola bars, coffee and tea to enjoy in our sunny kitchen. There is an oak kitchen table which can be expanded for seating up to six.

The inviting rustic yet modern living room is equipped with leather couches, a reclining lounge chair, oak furniture and a 50 inch Fire TV offering YouTube TV for streaming your favorite shows. Since our home is in a valley, some may find that there can be spotty cell phone reception, therefor we provide a landline for free local and long distance calls within the US. Wi Fi is available for your internet needs.

Our home is located next to a state park, and it is likely that you will observe occasional sightings of the local wildlife. Guests have seen a variety of animals, including javelina, coyotes, bobcats, deer, rabbits and a multitude of birds. In fact, many refer to our home as a virtual bird sanctuary when sitting on the balconies relaxing to the sound of the bird songs. At night you will enjoy a dark and quiet setting, as Sedona has been recognized as an international dark sky city. Many of our guests comment that our sky is the best they've ever encountered when it comes to stargazing.

One of the greatest attractions to this home is the ability to walk just 10 minutes to Red Rock Crossing at Crescent Moon Ranch State Park with its stunning view of Cathedral Rock. This is one of the best locations in Sedona, hidden away in a valley right next to your accomodations. Early morning and evening walks along Oak Creek can hardly be described - your senses will be overcome by the beauty of the Cathedral Rock views, the smells of the lush vegetation and the sounds of the running creek. Access to hiking, biking and swimming are available by stepping right out the front door.

The Verde Valley is a short drive from our home, with many sites worthy of visiting including the Verde River for kayaking, Jerome mining and ghost town, Verde river railway, Montezuma’s Castle and much more.

If you wish to be adventurous, balloon rides, helicopter excursions and pink jeep tours await you only a few minutes away.

We scrupulously clean our home using CDC guidelines and recommended cleaning solutions.

Security camera located in driveway.

Beautiful home in Sedoba
This property is in a small neighborhood with easy access to all Sedona has to offer. Very well stocked with basic amenities (toilet paper, paper towels, coffee with filters, variety of sweeteners) extremely clean, easy and fast communication with owners. No issues. Would definitely stay here again.

Great locale and wonderful hosts. You cannot find a place that is quieter or more imbedded with local nature than this property. Brenda and Mike are great hosts and the supplemental information about Sedona was invaluable. Put this one at the top of your list as a great place to stay and explore. We loved it.

Just what we wanted
Our party of four female friends had visited Sedona many times to hike and cook together, but this was our first time to stay at the Stargazer's Oasis. It certainly will not be our last, however. It was the perfect setting for us: quiet, beautiful, comfortable. It had the feel of a luxury home as opposed to a rental. We enjoyed many meals outside on the deck where we viewed quail, rabbits, sunsets, and lots of stars. Hearing the coyotes at night was a thrill. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils for our culinary adventures. The host was extremely helpful. Coupled with the magic of hiking near Sedona, we were delighted with our lodging, and we plan to return to the Stargazer's Oasis on our next trip to Red Rock Country. Many thanks for the wonderful vacation.

Perfection in Beautiful Sedona
Brenda’s house exceeded our expectations in every way! The location is ideal: close to many trails but not in the hustle bustle of town, and beautiful views from the many decks and screened-in porch. The house is lovely, clean and very well stocked, we had everything we needed while we were there. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place
We wanted to have a home so that we could entertain our small family who live in Sedona (4 people total.) This house was a dream. It is probably the best appointed VRBO I've ever stayed at - and the outside space (4 balconies) are remarkable for comfort, views, and relaxing. The location is stellar - near Crescent Moon Ranch, and easily accessible to all that Sedona offers beyond the lovely neighborhood where the house is situated. We hope to stay here again!

Cathedral Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our month in this comfortable, well located home. Our hosts were attentive and responded promptly to any inquiries. The home was impeccably clean and the multiple balconies were great spaces to enjoy an evening glass of wine. Sedona has been our go-to getaway in the past and this experience helped to reinforce our love of the area.

Perfect location - not in the middle of things and not very far from the beauty of Sedona. This is a great find. We liked everything about our stay here. After days of hiking the biggest decision was which deck to sit out on to enjoy the absolutely incredible views. By the way, that also includes the night skies. Would stay here again without reservation. Great hosts as well.

Quiet and beautiful
I stayed with two other single woman friends from Montana. We all loved the home. The decor is beautiful. There are nice views of Cathedral Rock from two of the upstairs decks off of the bedrooms. It was a bit chilly when we stayed, the first week of March, but it would be great to hang out on the decks or screened in porch in warmer weather. The hostess, Brenda was very welcoming and available. We did cook breakfast in the kitchen and it had everything we needed to cook (oils and spices too). We brought our own food of course.

Our group enjoyed our time in Sedona. The hike begins just steps from the door of this lovely home. The hosts were wonderful and informative. They keep a clean and comfortable home...not just a rental. Their home is Well stocked and thought through. Every room has a balcony to enjoy the outdoors, a glass of wine and the views. We already want to plan our next get away here.

Great house, great location, great views! We really enjoyed our stay here, especially sitting out on the various decks and drinking coffee in the mornings and watching the local wildlife. We came here on a mountain biking trip and it was awesome that we could ride directly from the house to a couple of different trails. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

Like a dream
We had an amazing time in Sedona. Brenda and Michael’s home is beautiful, has all you need and the location is beyond what we imagined. Views all around, Oak Creek within walking distance, the downtown Sedona a stone’s throw away, yet you live in a forest with the sounds of birds, coyotes and crickets. The stars at night are incredible. Sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous. You have a lot of hiking and area information in the house, and Brenda was very quick to answer all our questions and give us detailed information about Sedona. Our stay was way too short, and it felt like we were in a dream. Sedona was beyond our imagination. Thank you Brenda and Michael for an unforgettable stay, we will come back for sure!

Great House -- Great Location
We had a wonderful time at this terrific property. The views from the house were fantastic. The trailheads near the house offered hikes of varied difficulties with all having more great views. Best of all, we didn't have to fight for limited trailhead parking as is common in Sedona. The house has comfortable, well equipped, spaces for sitting, sleeping, eating and playing games. The hosts are friendly and accommodating.
