Historic Rock House w/Hot Tub and Game Room Downtown next to NAU

This charming, historic home is conveniently located in downtown Flagstaff, right next to scenic and lively NAU campus. Walk out the door to restaurants, shops, and access to trails. Not only is it centrally located in a very walkable area, but clean and comfortable with Southwest art and charm. This family-friendly retreat is complete with a game room and a spacious, private back yard with bistro lighting. Soak in the hot tub, relax by the fire pit, and enjoy the stars any time of the year.

The space
Enjoy the vibrant energy of the University and downtown from the comfort of our clean rock home, which is decorated with unique art and details, such as a handmade local pine log bed, Mexican wood furniture, Navajo weavings and local fine art. It is our family's Southwest haven and we know you'll love this home and all it and Flagstaff has to offer!

On the first floor, you’ll find a cozy king bedroom with a premium Sealy Posturepedic mattress, luxury bedding, and a full bathroom with tub/shower and all the amenities (shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion). Upstairs there are two bedrooms— one comfortable queen with a desk, and one with two twin beds with a pack and play available— and a second bathroom with a shower and essentials. In the basement is the game room with an arcade game, foosball, and an additional large-screen Roku TV, as well as a separate laundry area with washer/dryer.

In the spacious, private backyard you'll find a private 6-person hot tub available year-round, a patio with Adirondack chairs, and a seasonal fire pit and charcoal bbq (availability depends on fire restrictions), and a large area for relaxing, playing, or just hanging out. We provide lots of board games, books, and toys, too. Great for families with kids or adults looking for a nice place to stay.

We provide plenty of comfortable bedding, towels, shower essentials, and all the kitchen amenities including pantry supplies, snacks, and more, to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Our home is available for short getaways or longer stays, and is the perfect location when visiting NAU campus or downtown Flagstaff. It’s also a convenient launching point to the mountains, a little over 20 minutes from the chair lift at AZ Snowbowl (or just 14 minutes to the Basecamp parking lot where you can hop on a shuttle in winter to take you up the switchbacks). Endless trails are located within walking distance or a short drive from the house, too.

There is plenty to see and do right in Flagstaff, but if you're looking for adventure, the Grand Canyon is just a little over an hour away, and the beautiful red rocks of Sedona less than an hour. Oak Creek Canyon is only 30 minutes away, a scenic creek with lots of spots to explore. As Flagstaff locals, we know all the insider places to visit, explore, hike, dine, and shop, which we provide in our guidebook— and are always available for other recommendations or questions during your stay!

Other things to note
Self checkin: There is a lock code for accessing the front door to make check-in easy, so you can arrive anytime after check-in and come and go easily. Code will be sent a few days before your stay.

TVs: There are two Roku TVs at this home, with access to on-demand movies a few live channels for guests to enjoy.

Game Room: Enjoy the game room in the basement, with foosball table and Blitz (arcade game). We also provide lots of board games, which are located in the coffee table, children's games, and books for guests to enjoy.

Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need, including dishwasher, microwave, an automatic drip coffee maker with complimentary organic dark roast coffee, creamer, tea, basic pantry items (sugar, salt, pepper, spices, cooking oils), and a few extras (a starter supply— for longer stays over one week, you may need to supplement supplies).

Feel free to use the washer/dryer and complimentary laundry detergent pods during your stay.

As noted in the description, this home is unique in that it is located downtown and right next to NAU campus. Because of its prime location and proximity to campus and students, the neighborhood is lively and there may be noise in the area at times.

The hot tub is available 24 hours a day, year-round for guests to enjoy. We ask guests to treat the hot tub kindly and use with care. Always supervise children around the hot tub and use at your own risk. Please rinse off before use. More instructions for hot tub use are provided upon booking.

We have a strict NO parties or gatherings policy at our house. No guests are allowed beyond the number listed on the reservation. There is a $100 extra per person fee if you have beyond 6 with approval from hosts.

This is a NON-SMOKING home. No smoking on the property, inside or out. One pet may be accepted with an extra $150 fee, and must be included on your reservation at the time of booking. Pets may not be left unattended in the house or yard for more than two hours unless crated. We are happy to provide recommendations for pet sitters or pet daycare if you plan to be gone for an extended period. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet. Any additional cleaning needed or pet damage may result in an additional charge.

Heating/Cooling: The house stays comfortable in winter due to an efficient heating system, and space heaters are available in the bedrooms upstairs. There is no A/C, but ceiling fans and portable fans are provided if needed. The house stays fairly cool during summer due to the nature of the rock walls. Flagstaff temperatures are usually mild in summer.

Crib: if you are staying with an infant, there is a pack and play and sheet available in the upstairs twin bedroom closet. Baby gates are provided to keep a young one safe in a room but please note that they will not fully cover the stairs so please use caution if you are staying here with young children and watch them around the stairs. Toys, games, and books are available at the house for children and adults alike to enjoy!

Please use caution on the stairs and walkways. There are several steep steps to access both the front and back door, and it being an historic house there are some cracks in the walkways and patios as well as uneven pavement around the property. Snow and/or ice may be present in the winter months — please watch your step!

Please note that we are not responsible for any items left behind and there may be an additional $50 fee plus shipping if found items are sent back to guests to cover our housekeeper's time.

Thanks! Enjoy your stay!!

LOVED this home! Owners have amazing taste in art and decor, and attention to detail was appreciated (bottle of wine for travel-weary parents, snacks for hungry kids). Proximity to downtown and NAU can’t be beat. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops. This is our new “Happy Place” and we hope to return again soon. Thank you!

Clean house great location

We absolutely loved staying here! Perfectly located to all the great spots in Flagstaff. And the house is so fun with the game room. And it’s very clean! One thing to note is that the twin beds’ mattresses are very firm, so our kids ended up sharing the bigger bed in one of the extra rooms bc that mattress was more comfortable. But highly recommend and would stay there again!

Flagstaff stay for Conference

This property had an amazing location right beside NAU and the conference centre. Its close to all the restaurants and bars. But it also has a well stocked kitchen if you want to get groceries and make your own food. The owner was easy to communicate with and we had no problems with the reservation, check-in and checkout. I'd definitely do this again if there's a conference in town

Graduation Weekend

We had a very nice stay for Graduation Weekend. The place was easy to find, clean, and close to downtown. The beds were a little harder than some of my Family would have preferred but that was manageable. The upstairs got very cool at night but the master downstairs was quite cozy. We will definitely consider staying here again the next time we visit Flagstaff.

Nice property, Good location

Nice home with a good location. I’ve stayed quite a few places in downtown flagstaff and this one was one of the louder ones. Many of the windows also do not have window coverings. That was a bit uncomfortable given it is on such a busy street. The home is super clean and well stocked.

Ultimate Frisbee Weekend

We had an absolutely fantastic weekend at Lucy's VRBO in downtown Flagstaff for our local Ultimate Frisbee Tournament! The house was perfect for our group of six friends, with plenty of space and comfortable beds for everyone to sleep soundly after long days on the field. The hot tub was a total game-changer, soothing our sore muscles and giving us a relaxing spot to unwind. We loved the spacious outdoor area, where we could kick back, enjoy some brews from the nearby brewery, and just chill together in the evenings.The location couldn’t have been better—right in the heart of downtown Flagstaff, close to everything we needed and even within walking distance to other spots we wanted to check out. Lucy was an incredible host, anticipating our needs with thoughtful touches and responding quickly to any questions we had. The place was well-equipped, and her attention to detail made our stay seamless and stress-free. We’re already looking forward to booking again for next year’s tournament! Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Flagstaff.

Fantastic Home, Location & Hosts

This historic home far exceeded expectations! Perfectly located within walking distance of both NAU & downtown Flagstaff while still offering loads of charm and amenities. Lucy has stocked this home with every imaginable item needed & laid out in a well thought out manner. The kitchen has pantry staples, great cookware & dinnerware & appliances. Crisp & clean Bath & bed linens are aplenty with comfy options for cool or warm weather. Spread across 3 stories this cozy home is laid out to provide both comfy shared space as well as ample private spaces. While we initially picked this space for its proximity to NAU aquatic center, we fell in love with it for its character & access to the town while still providing a great home base near the university. Lucy was incredibly responsive & helpful through any and all inquiries. We look forward to returning to this property again soon!
