A Fun and Unique Property

We six had plenty of room and a comfortable stay. The decor was amazing, a very fun surprise. Sadly, the weather was too cold to spend time in the gorgeous grounds. The location was good and we were able to explore Rockford.

Exactly As Promised

Everything about Sedona House is exactly as promised and more. The minute you walk in you feel at home. And anything you think that you need has already been provided for you (seriously, I forgot hair spray and as I looked on the bathroom mirror, a can of hairspray was in the reflection behind me!). We couldn’t get over how absolutely perfect the house was for us!

Great find in Rockford!

We needed a meeting point as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Anderson Japanese Gardens. This awesome listing fit the bill perfectly, and allow us to have a private place to retreat to before and after the event. Marlene was the most communicative host I’ve ever had and the property is in fantastic shape.
