High Desert Oasis! Cozy house in Cottonwood near Sedona, with Deck & Privacy
High Desert Oasis! Beautiful home on the top of a hill nestled in the middle of pine trees. Surrounded by ponderosas and other pines trees, a perfect spot for the hot summer days in Arizona, with nice shaded areas, keeping the house cool and comfortable. Your peaceful home away from home. The location is optimum. We are minutes from everything from grocery shops to restaurants to hikes and to varied activities. Old town Cottonwood has so much to offer, from shopping to restaurants and many wine tastings. Clarkdale with Tuzigoot National Monument, Verde Canyon Railroad, and the Arizona Copper Art Museum is an unforgettable place and 10 minutes away. Sedona is only 15 minutes away with over 400 hiking trails. We are only 20 miles from Slide Rock State Park and the beautiful hikes of Oak Creek Canyon Jerome, one day called a ghost town, today is a quaint artistic town full of great wineries, and it is only 6 miles away. We are only 20 minutes from Camp Verde and their great antique and cowboy shops (and the best Italian restaurant in the area), Montezuma well and Montezuma Castle National Monuments, and Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Page Springs, 20 minutes away, has great wineries, tasting rooms and Up the Creek Restaurant, one of our favorites. Take a day trip to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Petrified Forrest and so much more!
Our home is 1200 square feet with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 carports. Open concept living-dinning-kitchen with built-in speakers for bluetooth is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, freezer, double oven/range, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes and utensils, and everything else you can dream to need in your kitchen. Master bedroom with king-size bed and a large TV streaming channels through Roku, and DVD player. A collection of books about the area and other places in Arizona are located between the master bedroom and bathroom. The master bathroom has beautiful tiles reminiscent of the surrounding red rocks, generous corner shower and ample storage. The second bedroom has a full-size bed and it is adjacent to a full bath with jetted tub. Cozy and homey with wood floors and all of the tile in the house is the color of the local red rocks. The living room and bedrooms have original wood flooring. Separate laundry room has a washer, dryer, ironing board and iron, and cleaning supplies. The house has filtered water system with a water softener to compensate for the extremely hard water of the desert. The home is quite comfortable year-round with swamp cooler, AC, and baseboard heat. Desert landscaped yard with ponderosa pines, a large gazebo with lounging chairs for enjoying the outdoors and the birds around the many trees. A beautiful deck with a full-size grill and patio table (seats 6) for the morning sun, complete with lots of hummingbirds and views of the Mingus mountain.

The appliances were all in good working condition, master bed comfortable. Kitchen had everything required for meals. Liked the location in quiet neighborhood and very private. Loved the hummingbirds and various bird visitors to property every day. Owners were great and available to answer any questions about Cottonwood, etc.
No problems with house during our 3 month stay.

Very comfortable, open floor plan. Worked well for us. Would definitely stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dora's house in Cottonwood. The house is located in a very nice quiet neighborhood. Dora was very responsive and provided many recommendations for hiking, dining and other activities in Cottonwood. The property is about 4 miles from Dead Horse Ranch State Park that has great hiking/biking trails and even lagoons for fishing. Sedona is a short 20 minute drive from the house. We particularly enjoyed visiting Jerome, AZ and it's museums that is a few miles from the house. The house is also very close to shopping/groceries. It was a very nice stay and I highly recommend Dora's house for a nice relaxing stay. And don't forget to feed the hummingbirds!
Great location, beautiful mountain views from the deck. The house is stocked with everything you might need. Dora is a very good host, responds right away to questions. I would stay there again.
This property is absolutely gorgeous, quiet, clean, spacious, and a calming place. My friend and I stayed here for about a month, and have only the best things to say and memories to share. The property was very clean and has everything you need. Dora was also very helpful since the beginning, available at all times whenever I had any questions. Totally recommend it.
We will be back!
Dora was an excellent host, always keeping in touch and responding promptly to inquiries. The location is in a neighborhood. We planned to hike and bicycle while there. The location is central to many places including Sedona, Camp Verde, Jerome, Prescott, and gazillions of trails. The house is well equipped for cooking, although we did very little, but when we did want something it was there. Thank you Dora!
The Verde Valley/Cottonwood area is an ideal location for experiencing the wonders of Arizona's north central region, including Sedona and the Grand Canyon. And Dora's "High Desert Oasis" is a wonderful home to come back to after a scenic drive or hike or side-trip. But if all you want to do on any given day is to take it easy and relax, the large deck or patio provide comfortable chairs and loungers, mountain views and sightings of hummingbirds, cardinals and other feathered friends attracted to the hanging feeders. Choosing where to plop down with a Kindle reader was often the most difficult decision of the day.
The home itself is warm and cozy with an open floor plan creating a feeling of space, along with much natural light shining through the large windows; windows that bring forth a lovely view of the sunrise and of the Mingus mountains for a treat to begin your mornings. The night sky photos on the walls - taken by the owner and depicting Alaskan northern lights and Sedona red rock formations - are stunning and a reminder of what exists within half an hours drive. (Sedona, not Alaska!) In addition, because the house is perched up high on a large parcel of land, you feel like you are nicely secluded but in fact are only a few minutes from the business district and also old, historic Cottonwood's colorful shops and restaurants.
Everything one needs for a long-term stay is here, including a fully equipped kitchen, laundry room and cleaning supplies, two bathrooms - one with a large, jetted soaking tub - and two bedrooms with plush beds/bedding. One of our favorite amenities is the Weber gas grill on the deck, which we used several times a week.
In sum, Dora has indeed created an "Oasis" in a stunning part of Arizona and we will be back next year to experience it's charms and pleasures. it truly feels like a home away from home.
Thank you!
We had a lovely stay!
The photos depict the comfortable home it is: lovely & so livable. We loved the photos and decor in the home. It was impeccably clean and had everything we needed.
The deck is just right for morning coffee and hummingbirds!!!! The gazebo was the place for evening drinks- such comfy lounge chairs!
The bed was comfortable and the TV with Roku channels gave lots of choices for entertainment. We easily used Bluetooth to listen to our favorite music through the living area speakers- nice! We liked the master suite- such beautiful tile!
It was so quiet and peaceful; beautiful trees n views in almost all directions.
The kitchen was well stocked and we found it easy to locate anything we needed.
Sedona is so close! Hiking was a blast! The red rocks are so beautiful! We need to come visit longer.
We loved old town Cottonwood Main Street: great restaurants, tasting rooms and shopping!
We are going to Page Springs for wine tasting our next trip! Jerome was so much fun: arts, gifts n tasty food at restaurants.
There is so much to do in the area! We loved it. The antique and resale shops in Camp Verde were great!
Having this house as our main place was perfect!
