My husband, daughter (14) and I stayed here for 5 days when we visited Sedona. The cottage is a short and easy drive into Sedona, it's less busy and less expensive, (partly due to significantly less sales tax in Cornville vs Sedona, I learned this when talking with Chris on the phone). The house is on same property as the owner's house, another guest house and the owner's art studio. The owners were available when we had needs/questions but also gave us our own space. We had plenty of privacy. I enjoyed the second floor deck on the side of the house).There are lots of chickens on the property so if you are a light sleeper and don't like to wake up early then you might not appreciate the roosters crowing at 6am. I personally did not mind as I am an early riser. My husband could have done without the roosters. My daughter didn't seem to notice (teenagers sleep well).

The main door to come into the cottage takes you through the bathroom, but I didn't mind that. There is also a patio door on the other side of the house that can be used for going in and out so you don't really need to use the "bathroom door" except when you leave for the day as that is the door that uses the key.

The only reason I gave this property 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fact that the hot tub was not working. We came to Sedona to do lots of hiking and wanted to soak our tired muscles in the hot tub in the evenings. The hot tub was a deciding factor when choosing a place to rent and we were disappointed that it was not working.

The house itself is well equipped and cared for. The kitchen had everything we needed. The linen closet had plenty of towels, blankets etc. The wifi was strong. At one point all three of us were using our computers at the same time and we had no trouble. The tv had premium movie channels which was nice for the nights. The washer and dryer worked well and there was even detergent available for our use.

Chris was always available by phone prior to and during our stay, so I felt that I had all my questions answered. I called him a few times prior to our stay because I kept thinking of more questions and he was always willing to answer my questions. We were made to feel very welcome, more like guests than renters.
