THE EXPERIENCE
Every room is a scene from Wonderland: a sideways king bedroom, a lamp-filled attic room, a record player hidden in the twin room, a wall of clocks (guests have counted more than 60), a hat wall for photos, a piano and a vintage tea-party table set for 6 with complimentary tea and cookies. Outside, play Queen of Hearts croquet or giant chess, swing on the porch swings, light the fire pit, then soak in the hot tub under Flagstaff's dark skies.
BEDROOMS AND BATHS
- Main floor: king bed with TV and private bath (tub/shower)
- Upstairs attic: queen room and twin room, each with window AC
- Hall bath with large walk-in shower
- Premium linens, toiletries, 2 hair dryers
KITCHEN
Stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, full-size fridge, blender, rice cooker, electric kettle, cookware, spices, and complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cider.
FAMILIES
Travel crib, kids' dishes, books, toys and games. The attic stairs are steep and there are many small decorations, so little ones need supervision.
GOOD TO KNOW
- The home is on Highway 89. Double-paned windows keep it quiet inside, but you will hear traffic in the yard and hot tub.
- The two upstairs bedrooms are up a steep, narrow staircase.
- Cooling is window AC and fans: right for Flagstaff summers, warm on rare 90°F days.
- The driveway gate doesn't contain small dogs; use the dog run.
- Two exterior cameras (driveway and backyard entry), no audio, none inside.
- Quiet hours and hot tub close at 10 pm. No parties or smoking.
- Grill and fire pit follow City of Flagstaff fire restrictions.
- Free early check-in when the house is empty the night before; ask after 7 pm the day before.
