5 Bedroom THREE Private Living Spaces on Main Street Cottonwood WALK to Old Town

A wonderful opportunity to stay right in Historic Old Town Cottonwood—walk to wine-tasting rooms, shops, and restaurants just steps from the front door.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING

This unique property offers three separate living spaces under one roof. It includes two 2-bedroom, 1-bath homes (one upstairs and one downstairs), each with its own private entrance, plus a separate private king suite with its own bathroom on the lower level. The front home and the king suite are handicap accessible. Please note children cannot stay in one of the units without an adult present.

Stay together while still enjoying your own private space—the perfect blend of connection and privacy.

With hundreds of 5-star reviews, this home is truly one of a kind in Cottonwood. Everything Old Town has to offer is within easy walking distance, yet the property provides a rare sense of space, privacy, and comfort you won’t find anywhere else.

Set on a large private lot, it’s ideal for multi-generational families, larger groups, girls’ wine-country getaways, family reunions, or weddings in the area.

This beautiful historic home has been 100% renovated for modern comfort and style. Enjoy secure off-street parking, plus a huge private backyard oasis featuring ping pong, cornhole, bocce ball, a fire pit, two gas grills, a pergola, and plenty of outdoor seating. The property is fully fenced and gated for privacy and peace of mind.

If you have a smaller group, you can also rent just one of the homes—see our other listings. We also offer a private guest studio on 2.5 acres with a private pool and hot tub for couples or small groups. Feel free to reach out and we’ll help you find the perfect fit. Pura Vida!

After booking, you’ll receive access to our guest website with local recommendations and exclusive discounts, including private catered events, in-home massages, wine and food pairings, wine tours with door-to-door service, hot air balloon rides, helicopter tours, local wineries, horseback riding, kayaking, and more.

We had an amazing stay at The Prickly Pear Guesthouse! The home was the perfect size for our group of eight. Spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location truly can’t be beat: walking distance to tasting rooms, shops, and restaurants, which made our weekend so easy and fun. The owners were incredibly responsive and accommodating, answering questions quickly and making sure everything was seamless from check-in to check-out. I would definitely book this home again!

Stayed with my girlfriend, sister & her husband, my cousin & her husband, a buddy and his wife and another friend. It was a great place to stay as we all had our own spaces to relax in and then get together in themai house for meals and fun. The outdoor area was great to hang out and play games too. We went to Sedona, Jerome, the train out of Clarkdale and then went back to PHX thru Jerome and up and over Mingus mountain thru PrescottA great time was had by all.

Perfect location for a walk down to old town Cottonwood tasting rooms, or get picked up for a tour of wine country in our own backyard of Arizona.

This space is fantastic for a group! We instantly felt at home. It has a great set up with nice indoor and outdoor areas to gather while everyone had their private space to escape as needed. The location is ideal as it is walkable to the restaurants and tasting rooms of Old Town. While we didnt prepare any meals in, the kitchens appeared to be fully stocked. We will definitely return!

We loved it!

The Prickly Pear was a perfect base for an annual gathering of 50-something gals. It was comfortable and cute and well-equipped. We loved the outdoor spaces and amenities. Glen was immediately responsive to our questions. I felt like I had hit a home run by choosing this property for my out-of-state friends to enjoy along with all the Verde Valley has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Glen & Kristen Quackenbush

Host profile image
We’re so excited to share our beautiful vacation rentals with you! Our motto is Live the Life You Love, and we truly believe it—especially here in the incredible Verde Valley, just minutes from Sedona. This special corner of Arizona is full of unforgettable experiences, and our fully renovated homes are designed to be the perfect place to relax and recharge between adventures.

Let our home be your home base while you explore everything Arizona has to offer!

Why they chose this property

We chose this charming neighborhood in Historic Old Town Cottonwood because it’s one of the best places to experience the Verde Valley. You’ll find amazing restaurants, wine-tasting rooms, and unique shops all within easy walking distance of the home.

When staying at the Prickly Pear Guest House, you’ll enjoy five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two full kitchens plus a kitchenette, a laundry room, and tons of outdoor entertaining space. There’s also plenty of off-street parking, all set on a spacious half-acre lot right in Old Town.

Visit Sedona… but stay in Cottonwood! 🌵✨

What makes this property unique

What makes this home so special is that your group gets three completely private living spaces—so you can stay together while still enjoying your own space and privacy. It’s perfect for families or groups traveling together. You’ll also love the huge outdoor entertaining area on a private half-acre lot. Located right on Main Street, you’re close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, yet far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet.
