A Historic A-Frame Retreat in the Heart of Uptown Sedona
Welcome to Hartman Cabin (Quail Tail) — a one-of-a-kind, recently remodeled A-frame tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac and backing directly to national forest land. This iconic Sedona retreat blends timeless character with modern comfort, all within easy walking distance to Uptown Sedona’s shops, trails, galleries, and restaurants.
Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by a vaulted main living space with a dramatic wall of windows, framing sweeping red rock views and flooding the home with natural light. Outside, the generously sized deck faces the forest and offers a front-row seat to sunrise, sunset, and stargazing—with nothing but nature behind you.
A True Sedona Original — Rich in History & Soul
Affectionately known as the Hartman Cabin, this beloved family retreat has welcomed families, artists, and creatives for over 50 years. Originally built by Dr. and Mrs. Hartman as a Phoenix escape, the home is thoughtfully decorated with authentic Southwestern artifacts and original artwork, preserving its heritage while offering today’s comforts.
The result is a space that feels warm, meaningful, and impossible to replicate—a rare find in Sedona.
Thoughtful Layout for Relaxation & Connection
Open, airy design with vaulted ceilings
Lofted sitting area upstairs (baby gates provided)
Expansive forest-facing deck
Quiet, private setting at the end of a cul-de-sac
Surrounded by national forest on multiple sides
The home is entirely yours during your stay—private, peaceful, and designed for connection with both nature and one another.
Best of Both Worlds: Walk to Town, Escape to Nature
Enjoy the rare combination of walkability and seclusion. Stroll safely via sidewalks off Jordan Road into Uptown Sedona, or step outside your door to feel immersed in red rock country.
Everything you’ll want to explore is close:
Uptown Sedona: walkable
West Sedona, Oak Creek Village, Red Rock Loop Roads: 6–8 miles
Scenic drive on 89A toward Flagstaff
Page Springs wine country through lush riparian landscapes
A car is recommended for adventures beyond Uptown.
Attentive Off-Site Support

The Hartman family is honored to share this special home with you. Come stay, play, unwind—and experience Sedona hospitality at its finest.

Hi Mandy! Our checkout time is 10:00am. We rely upon our cleaning teams and their schedule to get the home ready and prepared for the next guests. Having that time allows us to make sure each guest enjoys a wonderfully welcoming and clean house with all details attended to.
This property had everything we were looking for - views, walking distance to Up Town, space for all 8 of us and a house in good condition. We had a great time and would rent again.

The seniority of the area was amazing. Beautiful mountain views right from the house. Definitely would stay there again
Thanks
Excellent experience in a comfortable cabin literally at the end of the road.It has a spectacular back porch view and is located in a well-isolated and quiet area. The cabin was FULLY stocked as if you were living there, and the ability to adjust the temperature in different areas was easy. The support staff immediately answered any inquiry made while we were there. Overall, it was one of our best VRBO experiences, and we would not hesitate to return.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for being such a wonderful guest! We would love to welcome you back anytime!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was clean, in a great location, and incredible views! We made friends with the javalina's wandering thru and saw some local cayotes passing thru as well.
On a very windy day, there was a chilly draft but we bundled up .

Come see us again.

Beautiful and spacious house that’s stocked to the max. Best of all the view is absolutely stunning! Also, Leila is an excellent communicator!
We’ll be back!
Located just in the edge of town. Could walk into town if you wanted, but we typically drove. It is located in a great area to access the hikes that we wanted. Great deck with beautiful views. Well supplied kitchen. Great communication with host.
Property location is amazing. Very quiet neighborhood with the cabin at the end of the road. The house is clean and communication was excellent. They had all that we needed for our stay. We were not at the house a lot, as we hiked all over the place. Really appreciated the kindness and attentiveness.

About the host
Hosted by Desert Haven
We love gathering our family - including 6 grandkids - in this wonderful cabin that was originally built by our Dad who was an orthopedic surgeon in Phoenix; he cherished his weekends away in Sedona.
Why they chose this property
Sedona is a magical must-do experience. The colors and the incredible energy here is awe inspiring. Once you visit you will yearn to return year after year.
Our cabin sits on top of Jordan Hill and although supremely close to uptown and all amenities, you will feel as though you are miles away from everything in this quiet location. A short10-minute walk leads you to Uptown Sedona and the shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Amazing trailheads are also just a few minutes walk from the cabin.
Please note we have exterior surveillance cameras at the front of the home and along the side of the house for both your safety and the protection of our home.
What makes this property unique
Outstanding views, great wifi, plenty of space and a home with lots of character and personality.
