About this property

The Garden Oasis on the National Forest

Welcome to my home! Just renovated, super clean, in a quiet neighborhood 240' from the Sugarloaf trailhead, we invite you for serenity and renewal. Created by an artist (moi) and full of original art, this is a home of beauty. Enjoy the views while relaxing on the sofa, listening to the sound of running water, or book a massage with our neighbor Jacob. We offer easy trail access, fast internet, a complete kitchen, tea / coffee, a laundry area, guide books, free parking.. and peace and beauty....

However the best (and my favorite) part of the property is the 3 level terrace.... Or of course, hiking around Sugarloaf first thing in the morning. You'll be pretty much in the Natl Forest staying here. Check it out!

This is a house of healing, full of light. There are lovely outdoor sitting areas, a place to lock your bike, and lots of flowers and greenery. Roll out the door and head 240' up the street to access the National Forest and miles and miles of hiking trails. Watch the sunset from the side of Sugarloaf, and catch Sedona's amazing star show (we're a dark skies (light free) zone.

There is a separate studio on on the side of the house where Theresa lives. The 2 units are completely separate, but please be aware that there is some noise overlap between the 2 spaces.

This is a special neighborhood. A highly respected Sedona massage therapist, Jacob Massey, lives across the street. Celeste, who does Myofascia release and works on a number of famous athletes based in the PHX area lives around the corner. Both are available for private sessions; if interested, let me know, I'll send you their contact info.

There's plenty of free parking in the carport and in front of the house. As to getting around the neighborhood it's best to walk as it's all of 3 blocks.

We purposely do not have a TV. It's about you time, not distractions.

PLEASE NOTE: Vrbo's algorithm has decided there is space for 4 people to sleep in the bedroom (which I unfortunately can't change).
The house sleeps 4 but not in the bedroom.
There is a fold down sofa couch (full), in the living room, and a twin tri-fold mattress that can go anywhere.

The house was very clean and had a super comfy bed. The area is gorgeous and we enjoyed the view, sitting outside multiple times a day. The shower has great water pressure, and the house is well stocked with items we needed. We would definitely stay here again, it is so peaceful and quiet yet very close to parks and restaurants, and shopping.

The house was amazing for a great weekend getaway. The house isn’t too far from great restaurants and good hikes. I love the vibe of the house but the only thing I wish was there was a tv to settle down with at the end of the night but other then that the house is great

Thanks so much for staying with us! We purposely don't have a TV. We want to keep that vibe out of our home, which has been a place of meditation for over 20 years. I make that clear in the property description (but I know some people miss it).

We found this house to be comfortable for two people for our 2-week stay in Sedona. The location was perfect...in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to the trailhead for Sugarloaf Mountain and Thunder Mountain hiking trails. Itincluded a private back patio, a comfortable bed, a good shower, and a carport. The host was friendly and accommodating. She was easy to contact and gave us great suggestions to make our stay in the Sedona area more fun and enjoyable!

We only stayed for a brief time but were happy with the place. The only challenge was how dark the neighborhood was. It made it challenging to find the place at night.

Thanks so much for staying with us... And yes, Sedona has a dark skies policy, which is why you can see the stars horizon to horizon, but means there are no street lights and it's pitch black! Next time let us know if you're coming in at night and we'll leave the porch light on for you!

The location is amazing! It is a block from a trailhead, which we were able to walk to. We hiked the trails several times. Also, the house is very clean. The shower has great water pressure! The home has a nice, vintage feel. There’s a great terraced patio in the backyard. It’s also located in central West Sedona, which was perfect for our needs. The host is also great with communication.

Everything was clean, just as in the listing. Our only issue was the swamp cooler was unable to cool bedroom to our liking, we stayed close to AC window unit in living room most of the time in the house. We enjoyed Sedona, was a little warm the week we were there but it’s in a good location to hiking and shopping. Host treated us very well.

Hey Jeremy, Again, I am so sorry about the evaporative cooler... It seems they always break when it's 100ª . I had a crew repairing it in the week before you arrived, but I guess they didn't quite do the job. (If you come back it'll be working, I promise!) Thanks so much for staying with us.

I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. I would suggest that the next time you book a stay in a STR you read the communications from your host where important information is shared. Ie: check in time, the door combo, whether or not there's a TV in the house, what the house rules are, etc. (All of which are in my house description or in the communications sent 3 days prior to arrival.) As to restrictions... I'm not sure what you're referring to as you never mentioned anything but as I told you multiple times on the phone you were always welcome to call me with any problems or issues. Hope your next trip goes better! Perhaps a more upscale place would be more suitable for you. My home is about peace, tranquility and access to nature.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Sands

Host profile image
Hello! I am an artist, meditator, workshop instructor and graphic designer ...and an active, outdoor person, who bikes everywhere, eats healthy, grows my own veggies, hikes, climbs, etc.
A professional artist, I paint and teach both drawing and painting, and I love to create. Most everything in and around the Garden Oasis I've made. My house is an ongoing art project and love affair. I hope you enjoy staying here as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Sedona is so very beautiful and so powerful. A walk out back in the canyon changes my world in a moment. Time stops – the beauty and majesty of the red rocks leave me in silence and awe. I hope while staying in my home you are also enveloped in this silence and enchanted beauty. "Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved."

Why they chose this property

My home has a meditators energy, and we work hard to maintain the silent and peace of the house ...and this magic is palatable when you walk in. It is very clean, relax to the sound of running water from the water feature.
Located in a very quiet neighborhood off the main streets, with almost no through traffic it has a old style neighborhood charm. The national forest is just up the street, yet downtown West Sedona; major supermarkets, (Safeway, Basha's, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, etc. health food and restaurants are within a 5 minute drive or 15-20 minute walk.. We offer a full kitchen, for easy meal preparation with a 5 stage reverse osmosis water filter.
Essentially, this is a place to find healing and a space to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Love, Silence, Peace
Miles and miles of trails start at the top of the street in the National Forest
Dark skies, stars horizon to horizon
Gardens
Massage therapist on site and available to be booked in advance
Water filter
Washer / Dryer
Full kitchen
Outdoor sitting areas
