2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 850 sq ft historic cottage built in the 1930s. It features a fully equipped chef's kitchen with a gas range and copper sink, a spacious living room with large windows offering scenic views, a sunny private back patio with an online gas grill, a large outdoor dining area, and plenty of comfortable seating. You can enjoy spectacular views of Mingus Mountain, famous high desert starry night skies, and birdwatching from the peaceful front porch. The cottage is equipped with 1G Wi-FI. The master bedroom features a Tuft & Needle mattress on a custom-made king bed, along with a private bathroom with a 1930s cast-iron bathtub and original pink tiles. Additionally, there is a newly constructed second bathroom off the laundry area with a shower and skylight, and a comfortable and private queen bedroom. The original coal shed has been converted into a game room with colorful lighting, a full-size antique pool table, a fridge, and AC. There are two off-street parking spaces accessible from the alley, one of which has a 220V Tesla Dock EV Charger. The cottage, nearly 100 years old, has been fully renovated, but you can still expect squeaky floors, sticky doors, and an uncommon layout, retaining all its original charm and character. Situated across from a vibrant desert wash in a small town, it's common to see javelina, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, quail, and other birds, as well as bees, butterflies, spiders, snakes, and many other creatures on our street or in our yard.

Thanks for this lovely review! Clarkdale is a hidden gem away from Sedona's heavy traffic but easy access to Jerome, old town, Cottonwood, and the hiking in West Sedona. You're welcome back anytime!
This house had everything you need. A home away from home. Located on a quiet street, clean and the Host was very helpful.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your short visit! We love you have you back for a longer stay next time.
Had a wonderful experience staying here! Celestine was extremely attentive and helpful and the house itself was perfect for what we were looking for. A quaint house in a quiet neighborhood not too far from the main attractions. Highly recommend!

Wonderful! I am so glad you appreciated our historic home and neighborhood.
Stayed here for the Verde Train... The location is great, the space has some original pieces like wood floors and lovely updates like dimming lights and fully upgraded and well stocked kitchen. The game shed was a great bonus.

Thanks for staying with us. I'm so glad you appreciated all of our amenities and had a great stay.
Decided to take a weekend drive to Jerome to get out of the triple digit temperatures. The trip was more than we expected. The cottage exceeded my expectations. We’ll definitely be returning.

Thanks for staying! There are many hidden gems in the verde valley and you're welcome back anytime!
This place was even better than expected. Its adorable and spacious. It over looks a wash so it feels a little excluded and the backyard was amazing! Only thing I noticed is that there is not fence in the back yard to keep pets and children out of the alley. Otherwise it was really wonderful!

Yes the neighborhood is tiny peaceful and surrounded by nature. Thanks for staying.
The property is as advertised!! Very nice home with two bedrooms, 2 baths. Kitchen is well stocked with the essentials and nice coffee area. Living room has front window that allows for a great view of the mountain range. Beds were comfortable and clean. Master bathroom is a step-in tub while back bathroom is a walk-in. Washer and dryer easy to use if needed. Back porch area has an outdoor table and place to park vehicle if needed. Game room also available with pool table, led lighting and tv. Neighborhood is very quiet and there is a 9pm quiet time per city ordinance. We can’t wait to return to the Clarkdale/Cottonwood/Jerome area again soon.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed all the comforts of The Quail Cottage, from the cozy bedrooms to the mountain views and game room. It’s wonderful that the peaceful neighborhood and amenities made your stay so enjoyable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing visit to the Clarkdale/Jerome/Sedona area!
We loved our 3 night stay at The Quail Cottage! We went to Clarkdale to celebrate our 21st anniversary & enjoyed the local wineries/tasting rooms, as well as beautiful hikes up on Mingus Mountain, and riding the train. The check in/out process was incredibly hassle-free and Celestina had a bottle of wine and pancake mix on the counter for our arrival-very nice! For families, there is an adorable children’s bedroom with bunks, and bookshelf with children’s favorites, and games are in the chest of drawers. The cottage is roomy, and we loved the open living room, kitchen area and wood breakfast bar - and so brightly lit with all of the windows (all darken to sleep in). The couch is comfy for sipping wine or coffee and watching movies on the huge tv. The kitchen is well appointed with everything for making meals at the cottage. Beautiful large gas stove and the large copper sink is gorgeous & drinking from the ceramic/copper coffee mugs was indulgent! The bathrooms have extra large thick towels! And the bed (master) is incredibly comfortable. In the bedrooms there are places to hang items behind the doors. The outside is amazing with large grape plants and fruit trees& rosemary so sitting out on the front porch, or the back are super relaxing. The pool room has a fridge and TV as well- great space!The town itself is very walkable- the Brewery and Violette’s bakery are both great places - everyone is so friendly! We look forward to another stay!
