Beautiful, clean & spacious accommodations for all ages. Game room with video, arcade, ping pong & more. Gorgeous, nature-filled backyard with jacuzzi, and great location to Sedona, Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon and more. Lots of stairs as advertised but worth the effort. Would stay there again!

Absolutely loved the location, the house was great. My only con is the amount of stairs, tripped while carrying luggage inside from our car as the stairs were pretty narrow compared to my feet. Other than that though, great experience/stay.

Great place to gather family and friends! The house is room, cozy, and clean! The stairs are plentiful, so being able to go up and down stairs is required. I loved that we could have our dog there too. We had deer roaming the area morning and evening, it was beautiful! I highly recommend this place!

We had a great time. The house fit all 13 of us very comfortably. Loved seeing the deers in the morning and evenings. The kids and adults loved the game room!
The pictures looked better than it really was. The house is truly 3 odd levels. The kids cave was very hot and a bit disgusting. The bed in the room with the buck beds needs to be replaced because it is sunken in the middle and being held up by bricks. My grandson had the worst back
ache and he is only 7. Just a few hiccups…we still had a wonderful time.

We loved this property, although it might not work for someone who has trouble with stairs. Because it's set into a hillside, there's no ground floor per se: when you open the front door, you have to climb a flight of stairs to get to the lowest living level (with the Big Bear room, the Wilderness room, and the fabulous arcade room), and then another flight to get to the main level (with the Pinecone room and the Lavender room.) The room AC units kept things comfortable during the day, and opening the windows at night cooled the whole house down quite well.
The grounds are like a resort all their own. There are several outdoor conversation/seating areas with comfortable sofas, a waterfall running into a pond, and a dining area with two gas grills, all set in the pine trees.
We really enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend it to anyone for whom stairs are not an issue (we had two adults in their mid-80's, and they had no problem - although they're both from Colorado at a similar elevation as Flagstaff.)

July trip to Flagstaff
House itself was fantastic. Lots of spaces for our 3 families to hang out. Backyard also has lots of different spaces as well. Game room was a big hit with everyone. Easy access off the highway and short drive to downtown Flagstaff. Would absolutely rent again.
We were there in July. House does not have central air conditioning. The portable A/C units helped but couple of the bedrooms got warm during the day but were perfectly fine at night.

The house was all it said to be. Great décor and fun to read all the signs. Read listing there are ALOT of stairs. Only thing I would say was wrong with that many stairs and no access to garage made it tough to drag our ski gear in and out every day.
Other than that its a great place.

The size of the home was perfect for our family vacation. We brought along mom and my sisters family and it provided enough gathering space and personal space when needed. Home was decorated so beautifully for the Christmas holiday! Plenty of fun art, kitchen supplies to cook full course meals! We loved early
Morning coffee and watching the deers visit right outside the window! We played in the snow at the golf course, which was a 10 min walk, and baked cookies and watched holiday movies at night. Everything we wanted for was provided in the house and the host was available
And communicative throughout. Can’t wait to visit again!

I would like to start by saying we had an amazing time at this house! I originally had some hesitations after I contacted the owner three times to change my credit card on file and they would reply by email but never did what I asked . Super frustating. Our tripe was great but there were a few items that I felt would be worth sharing in the event that you plan on staying here.
Stairs! There are SO many stairs! Lol. Right when you walk in the door there is a flight of stairs and then even more stairs to get to each level of the house, so depending on where your room is, carrying luggage and getting there isn't as easy as just opening the door. Just keep that in mind if you have anyone elderly (or if you are traveling with anyone who has physical ailments) as you will definitely be a little winded by the time you get to the main floor. The vibe of the house is really fun and we enjoyed the different themed rooms and the artwork. The kitchen was very spacious, newly updated, and offered plenty of space to hang out. We loved the coffee bar area! As far as essentials go the house had everything we needed except for a knife that could actually cut food. It might be time for new cutlery or just bring your own. The family room was also very nice with newer furniture, a large tv, and plenty of comfortable seating. The bedrooms were nice but they definitely need to be updated. For the price you pay per night I honestly expected much more; better mattresses, nicer sheets, and newer furniture. We also would have appreciated having extra sheets. The lower level offered an extra kitchen and small family room (which was really great) and the game room on that floor was one of our favorite spots. Both the adults and the kids absolutely loved it!! We did notice during our stay that there was quite a few insects (very much alive) inside the house. Something worth noting. The backyard is by far and away the most amazing aspect of this home, the pictures just don't do it justice. So many places to sit and many fun outdoor games as well. The patio table was huge and offered plenty of eatingg but we wish there had been an umbrella or more covered outdoor areas. It got a little hot during the day without shade and the small pergola didn't allow us to sit outdoors while it rained. The jacuzzi was definitely a plus, clean, new and heated up quickly. There were also plenty of towels. Overall we had a wonderful stay and appreciated alot of what the house had to offer!

This home was the best one we have ever rented in Flagstaff. The neighborhood is beautiful and upscale, the home is comfortable, so clean and so much to do! The backyard and the arcade were loved by all! We loved the owners sense of humor with the wall art! The property manager was very quick to get back to us, as well. Overall, this was a 10 out of 10!

The house itself is really spread out and big. It's on three levels, so it can be a bit much for those older or out of shape, LOL. It is decorated so adorably with a lot of funny sign art and pictures. The kids LOVED the arcade! The backyard is the best part of this house. It's huge and picturesque. The only downside is that it's not fenced or private at all. A police car came to the house directly across from us, so that kind of put a damper on the first night. Along with that, a neighbor and his dog went into the yard another night, so it' just didn't feel safe. The biggest downside was that the house has NO AC!! Even though the listing mentions AC, I repeat, THERE IS NO AC. I was disappointed when I emailed before arrival asking about how we access the pool that is listed, and they said there is no access to the country club pool and that it's a "glitch" in the listing. That was a bummer, but we got over it. When we arrived and found there was NO AC, they said there are two portable AC fans in the closet. The listing mentioned AC, so again, another "glitch". This was a HUGE bummer because it got SO HOT in the house. The adults were not able to sleep for three long nights because of how uncomfortable and hot it was. On the last day, we had both fans going in the main room to try and cool the house, and it ended up tripping the breaker. It was such a bummer about the AC it made everything seem crummy. We would not start here again any time except for winter because it does have heat, at least we think....

From start to finish the rental team took great care of us. Matthew was amazing to work with and helped us feel at home and comfortable with where we were staying! Space was great! Parts of the home are in need of updating and better organization to compete, especially for the nightly rate that is charged but it served its purpose for the size of our family. The FUN game room for kids and adults was a great plus!!! Thanks for a wonderful time.

The cabin does not look as large as the pictures show. Lots of stairs. There is no design to this cabin, too cluttered, too many pictures on the walls and design elements that don't match throughout the cabin. All the chairs are different. Every table and bed make noise, not well put together. Lack of proud of ownership. The carpet in the living very dirty. The pros are: hot tub, game room and the backyard.

Our 5 families (10 adults and 10 children) fit comfortably without feeling crowded in this unique and super fun property. The kids and adults were entertained just within the household and with its amenities, playroom, game room, backyard, and jacuzzi, so much so that we never left the home! The home was even decorated for Christmas with a tree and lights along the banister. Check in and check out we’re clear and simple. We also fit our 5 large vehicles in the driveway including 3 large trucks and 2 SUVs. We saw families of deer wandering the backyard each day. The floor plan almost made each room of the house feel like a separate wing. We would absolutely rent this property again and highly recommend for large groups.

Our family of 4 needed a break from a very long hot summer. We all enjoyed the backyard and the stream with the small fish was beautiful. The trail around the backyard was perfect to get in some walking exercise. Our boys loved the arcade and enjoyed late nights playing the video games. Perfect property, well maintained. Just what we needed.

Great for Large Group
The property is in a great location. We enjoyed seeing wildlife every day. There was plenty of room for everyone. We would have loved one more bathroom or at least an extra toilet. The “half bath” only included a sink. The utensils/kitchen gadgets needed to be checked and cleaned before use. Also, one day it was raining and there was a leak dropping down beside the piano. We made sure to keep it cleaned up but this should be looked into. The main refrigerator also needs to be checked. It was not staying as cool as it should and the freezer stayed cool but did not freeze. All the ice cream and freezer packs we had put in there went to complete liquid. The game room was a wonderful surprise and every age thoroughly enjoyed! Even with the issues I mentioned, we were very pleased with this rental!

Huge, clean house with all the amenities you’d need!
We had the most wonderful stay at the Big R Lodge. There were 13 of us celebrating a bachelorette party and loved having this home as our “home base.” It has everything we needed and everyone was very comfortable. Everyone was talking about how much they liked their beds. I wish the weather was a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the gorgeous outdoor area more. Would definitely recommend this house if you have a lot of guests. Krista was so helpful before we arrived and we really couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay.

Terrific home base for day trip to Grand Canyon
Our family, ranging from age 7 to 79, greatly enjoyed our 2-night stay at the "BIG R" Lodge. It was a terrific home base for a day trip to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, where most of our group enjoyed a helicopter tour by Papillon, as recommended by Krista. A visit to the Grand Canyon was on my bucket list. The helicopter tour was not, but it should have been! It was incredible to see just how big it is, and to fly over both the south and north rims and to see the differences in landscape and vegetation due to the difference in elevation. The house had enough bedrooms for our family, and the multiple levels were great for different age groups keeping different hours. We appreciated Krista's local dining suggestions, which we found to be just right!

Fabulous group getaway!
My husband and I invited a few other couples up for a Friendsgiving weekend and we were not disappointed!! It was nice to have everyone staying in the same house (we’d previously done vacations with separate hotel rooms) and the house just seemed to keep going and going so there was plenty of space. The rooms were very comfortable and it was great to have 2 kitchens (what with all the cooking we did). The area is beautiful and it’s not a far drive from downtown Flag. Krista was extremely responsive and answered all my questions promptly. We did have an incident with the sink and dishwasher, but she got someone to fix it right away! 10/10 would recommend!
