The views from property are stunning. The room is equipped with a king bed and cute kitchen with micro, 2burner stove, toaster oven, full size fridge with auto ice maker, dishwasher, outdoor bbq, Keurig and mr coffee, coffee maker. There is no living room but a cute breakfast nook that you can sit and play cards or use your computer. We also have a huge selection of board games! Or just enjoy a home cooked meal. There is a comfy chair to relax in. We keep cupboards stocked with typical kitchen stuff. Salt pepper, etc The WiFi is usually great, sometimes in inclement weather we get outages and the cell service can be iffy if your not on Verizon. ATT is not great, but doable. The TV is. 48” flat screen, connected to Direct TV. TiVo if you want to record your favorite game to watch later. We have Netflix too! The patio boasts a beautiful vantage point of Cathedral Rock the most photographed rock in Arizona. It’s very pleasant just to relax outside and enjoy the beautiful view of Cathedral Rock either from the patio of from your hot tub. The property is peaceful and private and a great spot to sit during the morning sunrise or evening sunset. In this courtyard you have a hot tub that is private to your casita. You must request it before your stay for very hot months. We have a pool that might be nicer. We offer EBike rentals on the property, ask us about our rates and availability during your stay. It’s fun to go exploring on them. Hiking and biking are right out your front and back door. No need to even leave the property to face the traffic and the tourist scene. This is where people come to ride or hike from in town, the area is not as hustle and bustle, more romantic. Very peaceful. We do not like multiple cars, travel trailers or atvs parked in our driveway tho, so if you are traveling with one, we will not allow on property. We only have so much parking. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator - Single level property - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - On a river ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Double-glazed windows - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 500 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33960000/33954900/33954840/7ecd6631.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### View with a room Cathedral Rock too!

There's an entrance fee of $9.00 to access this huge swath of land, which offers views of Cathedral Rock and long stretches of gentle creek water available for swimming, wading or just sitting quietly and clearing your thoughts. I don't think the words "Buddha Beach" can be found on any official map, but it's fairly obvious where people got the name.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182939/93a0ca90-8595-4872-aaa9-eacb842f5799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Crescent Moon Ranch 10 min walk \- 0.9 km - ![0_cd839a2c-6795-46d6-9ba8-0608b0c42fc0_raw](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621533114730/df0e805d-2232-4e86-939b-b5db827e6646.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Red Rock State Park 2 min drive \- 1.6 km - ![Slide Rock State Park featuring a gorge or canyon and a river or creek](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6063001/9466dc73-d64e-4065-99b6-f8cec56e0447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Oak Creek Canyon 16 min drive \- 18.3 km - Airport Mesa Viewpoint 11 min drive \- 12.0 km - Sedona Golf Resort 13 min drive \- 10.8 km ### Getting around - Sedona, AZ (SDX) 19 min drive ### Restaurants - McDonald's 8 min drive - Coffee Pot Restaurant 8 min drive - Circle K 7 min drive - Starbucks 8 min drive - Tortas de Fuego 9 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Desert Jewel in Red Rock country have a pool? ### Is Desert Jewel in Red Rock country pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Desert Jewel in Red Rock country? ### What time is check-out at Desert Jewel in Red Rock country? ### Where is Desert Jewel in Red Rock country located? ## Have a question?

It is a beautiful property with unique decor. The host was welcoming upon arrival as well as throughout our stay. The property had an amazing view of the Red Rocks. It is about 10 to 15 minutes from shopping and dining - close enough yet far enough to be away from it all.There is an outside sitting area and a hot tub which we used and enjoyed. We were even invited to a dinner on our last night which we thoroughly enjoyed. We recommend staying here and would stay here again. ##### Kelly Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff M.

The home is close to every Sedona attraction. Carolyn welcomed us upon Check in and explained all the features of the home. I think she could sense our need for privacy yet she responded to every message I sent through vrbo very promptly. I am not a hot tub user but after a day of hiking it was our favorite part of the night. We like to cook our own meals and although the kitchen was not large, we found it had all we needed to cook. The grill on the patio was also a bonus. ##### kelly e. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alan m.

Convenient to restaurants, shopping, and a number of hiking trails yet just far enough away to enjoy the quiet and beauty of Sedona (Cathedral Rock is directly across the street!). Carolyn (the host) was available to answer all our questions and kind enough to offer great suggestions for hiking and dining in the area. (Javelina's Cantina for happy hour was a treat after a day of hiking.) The property is a great mix of eclectic Sedona with a homey feel. Super clean and comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. With so much to see and do in Sedona, we'll be back. And this is where we'll stay! ##### John D. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dream Location with Everything You Could Possibly Want This studio apartment has everything you could possibly want, and the host Carolyn is a gem - very communicative and accommodating with suggestions, local advice, or property issues, but also unobtrusive. This property has the best view of Cathedral Rock in town, and watching the sunrise and sunset from the hot tub is such a treat, and the stars are bright for a late-night soak too. During the low season, every hike, restaurant, shopping trip, and view point was within an easy and picturesque 20 minute drive, and you can even walk to Crescent Moon Ranch and those trails straight from the property. The king size bed is so comfortable, the kitchenette has every appliance you could need, and the bathroom even has a heat fan for warming up after a hot tub dip on those cold desert nights. Carolyn even has a Red Rocks parking pass you can use! This property is truly perfect, and I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else on future visits. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen S., Jenison, MI Mar 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely Great Place This was our first time in Sedona so we threw a dart at the VRBO board and hit a bullseye! We are more inclined to outdoor activities and quiet settings and "Desert Jewel in Red Rock" was all of that. It sits a few miles outside of Sedona and is easily accessible from SW of town (avoiding 11 busy roundabouts). Everything the host lists is accurate. They are long time residents and very knowledgeable about the area and willingly gave us ideas for hikes, restaurants, coffee, crafts/arts, parks and e-biking. We follow a tight budget as retirees but it was worth every penny to stay at Desert Jewel - we hope to do it again in coming years. The lodging is beautiful. We cooked several meals in the small kitchen and on the grill. The bed was absolutely perfect for us - not too soft or hard. The hot tub was a huge blessing and relaxation after a day of hiking, biking and car rides. The view is magnificent and there are numerable beautiful hikes nearby without going into or through Sedona town. Communication prior to and during our visit was excellent. We definitely recommend Desert Jewel in Red Rock Country. Thanks so much for a wonderful week at your place!! ##### Stephen S. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter C.

The unit was cozy and decently equipped for our needs. The location is excellent - looking across at Cathederal Rock and very quiet. Nice outdoor space to enjoy the sunsets. Access to the town was straightforward and we managed to avoid the bottlenecks down-town. Numerous good restaurants and three supermarkets within a short drive. Carolyn was very friendly and responsive. ##### Peter C. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth J.
