About this property
Ideally located, updated home near downtown with yard & washer/dryer
Primary renter must be at least 25 years old to book (valid ID required at check-in).
A Piece of Flagstaff History, Reimagined
Tucked along the northeast edge of the NAU campus, this beautifully updated 1952 red brick home blends mid-century character with modern comfort. Its iconic red brick exterior — a signature of Flagstaff's post-war architecture — has been carefully preserved, giving this single-level retreat a warmth and authenticity you won't find in a newer build.
Location, Location, Location
You're steps from everything that makes Flagstaff special. Walk downtown for craft breweries and local eats, then hit one of the many nearby hiking and mountain biking trails to work it off. Come home to unwind in the partially enclosed yard, or settle into the living room where vintage charm meets thoughtful modern updates.
Inside the Home
Sunlight pours through this fully refreshed, open living space. The kitchen comes stainless-steel equipped and ready for real cooking, with plenty of counter space for your favorite recipes. Eat at the breakfast bar or the window-front bistro table before heading out for the day. In the evening, stream a movie in the living room, hop on free WiFi, or run a load in the newly upgraded washer/dryer.
Three well-appointed bedrooms offer a comfortable night's rest, ready for another day of Flagstaff adventure — whether that's the trails, the university, downtown, or the timeless charm of this classic red brick home.
About the Neighborhood
This home sits near the corner of the NAU campus, putting you close to both university life and downtown Flagstaff. Because of that location, expect some pedestrian foot traffic during class hours and weekdays, and occasional neighborhood noise from nearby student housing, especially evenings and weekends.
If you're after a quiet, secluded getaway, this may not be the right fit. But if you love being in the middle of the action — campus energy, local restaurants, and downtown all within reach — this spot is hard to beat.

Parents weekend 2024
The location of this home was absolutely perfect. It was very close to where our son lives and vicinity to the school was absolutely perfect for us. There is a fraternity or should I say a few fraternities that back to this property however we did not have any issues whatsoever. Just something to be aware of. We loved this house and it was perfect for our parents weekend! Would absolutely stay again.

Warning: Don't stay here!
We reserved this house July 30-Aug 12 2023. Our contract stated we would have a working washer and dryer and a working refrigerator/freezer. Nether was in working order and we spent two weeks trying to get someone in to fix them. Vacasa's solution was to change the description of amenities on the listing for future guest and state there is no washer/dryer and site the new version as proof that we also could not use the washer/dryer. Our contract, which we still have, states "a newly upgraded washer/dryer is available for any of your laundry needs." In April, another reviewer (Frank K) said the washer and dryer were broken. I suspect they made no attempt to fix them between April and late July. The refrigerator was also not working. It did not meet even a minimum cooling temp to keep food from spoiling and could not even keep ice cream frozen or make ice. Several hundread dollars of food was thrown out as a result. Again, no help for two weeks from Vacasa Arizona. We want to warn others about the misleading advertising and actual lies they have in their listing. At least 5 times we were told a "local team" was going to fix our problems and were even told it was fixed, which was very disappointing as nobody contacted us. We have used VRBO many times, but through the actual owner, never through Vacasa. I would look them up and see the company reviews, they are not good. If you stay here, know that nobody will help you if something goes wrong.
The lodging was great!! Made use of the kitchen, tv and washing unit. Thank you so much!!

Great location - some hiccups
The house was in a great location and convenient to downtown shops and restaurants. Inside was very clean on check in, however the front yard had a lot of empty cans and bottles and even what looked like a broken car fender. Perfect size for our party and very comfortable. If you are staying on a weekend be aware the backyard neighbor is a Fraternity house - Saturday partying was quite loud. Unfortunately the clothes dryer didnt work which we found out after running our clothes in the washer. Notified the property manager through multiple avenues - text, email, VRBO - but the issue was not addressed or fixed during our week in the home.

Right-Sized, Comfortable, but...
The house is a great size for about 4 to 6 people. With two bathrooms and a full kitchen (minus a dishwasher), it was conceptually perfect for what we needed in a vacation home for our Arizona trip.
It was difficult to find, at first, because we didn't know what the property looked like from the outside. The carport only half-shielded our vehicle from the elements and we had to make sure that we weren't blocking the sidewalk outside, but we found we could live with it.
Inside, the property was clean, comfortable, and welcoming with plenty of bedding and towels for everyone on the trip.
There was, however, something else living there. When we first arrived, we noted an unpleasant smell, like something from a skunk or another musk-producing rodent. It wasn't too bad at first, but a few nights into our stay it got worse and began to be accompanied by a squeaky, chittering noise. It was enough to wake us up and keep us up. The next morning, I looked around and determined that some kind of animal had gotten into the crawl space beneath the home and got stuck there adjacent to the main bedroom and the carport. The smell was bad enough that even the rental car started to stink.
It got so bad that we decided to leave the property a night early. Attempts to engage with the property company managing the house to get a refund on our last night have been in vain, the excuse being that they were busy with "too many emails."
