The Space:

Welcome to Cozy Northern Escape, your treetop hideaway perfectly situated between Sedona and Flagstaff. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure or peaceful relaxation, this cabin-style retreat offers the ideal balance of comfort, charm, and convenience.



Guests love gathering around the propane fire-pit dining table, the perfect spot to share meals, sip drinks, or simply enjoy the crisp mountain air beneath the tall pines. The spacious decks provide plenty of room to relax, read a book, or take in the serene forest views.



Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting living space equipped with fast Wi-Fi and board games, making it just as enjoyable on a rainy day as it is after exploring the outdoors. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals at home, and the cozy dining area sets the stage for memorable conversations and family dinners.



With thoughtfully furnished bedrooms and clean, modern bathrooms, everyone in your group will find a comfortable place to rest and recharge. The home is kept sparkling clean and maintained to the highest standards, so you can arrive knowing everything is ready for you.



Nature lovers will appreciate being close to Odell Lake and scenic hiking trails, with easy access to both Sedona’s red rocks and Flagstaff’s cool mountain vibes. Whether you’re here to hike, bike, fish, or simply enjoy the slower pace of life, this hideaway puts Northern Arizona’s best attractions within reach.



As Superhosts, we pride ourselves on quick communication and personalized touches that make every guest feel at home. From the moment you arrive, you’ll experience the kind of hospitality that keeps guests returning year after year.



After a day of adventure, there’s no better way to unwind than relaxing on the deck under the pines, soaking up the peace and quiet of your own private getaway.



Guest Access:

Guests can park conveniently off the street on the driveway. You’ll have your own private entrance for easy and secure access to the home. Please note that the garage is not available for guest use.



The Neighborhood:

Munds Park is a charming mountain community nestled among the tall pines just 20 minutes south of Flagstaff. Known for its cool summer climate and laid-back vibe, it’s a favorite getaway for families, golfers, and outdoor enthusiasts. At the heart of the community is Pinewood Country Club, featuring a golf course, tennis, and seasonal activities, while the surrounding Coconino National Forest offers endless opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, and off-roading.



Guests love the small-town atmosphere, local restaurants, and easy access to Northern Arizona’s top attractions. Sedona’s red rocks are just 40 minutes away, Flagstaff is a short drive north, and the Grand Canyon is within reach for a day trip.



Whether you’re here to relax under the pines, hit the trails, or explore the surrounding wonders, Munds Park offers the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure.



Getting Around:

The best way to explore Flagstaff and the surrounding Northern Arizona attractions is by car. While Flagstaff does have public transit and ride-share options, many of the area’s highlights—such as the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Snowbowl, Walnut Canyon, and countless hiking trails—are easiest to reach when you have your own vehicle. A car allows you to enjoy the flexibility of mountain drives, day trips, and exploring at your own pace. Streets are easy to navigate, and most destinations offer convenient parking. We do recommend a car with 4WD/AWD during extreme winter conditions.



Other Things to Note:

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $65 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.



Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include:

Early Check-in - $25/hr



Early check-in is subject to availability at the sole discretion of the host.

Early check-in availability is determined on the day of arrival.



Late Check-Out Policy

We kindly ask all guests to adhere to our check-out time as we are unable to accommodate late check-outs. This allows us sufficient time to prepare the property for the next guests and maintain our high standards of cleanliness and readiness. Guests who stay beyond our standard check-out time of 10:00 AM will incur a fee of $50 per hour. This charge helps offset the disruption to our cleaning schedule, ensuring the property is ready and welcoming for incoming guests.



No pets or emotional support animals are allowed. According to Airbnb policy, emotional support animals are considered the same as pets. Service animals are allowed.



Snow & Winter Weather Policy



Flagstaff experiences significant winter weather, and we want to ensure our guests are well-prepared for snow-related conditions. Please read this policy carefully, as it outlines what is covered and what is not regarding cancellations, travel disruptions, and snow management during your stay.



What IS Covered (Eligible for Refunds/Rescheduling)



The following events qualify for cancellation or rescheduling outside of our standard cancellation policy:



1. Government-Mandated Travel Restrictions

✅ If a government agency issues a mandatory road closure or evacuation order that prevents access to the property.

✅ This must be an official order, not just a recommendation or travel advisory.



2. Large-Scale Utility Outages

✅ If a prolonged power, water, or heating outage occurs due to winter storms, impacting the majority of homes in the area.

✅ Minor disruptions or short-term outages that are common during storms do not qualify.

If one of these covered events occurs, guests may be eligible for a refund, rescheduling, or a credit for a future stay, at our discretion.



What is NOT Covered (Standard Cancellation Policy Applies)



The following situations are not covered by this policy, meaning refunds or rescheduling will not be granted unless they fall under our normal cancellation policy:



1. Personal Travel Issues Due to Weather

❌ If snow or ice makes it difficult for you to drive but roads remain open.

❌ Flight delays, cancellations, or rental car unavailability due to weather.

❌ Choosing not to travel because of a snowstorm or potential bad weather.



2. Lack of Proper Vehicle Equipment

❌ Guests are responsible for ensuring they have a 4WD/AWD vehicle and snow chains (when required).

❌ If you are unable to reach the property due to inadequate vehicle preparation, this will not be grounds for a refund.



3. Local Snow Accumulation or Plowing Delays

❌ Our team will ensure the driveway and main pathways are cleared before check-in. However, additional snowfall during your stay is not a covered event.

❌ Plowing schedules are subject to weather conditions, and delays in plowing are not eligible for refunds.



Guest Responsibilities



Travel with a 4WD/AWD vehicle and carry snow chains if required.

Check weather and road conditions before departing for your trip.

Be prepared to shovel walkways or vehicles if snow falls during your stay (shovels are provided).

Contact us if you experience any issues so we can assist with local resources.



Final Notes



Landscaping, trash pickup, and spa maintenance (if applicable) may take place during your stay. These routine services help keep the property in top condition and should not cause any disruption.



By booking, guests acknowledge and accept this Snow & Winter Weather Policy and understand that refunds outside of our cancellation policy are at the host's discretion.

If you have any questions or concerns before or during your stay, please reach out.
