Thoughtful and modern comforts on a peaceful ranch

Summary:
We offer our 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Ranch Bungalow, as your getaway base on our small family ranch. The unassuming cottage exterior contains modern amenities in a quiet, climate-controlled environment with Cal-King Tuft & Needle beds + full kitchen. There is room to “work-from-where you are”, while others enjoy the common area or outside patio. Our property (Horse Feathers Ranch) is ~15 acres with both West Sedona and Cottonwood only ~15 driving minutes away and wineries closer.

The Space:
Whether you have a jam-packed adventure planned or just need to get away, this Ranch Bungalow provides a base to relax away from it all and enjoy some down time with friends or family on our property. It is a small, but mighty 2 bedroom 1 bathroom space. The sleep experience is assisted by two Tuft & Needle queen beds with pillows and linens provided. One bedroom set-up is a master bedroom-style with a small walk-in closet. The smaller second bedroom set-up is a queen in a daybed-style layout with a standing armoire for clothes storage. Bed-side plugs and USB-ports are present for a nightly recharge of your devices. Every guest bedroom contains wash, hand, and body towels. Basic CO Bigelow toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, and body lotion) are provided.

We are in a rural area, but still have wireless internet service (150/15) available and the house television comes equipped with a Netflix subscription accessed via the Roku service. Prime Video and Pandora access is available via Roku, so you can link into your personal subscription. Weather, PBS and PBS Kids are on the selection menu too. WiFi network access information will be provided in welcome communication prior to check-in.

The front entry patio has a couple of tables with chairs, where you can sit and listen to nature. With the immediate proximity of the Bubbling Ponds preserve, colorful birds can be found seasonally around the house and the local area has been noted by the Northern Arizona Audubon Society that helps maintain viewing platforms in the nearby sanctuary.

Upon entry, there is a dining nook to the right as well as a activity/lounging area to the left. Besides the Internet’s compelling selection of shows, the house also contains a library of books, some easy puzzles, and games to try.

If dining in is your interest, the Ranch Bungalow provides a 4 burner electric range with oven for your indoor chef and a propane BBQ for your outdoor grill chief. There are some basic pots, pans, plates, cups, and utensils for your use. A dishwasher helps with clean-up, and please note that there is washer/dryer with this house across the patio.

In the event that you need items for very small guests such as a pack and play crib, high chair, extra towels or throw blankets, these can be made available upon request. Please note that we try to use removable outlet covers on all outlets near floor level.

Outside parking is just outside the front door. Oversized vehicle parking (including RV-sized vehicles or trailers) may be able to be accommodated with advance notice.

When your stay is confirmed, you will receive a welcome packet to help with your planning.

Getting Around:
The route to Horse Feathers Ranch involves a drive on Page Springs Road, which is the first Scenic / Historic Road named in Yavapai County, and next to the Page Springs Fish Hatchery.

Please note there is little public transportation and ride share or taxi options are very limited.

Other Things to Note:
What sets the Rental Property apart from other short-term rentals is that it is part of a small, living, breathing ranch. We encourage you to explore and enjoy the ranch grounds. The Cathedral Lodge is part of Horse Feathers Ranch, which comprises of ~15 acres that can be experienced by guests.

We ask that you refrain from entering those areas restricted to ranch staff. Likewise, please note that there may be ranch hands and other staff onsite during the day. Typical ranch working hours are _7:00 am_ to _6 pm_, daily. You are welcome to interact with ranch staff, although please recognize that their chief responsibility is to ensure the safe operation of the ranch (including the health and care of its animals).

Due to our rural location, you may seasonally find javelina, deer, elk, rabbits, coyote, and other animals common to the Verde Valley region of Arizona in the morning and evening hours. Please remember to keep your distance.
