Montezuma Dark Sky Retreat, Near Sedona! Located in Rimrock, AZ! - Laura Ln -

Welcome to Laura Lane, a peaceful, off-the-beaten path home just 35 minutes from Sedona, ideally located between Montezuma Well and Montezuma Castle!

This is your ideal basecamp for exploring the best of the region: red rock hikes in Sedona, ancient cliff dwellings at Montezuma Castle, kayaking on the Verde River, and wine tasting in nearby Cornville. After a full day out, return to quiet desert evenings and some of the darkest skies in Arizona. Set in a rural, unpaved high-desert neighborhood (part of what keeps it peaceful and star-filled), this Santa Fe–style home offers space to unwind and recharge.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat blends clean, contemporary interiors with warm Southwestern touches. The open living area features comfortable leather seating, a flat-screen TV, and a traditional kiva fireplace (display only), with plenty of space to gather, plan tomorrow’s adventures, or unwind in the evenings.

The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals at home, with an adjoining dining table for six. Or head outside to the private back patio to grill and dine under some of the darkest skies in the region — you’re in one of the best areas in the U.S. for Milky Way viewing on clear nights.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Laura Lane comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests!
The Primary master bedroom has a queen bed and en-suite bathroom. 
The Second guest bedroom has a queen sized bed.
The Third guest bedroom has two twin beds. 
The Second full bathroom is shared by the guest bedrooms.

An ideal layout for couples, families, and small groups looking for a peaceful launch point to explore the Verde Valley and Sedona area!

Pets are allowed with a nonrefundable $200 pet fee per pet (up to 2) - Must disclose the pet(s) upfront at the time of inquiring/booking - If any unauthorized pet(s) is found in the property, a $1,000.00 penalty will be assessed to the Guest(s) per pet.

This was a lovely property in a quiet neighborhood. It's about a 20 minute drive from the start of Sedona, but we enjoyed being outside the hustle and bustle. There is good hiking and great small eateries nearby, and you are not far from multiple wineries if that is your thing! Also, if you are like me and love visiting libraries, the adorable local library is just a 10 minute walk from the house!

Beautiful Adobe

Beautiful home. My daughter and I stayed in this comfortable home while we hiked in and around Sedona. The home was extremely clean and well appointed with cooking implements. The beds had nice linens on them and were very comfortable. We liked staying outside of Sedona where there was peace and quiet. It was easy to get into the home when checking in as well as leaving upon check out day. We had a fantastic stay.

This property is beautifully maintained and has the amenities you need for a vacation. The only setback is that the neighborhood roads are unpaved dirt roads with various pot holes large and small. There were areas where the road was flooded and you could not get through.

Great VRBO find!

We knew we selected a nice house but upon arrival the house exceeded our expectations. Heated bathroom floors! Having come from camping in 12 degree lows at grand canyon the night before we were feeling pampered in this house 😆

Great place.

Great property and a great house. I was slightly concerned by the “turn off onto the h paved road” but that’s just Arizona. The house is great. It was very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and it has a great backyard. Checking in was a breeze and there were a lot of amenities not even mentioned, like heated bathroom floors. This property is well run. I would definitely recommend it for anyone staying in this area over staying on a hotel.

A great relaxing stay

We enjoyed the Rimrock Retreat. The house is relaxing, there was plenty of room for my family, and we really liked the location. We had a lot of nature around us--and it was our first time checking out Montezuma's Castle, something I probably wouldn't have even thought of doing if we hadn't stayed so close to its location. The drive to Sedona and the surrounding hiking trails wasn't bad, and it was nice to have some downtime by watching various shows on the Hulu apps. (We had a few days with stormy weather) I highly recommend staying at the Rimrock house!

Great Property Close to Sedona, AZ

This is a great property off the beaten path. The house was super clean and very well updated. Lots of extra amenities were included. The house was located close to Sedona in a small rural community. The only issue was the unpaved road to get to the property. Loved the house!

Great place Far From Sedona

This house was absolutely beautiful! The house was decorated very modern and it had so many amenities for the kitchen and bathroom. It had a great patio space to drink your morning coffee. I will say if you are planning your trip to go hiking and and go out an about in Sedona, this place is not it. The popular hikes of Sedona such as cathedral rock and devils bridge were a 45 minute drive and there was not much around the neighborhood to eat or shop for groceries. Most places were about a 30-40 minute drive away. For a short trip this place might not be ideal, but for a longer trip it could work. Other than the distance the house was really great, clean, and homey.

Five star Accomodations!!!

This house is in the perfect central location if you want to be able to go to wineries in Cottonwood, North to Sedona or day trip to Flagstaff. The best part of our stay was the extra thought the owners put it to comfort in this house. Heated bathroom floors, the thickest, softest towells I have ever used, comfortable beds with great linens. Everthing was very clean, and decorated well. Top of the line and we all apreciated it!
