I canNOT begin to say enough nice things about this place! This place has a unique charm unlike any other. The little details. I just don't know how to put it all into words. This home was perfect in so many ways. From the beautiful deck, to the multiple door making it easy to go in and out without waking anyone up, the ceiling fans, the little night lights placed strategically around the house, the peaceful ambiance. I really could go on and on, but hopefully, you get the idea that THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Susan was better than fantastic in responding and taking care of everything.

Host's response:

Thank you Crystal for your wonderful review! We are so glad you chose the Scholar's House for your holiday and were able to experience just how beautiful and unique this retreat atop a hill can be. You were truly a wonderful group and we look forward to hosting you again.

This is a lovely gem to stay at. It was quiet and peaceful. The sunset views are beautiful from the property, so make sure you watch at least one sunset from the deck. The place was clean and as described. Susan was a great host!

Thank you Samreem, we were so happy to host you and your family, and are happy you got to see a wonderful sunset and a clear night full of stars!

This place is an absolute gem! Our family of 4 were so happy and comfortable here during our time exploring the area over Spring Break. We really appreciated all the amenities and little details to make your stay feel like home away from home, from plenty of towels, to a welcome basket with snacks, well-appointed bathrooms, and comfy beds with lush blankets. The view from the porch is stunning, particularly at sunset, and there was lots of interesting reading material about the area in the house. We found the location to be very convenient to Sedona and surrounding sites of interest, while being far enough removed from the crowds to feel like a very peaceful escape. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Host's response:

Liz! What a lovely and gracious review of the Scholars House. You perfectly captured the convenience to so much and yet the serenity and peace of being away from it all! We are looking forward to welcoming you back!

I stayed here with my friend and daughter during spring break. From beginning to end Susan was so accommodating. She left us snacks, puzzles and games. Oh and a local wine-so good. The place was so cute. The decor and the view was amazing. We took in a little sun with wine at the patio, and star gazed at night from the patio. This was well worth the stay and we would definitely stay here again. By far, the best airbnb. Janet A from Chicago

Host's response:

Janet we are so happy you enjoyed your spring break stay! Thank you for being a wonderful guest! Hoping you can come back again.
