The Neighborhood:
Located in the heart of Red Rock Loop in Southwest Sedona, this area boasts the most stunning views in the entire city. Visiting this part of town is at the top of every tourist guide and local recommendation. Even still, it typically has less crowds and fewer people than the other areas of Sedona.
If you think of Sedona as an upside Y with the arms leading away towards Cottonwood and the Village of Oak Creek and the stem leading towards Flagstaff, we are in the middle of the two arms beside some of Sedona's most iconic landmarks. The 89A leads from Cottonwood through Sedona to Flagstaff (and beyond) and we are just south of the highway in the heart of red rock country.
Just 10 minutes from town and 5 minutes off the highway on the Red Rock Loop Scenic Drive, it's amazing how transformative our neck of the woods is. Peaceful and serene, this neighborhood makes you feel like you're away from it all, without actually having to be.
Villa Vortex is located just off of the world-famous Red Rock Loop. The road winds through iconic landmarks and spectacular scenery. We end up taking a photo of the views at least every-other-time we drive home (truthfully, it never gets old!).
Our property is on a quiet, private road. You will have to drive about 100 feet down compacted dirt to make it to our paved driveway (our Prius and our neighbor's Prius make it no problem).
Speaking of neighbors, we do have a few, though we often forget when in the privacy of our estate. We have a couple families nearby and occasionally you will see the young kids playing in their yards when coming to and from the house. One of our neighbors also has horses which we occasionally hear "neigh" in the distance.
There are several SPECTACULAR hikes, swimming holes and parks near the house. Red Rock State Park is ideal for casual strolls and hiking while Crescent Moon State Park has the most amazing swimming holes and our favorite vortex in Sedona. Both are within biking distance from the house!
There are many, many more trails, attractions and vistas along Red Rock Loop (and we have a list if you're interested!).
Sedona is an International Dark Sky community, which means we are required to limit outdoor lighting. We do have some lighting near the front door, on our driveway, and in our patio and pool, but it is minimal. As a result, it can be tricky to see outside at night, but the stargazing is unparalleled! It is truly spectacular to spot shooting stars over the silhouette of Cathedral Rock from our balcony!
Getting around:
To get around Sedona you will need a car (or you will need to be a very avid cycler!). We are on the northern end of Sedona and you can easily drive to a plethora of stunning hikes, walks, parks and swimming holes in just five minutes. It takes about 10 minutes to get to town, and the drive is so beautiful you won't even notice!
But, if you DO happen to be a cycler or mountain biker, you can EASILY ride from the house to the countless trails nearby, or you may just find that Red Rock Loop is the ideal road to ride!
We have weekly services to maintain our outside space (pool cleaning and gardening). We try to schedule these services for the middle of the week, in the middle of the day, when we are unlikely to have bookings or disturb guests. However, our team takes great pride in maintaining our yard (beauty is not always 100% au natural after all). Occasionally our gardeners and pool man have to switch their days (due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances)... and they may not always tell us. You are welcome to decline their services if you are there when they are... but please note that they may access the yard without prior notice, because while beautification is their strength, texting is not. We also get propane delivered (so the house can have a gas stove, heater, dryer, etc.) and we have trash collection on Monday mornings. Please allow these service workers access... they are necessary for our home to continue functioning. By booking this home, you are agreeing to these terms and acknowledge that entering the yard for these services is not considered entering the "private residence". We will NEVER enter the home without written consent from our guests. If you have any questions, please reach out.
