Private Pool, Spa & Rooftop Deck/Sleeps 10/Minutes to Trails | House in Sedona

A private pool in Sedona is a rarity, and a rooftop deck beneath certified dark‑sky heavens is rarer still. This modern five‑bedroom retreat on Sedona’s quiet west end offers both with room for ten guests across four king suites and one queen, along with sweeping red‑rock views, floor‑to‑ceiling windows, a full outdoor kitchen and hot tub. Its location upstream of the Y means you bypass Uptown’s morning traffic and reach Sedona’s most iconic trails with ease—Devil’s Bridge, Boynton Canyon, and Doe Mountain all branch off Dry Creek Road, while Crescent Moon Ranch and Red Rock State Park sit just down Red Rock Loop. Whole Foods and West Sedona’s best restaurants are minutes away, and on most clear mornings, hot‑air balloons drift past at eye level, welcoming you to another perfect day in the desert.
THE HOME
Five bedrooms, sleeps 10 — four king rooms and one queen, so nobody draws the short straw. One king room is set apart with the best views in the house.
Inside: an open great room with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the red rocks. The chef’s kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complete with a generous island that easily accommodates the whole group. Sonos speakers throughout the main living areas allow you to set the perfect atmosphere, while a dedicated workspace offers a quiet corner to step away. Central A/C keeps the home cool and comfortable—an essential luxury during Sedona’s warm months
The outdoor spaces are where this home truly comes alive;
The pool deck is a private oasis with loungers and a hot tub close at hand, perfect for slow mornings or refreshing afternoons.
The outdoor kitchen makes it easy to cook for a group without missing the sunset.
The fire pit becomes the natural gathering place as the desert air cools, offering warmth and conversation under Sedona’s crisp night sky.
The rooftop deck — the signature experience of the home. West‑facing for sunset and positioned beneath Sedona’s internationally recognized dark‑sky canopy, it’s a place where the Milky Way often appears without effort. In the early hours, hot‑air balloons rise from the Dry Creek side and drift past at eye level, creating a morning ritual you’ll want to repeat.
THE LOCATION
The home at the far west end of West Sedona — the quiet end, and the strategically useful one. You're on the west side of the 89A/179 junction, so you're not crossing the Y every time you leave the house.
GETTING AROUND WITHOUT A CAR
The W SR-89A Park & Ride is about a twelve-minute walk from the door, and the Sedona Shuttle runs free from there to Dry Creek Vista and Mescal — the trailheads for Devil’s Bridge. Free parking, free ride, no reservation, roughly every half hour from 7:00 AM, Thursday to Sunday.
Sedona Shuttle Connect will also collect you from the house on demand — $2 a ride, $1 over 60 — and run you to the trailhead lots, the shops, or dinner. Routes change seasonally and occasionally close for fire activity, so check sedonashuttle.com when you plan your days.
EASY WALKS — no hiking boots required
Not everyone wants a scramble. Sedona's best scenery is surprisingly accessible if you know where to go.
— Cultural Park Trailhead — under a mile from the door; you can walk to it. There's a short paved section at the start, and the views open up almost immediately.
— Crescent Moon Ranch / Red Rock Crossing — about a 10 minute drive. Flat, shaded, creekside walking to the single most photographed view in Sedona: Cathedral Rock reflected in Oak Creek. Picnic tables, restrooms, and swimming holes. (Small per-vehicle fee; the Red Rock Pass is not accepted here.)
— Red Rock State Park — about a 10 minute drive. Gentle interconnected loops along Oak Creek, well-marked, ranger-led walks, and noticeably quieter than the Forest Service trails.
— Fay Canyon — about a 15 minute drive. Roughly two miles round trip and nearly flat the whole way, with canyon walls on both sides. Skip the scramble at the end and it's a stroll.
— Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park — about a 5 minute drive. Short walking paths, red rock views, free. Quiet in a way the famous spots aren't.
— Chapel of the Holy Cross — about a 15 minute drive. Free, and a very short walk from the parking area. They keep loaner wheelchairs and walkers on hand and run a golf-cart shuttle from the lower lot, which makes it one of the few landmark views in Sedona genuinely reachable for guests with limited mobility.
— Sedona Heritage Museum — about a 13 minute drive. Pioneer homestead and orchard on level ground. A good low-effort afternoon.
FOR KIDS
— Sunset Park — about a 7 minute drive, and the best family park in town. Separate play structures for toddlers and older kids, a seasonal splash pad, basketball and tennis courts, big shaded lawns for picnics, a short paved walking loop, restrooms and water. Free.
— Posse Grounds Park — about a 9 minute drive. Newer playground, ten picnic ramadas with grills, a skate park, a dog park, and a disc golf course with red rock views.
— Ranger Station Park — about an 11 minute drive, near Tlaquepaque. A themed playground with a workout station and free parking — easy to combine with a shopping afternoon so the kids get a break.
— Slide Rock State Park — about 25–30 minute’s drive up Oak Creek Canyon. A natural sandstone water slide in the creek, and a genuine Sedona rite of passage. Two honest notes: the water runs cold (mid-50s even in summer), and the lot fills by mid-morning, so go early.
— Crescent Moon Ranch — also excellent with kids. Shallow creek, shade, and easy in-and-out of the water.
TLAQUEPAQUE — shopping, galleries, and dinner
About 12 minutes east: Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, built to feel like a Mexican colonial village — vine-covered stucco archways, cobbled walkways, courtyard fountains, and mature sycamores shading almost all of it. More than forty galleries and boutiques: fine art, handcrafted jewelry, Southwestern décor, clothing, a record and book shop.
It's the place we send guests when it's too hot to hike or the weather turns. Nearly everything is shaded or indoors, and you can spend three or four hours without planning a thing.
Eating there:
— The Secret Garden Cafe — breakfast through dinner on a garden patio under the trees. Vegan and gluten-free menus, which is genuinely useful with a mixed group.
— René at Tlaquepaque — the special-occasion room. French-Mediterranean, formal, excellent. Reserve ahead.
— Oak Creek Brewery & Grill — casual, local beer, easy with kids.
— Pump House Station — just across the road at Tlaquepaque North. Outstanding brunch; dinner Friday and Saturday only.
TRAILS — if you do want to earn it
— Thunder Mountain / Chimney Rock — about 6 minutes. Great short sunset hike, rarely crowded.
— Airport Mesa vortex and Scenic Lookout — about 8 minutes. Best sunset in Sedona that doesn't require a real hike.
— Devil's Bridge via Mescal Trailhead — about 12 minutes. Mescal is the smarter lot; go at sunrise.
— Boynton Canyon (vortex and Subway Cave) and Long Canyon — about 15 minutes up Dry Creek Road.
— Birthing Cave — about 15 minutes. Short, mostly flat, with one steep finish and a spectacular payoff.
— Doe Mountain — about 20 minutes. A mile and a half to a flat-topped mesa with 360° views. Enormous return for modest effort.
— Bear Mountain — about 20 minutes. The hard one. Five miles, serious climbing, and the best panorama in the region.
— Cathedral Rock — about 15 minutes.
A Red Rock Pass is required at most Forest Service trailheads. We'll send details before you arrive.
FOOD AND GROCERIES
— Whole Foods — about 7 minutes east on 89A. Closest full grocery; stock up on arrival.
— Vespa Healthy Italian — same plaza as Whole Foods. One of the highest-rated kitchens in town.
— Rascal — about 6 minutes. Modern American, good bar.
— EarthLove Organic Kitchen — about 7 minutes. Best breakfast on the west side.
— The Lisa Dahl restaurants. Sedona’s best-known chef has six restaurants and three of them are on your side of town:
Dahl & Di Luca — about 5 minutes. Her 1995 flagship, and still the room people book for an anniversary. Silk-draped, chandeliers, live jazz piano twice a week. Reserve ahead.
Pisa Lisa — about 5 minutes. Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, organic salads, house-made gelato. The easy one with a group, and the cheapest.
Mariposa — about 9 minutes. Latin-inspired grill on a bluff with 23-foot windows and the best dinner view in Sedona. Book the sunset seating well ahead;
— Elote Café — 12–15 minutes. Worth the reservation, and you will need one.
FARTHER AFIELD
— Uptown shops — about 15 minutes
— Sedona Airport, for scenic flights and helicopter tours — about 8 minutes
— Verde Valley wine country (Page Springs, Cornville) — about 30 minutes
