What a great stay in the beautiful city of Sedona. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Sedona is, but our stay was amazing due to Clara’s home being so beautiful as well. Pristine home. With two little ones, Clara’s home felt like our home away from home. Everything was perfect. Great communication from Clara. Amazing views from the main room. Super comfortable beds and everything was so clean. The views are perfect. We will definitely be back!

Usama A - Posted: 2/19/2025

Really loved our stay!

Vicki N - Posted: 2/18/2025

Clara's place was such a perfect "home base" for our stay in Sedona. It was removed enough from very touristy areas while still being very close to everything. You can walk to the shuttle or whole foods. Most things were very short drives as well! The house was truly beautiful. Staying there in January we were able to have the fireplace on and just enjoy the ambience of the red rocks. The house is plenty big, large living room for gathering. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Katie P - Posted: 1/26/2025

Clara’s place is such a gem in the heart of west Sedona! It’s beautiful, spacious, clean and just a gorgeous stay overall. There are tons of grocery stores and trails close by. Would love to come back!

Leah S - Posted: 1/13/2025

Aboslutley gorgeous house in a quiet neighborhood; beautifully decorated with local artisanal ware; and special views as well. Attention to detail in all matters and communications proactive and clear. As a fellow super-host I was so impressed! I want to go back.

Anastasia O - Posted: 1/8/2025

Beautiful retreat with stunning from almost every window in the house. Very clean and tidy!

Social M - Posted: 11/14/2024

We really enjoyed the house and the neighborhood. We walked to Whole Foods and a few places to eat. All the trailheads we wanted to get to were a short drive from us and one was close enough to walk. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet and we felt very safe. The house was exactly as shown and we loved coming home to hang out in front of the fireplace. We grilled out one night and enjoyed the fire table another night. The kitchen was well stocked and we made breakfast every morning. We had a few questions after we arrived and Clara got back to us quickly. We would definitely stay here again!

Michele Z - Posted: 11/9/2024

We used the home as a base for hiking, day trips, and restaurants. It is a nice quiet neighborhood with access to uptown, West Sedona, and Oak Creek Canyon. The home had all the amenities that we needed. We would definitely recommend for families looking to enjoy the beauty of Sedona and the Verde Valley.

Karl W - Posted: 10/28/2024

We had such a lovely stay! This home is spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved the comfy beds, super clean bathrooms, walking distance to Whole Foods and the fire pit for quiet evenings outdoors. Clara was super responsive and it was such a breeze to check in and out. Can’t wait to return!

Gina V - Posted: 10/10/2024

We had an amazing stay! The place was extremely comfortable, and the nights were magical with the opportunity to stargaze. The hosts were very accommodating and made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this spot for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Lian X - Posted: 7/19/2024

Beautiful home located within walking distance to shopping and short driving distance to trails / attractions. We felt right at home. Best experience on Airbnb to date!

Ernesto O - Posted: 6/24/2024

This property was amazing. From the booking, to the check-in, to the check-out -each step was seamless. I must say I was overwhelmed by the views. The home was furnished to perfection. The stargazing and early morning coffee on the terrace. I cannot wait to book another stay in this amazing property Thanks for sharing your Sedona home!! It was a special visit.

Victoria G - Posted: 6/19/2024

Great place! I recommend it for the location (walkable to trails and restaurants) and the extraordinary views. The house is very well furnished and maintained.

Joshua D - Posted: 5/29/2024

Spacious, clean, comfortable, well equipped home with beautiful views in a quiet neighborhood. Centrally located in West Sedona, close to scenic hikes, grocery stores, pharmacies and restaurants. Clara Brechtel, the host, is extremely responsive when issues arise. Would highly recommend!

Darshana W - Posted: 5/28/2024

House was clean, really nicely decorated/designed, and well equipped (with a firepit, stereo, coffee maker etc). And in great location. Check-in/out was easy. One of the best home rentals i've stayed in.

Stuart M - Posted: 5/21/2024

Beautiful house and location was wow!

Joanna L - Posted: 5/20/2024

Everything is perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will do it again soon.

Frankie V - Posted: 5/13/2024

We enjoyed this beautiful home. Gret location, quiet neighborhood, comfy beds, and a very responsive host.

Karen F - Posted: 5/10/2024

Great for a family gathering with our adult kids. The location, views and layout were perfect. Highly recommended.

Tom H - Posted: 5/7/2024

Clara’s house is beautiful. It was spacious and inviting, and felt homey without being cluttered. Super well-located for walking to some local trailheads for hikes. We loved every minute of our stay here!

Vanessa N - Posted: 5/1/2024

My wife and I enjoyed 8 magical days/nights at the Yavapai Retreat in Sedona. Our host, Clara, was responsive to our needs and the property and location for our stay was absolutely perfect. The house was clean, fresh and tidy and the views showcasing the red rock from both inside and out were absolutely stunning. The property is located only seconds off the hustle and bustle of SR 89 yet is only minutes away from the many restaurants, stores and attractive trailheads that active people enjoy.

John W - Posted: 4/23/2024

The house was spacious and well equipped, it everything we needed for a pleasant visit. The beds were very comfortable. The scenic views from the living room and back yard were beautiful. The gas fireplaces and the fire pit in the back yard made the stay even more comfortable. We enjoyed our time in these accommodations.

Roland G - Posted: 4/10/2024

We loved staying in this home so much in 2023, we decided to come back in 2024 for spring break. The home is spacious, wonderful views, and the beds and linens are very comfy, which makes a huge difference. The location is fantastic, plenty of nearby conveniences but also great access to hiking and all the outdoor actives you want to do in Sedona. Clara is a great host and very responsive. We loved it!

Bill W - Posted: 4/1/2024

The property was beautiful! Our family loved Sedona and this house was perfect. Location is amazing - close to everything! The art/decor and cleanliness of the home was impressive. Strongly recommend!

Nicole M - Posted: 3/28/2024

Loved staying here. It was comfortable and the place felt up to date rather than having all outdated furniture. Location was also perfect and loved the views of the surrounding areas.

Lauren G - Posted: 3/25/2024

Simply put: one of the best AirBnB’s I’ve stayed ! Beautiful home, amazing views, my family of 4 felt super comfortable as soon as we walked in. Great location in West Sedona - easy to get around and within minutes of uptown. Clara was a wonderful host - clear directions and responsive. Truly enjoyed our time here.

Karen T - Posted: 3/23/2024

Clara’s place was amazing—exactly as pictured and described. The views from the living room and bedrooms were breathtaking. The space was very clean, light-filled, and well-appointed. The neighborhood was lovely, quiet, and within walking distance of restaurants and Whole Foods. Well worth it. And Clara was very responsive to all requests and questions. Would definitely book Clara’s place again if back in Sedona. Thanks, Clara!

Claire L - Posted: 3/11/2024

Great location in Sedona. Beautiful house spacious for a group of friends. Very and super well kept.

Marina G - Posted: 3/4/2024

Clara’s place has phenomenal views and in an excellent location. What isn’t listed in the description is how close this is to the Mesa Airport Vortex and the Mesa Grill Sedona! Not sure we were supposed to walk up to the Vortex area, but we did, and it was only maybe a 10 minute walk. The location was excellent, easy to get into the Uptown area but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Walkable to Whole Foods and an excellent Italian Cafe for lunch or dinner or drinks! The home itself was so inviting, clear of clutter, beautiful decor, and stunning views. Even had a pair of binoculars for star gazing! Could not recommend this home enough.

Ruth S - Posted: 2/24/2024

The home is just as described but better in person! The living room was the highlight of our trip, the dreamy views of the mountains from the sofa was incredible and just perfect for a relaxing weekend. Clara, is friendly and helpful. The beds were all king and super comfy! Rare find! My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay and we can’t wait to return! Thank you for hosting us!

Brenda B - Posted: 2/21/2024

Great property and location!

Marcus J - Posted: 2/19/2024

The property is clean, comfortable, cozy and in a great location. Landlord responded quickly. Very satisfied with the accommodation.

Janet C - Posted: 2/14/2024

We had a Magical time and loved that the home had three King beds. Well equipped and great bath products. Would recommend staying here ????

Dorianne B - Posted: 2/8/2024

Absolutely beautiful home. Very spacious, peaceful, comfortable and well appointed. The views from every room are stunning. A very special place in magical Sedona.

Tracy F - Posted: 1/30/2024

Would highly recommend this place! It was clean, spacious and the beds/pillows SO comfortable. The space is bright, airy, and the views spectacular. Clara was so responsive and helpful with all our questions, great host. Location is close enough to main town but also in a nice quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Grocery stores close by and views everywhere you turn.

Ashley M - Posted: 1/21/2024

Clara's place was a perfect peaceful escape with everything you need to feel right at home. Close to everything. The views were stunning from the living room and some of the other rooms too! Star gazed by the fireplace to end our evenings! Very clean, fully stocked kitchen, grill outside. Only note is the water is on a cycle so hot water was a hit or miss when time to shower or bathe. I did address it with Clara, so I'm sure that will be all set for future guests! Highly recommend staying here.

Leticia L - Posted: 1/20/2024

We loved our rental home and hope to be back soon. Clara was great and everything was exactly like the pictures. Beautiful views, clean, easy access and clear instructions on in and out of the property. Highly recommended and a great price for what you get especially a big house like this with so much room to enjoy Sedona. Just beautiful!

Daniela T - Posted: 1/18/2024

The home was beautiful and larger than it looked in the pictures. The host had all the amenities we could need. We will definitely come back again.

Bonnie L - Posted: 1/15/2024

Home much better than pictures - very clean and spacious. Clara was always available - even on New Years Eve! Thoroughly recommend!

Aileen H - Posted: 1/9/2024

This home was the perfect cozy base for our Sedona adventures. The location truly can’t be beat, it’s in a quiet neighborhood that is very close to grocery stores and restaurants as well as the Airport Mesa. The beautiful fireplace in the living room is flanked by tall windows with views of the stunning red rocks. For those wondering about layout, the master bedroom is on the opposite end of the house from the other two bedrooms which worked out perfectly for us. Communication with the host was seamless and easy, we couldn’t have asked for more!

Rick B - Posted: 1/9/2024

Our family spent a fabulous week at Clara's place (parents and adult children). Everyone agreed that it was a terrific house and we were very glad that we chose to stay there. The location is perfect - you can walk around the quiet neighborhood and easily access a few nearby trails. But you don't have to deal with the traffic of uptown Sedona every time you want to go somewhere. The house itself was clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. There's lots of space to work remotely, read, watch tv, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a generous selection of cooking spices and there's plenty of room to have multiple cooks at the same time. We all loved staying here! Thank you, Clara!

Stephanie F - Posted: 12/30/2023

Better than the pics! Convenient location for hikes and exploring yet close to restaurants and shopping.

Jen R - Posted: 12/18/2023

Clara’s home was inviting and felt like home. The three bedrooms with king size beds gave us great flexibility with our little ones, as sleeping in an unfamiliar location can take some adjustment. The space was open, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Clara herself was a proactive host and provided details well I n advance. I would definitely stay here again.

Sara B - Posted: 12/11/2023

We LOVED our stay here. Cozy, clean— the back yard was fab. The fireplace was a perfect addition to cozy around and rest after a day of hiking! Amazing location & we definitely hope to stay again!

Jenni S - Posted: 12/4/2023

Couldn’t have asked for a better location or a better home to stay in! Truly breathtaking view and beautifully designed an decorated house. My family had a lovely time here.

Shalini R - Posted: 11/20/2023

This is a beautiful place, quiet and supremely clean. We had a great time cooking and relaxing for three days with beautiful views. It is very close to the airport so private pilot cross country fly ins are perfect. (The airport was very busy but well equipped and everyone was respectful.) It is very easy to settle in to and to make a home away from home. The place has great views of the rock formations, very nice neighbors, and is accessible to everything in Sedona that we needed. The house was well stocked with basic needs and made spontaneous cooking very easy, just like home. Our hosts were accommodating, responsive, and very respectful and we appreciate everything they provided.

Beth M - Posted: 11/15/2023

Beautiful place, from the surroundings to the great decor. We really enjoyed the house and the fact that multiple hikes can be walked to from the house. There was also a wonderful open shared space that we took advantage of. Fast wifi was perfect for those of us who needed to work (and take video calls). Check out instructions were very reasonable too.

Hannah Y - Posted: 11/13/2023

We could have the very very nice time!! The house was super clean and big!! I recommend to stay this wonderful house!

Hirohashi Y - Posted: 11/1/2023

Great house with breath taking views

Mackenson E - Posted: 10/29/2023

Lovely home in the lovely town of Sedona. Would love to keep coming back to this house as I felt right at home.

Jorge G - Posted: 10/24/2023

Our stay at Clara's place was great! WE loved the location and especially loved how close it was to our favorite restaurants, Mariposa and Mesa Grill. We enjoyed sitting outside watching the sunsets. We recommend Clara's place because it was close to downtown but far enough to still enjoy some peace and quiet. We loved how close grocery stores, restaurants and other amenities were to the house. Clara's home is very comfy and welcoming, you feel right at home as soon as you enter the house.

Yolanda M - Posted: 10/20/2023

This home was beautiful and absolutely perfect. There is plenty of room to relax and connect, the beds and bedding were very comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed to prepare and share meals at home. Clara was accessible and very helpful. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Nanci L - Posted: 10/17/2023

I truly cannot say enough about this rental. We absolutely loved it. Exceeded our expectations. This place was very clean, light and airy, adorable style and decor, beautiful view (pictures can never do justice), had all amenities one would need, spacious, king sized cozy beds in all 3 rooms, large kitchen, cozy little fire pit outside, great books to read about the area, very close to uptown where all the shops are and the amazing restaurant mariposa (make reservations), also right by airport mesa you can probably hike there from the house. Clara was on standby with any questions, check in simple and clear, just all in all wonderful!!

Jona O - Posted: 10/11/2023

Our stay was perfect. Very much enjoyed our stay and the location was central for exploring the area. Lovely clean home too. So many special features from lighted displays, fans, fireplaces and fully equipped kitchen to private outdoor area. Spectacular

Carol Z - Posted: 10/6/2023

A wonderful location and very peaceful home with all the right unique touches to make you feel at home in Sedona. It's very easy to quickly get to fantastic hiking sites, too.

Julie N - Posted: 9/19/2023

Clara’s property is the best airbnb that I have ever stay in. Definitely recommend to stay!!!

Steven K - Posted: 9/4/2023

Thank you it was easy and clean.

Migalito D - Posted: 8/14/2023

We will definitely be back!

Dylan M - Posted: 7/31/2023

WONDERFUL!!!! Don’t hesitate. I like Boujie authentic places. This was it! Great views, private verandas, and comfortable beds ;)

Christine J - Posted: 7/14/2023

The accommodation is located in very convenient place in West Sedona. You can easily access to airport and Airport Mesa as well. House is spacy, clean and silent. All 3 beds are comfortable and all my family could sleep very well. Having wine at beautiful main living room was best time during our travel.

Takeshi N - Posted: 7/4/2023

This is the most beautiful Airbnb we’ve stayed at. The master bedroom and large living room give that sense of luxury and home comfort all in one. Other bedrooms and bathroom were also great. Perfect for a family stay and highly recommended!

Stephen D - Posted: 6/29/2023

Had a lovely time at Clara’s home. The location was super convenient to explore Sedona and the surroundings from. The place looks even better in person. It’s decorated beautifully, spacious, very well equipped, super clean, and in a peaceful neighborhood. Honestly this is one of the nicest AirBnB’s we’ve experienced and would not hesitate to stay there again. As a host, Clara was very attentive and proactive, reaching out to make sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything.

Richard J - Posted: 6/23/2023

Yacapai Retreat was a gorgeous home with unmatchable surroundings, beautiful interior, and well-considered accommodations. We were quite comfortable and felt at home during our stay. Clara was friendly and responsive. Definitely 5-star quality but it needs some maintenance concerns addressed. Thank you for the warm welcome and excellent ambience.

Jennifer S - Posted: 6/19/2023

Clara was a very responsive and helpful host, the home is beautiful, and it’s a great location. Would recommend this home for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway with gorgeous views and tasteful decor!

Rachel R - Posted: 6/18/2023

We were comfortable, had really good access to everything we needed, especially Whole food! We were really impressed with how beautiful it was!! Very clean as well!

Justin G - Posted: 6/2/2023

Beautiful home! Tastefully decorated and wonderful views. Would highly recommend.

Mo Z - Posted: 5/30/2023

Home was beautiful. Off the beaten path (tourist strip) yet 20 minutes away from several beautiful trails to hike or a short drive to the main strip. Bonus it was pretty dark outside so you could see the stars. The four of us fit comfortably with an extra room to spare. We will be back.

Mauricio B - Posted: 5/25/2023

Had a wonderful stay in Sedona due in large part to the wonderful space provided by Clara. Peaceful area with super friendly neighbors!

Michael G - Posted: 5/10/2023

My traveling buddies said that I once again hit it out of the park when picking this property for our 3 night stay in Sedona. It's a wonderful, large space in a quiet, very nice West Sedona neighborhood that is close to the main road, 89a. The living and sleeping accommodations were excellent. Nice views! Beds were comfy and the bathrooms spotless and well stocked with towels, soaps. We were very happy with Clara's place.

Alan D - Posted: 5/5/2023

Beautiful property, fabulous location, amazing views! Walkable to restaurants, shopping, Whole Foods, this house has it all! Totally recommend this property and Clara as a host!!!

Donna F - Posted: 5/2/2023

We absolutely loved Clara’s beautiful home! It was the perfect place to come back to after a day of hiking and exploration. Peaceful, cozy, well designed. Clara was so helpful and responsive. Would definitely come back!

Tracy M - Posted: 4/3/2023

We loved the accommodations. Really top notch! We would choose this lovely home again and again!

Cheryl H - Posted: 4/2/2023

Came to Sedona for a girls trip and this place was PERFECT! As soon as we all walked in- we were in awe of how beautiful the place was. The location was also great and central to downtown and all the good hikes in the area. Can’t say enough amazing things!

Bobbi F - Posted: 3/21/2023

The rental was in a beautiful location with a great view. Our whole family found the house to be very comfortable. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. Thank you!

Kelly G - Posted: 3/6/2023

Perfect home base for visiting Sedona. We had everything we needed and more. Beds were very comfortable we loved having the fireplace going. The views can't be beat!

Caroline L - Posted: 3/2/2023

This home is beautiful and ideally located. The views from the living room are breath-taking--parking is easy, the locale offers easy access to virtually everything the town offers, and renting this home proved to be a seamless, delightful experience. Perhaps the best part was Clara, who is communicative, immediately responsive and welcoming. I would recommend Clara & this home without reservation. Cathie Beck

Cathie@Cathiebeck.Com C - Posted: 2/25/2023

Amazing location - close to restaurants and many beautiful Sedona hikes. The house was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for 2-3 couples. It was beautifully decorated and we loved all the Arizona decor! Would love to visit Clara’s home again and would recommend to anyone!

Marisa B - Posted: 2/21/2023

Yavapai Retreat is incredible! A beautiful home surrounded by beautiful scenery in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood very accessible to everything in Sedona. The home is even better in person, it is immaculately clean, unique and one-of-a-kind art pieces, high end decor but still comfortable and cozy ! We will definitely come back to Sedona and stay here, it was so wonderful! Thank you Clara for your kindness and flexibility.

Jessica O - Posted: 2/11/2023

Beautiful house, clean, nice quality furniture, comfy beds, pristine, spacious, well equipped kitchen! No complaints :)

Emma G - Posted: 2/10/2023

Beautiful house, tastefully decorated, comfortable beds

Marie-Odile K - Posted: 2/10/2023

We had an amazing stay. The place is very comfortable, beautifully decorated, in a convenient location and has all the amenities. We hope to return soon! Great experience.

Nikki H - Posted: 2/1/2023

Yavapai Retreat was the perfect setting for our trip with our adult kids. It was great to have the 3 beds and baths, the location was perfect, I will recommend to my friends!

Julie K - Posted: 1/26/2023

What a wonderful Sedona home. We spent a full week here enjoying and exploring Sedona. It was everything we hoped for!

Chris W - Posted: 1/22/2023

Absolutely loved my stay at Clara’s house! I was in Sedona with my family for the holidays and Clara’s home was the perfect place for us. It’s in a really convenient location (right down the street from Whole Foods and about 10mins drive from the main town area) and has the most amazing view. The kitchen has all the essentials and the home is super cozy. Thank you Clara for a wonderful stay!

Cathleen Y - Posted: 1/13/2023

Loved our stay! The place was beautiful, a peaceful oasis, and clean. We loved the fireplace and all the beautiful details of the place. Definitely will be back!

Veronica J - Posted: 1/8/2023

Clara’s place was perfect! So serene and relaxing!

Shayna P - Posted: 1/3/2023

Beautiful place she has everything we need for our three night stay!

Sissi M - Posted: 12/31/2022

The bow itself was spectacular, but so was the view from the Great Room. The house was well set up to include trash bags, paper towels, dish towels, dishwater soap, spices and the variety of cookware, bakeware, kitchen prep was outstanding. You do not have to run to the grocery store for the household supplies, groceries YES. Sedona is a beautiful destination, but if you never left the property you would still come away with a wonderful experience!

Judi T - Posted: 12/28/2022

I really enjoyed at this beautiful house. The house also located in perfect location. it's very clean like 5 star hotel. Definitely my family will visit again.

?? ? - Posted: 12/16/2022

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Made for a wonderful experience.

Gerard S - Posted: 12/11/2022

Clara’s home was beautiful, centrally located and decorated to perfectly compliment the beauty of the red rocks.

Megan M - Posted: 12/6/2022

This was the perfect spot to spend our family Thanksgiving. Full kitchen, beautiful furniture, well decorated clean. Right in the center of Sedona so access to all activities. I am sharing this listing with all of my friends, because it turned out to be better than staying in the fancy resorts.

Jen S - Posted: 11/27/2022

As if Sedona is not beautiful and magical enough, this home enhanced our experience beyond our expectations. The picturesque windows bring in not only the red rocks but the stars. We actually saw shooting stars from the couch. The fire place is the centerpiece to the home and creates a living space we greatly enjoyed. We’ll definitely be back. The host was responsive, attentive and made sure we were right at home. Walking distance to good restaurants and Whole Foods. West Sedona is a better choice than uptown if you’re deciding between the 2. Thanks Clara. Epic stay.

Patrick P - Posted: 11/19/2022

Amazing location!! Great home - super clean! Cant wait to come back!

Amanda H - Posted: 11/13/2022

We had a great time at this home in Sedona! The property was beautiful and clean with stunning views of Sedona. The host was very attentive and a great communicator. Would recommend this amazing house to anyone looking for a luxury experience in Sedona!

Fariba Y - Posted: 10/11/2022

This house is everything you want in Sedona, it's big, gorgeous designed, in a great location (I hiked up the trail every morning!) with views, a working fireplace and the BEST beds I've ever had in an airbnb. The house is really well equipped, has great towels, a big yard and VERY fast wifi. I've been staying in multiple airbnb's and this is the most reliable wifi i've ever encountered. The communication with Clara was always quick and easy, and I felt very cared for.

Charlotte W - Posted: 8/31/2022

Our family had a wonderful week at Yavapai Retreat. The house has beautiful views and everything you need. We used the grill and fire pit several times. The location is great for hiking, restaurants and shopping. Clara was very fast with communicating and gave great recommendations for hiking.

Wendi B - Posted: 7/3/2022

An absolutely lovely stay for our family of five. Spacious, stunningly beautiful, and expertly furnished, the house was the perfectly centralized base camp location for adventures. Even had a pack and play for our little! Highly recommend, and we appreciated all the local tips and suggestions from Clara.

John D - Posted: 5/31/2022
