What a fantastic stay! The schoolhouse is such a fun place. The beds were super comfy and clean. The shower was fantastic with excellent water pressure. The whole room was very clean and accommodating. Wendy was so kind and helpful. My kids loved playing in the game/music/antique room and they learned what a record player is. :) Honestly such a great deal and walking distance to the park for the kids and they LOVED the park. This was the perfect spot for exploring the Sedona & Jerome areas.

Clarkdale schoolhouse

Absolutely unique, eclectic, and wonderful! We stayed for 3 days and wished for more. If booking here (highly recommend!) just know it is an old building with creaky floorboards and a cookoo clock…light sleepers come prepared. Easily overcomable with white noise app.

Great home base when visiting the area!

I was expecting an eclectic mix of styles and wasn't disappointed. Wendy has done a great job of converting an old schoolhouse. The only thing the pictures couldn't show is really how spacious the unit is. My uncle, who is a ham radio operator in the area, made it a big topic over the air the next day!
