Both kitchens had all the amenities required to prepare meals. Home had 3 floors and ample room enough for family of 26 guests (including children age 10-infants) to be together or to spread out. Game room and bunk room were major hits for the kids. Beds were comfortable. Furniture and TVs were good. Views from many windows were spectacular. We were in Flagstaff for a wedding; the homeowners specified that "events" were allowed which gave us an opportunity to host a "rehearsal dinner" get together for the family and a few extra local family members. I would absolutely recommend this home for a large family stay.

Wonderful Home!

This home was perfect for our gathering of 20 family and friends to celebrate our daughter's wedding! Plenty of space for everyone, well-stocked home and very beautiful and comfortable.

Our stay at Ponderosa cabin

We had an amazing stay at this cozy cabin in Flagstaff! The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet close enough to downtown for dining and shopping. We especially loved the fireplace and outdoor seating area.

Heaven in Flagstaff

This was amazingly clean, well stocked, and beautiful. The neighborhood was very quiet and a quick drive to NAU, downtown Flagstaff. Many amazing restaurants are nearby and shopping in downtown Flagstaff is great! This property had enough room for our group of 11 and the game room was amazing. The hot tub was a welcome break in the evening after a day of shopping. The house was extremely clean and very comfortable! We hope to stay here again in the future.

Very Nice.

The Vrbo fixed nicely for our family of 25. The parking was tight (with trailers and Polaris) but we made it work. A few essentials were missing from the property (having a Vrbo in Phoenix myself) but the host promptly provided them to us. Also, a few minor flaws or repairs were needed which they were kind enough to resolve. It's a great place, close to stores and parks. We would book again!!!

Gathering Treeview

Our stay at the Gathering Tree home in Flagstaff was amazing. The home had ample space for large family and friend gatherings and fun amenities such as 2 hot tubs, a fire pit, pool table, foosebsll, and video games, making it the perfect venue for our son’s graduation from NAU. An additional bonus is it’s location, conveniently located near downtown Flagstaff, the NAU campus, and close to several shops and restaurants. We definitely would stay here again, probably in 2 more years for our other son’s NAU graduation, and highly recommend this property to others looking for a fun Flagstaff getaway!

Family Reunion

This was a great property for our family reunion. The game room, fire pit, and two hot tubs were fun hang-out areas for kids and adults. A grocery store down the road made it easy to grab food and beverages. Two kitchens, refrigerators in each room, and two washers and dryers were a plus. Flagstaff is a cute town with lots of restaurants. Sightseeing/hiking at Walnut Canyon, Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon, Grand Canyon, etc. etc. were easy drives from the house.

Exactly As Advertised

This was very well decorated and modern, and in a perfect location really close to NAU. We had a school choir group, and it was perfect. They had three floors, so the boys were upstairs, the girls were downstairs, and the chaperones were on the 2nd floor, which made supervision simple. Beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of space. The kids had a great time! I would only add that because there are three floors, and since neither of the two full kitchens are on the same floor as the dining room, you will be climbing up and down the stairs a lot. This was no problem for us, but if there are any accessibility concerns, this could be something to consider.

Family Ski Get-away

This property suited our large family for a short stay. There are two sets of long stairs that were a challenge for a roaming toddler, but we were able to set up blockades. The house was perfectly clean except for some dirty dishes we pulled out to use. It would have been useful to have kleenex boxes in the bathrooms, but for the most part, the house was stocked with what we needed. The hottubs were clean and hot - a bonus. The one small issue we had was handled immediately and with a friendly attitude which was appreciated. Thanks!

Everything you need for a large group

We are a group of friends that have been traveling together with our children for the past nine years. We have stayed in many houses, and this by far was one of the best! The house easily accommodated all four families with children, and had plenty of amenities to keep them busy, including both hot tubs, and a perfectly stocked game room. The property is located right downtown and easy to access all of the downtown amenities. The property manager was super helpful, responding quickly to every inquiry. We look forward to visiting Flagstaff and this exceptional home again in the future.

Amazing Cabin home for large group

We had the BEST time staying at The Ponderosa Gathering Tree property for our large group. We loved that each room has its own restroom w bath/shower. The large family table on the 2nd floor was so nice for us all to eat with each other. The house is very up to date and clean. The hot tubs were such a nice touch and had towels ready for you right next to them. Our host always responded immediately via text on any questions we had. The cabin-like home feels like your out in the woods but essentially your a quick drive from grocery stores in the event you forgot anything on your trip. There are hiking trails close by and downtown Flagstaff is a quick drive if you want to go shopping or bar hopping. We absolutely loved this place and can't wait to plan another trip here again.

Flag family reunion

Each year our family gets together for a week for vacation. Historically it’s been the Outer Banks at Nags Head. This year we choose Flagstaff as our spot and used it as base camp for family to see Grand Canyon, Sedona, Cottonwood/ Jerome, floating the verde river, Winslow/ crater, etc. House worked great for our large party of adults and several walked down to the corner grocery for Starbucks in the am. Our group is all couples so the large number of bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms was excellent! The house is pretty new and other than 3 levels the group loved it. Downsides: 2 fridges but no ice makers and the floors were installed pretty poorly for a new house.

Wonderful House, Great Location.

Stayed here for a family vacation with 20 people. Set up allows for 3 zones with 2 kitchens that enabled togetherness while also providing space for relaxing. The 2 hot tubs were great for relaxing. The only issue we had with the house is that upon arrival we read the house rules and they required us to be inside by 8 or 9 depending on the day. There was also a noise meter outside that sent alerts if people were outside. Given the 2 hot tubs and a wonder all fire pit in the back yard, it would have been nice to be able to enjoy those amenities into the evenings. Not talking about noisy parties, but being able to sit around the fire and enjoy the cool evenings. If these quiet hours were disclosed prior to booking then we missed it completely. Overall a great trip, but could have been even better!
