The Roadrunner Road Residence
Perks for the Parents
A stunning home in Sedona, Arizona with a game room, hot tub and spectacular red rock views of Thunder Mountain. It sleeps 8. This is a great setup for families, with the main space all on 1 level and a separate casita for a nanny/au pair or those traveling with the grandparents. Parents will love the luxurious primary bedroom, where you can chill out in the soaking tub after bedtime, or relaxing in the peaceful private garden with the hot tub. Those who love to cook will enjoy entertaining in the kitchen, or grilling outside on the gas BBQ amongst the desert breeze.
Why Kids Love it
The property has plenty of toys and books for children, as well as a perfect game room for older kids or teens with indoor basketball, ping pong table, giant Jenga and Connect Four, board games and puzzles. They’ll love the garden and the hot tub (with supervision) and you can all gather round the firepit at night for toasting s’mores. It’s close to a local playground with a splash pad (15 minutes’ walk or a few minutes’ drive) and there’s also a bike skills park in the neighborhood. A pack n play, high chair, and kids dinnerware are all available on request.

All of the bedrooms and the living room have Smart TVs with YouTube programming. The home has air conditioning throughout.

Accommodation Details
The main house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with an extra bedroom and bathroom in the detached casita. In the main house, you’ll find a striking living room, kitchen and dining area for 8 guests. The primary bedroom has a kingsize bed plus access to the lovely backyard. The private bathroom is an oasis and features double sinks, stone counters, a restful soaking tub and separate shower. The second kingsize bedroom has access to the backyard, plus a private bathroom with 2 sinks and a distinctive tiled backsplash, plus a large walk-in tile and glass shower. The separate studio has its own entrance up a flight of stairs, and comes with a kingsize bed and a living area with a queensize sofabed. The private bathroom boasts a very large walk-in shower.

Style Notes
Desert cool. The home feels fun and stylish, decorated with a contemporary desert style in mind. The fully loaded kitchen is modern, all of the furniture is new, and all of the restrooms have spa-like features to create a truly relaxing experience. Contemporary décor and gorgeous hardwood plank flooring complements the high ceilings, while the stunning kitchen boasts birch cabinetry and ample countertop space, along with the convenient center island (with seating for 4). We love the mid-century style pieces in the living room, the industrial-style sliding door to the bedroom and the rustic textures used in the casita, referencing the rugged backdrop of the surroundings.

The red rock wonderland
Lace up your hiking boots and get exploring: Sedona’s red rock landscape will make adventurers out of even your smallest children. Trails suiting all ages can be found amidst astonishing curvaceous rocks and burnt orange cliffs. Even more towering cliffs are found at the Grand Canyon, around 2 hours away, and visits to Montezuma’s Castle and Montezuma’s Well just outside Oak Creek also include a look at archaeological finds. Add to that jeep tours, Sliding Rock State Park (pack swimsuits!), the chapel of the Holy Cross, and astronomy tours at night and outdoorsy families will find plenty to do.
