Key lesson
Location within the valley is a feature

Standout features

  • Private, quiet setting
  • Central to Sedona, Jerome, and Old Town Cottonwood
  • Three beds across two bedrooms

The property

Hippie Hideaway is a playful two-bedroom with three beds, and our most-booked unit by review count. It sits centrally in the valley, a short drive from Sedona, Jerome, and Old Town Cottonwood.

What we did

  • A fun, distinctive theme that gives the listing personality in a sea of beige rentals.
  • Sleeping for four in three beds, which suits friends traveling together.
  • A guest guide built around day trips, showing exactly how close guests are to the places they want to go.

The result

Hippie Hideaway holds a 4.84-star rating from 164 Airbnb guest reviews and carries Airbnb’s Guest Favorite distinction.

The lesson for investors

In the Verde Valley, a central location is a selling point in its own right. Show guests exactly how far they are from Sedona, Jerome, and the wineries, and build the guest guide around those trips.
