This is a great location for hanging in old town Cottonwood! We had a fine time walking to every place we wanted to and then strolling home without driving. Fantastic! Cottonwood, and the area, offers some of of the best wine and food. It's a culinary dream region. We loved the "Pad". We would definitely return. The bed was quite comfy and the whole place was charming.

Charming cottage

The property was lovely and clean. The bed was comfortable and it has a great shower. The bottle of wine was a nice gesture and the throw blankets by the fire pit were a nice touch. The location was perfect for walking downtown Cottonwood and yet very quiet. We had lots of privacy, it’s a peaceful place. FYI There is no TV which is fine by us because we’re readers and we spent most of our time exploring and dining out. I’d would stay here again! Thanks to our hosts! We love the Cactus Pad!

Charming stay with perfect location

This was our 5th trip to cottonwood and first at the cactus cottage. We loved the location. It was so easy to walk over to Main Street and still quiet enough to sleep at in. We will definitely be back.

Great long weekend stay

We visited Cottonwood to celebrate our anniversary for a long weekend. This place was exactly what we were looking for. The house was very private and steps away from Main Street. The front porch and yard were a great place to hang out in the evenings. The house was very clean and comfortable. We’d love to stay here again on our next trip to Cottonwood.

Our first trip to the area.

Our experience was very good. It was great for the two of us. Not much storage for unpacking but it didn't matter. The location was great. Walkable to many shops, restaurants and a trailhead. Day trips to Sedona were great. Jerome is well worth the 20 minute trip. Our host was very accommodating.

Anniversary get away

We love the Cactus pad. The design is beautiful, it is peaceful, a great home base for exploring the tasting rooms and meandering through the shops of old town Cottonwood. This is our second stay. Ellen is a very responsive host when we had a minor (user error) problem using the key pad entry system. There is nothing we would change. The cactus of is perfect.

What a special place! Both fun and serene, this cozy home offers everything for a memorable and comfortable stay. We felt rejuvenated by its serenity and thrilled to be able to simply walk to downtown Cottonwood for shopping. Really an ideal getaway. PLUS this home's location is perfect for all the nearby wine tastings--you can walk home, no car needed! The Cactus Pad is simply awesome.

Old Town Cottonwood

My husband and I stayed for one week at this property set just behind the Main Street of Old Town Cottonwood. It is a hidden gem! It was quiet, private and well planned inside and out. The center of Old Town was walkable and fun to be close to. We loved every minute and would highly recommend staying here.

Awesome spot!

We totally fell in love with this wonderful casita! Plenty of room for the two of us, comfy bed and perfect temperature with the AC. Enjoyed morning coffee on the porch and even cooked dinner one night. Couldn't be better located - an easy walk to Old Town Cottonwood shops, restaurants and tasting rooms. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!

The perfect Arizona experience

The location of the property was SO convenient and within walking distance to everything Cottonwood has to offer. It is close to Sedona and Jerome but without the congested traffic. Highly recommend renting one of the pin drop trailers to camp up in the mountains for a night or two, it was SPECTACULAR. The pin drop trailers have everything you could possibly need. The camper is completely self sufficient, as it is solar powered , however it can hook up to power if available . It also has blue tooth connectability. The camper was very easy to pull behind . Both owners Tim and Ruth Ellen are very knowledgeable about the area and recommended a weeks worth of activities . Make sure you experience kayaking , the train and rent an ATV for the full AZ experience . We did not have ONE bad meal , our two favorite restaurants were the Colt (beef brisket tacos ) and Belfry (cowboy sirloin and lock & key cocktails ).
