Glamping in a true vintage gem you will feel miles away up on Guardian Ridge and FLO! You will be on one of the highest points in the Verde Valley. Only 2.7 miles off I-17 you will begin to be drawn into the ancient callings of the Sinagua. The riparian area is rich with ancient history and spectacular wildlife. Brocket Ranch Rd is an old, dirt ranch rd. Leave the asphalt world behind as you follow along Beaver Creek, just take it slow and try to arrive during the daylight hours. The Sinagua's cliff dwellings line the cliffs all along the road to FLO and the Sycamores and Cottonwoods are Spectacular! .The views are breathtaking with the Sedona Red Rocks to the north and the Montezuma Castle National Monument canyon to the south. FLO is a fully self-contained, refurbished 1950 Spartan Mansion Silver Bullet. Her charm includes an original turquoise shower/bathroom, full bed, a sweet kitchen and quaint living area. All of the paneling is original bent birch wood. She feels like “a big hug” when you lay in her beautifully-curved bedroom. Total privacy, with your own patio and barbecue, fire pit, solar outdoor shower and a 16' x 4' salt water above ground seasonal pool, May-October! FLO is strategically located as base camp (only 2.7 miles off I-17) for visiting Jerome, Prescott, Village of Oak Creek, Sedona, Flagstaff or The Grand Canyon. Drive down south to the warmth or up north to the cool. FLO's a great jumping off spot! Not to mention all the great hiking opportunities right here in the Verde Valley. Four perennial creeks all flow into the Verde River, all with wonderful hiking opportunities — Wet Beaver Creek, Clear Creek, Fossil Creek and Oak Creek.

A washer/dryer has been added for our guests on longer stays The gardens, orchard and trees have grown over the years since I first planted them and you never know what will be in-season and blooming! Gardening is my passion and I have thrived here for many years loving on this piece of land. Oh ya, your pets are free and welcome! So come on up if you're so inclined — and have a little kick back in Rimrock, Arizona!Brocket Ranch Rd to Flo is only 2.7 miles off I-17.

What a magical property! It's a bit of a long drive on a bumpy unpaved road so be prepared for that. However, the drive is well worth thr seclusion and breath taking views from flo. The airstream is so well appointed. Quite literally everything and anything you could want or need including extra blankets, cookware, tea, sugar, snacks. But the grounds! So much thought and love went into the management of these grounds. Well maintained paths, soooo many options for seating and lounging, and the best part was all the lights that came on after dark. The lights were beautiful and didn't make a dent in the stargazing!

Cozy vintage charm
My husband and I had a great time staying at Maggie's place! FLO is absolutely charming and cozy, filled with lots of nice touches that made us feel at home - like the well-stocked kitchen and even a bottle of wine when we arrived! The garden nooks offer amazing views and relaxing spots to read and relax.
The location is convenient to Sedona and other points of interest.
We loved our time there and can't wait to visit again!

Simple Flo Mansion Life
I spent my 33rd birthday at Flo with my pups and partner, and it was lovely. We grilled vegan burgers, enjoyed a big bonfire, and spent the night stargazing. Flo is cozy, impeccably clean, and full of charming details. The water is hot and delicious, and the beautifully groomed land is perfect for peaceful walks with your dogs.
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, Flo is the place. Plus, it’s just a 30-minute drive to Sedona for a day of adventure. We’d definitely stay again! 💙

Flo's Healing Energy
With pets
Whimsical, vast, peaceful, rustic, retro, and grounding. I can't stay enough about Ms. Maggie's wonderful Flo property. It truly feels like a magical place. The drive to the property sets the scene for an out of the way desert oasis. The trailer was cozy and oh so cute. The air conditioner and heater worked fantasticly. The water was hot fast and the shower in the bathroom is more spacious than it looks. There is also a solar shower with a great view of the valley. Over every bit of the property you can feel a charming energy coming from the love and effort Maggie has put in. Our two Australian cattle dogs went on adventures off leash and we're fascinated to watch Maggie welcome 7 bright new chicks to her property. We went to check on them during a midnight stroll and found them cozied up in their hen house.
While you're there make sure you check out El Patio for a great meal, Montezuma's Castle (see if you can spot Maggie's beautiful orange home on your drive there), and the antique shops down the road (great finds and prices).
We are definitely planning on coming back soon. Thank you for your hospitality Ms. Maggie 🌻
