Explore Our Pet-Friendly Vacation Rentals in the Heart of Sedona

At El Portal Sedona Hotel, we are dedicated to providing guests and their pets with luxurious, comfortable places to stay as they explore all that Sedona has to offer. After years of operating our 12-suite hotel at 80% occupancy or higher, we decided that it was time to expand—but there was no buildable space remaining on the hotel property. When several buildings became available just up the road from El Portal, we decided to purchase them and transform them into our three vacation rental homes: Connie’s Place, Sarah’s Place, and Terrapin Station. Read on to learn more about these properties, which offer a wonderful alternative to staying at El Portal when the hotel is full, or for those who may be seeking a bit more space and privacy.

Connie’s Place

Located in the heart of Sedona’s vibrant Arts District, Connie’s Place offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. This vacation rental is just off 89A below the Y, placing guests within easy walking distance of shops, cafes, and a variety of other attractions. As a VRBO Premier Partner, Connie’s Place stands out for its commitment to providing excellent traveler experiences, ensuring a memorable stay with high review scores, low cancellation rates, and secure booking.

As with El Portal and our other vacation rental homes, Connie’s Place is family- and pet-friendly. The home is a duplex that will soon feature a third unit, designed to capture the essence of mid-century modern style. Whether you’re staying in the one-bedroom or two-bedroom unit, you’ll enjoy a spacious living area, comfortable amenities like mini-fridges, Keurigs, and microwaves, and thoughtful pet accommodations, including doggie dishes, blankets, and waste bags. Perfect for families and pet owners, Connie’s Place accommodates up to four guests in each unit, providing a welcoming environment for all.

Sarah’s Place

Nestled in the historic heart of Sedona, Sarah’s Place offers a delightful retreat for those seeking a cozy, home-away-from-home experience. This pet-friendly vacation rental is perfectly situated on a secluded street, yet it’s just a short walk to all that Sedona has to offer, including shops, tours, restaurants, and bars. The cottage’s location provides breathtaking views of Sedona’s iconic Red Rocks from nearly every angle, including the master bedroom and the outdoor patio. Guests can enjoy a stunning sunset from the front porch, savoring a glass of wine or a mug of hot chocolate depending on the season.

Sarah’s Place features a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms, and a full bath. The fenced backyard offers privacy and a safe space for pets to roam, and the outdoor fireplace creates an enchanting gathering spot for evenings under the stars. Less than half a mile from the shops, restaurants, and galleries of Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, Sarah’s Place also provides easy access to Sedona’s hiking trails, biking paths, and other attractions.

Terrapin Station

Named after the Grateful Dead album, Terrapin Station is our newest vacation rental, opened in 2023. Located on a quiet, hidden street just steps from El Portal and within easy walking distance of Tlaquepaque, we are proud that the property now serves as the only ADA-compliant short-term rental in Sedona. This charming 1930s bungalow has been completely remodeled in a classic Monterey style, offering guests modern comfort in a historic setting.

Amongst approximately 800 square feet of living space that can accommodate up to four guests and their pets, Terrapin Station features a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and other essentials, a bedroom with a king bed, as well as a queen-sized sleeper couch, and a beautiful ADA-compliant bathroom. Pet lovers in particular will love the fully enclosed private backyard with a barbecue and outdoor fireplace.

Just as with El Portal, pets are welcome at our three vacation rental homes without any pet fees, making them comfortable, relaxing havens for the whole family. To learn more or book your stay, call us at 800-313-0017!
