Historic A-Frame Panoramic Red Rock Views!
A Historic A-Frame Retreat in the Heart of Uptown Sedona
Welcome to Hartman Cabin (Quail Tail) — a one-of-a-kind, recently remodeled A-frame tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac and backing directly to national forest land. This iconic Sedona retreat blends timeless character with modern comfort, all within easy walking distance to Uptown Sedona’s shops, trails, galleries, and restaurants.
Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by a vaulted main living space with a dramatic wall of windows, framing sweeping red rock views and flooding the home with natural light. Outside, the generously sized deck faces the forest and offers a front-row seat to sunrise, sunset, and stargazing—with nothing but nature behind you.
A True Sedona Original — Rich in History & Soul
Affectionately known as the Hartman Cabin, this beloved family retreat has welcomed families, artists, and creatives for over 50 years. Originally built by Dr. and Mrs. Hartman as a Phoenix escape, the home is thoughtfully decorated with authentic Southwestern artifacts and original artwork, preserving its heritage while offering today’s comforts.
The result is a space that feels warm, meaningful, and impossible to replicate—a rare find in Sedona.
Thoughtful Layout for Relaxation & Connection
Open, airy design with vaulted ceilings
Lofted sitting area upstairs (baby gates provided)
Expansive forest-facing deck
Quiet, private setting at the end of a cul-de-sac
Surrounded by national forest on multiple sides
The home is entirely yours during your stay—private, peaceful, and designed for connection with both nature and one another.
Best of Both Worlds: Walk to Town, Escape to Nature
Enjoy the rare combination of walkability and seclusion. Stroll safely via sidewalks off Jordan Road into Uptown Sedona, or step outside your door to feel immersed in red rock country.
Everything you’ll want to explore is close:
Uptown Sedona: walkable
West Sedona, Oak Creek Village, Red Rock Loop Roads: 6–8 miles
Scenic drive on 89A toward Flagstaff
Page Springs wine country through lush riparian landscapes
A car is recommended for adventures beyond Uptown.
Attentive Off-Site Support

Excellent experience in a comfortable cabin literally at the end of the road.It has a spectacular back porch view and is located in a well-isolated and quiet area. The cabin was FULLY stocked as if you were living there, and the ability to adjust the temperature in different areas was easy. The support staff immediately answered any inquiry made while we were there. Overall, it was one of our best VRBO experiences, and we would not hesitate to return.
The location is close to downtown Sedona but removed from the hustle and bustle. Everything we needed was there and we were very comfortable. The views from the deck were fantastic and we had a mule deer buck feeding just outside the kitchen window one morning. We also heard the coyotes calling throughout the valley below every evening. It was an awesome stay and we hope to return.
Awesome views to complete wilderness from a back deck and floor to ceiling windows!
Such a cute chalet-like home with just the right amount of space for the 5 of us. Super clean, comfy beds, nice bedding and great upstairs rain shower. 10 minute walk to town .a just take your phone flashlight if you walk at night since the roads to the house do not have streetlights or sidewalks. The dark skies community allow for fantastic star gazing. We loved it!
We stayed at this cabin for 7 nights and had wonderful time. Our group consisted of 2 retired couples and one 28-year-old. The cabin was large enough to accomodate all of us and had all the amenities we needed. WI-fi was good and laundry was nice to have. The cabin is close enough to walk to down town for food etc. yet still private and quiet. A good choice as a base to explore Sedona and do some hikes. Highly recommend hiking West Fork of Oak Creek. Avoid Devil's Bridge - too many crowds and just not worth the hike. Also recommend visiting Jerome, especially Nellie Bly. Leila was responsive and helpful.
Omg we love this place! Unbelievably scenic right from the house. And serene. We watched sunrise and moonrise right out back porch every day. Night time nature sounds. Relaxing

This property had everything we were looking for - views, walking distance to Up Town, space for all 8 of us and a house in good condition. We had a great time and would rent again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was clean, in a great location, and incredible views! We made friends with the javalina's wandering thru and saw some local cayotes passing thru as well.
On a very windy day, there was a chilly draft but we bundled up .
Beautiful and spacious house that’s stocked to the max. Best of all the view is absolutely stunning! Also, Leila is an excellent communicator!
We’ll be back!
