Grand Sedona Casita: Hot Tub & Cold Plunge

This is a casita with a story worth knowing.

Before it was a retreat, it was a working pottery studio — kilns and a showroom, run by the artist who once lived here. Look closely and you'll see that history in the handmade tile lining the bathroom's soaking tub. That same artist made the kitchen countertop tile in the main house next door. The past is still present here, and it gives this space a character that no amount of renovation could manufacture.

The casita sits on the same historically significant property as the main house — a rare Howard Madole-designed mid-century modern compound in West Sedona. The casita's architecture tells its own story: concrete walls and floors, soaring floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, and an industrial aesthetic that feels both raw and refined. A tranquil fountain sits just outside the entrance.

It's a private world. Fully self-contained, with its own entrance, outdoor dining, hot tub, cold plunge, BBQ, and living space — yet part of something architecturally rare.

Two bedrooms, one beautifully appointed bathroom with a handmade tile soaking tub, and a large open-plan living, dining, and workspace — all bathed in light from floor-to-ceiling windows.

Bedroom 1 features a king bed and an attached en suite with soaking tub and shower. Bedroom 2 features a queen bed, washer and dryer, and access to the same bathroom. All bedrooms include hotel-quality linens, robes, luggage racks, and smart TVs.

The living area includes a 75" TV and a two-person electronic game table with hundreds of games — genuinely useful on a Sedona evening when you want to stay in. A kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, hot plate, multi-mode oven, Keurig, and breakfast bar for two handles every practical need.

Outdoors

The private outdoor area is designed for contrast — hot tub and cold plunge side by side, ideal for serious hydrotherapy or simply for watching the stars appear over the red rocks. A fountain creates ambient sound. A BBQ and patio dining for four, plus two lounge chairs, complete the space.

Privacy here is genuine. The layout of the property creates a real sense of separation from the main house — this feels like your own retreat, not an add-on.
