Glamping in a true vintage gem you will feel miles away up on Guardian Ridge and FLO! Only 1.7 miles off I-17 you will begin to be drawn into the ancient callings of the Sinagua as soon as you enter the riparian area of Beaver Creek. Culpepper Ranch Rd is the old, dirt ranch rd that follows along the creek. It is rural and quite bumpy in spots but so worth it for the end of the road privacy! With over 100 visit's now ( Hipcamp/Airbnb) I have never had a problem with a car not being able to traverse the road, 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-powered outdoor shower; one in FLO also. A 16' x 4' salt water above ground seasonal pool, May-October. FLO is strategically located as base camp (only 1.7 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. The gardens 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 free and welcome! So come on up if you're so inclined — and have a little kick back in Rimrock, Arizona!Culpepper Ranch Rd to Flo is only 1.7 miles off I-17. You will feel like you are a million miles away at Guardian Ridge Ranch! Your own private acre with end of the road privacy. Culpepper Ranch Road is an old dirt ranch rd so drive slowly! Epic views await you as you wander the grounds. A serene place to just relax! Enjoy the seasonal salt water pool, solar outdoor shower, gardens, orchard, private pet area and the star gazing zone. If you are craving privacy and some serenity FLO may be your muse. You are between Montezuma's Castle and Montezuma Well National Monuments. Sedona, Jerome, the Grand Canyon or Flagstaff are all down the road. The Verde Valley is a beautiful gem because of all the perennial creeks, gorgeous riparian areas alive with birds and other wildlife. An abundance of hiking and swimming are all around. Once you Know, you FLO!

Swim with a view
Flo is perfect and just the right size for me and my small dog to enjoy a little get away from the crowds on Sedona. We visited during monsoon season. So we got to swim in the morning in Margaret's very well maintained pool and then we would hunker down in Flo reading and enjoying the storms the rest of the day. The kitchen was great for cooking up dinner topped off with those fantastic views!

Hidden gem - you will fall in love!
This was a magical and healing space, a perfect escape from the anxiety and chaos of city life. There were amazing views of the surrounding hillside and getting to experience that from the saltwater pool and outdoor shower was fantastic. Maggie put so much thought into making the stay comfortable and equipped with just about everything you nee and the decorations indoors and outside are quirky-kitsch and adorable. FLO was immaculately clean and we appreciated the little notes Maggie left explaining various appliances etc. She put so much love and care into the details of FLO and the grounds. It was like stepping back in time but still having all the modern conveniences. Including having the AC on prior to our arrival, the gardens meticulously tended, the solar lighting along all the paths to make it easy to find our way around, and the numerous little sitting areas including the swinging hammock chairs we enjoyed under the stars. Maggie introduced herself and was also available on site to answer any of our questions, but most of the stay it felt like we had the place to ourselves. She even had firewood ready at the fire pit for us and propane in the grill. Our dog loved his stay and also loved visiting with the chickens. Maggie generously shared some of their fresh eggs with us which were delicious. The drive is not difficult coming off of I-17 in my husband's Tundra pickup, but if you have a smaller car, it might be a rough road to navigate. I cannot recommend FLO enough!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Spartan, we feel relaxed and at peace here, the landscape is well thought of and has many cute decorations, the pool is a great plus because the water is so cool on a hot day and it has such amazing views of sunrise and sunset. The camper is also comfortable and fully equipped with everything you need. We feel refreshed and recharged after our stay. Will definitely come back.

Peaceful dog friendly stay!
This is such a quirky unique place! The views are phenomenal and the trailer is cozy. All basic amenities are supplied to you at FLO so don’t worry about bringing camping gear. Expect a private, peaceful experience going to FLO. This is a very dog friendly location. The saltwater pool is a nice touch too! Tips for those coming: if cooking at FLO get food in Camp Verde or Sedona as Rimrock doe not have any grocery stores (except for a family dollar). Also drive slow on the country roads and use maps so to not take a wrong turn! Trust me when you get past the bumpy roads the destination is worth it.

It’s been 3 days since we returned from Rimrock and we just can’t stop looking at the pictures we took during our stay. The property offers so much. FLO has all the beauty and comfort that one need. We enjoyed starting the day sitting under the chasteberry trees before heading out to explore the area and when we came back, a swim in the pool was all we needed to cool down. As the day ended, we sat outside to gaze at the ultimate beauty of the sun setting over the distant horizon and found the inner peace. Maggie’s property is so enchanting. We can’t wait to come back!
