Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

An experience you wouldn't expect
Having attended NAU, and spent some time in the seedier parts of Flagstaff, this property reminds me of something that belongs in a more sophisticated town. Don't get me wrong, I LOOOVED this place, I just wasn't expecting such an experience. The sheets were divine. I know that is a strange way to describe them, but you have to sleep on them to understand. It may have been the mattress- all I know is that I woke so refreshed that I was able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The property has everything from Japanese toilets to pinball games, all within walking distance of the things you want to do in Flagstaff! I'm glad we made this stop on our way back from Amangiri, it allowed me to avoid reality for one more night! If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Awesome, unique home - not your typical vacation rental
This is a beautiful property that's easy walking distance to all the shopping/restaurants/bars of downtown Flagstaff. It's a unique, historic home with a modern, eclectic feel, comfortable bedding, and plenty of top-of-the-line amenities, including multiple Wi-Fi networks and plenty of other entertainment options (I can't go on without mentioning the addictive pinball machines). But the clincher is that the owners take obvious pride in sharing this place with others and truly make you feel at home; it's not the usual run-of-the-mill experience. This isn't the cheapest option you'll find, but you're not going to find a combination of such a cool place, great location, and warm owners anywhere else.

Thank you so much for your review. We also agree that the Babbitt House is a very special place, and we've done everything possible to make it an incredible place to stay. It's our primary home these days, so we've designed everything around our needs, but while we're not there we make it available for people to rent so that they can continue to support the local shops, restaurants, tour operators, etc., etc. We look forward to your next visit!

Beautiful Historic Home
I was in Flagstaff for business and was lucky enough to stay at this beautiful home during August of 2015. The home is a few blocks away from all the shopping and restaurants so once i arrived and parked my car I pretty much just walked after that. The home is stunning with tons of space for a large family. I was very impressed with the renters professionalism and customer service during the book process. Anytime im in Flagstaff this is where I stay!
