Photos and Description of the Jerome vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, sleeps 4

The Kelly House is a perfectly renovated home in one of the coolest artist colonies in the United States. The main level houses one of Jerome's finest art galleries, Gallery 527. Upstairs is a charming home complete with everything you will need for a weekend, a week or even a month. The lovely kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and stove is complimented by beautiful cabinets, storage and stools by the tiled counter. The dining area has a chandelier and table that expands to seat 8. The large picture window looks out onto an incredible view of the Verde Valley. Satellite TV, phone service and internet connection are all provided.

The bath features a cultured marble tub and sink with lovely lighting. Two queen beds with vintage furniture are the perfect retreat. Washer and dryer in the foyer by the bedrooms is quite convenient. Located just 25 miles from Sedona, this location is perfect as a headquarters for great adventures.

Jerome - From Mining Boom Town to Art Destination: Once a roaring copper town, Jerome became a ghost town in the 1950's when the mines closed. There is much interesting history in this charming mile high gem. The entire town is on the National Historic Registry and The Kelly House is individually listed, as well. Because of this, the character of the town is unique and well protected. Today, the 400 residents welcome not only history buffs but art lovers to over 30 galleries and studios.

Galleries Galore: First Saturday Art Walk in Jerome was selected by The Arizona Republic as #1 weekend getaway. Stroll the streets and stop in galleries for live music, refreshments and fabulous art. The restaurants in Jerome are superb and The Twin Star is a general store with everything you will need...In September, The Jerome Historical Society may host its second CopperTown Ball, a formal Roaring 20's themed dance with casino and big band in Spook Hall. Details to come on this event. October is packed with events. The Sedona Plein Air Festival comes to Jerome for a paint out on the last Wednesday of October. GREAT ART DAY IN JEROME. The Ghost Walk and the Halloween Ball are yearly happenings that are well-known favorites. Sedona Film Festival is every February. Home Tour on the third weekend in May. Call for description of events. Summer 2012 - this is a great time to be in Jerome. Central air - just in case you need it! July and August are open!

Surrounding Area - what to do: Hiking is probably the most spectacular activity with hundreds of trails from easy to difficult. Sedona is a beautiful 25 minute drive from Jerome. The Verde Canyon Railroad and Tuzigoot - incredible Indian ruins are just down the hill in Clarkdale. There are 8 local wineries, all an easy drive from Jerome. Cliff Castle Casino is close-by, if gambling is your thing. If you love photography or painting, Jerome offers limitless opportunities for your artistic pursuits.

Exquisite apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: March 30, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The Kelly House is right on Main Street in Jerome, so all the charms of this funny little town are readily available -- Flatiron Breakfast, Quince lunch, Grapes dinner, art just below as well as all around. The Mogollon Rim view and the sunrise will stun you -- the front picture window faces the Verde Valley, the Mogollon Rim, and even the San Francisco peaks, and everything is photographable from the front balcony.

Donna and Ken are welcoming, serious about making sure everything is just right, and the apartment is beautiful. Tile bath with great tub and shower, a kitchen with everything you can imagine needing, the beds are firm and comfy -- we can't speak too highly of the place. It was immaculate, of course, and had all kinds of little extras, like aspirin and a new toothbrush, just in case we forgot ours.

The furnishings are both comfortable and easy to live with -- it's a calm apartment, with black and white enlarged photographs being the primary wall decor. Both bedrooms have doors to the back patio, so in warm weather, coffee in the back could be an additional benefit. The art along the side yard is delightful.

The Wifi works beautifully and we used it a lot; the TV is nice and big and the couches and chairs good for TV watching. The gardens are fun and the two patios, along with the front balcony provide an ever-changing view of the town, the Verde Valley, and the Rim. We learned to climb the back steps and wander around hidden areas of the town, above the main street, up into the back areas that are so much fun to explore.

We wanted to return in March of next year, but another couple, who had had the place last year but were slow to make reservations this year, beat us out. Donna is trying to entice us to come in April or May, when the trumpet vine that covers the back wall will be in bloom.

We would recommend this apartment to anyone, whether for a couple of nights or for a month.

Owner's Response: How lucky we are to have such wonderful guests stay at The Kelly House. This time, a writer and a photographer who truly did justice to our little town and our special home.

Never Disapppointed

Gary and I have been coming to Jerome and the Kelly House for 6 years. We are never disappointed. Everything you need is here. When flying from the East coast to Arizona, it is especially important to have an apartment that is well stocked and pet-friendly (side yard is especially nice).

We enjoy the fact that we can park our car and walk to shops and restaurants. We have the option each day of walking to everything we want or driving into Sedona, Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Cornville, Prescott, or Flagstaff. Jerome is the ideal location.

Jerome is an artistic, ghost town. We enjoy the Art Walk (first Saturday of each month) and GHOST WALK (middle weekend of October). Fall of 2011, we experienced the best Halloween EVER! You've never seen such creative costumes! The "locals" are interesting, well-educated, artsy people. Talent in Jerome is unlimited!

Your visit to Jerome and the Kelly House will not be disappointing.

Wow, what a great time we had in Jerome! The Kelly house was everything we hoped for and more. Coming from a grey and gloomy city we were in love with the spectacular view from the living area. The space is decorated tastefully with the added pleasure of original art. I can't praise this property enough. The apartment was super clean, well maintained and conveniently located within walking distance to shopping and dinning. Amenities like soaps, lotions and abundant fluffy towels were included in the rental. Donna and Ken were super helpful hosts. We loved our visit and hope to find time to return.

Thanks again,
Chris and Julie
Owner's Response: Thanks Julie and Chris for the kind words. We hope to see you again in Jerome.

This place is gorgeous! It's clean and cozy and decorated adorable! We cooked dinners, drank wine on the wrap around front porch while watching an amazing thunderstorm over the low desert. We traveled to all the haunted spots in Jerome, bought great jewelry. The bars were fun and had great live music and each place we had had wonderful food. (Haunted Hamburger and Flat Iron Grill). But our favorite part of the trip was actually just hanging out at the house. We had two couples and a dog and had plenty of room. It really was wonderful and I definitely would love to go back soon but it's booked!

Owner's Response: Thank you for visiting Jerome and staying at The Kelly House. You are our perfect guests...people who love the town and like feeling a part of things by 'hanging' at the house and venturing out for adventures.
Please come again. Lots of dates open in the winter and spring.

We stayed here for one night on a girls AZ trip - AWESOME! Donna was so pleasant and did everything she said she would. Jerome is a neat little town with the friendliest locals. The house was exactly as described, spotless, beautifully decorated. It matched the whole town. There isn't a bad place in town to eat - everywhere was delicious. We did the ghost tour - which was interesting and fun (a little cheesy, but very fun). The only thing wrong - we didn't stay long enough to thoroughly enjoy it or Jerome! You cannot go wrong with this house or the homeowner!

We stayed almost 2 months in Jerome and we grew to love this quirky town with it's spectacular views.The house was extremely well designed and everything was provided. It is better than the pictures! Views from the living room, kitchen, and one of the bedrooms! It was extremely clean and comfortable inside and out with 3 different outdoor areas for use depending on the time of day and temperature.
Donna and Ken the hosts are very generous and helpful. A fantastic gourmet general store "Twin Star" is close by and there are artists and art everywhere...
with fantastic music at Quince, Mile High Restaurant...very good food,wonderful shops, galleries and artist studios
We definitely plan to return!!

Best views in Jerome, the Vertical City.

Breathtaking views of Verde Valley, Red Rocks of Sedona, and even the San Francisco Peaks 60 miles away. Morning coffee watching the sunrise from the front porch is heavenly. We're heading back for two months in 2011 after 1 1/2 months in 2010.

Recently remodeled, with first-class kitchen, roomy living/dining area 2 nice bedrooms each with private entrance, roomy, up-to-date bathroom, wraparound porch and private patio. Plenty of room for 2 couples.

Donna and Ken, the owners, are extremely hospitable and cooperative.

Convenient to Cottonwood (15 min.) for shopping (only one small grocery in Jerome) and only 35 min. to Sedona. If you don't want to cook, there's a great breakfast stop a few steps up Main St., and for other meals, a good choice in Jerome and even more in Clarkdale (10 min.) and Cottonwood.

Quite a few steps up to entrance, so not for anyone with respiratory, heart or mobility problems.
