Spring Season in Flagstaff?

Big snows behind us

Spring Season in Flagstaff?
Now that our late season snow storms are behind us its once again beginning to look like real spring is almost here.  We are certainly grateful for the late March snow storms which saved us from a desperately dry spring.  It could still become very dry which here in northern Arizona it has a tendency to do but at least...

Feels like spring in Flagstaff
Spring like weather in the Flagstaff area and most of Arizona makes us feel like preparing the gardening season.  We have chives coming up outside now but mot everything is fooled by the warmth.  The lilacs have not begun their budding out process yet so that is actually a good sign.  There will be more cool days...

Early spring?

Warm Weather continues in Flagstaff
Here we are in the latter part of February and its still so much warmer than usual here.  We are thankful however for the mostly rain and wind storm that passed over us last week.  It made things less dry and did produce snow at the higher elevations.  So far this is the least amount of snow I have seen in my 30 years...

Snow for Flagstaff?

Rain or snow

Snow for Flagstaff?
The latest weather forecast indicates a fairly strong possibility of some snow in the Flagstaff area.  How much is the big question and although you never know for sure until it happens our chances for some measurable moisture look good.  It's very dry here so rain or snow its very welcome.  Perhaps the Arizona...

Unseasonably Warm in Flagstaff

What happened to winter

Unseasonably Warm in Flagstaff
I just spoke with a neighbor who has lived here for 40 years and he said this warm weather we've been experiencing is the warmest and driest he has seen in all of his time here.  I can certainly second that as I have resided here since 1995 and this is for sure the strangest winter I have experienced.  Recently we had...

After many weeks of very dry conditions here in Flagstaff there is a bit of change in the air.  Snow showers have been occurring today and are in the forecast through Wednesday.  Locals have been concerned about the lack of moisture leading to dangerous spring fire conditions.  So, for us here in the Flagstaff area...

I can now report that we have received our first snowstorm of any size this season.  Here at Elden Trails Bed and Breakfast we recorded four inches of soft powdery snow.  Over night lows dipped into the teens for the first time this season as well.  Snowfall totals vary considerably depending in what area of town one...

More seasonal temperatures are set to return to northern Arizona but that does not mean its time to hunker down.  Hunkering down with a nice beverage and a hot fire in the wood stove or fireplace can be a very enjoyable way to wind down the day.  But, daylight hours can be as filled with outdoor activities as you want...

What Our Guests Are Saying

  • "This is our first full summer in AZ and we wanted to get out of the heat of Phoenix. Flagstaff fit the bill and Elden Trails made us glad we came. The innkeepers are very interesting and friendly and the breakfast is delicious. Great hiking and fun historic downtown area."

  • "We stayed for 2 nights and the experience was memorable. Steve and Marnie were exemplary. The place was spacious, elegant and comfortable. Our breakfast was amazing and should be experienced by everyone. Healthiest breakfast ever. The garden was spectacular and optimized. The best was the bonding with the whole family. Truly beautiful and authentic."

  • "This B&B is great! We loved the home like feel of the cottage. The attention to detail, the delightful patio, fabulous breakfast and the hospitality of our hosts make this Bed and Breakfast one we will return to each time we head West."

  • "I stayed 4 nights when on a recent personal retreat. The food was awesome and Marnie packed a breakfast for me for the day I left at 6am. The location was exactly what I was looking for - quiet, access to gorgeous trails and hosts that were most helpful with information. Looking forward to returning there again."

  • "Even though the weather was freezing and it was snowing the hospitality of Steve and Marnie made our stay warm and friendly. They went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable and easy. The convenience to hiking trails was a nice surprise and the breakfasts....well, that's a reason to return all on its own. A big thank you for making our time in Flagstaff wonderful."

  • "A great experience in bed and breakfasting! The food is healthful and delicious. The ambiance reflects the good taste and congeniality of the innkeepers. Comfort and attention to detail are evident everywhere. Will we stay there again? Emphatically yes! We have already made reservations for our next stay in Flagstaff."

  • "Steve and Marney were wonderful hosts and our room was cosy and comfortable. Breakfast was special with everything organic and home made. Walks and wildlife were just out the window and back gate. It was great talking with Steve and Marney over breakfast, they were genuine and engaging hosts. I would recommend this B&B."

  • "Steve and Marnie are exceptional hosts; very solicitous and friendly. The breakfasts were amazing and healthy. The room is very comfortable and cozy with a separate bedroom, roomy living space and nice bathroom. There is a little frig, hot water pot and filtered water. A microwave would have made the room just perfect. Great place to stay!"

  • "We had a splendid one night stay at Elden Trails B&B. The studio suite is comfy and quiet with forest trails directly behind the suite with a variety of hiking options. Marnie and Steve are gracious hosts and helped us with dinner and entertainment options in Flagstaff. We can't say enough about how wonderful the breakfast was. We requested a vegan breakfast and it far exceeded our expectations. Plenty of variety and it was very tasty."

  • "We spent a quiet night in the private suite at Elden Trails. It is attractively decorated (not frou-frou) and comfortable. Our host delivered fresh coffee at our requested time first thing in the morning. The breakfast was delicious, all made from scratch. The fresh egg layers live on site. Out the back gate we had a snowy walk in the woods at the base of Mt. Elden."

  • "Great examples and advocates for sustainable living. This cute studio bed and breakfast provided the quiet night that we needed, unique touches everywhere. Would have enjoyed softer sheets but over all comfortable experience. Owners were great hosts as the left a key and warmed the studio since we were late arrivals. The property backs up to a national forest for our beloved four-legged friends to run free. The most mention-able part of our experience was the breakfast. It was healthy, wholesome and organic. We ate eggs laid that morning from the chickens right outside the studio."

  • "I stayed here with my girlfriend and her sister last month. It couldn't have been better. Although its a few miles from town, it is right at the heart of great hiking trails. Its set back in a quiet neighborhood which was very nice. The room is very cute and clean. The food was the best part. Breakfast was hearty and healthy. The owners are very kind."

  • "Steve and Marnie are exceptional hosts in an industry (B&Bs) that has attracted too many people who are merely interested in revenues. It is obvious that they have captured the spirit of hospitality that guided B&B's previously. It shows in the lodgings, the food, and their level of helpfulness."

  • "I stayed at Elden Trails in September 2013 for three nights before joining a Grand Canyon hiking tour. It was a beautiful spot, with great access to hiking trails and very close to downtown Flagstaff. The cabin is spacious, comfortable, and very quiet. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed the company & conversation each morning. Thanks Steve & Marnie for being great hosts!"
