I almost hate to give this place 3 stars. For many, it may be exactly what you are looking for. Pros: The owner, Wendy is extraordinarily nice and helpful. The leaded glass windows, numerous outdoor sitting areas, the beautifully carved mantle, the Bose iPod station, the cable tv, the numerous movies, the walking distance to absolutely everything in Jerome, and the complimentary Red Rock pass are all great Complimentary coffee The price was reasonable Close to other historic sites - Tuzigoot, Clarkdale Train Depot, 40 min to downtown Sedona The cons: Bed upstairs is really really soft, too soft for me. I sunk in and couldn't roll out. Bed downstairs leans to the left No shower except for outdoor shower No wifi (athough another reviewer borrowed from the b&b next door - wish I had thought of that!) Jerome apparently doesn't open up until after 10 am and pretty much shuts down by 5 pm. I think if you want to stay in Jerome and you would like an historic cottage, this is a nice place. In February we didn't see any bugs, so that wasn't a problem for us. If you arrive late, stop at grocery store on your way in - I think the Cottonwood Safeway is the closest as there are no grocers in Jerome and the restaurants may be closed. read more

My husband and I visit Jerome a lot and try to stay at different places each time we return. On this visit everything was booked except for the Miner's Cottage. The cottage was built around 1886 and has been restored beautifully !! I have included pictures for you to see of the bottom floor that we rented. There are 2 rooms to rent ( the top & the bottom). Our room consisted of a desk, sitting area, fireplace, handmade rock wall in the bathroom with old fashioned tub, queen size bed, outdoor shower, hot tub (shared with top unit), small fridge, coffee maker, TV (no cable). They do not have wifi , but the owner suggested contacting a neighboring bed and breakfast and asking to use their code and they were more than happy to give it to us. The Good: The place is decorated perfectly for the era and many of the features are hand made and the room has antiques and collectibles throughout. The hot tub was right outside our door and had a beautiful view of the main road and parts of the verde valley. Loved the bathroom and the handmade rocking chairs in front of the fireplace. The owner was very nice ( only conducted business on the phone, she was not at the property). She let us check in at 11am and check out at 12pm for no extra charge. The room cost $150 per night for the bottom unit. The Bad: There were no wash cloths??? Plenty of towels, but no wash cloths. The outside shower was not usable....there were tons and tons of spider webs, bugs of all shapes and sizes, and the shower was in a small space, so there was no escaping the bugs...I did not want to use it, and the husband was not having any part in it either. Also no breakfast was included, so the price was a little higher than most in the area that do include breakfast. I think this was in part to the owner normally renting for at least a week. And I can not forget about the bug infestation...I was horrifed all day and had trouble sleeping. In our room ( that I know of) we experienced 2 flying roaches, 4 grounded roaches, a huge centipede, flying ants, beetles, and about 10 different spider species. I was killing spiders all night...it was horrible. I may try the place again, but maybe the upstairs because it does include a full kitchen. The owner, Wendy, also has other beautiful properties in the Jerome area and in Sedona that are just beautiful that you can ask about. One is alleyinn.com...check out the pics on the website!!! read more

The Miner's Cottage was a nice escape and I was surprised to find that it offered Wifi and satellite TV. I enjoyed the little shops located within reasonable walking distance. I am not fond of staying in hotels, however you can tell that a lot of love was put into the place. The surrounding area near the Miner's Cottage was pleasantly quiet. The locals are warm and welcoming. It was a nice change of pace coming from the hustle and bustle of a busy city. read more

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with The Miner's Cottage. I never even saw the inside of the place. We originally booked two nights through Airbnb, but it turned out we could only stay one. I changed the booking online and wrote Wendy, the owner, a note. She never responded. A couple of days before the trip, I received an automated email confirming our stay for two nights. I called Wendy and left a message. (Her cell phone has no name or ID of any kind on it) and she got back to me saying there was a two night minimum. She then said she'd make an exception, but I had to book through her directly rather than Airbnb since her setting on that site was for two nights. I gave her my credit card number. Wendy said she was driving and pulled over to write it down. On the day of our trip, I called her an hour before we arrived and left a message. We got to The Miner's Cottage at 4:30, and found a locked door and no Wendy. I called her again, waited around, called again. I called my credit card company and found out that she had never ran my card. I called again, waited some more and finally we started a frantic sojourn through Jerome--it was getting dark--until we luckily found another hotel with a vacant room. I have yet to hear anything from Wendy. At this point, I'm not holding my breath. read more

The Miner's Cottage is beautiful and handily situated in Jerome. My boyfriend and I rented the Artist's Loft upstairs portion of the house. All in all it was a good experience. The place is beautifully decorated and well thought out with one exception... no washcloths! I did not check Yelp before heading out on this trip as I wanted something spontaneous otherwise I would have seen the other review. Apparently washcloths are just not this innkeepers thing. Bring your own or use paper towels like I did. The place had a variety of outdoor areas to enjoy including a double swing under a large tree and amazing leaded glass windows that let you wake up bathed in rainbows. The huge tub with center mounted fixtures was made for fairytale bubble baths. By the time of our visit the hot tub had been removed. I think it should be put back with winter coming or that the rate should be reduced to stay. A hot tub and washcloths would have made this place perfect and ensured our return. read more

Totally adorable and unique. There are two levels, the top is a bit more spacious, but the bottom is super cozy. Wendy, the owner, is quick to respond when you book in Air B&B and very generous. We booked the lower level, but she let us choose from either since the top wasn't booked. It is very homey with fire places and decks overlooking the Verde Valley. Very much worth the cost. We just got here and I'm trying to decide when we can come back! read more

The Miner's Cottage - How cute is this little bed nook! - Guest Houses Near Me - Jerome, Arizona

when you sit out on the deck and take in the view it almost takes your breath away. The house is actually two cottages and they are both filled with beautiful river rock and stain glass. The deck also sits so the sun never shine in your eyes. While your relaxing looking out towards Sedona and the red rocks. Watch a hot air balloon floating in the sky. Such a vacation, filled with memories. read more

We just got back from Jerome, Arizona and stayed at the Miner's cottage. We had a fabulous time. My husband and I brought our daughter and her husband for the long Thanksgiving weekend. This place was decorated wonderfully and has washcloths on the premises now. It was easy to walk into town for shopping or meals, but we cooked everything including a Thanksgiving dinner on the premise. The first day we hiked Red Rock Crossing. The next day we went to some Indian ruins, shopped in Sedona and the guys went golfing. It is also about 2 1/2 hours to the Grand Canyon. Wendi, the owner, was very easy to work with. I would definitely come back again. read more

Stayed up in Jerome with my girlfriend for a little bit of R&R, I was extremely happy with the room we stayed in, the Artist's Lookout which had a spectacular view. When we arrived the room was clean, well kept, and well maintained. It had WiFi and Dish satellite so we were able to curl up by the fire place, watch TV and surf the net as we desired. The cottage is located a stones throw from some amazing Jerome restaurants; including The Bordello of Jerome who's burgers far out classed the haunted burger and The Mine Cafe. The people in town were great and greeted you with a smile and wave, our trip definitely felt too short. Had some great ice cream and fudge from O J's Copper Country Fudge, looking forward to our next small town trip! read more

Wow...I was blown away by what Wendi has done with this intimate, eclectic, and very location-oriented cottage in Jerome. We arrived in March (no bugs...what bugs at 5246 feet MSL??) found the cottage and enjoyed it's funkiness, it's warmth, and it's intimacy. My wife and I had been in the area for a few days in Cottonwood and had no idea what to expect except from other Yelp reviews. We were amazingly surprised at this little find tucked in the corner before you enter Jerome. The fireplace was perfect (only source of heat). The bed was luxurious and comfortable. The claw-footed bathtub, although quaint, was almost too small for my wife. The cheminaya provided warmth and light on the patio. We had such a great time. If you are going expecting access to all your daily electronics, you may be disappointed. No TV reception that I know of (she did have some VHS tapes and a couple of DVDs, along with some western novels) . If you want some alone time or intimate time with that special someone, this is the place to go. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and it is only 100 steps from the Flatiron Cafe up the street, the best deal going for breakfast and lunch (had to throw that in...both make a complimentary pairing!!) read more

We just returned from a stay at the Miner' Cottage in Jerome. If your expectations are the luxury and comfort of a resort, this may not be for you, but if you understand you are staying in a very old, historic house that has been beautifully restored, then you will not be disappointed. It has two separate apartments, one up (large) and one down (small). They are both very different and the top one by far the most desirable. (We were there with friends and lost the coin toss and had the bottom apartment :-) We were in the BOTTOM ROOM: The good: The gas fireplace in the rocks was amazing and in October was more than adequate to keep us very warm and cozy...we had to use it very little as the rocks heat up and it stays nice and warm even without it...actually after a couple hours it was too hot and the room stayed warm all night. The linens and towels (we had plenty of washcloths) were lovely and the bed comfy....down comforter and pillows, what a treat. There is a "lived in" feeling with lots of little mining decorations, etc. It was clean and unlike other reviews, we loved the outside shower just a step out of our bedroom door. We enjoyed that it was fun and funky just like the house..(the slant of all the houses in Jerome give new meaning to "rolling out of bed" :-)) Wendy stocks it with a coffee pot and coffee, cups, glasses and utensils, etc. a tiny but clean hotel type frig for cold drinks, etc. and a little microwave. The restoration is beautiful and tasteful..beautiful leaded glass.... and the front porch is a great place to sit and read. Good lighting inside and plenty of outlets for such an old restored house! Location is great and it has good parking spaces, a major item in Jerome. Lots of little outside areas where you can relax. We were happy the hot tub was removed because it gave greater privacy and quiet to the downstairs unit. The people responsible during our stay were very helpful and Wendy is great. They have gone to great lengths to make an old historic home comfortable, beautiful and enjoyable. The not-so-good: The rocking chairs inside were really cute but not comfortable for a week stay, even with pillows. I would remove the rather useless loveseat and one of the woooden rockers in favor of an amoire and one comfy chair. There was only a chest of 3 drawers for clothing, no amoire or closet to hang things and very little space to set things in the bathroom. We took the luggage rack and put a towel over it in the bathroom to give us a place to set things. A folding wooden tv tray would be a nice addition in the bathroom. The tub has no shower accessories, it is tub-only so if you are older it is very hard to get in and out of the tub because there is nothing to grab ahold of and the tub is slick....washing your hair without a hand held shower attachments is almost impossible. In October we did not get sun on the porch which was disappointing but in hot weather must be a blessing. If someone is staying above, you hear every footstep in the creaky wooden floors which did not bother us, just be aware. It is an historic house so we expected quirky things....we didn't want a Best Western experience so we were quite happy with this choice for our stay. NOTE: The upstairs is a totally different exoerience, bigger, more comfortable, full kitchen etc. huge bath, more amenities, etc..... this review is for the downstairs apartment only. read more
