Sedona Thanksgiving & Christmas Rentals

Sedona in late November and December is the version of the desert people do not expect. Days are usually sunny and in the 50s or low 60s, cool enough for a hike and warm enough for lunch outside. Nights drop into the 30s under some of the clearest skies of the year. The red rocks pick up a dusting of snow a few times each winter and the town lights up for the season, with the Festival of Lights at Tlaquepaque a few minutes from our Uptown homes.

Holiday weeks are the hardest dates of the year to find a home that holds a full family. Uptown Estate sleeps 25 across two neighboring Uptown homes under one booking. Our five-bedroom homes sleep 11 to 13 each, and every one has a full kitchen for the big meal, a private hot tub for after it, and a game room or swim spa to keep cousins occupied.

Pools and swim spas can be heated October through May as an add-on, so a Christmas swim is on the table. Hot tubs are available year-round (at Sedona Shangri-La, hot tub heating is a $50 per night add-on). Holiday dates book early; the live rates table below shows what is still open.

Common Questions

Sedona Holiday Rental FAQ

What is the weather like in Sedona at Thanksgiving and Christmas?

Mild days, cold nights. Late November and December typically bring sunny afternoons in the 50s to low 60s and nights in the 30s. Snow falls a few times most winters and usually melts off the rocks within a day, which makes for spectacular photos. Bring layers for the evenings and plan to use the hot tub.

How many people can stay in one home for the holidays?

Up to 25 at Uptown Estate, which combines two neighboring Uptown homes with two full kitchens under one booking. Our other homes sleep 11 to 13. For a family larger than 25, ask our team about booking two or more homes together.

Can we swim at Christmas?

Yes, if you turn the heat on. Pool and swim spa heating is available October through May as a nightly add-on. Hot tubs are available year-round; at Sedona Shangri-La the hot tub heating is a $50 per night add-on. Details for each home are on our pool homes page.

Do the homes have a kitchen big enough for a holiday dinner?

Every home has a full kitchen. Dining seating varies by home and is listed on each property page; tell our team your headcount and we will confirm the table setup. Uptown Estate has two kitchens and two dining areas across its two homes, which helps when two branches of the family both want to cook.

What is there to do in Sedona over the holidays?

Hike in the morning while it is cool and bright, then the Festival of Lights at Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village in December, Uptown shops and galleries, and the hot tub after dark under a dark-sky town. Our things to do guide and restaurant guide cover the rest.

How far ahead should we book holiday dates?

As early as you can. Thanksgiving week and the stretch from Christmas through New Year are the most requested dates of the year for large homes. The live rates table above shows which nights are still open right now.

Is there a minimum stay over the holidays?

Minimum stays vary by home and by date and are set by our pricing system, so the booking calendar on each property page is the source of truth. Holiday weeks commonly carry a longer minimum than a regular weekend.

Why book direct for a holiday stay?

Booking directly with Sedona Epic Stays carries no Airbnb guest service fee, and on a large holiday booking that is worth checking: compare the complete price for your dates, including required fees and taxes. Direct also puts you in touch with our team for the details a family holiday needs: arrival timing, bed setup and any early check-in questions.
