Beautiful Outdoor Spaces to Enjoy Sedona’s Views
Sedona’s scenery is one of its biggest draws, and our Porter rentals are built to help you enjoy every bit of it right from your backyard. Many of our homes feature private outdoor spaces where you can sit back and take in the red rock views from your own patio, balcony or backyard.

Some of our places to rent in Sedona, AZ go even further with amenities like private pools, hot tubs and outdoor fire pits.

These outdoor spaces create the perfect balance of privacy, comfort and scenery that elevate your entire Labor Day getaway.
Labor Day Weather in Sedona
Labor Day Weekend falls at the tail end of Sedona’s summer season, which means warm, sunny days and cooler evenings. Daytime highs usually sit in the upper 80s or low 90s, while nighttime temperatures drop into the 60s. The dry climate makes the heat feel more manageable than many other destinations, and you will usually find clear skies throughout the weekend.
This type of weather makes it easy to plan a full schedule without worrying about rain or extreme heat. You can comfortably hike, sightsee or simply sit outside and enjoy the view. The cooler mornings and evenings are perfect for early hikes, coffee on the patio or evenings spent under the stars. Just bring sunscreen, light layers and plenty of water to stay comfortable throughout your weekend.
Hike the Red Rocks
Labor Day is a perfect time to hit the trails, and Sedona is famous for its hiking. Popular trails like Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Devil’s Bridge are all within easy reach of our Porter vacation rentals. Whether you are an experienced hiker or simply looking for a scenic stroll, there are trails for every level.
Early mornings are usually the best time to hike in early September, giving you cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. The views from these trails are incredible, offering wide open panoramas of Sedona’s red rock formations and desert landscape. Even short hikes offer rewarding scenery, making them a great option if you want to balance adventure with plenty of downtime at your rental.
Cool Off with Swimming
While Sedona is better known for its desert beauty than its lakes, you can still find great places to cool off during you Sedona Labor Day Weekend getaway. Slide Rock State Park, located in nearby Oak Creek Canyon, is one of the most popular swimming spots. The natural rock water slide and clear creek water make it a fun place to spend a few hours with the family.
Several of our vacation homes also offer private pools or access to community pools, giving you another way to cool off without leaving your rental. Whether you spend your afternoons swimming or just lounging poolside with a drink, having access to the water makes your Labor Day Weekend even more relaxing.
