Below is an abridged version of a © May 26, 2020, "Verde Independent" article describing the upcoming sale of The Little Daisy Hotel. You can read the full article by purchasing a $1 one-day subscription to the newspaper at the link above.
JEROME -- Lisa Acker, owner of the former hotel that is now a mansion, and local real estate agent Donna Chesler at Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty in Sedona, have partnered with Concierge Auctions to sell the historic building on the online market place.
The mansion is listed for $5.9 million. You can still buy it before the bidding starts June 26 at 6 p.m., according to Chesler. There is no reserve or minimum bid that will be accepted, she added.
“Anyone may sign up for an account on our website ConciergeAuctions.com and watch bidding live,” Bodiford said.
An auction representative from Concierge Auctions will be on-site in Jerome for the next six weeks.
Chesler said the virtual tour on her realty site had already gotten 825,000 views. “A lot people have seen it.”
But Chesler said the auction is generating a huge amount of additional interest.
The Little Daisy hotel was built in 1919 for guests of Douglas and for miners who worked in the nearby Little Daisy Mine.

In 1995, Lisa and her husband, Walter, purchased the Little Daisy and started renovations immediately. Walter passed away on Sept. 26, 2017, and now Lisa has decided to sell the Little Daisy, with an original selling price of $6.2 million. The price dropped a year ago to $5.9.
The couple worked for 10 years on renovating the historic structure, Acker said. Walter and Lisa built everything for the interior since the building was stripped and left in shambles.
The building now has eight bedrooms (four are large), seven marble bathrooms, two staircases, two laundry rooms, central hallways through the house and promenades down both sides of the building. It is 12,000 square feet of interior space and 2,700 square feet in porches, 3,000 of garage and workshop and 9,000 square feet of roof-top.
Chesler, who is the vice president of the Jerome Chamber of Commerce, said there’s a lot of excitement that comes with the auction process. Everyone in the Verde Valley will be watching on that last day.
