We VRBO'd this place near Flagstaff not long ago. I could live in it, if built in the right location. Everything is wood. Floors, walls, and ceiling.

That wood looks great.

It will also have to be removed and replaced at a cost 3-4 times more than painted gypsum board after being submerged in water for days during a flood.

Wouldn't all that wood warp and be ruined by a flood too?
