What's nearby

  • Sedona has some of the best hiking and views you can find in all of the Southwest USA. But my favorite parts of Sedona are the little known secret places, that you can explore and experience without the crowds. This gem is one of those secret locations. Sedona almost never gets snow, and when it does snow, it rarely sticks. So when a giant snow storm shut down the whole city last winter, we were dying to go out and get some epic snow pictures! Locals refer to this spot as the Birthing Cave. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy parts of the city. It is a fairly easy hike to get here, but getting up into the cave is a whole other story! It requires a lot of scrambling, and some serious guts! But boy is the effort worth it! #wheretoexplorenext #thebestisyettocome #adventure #getlost #optoutside #getoutdoors #naturelovers #nature #adventureculture #explore #exploremore #keepexploring #wildandfree #wildernessculture #travel #travelstoke #roamtheplanet #wanderlust #travellife #travelgram #letsgosomewhere #mytinyatlas #stayandwander #wandermore #adventureawaits #liveyouradventure #discoverearth #sheisnotlost #iamatraveler

  • Tlaquepaque (pronounced T-la-keh-pah-keh), Sedona Arizona's Arts & Crafts Village, on of the best things to do in Sedona. Nestled beneath the shade of the sycamores on the banks of beautiful Oak Creek in Sedona, Tlaquepaque is the most distinctive Sedona shopping experience to be found in the Southwest. Authentically fashioned after a traditional Mexican village, Tlaquepaque, meaning the "best of everything," has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970's. Its vine covered stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways and magnificent arched entryways give you the feeling that Tlaquepaque has been here for centuries. Originally conceived as an artist community, Tlaquepaque is a perfect setting to witness gifted Sedona artisans absorbed in their work. It's not uncommon to venture upon a well-known sculptor working on his or her latest piece right in one of the Tlaquepaque galleries. With over 50 specialty shops and exclusive art galleries, shopping becomes a joyful revelation of fabulous art treasures and distinctive gifts around every corner. #LikeALocal

Lovely Stay

My wife and I wanted to get away for a romantic weekend to celebrate our third wedding anniversary. Zen retreat proved to be a perfect launching spot for a relaxing and fun filled adventure. We enjoyed the hot tub every morning which was a real bonus. The studio was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the location on the edge of town and the neighborhood was extremely quiet which was a bonus. Short walk to uptown Sedona was a plus as we were able to walk to dinner two nights without the hassle of fining parking. Overall experience was excellent and we would stay there again if we make it to Sedona in the future.

Would absolutely stay here again! Lodgings were comfortable with lovely views of the red rocks right outside the window. We were provided with everything needed to make fresh, french-press coffee each morning, which helped get our day started so much quicker. The hot tub was a wonderful place to relax at the end of a long day of hiking, with unblocked views of the stars above. Based on other reviews, we thought we may hear neighbors through the shared wall with Desert Retreat, but it was completely quiet throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property for anyone staying in the area. It was a slightly further drive to popular hikes like the Subway and Bear Mountain on the West end of town, but the proximity to Uptown shops was unbeatable, and the drive to the West end was very easy.

Super cute and great uptown location!

Minus a little miscommunication about the location of the key when we checked in, our stay was flawless. Property was clean and set up as advertised. When we did have an issue finding the key, Skye responded within 30min. There were other guests staying in the adjacent property, they were very nice and respectful as well. Property is in premium location uptown; it is walking distance from a bunch of cute shops and restaurants - We went on a busy high tourist/holiday weekend and traffic was pretty nuts trying to get back uptown after exploring different areas of Sedona (took 30m to drive the final 2 miles during peak hours) but as long as we anticipated that it didn’t interfere with our ability to have a relaxing visit. Would stay there again and recommend to family/friends.

A nice enough property in a great location but beware that there is next to no soundproofing. An adjacent property rented out by the same landlord can have loud guests, and you can hear their stay to the level of conversations and them using the toilet. We were kept up by their lively evening. Not necessarily the host’s fault but it may impact your stay.

Location, location, location

My wife and I wanted a post-Christmas getaway in a picturesque location. Sedona immediately came to mind and we found the ideal place. Our unit was located within an easy 15 minute walk from the heart of Sedona where we found many restaurants and souvenir shops. The unit is ideal for two people. It is cozy, warm, and in a quiet neighborhood with a designated parking space right by the front door. However, the cooking options were limited to a hot plate, toaster oven and an electric kettle. I would recommend this place for a romantic getaway in a beautiful location.

a few minor issues to be aware of prior to booking

We appreciated our stay at the Zen Studio, but had some minor inconveniences: The door does not have a deadbolt or security lock, just a door handle twist lock. There is a large gap under the door, big enough for the mouse we found in the VRBO to come in, which we had to then chase around and out the door. We contacted the host about the mouse and they said they would “let the owner know” and we heard nothing after that, VRBO itself was no help either. We shoved a towel under the door to prevent more critters from coming in. The bed is VERY soft, which works great for a lot of people but not everyone. The studio has an AC swamp cooler in the wall (shown in pictures) as the only cooling system, for which you are instructed by the host to open the windows 6” for it to cool the space at a decent rate. There is not a microwave in the unit, only a toaster oven and an electric portable burner (we should have looked closer at the pictures… we thought the toaster oven in pics was a microwave). The pictures are not up to date as there is some different furniture and furnishings now. There was also hair on the bedspread and floor of the bathroom when we arrived, as well as a towel with makeup stains on it. Pleasant surprises: oils diffuser, herbal tea provided, nice new windows, quaint space, no noise issues, tv (we didn’t turn it on).
