After reading all of the glowing reviews here for the Sedona Cathedral Hideaway I find it hard not to be repetitive. We decided to visit Sedona for the first time for our 25th anniversary and wanted someplace special to stay, we were not disappointed. We stayed for five nights in the Safari room and wish it could have been longer.
Never having been to Sedona I at first hesitated to choose the Hideaway because it looked like it was too far out of town but I didn’t realize how close everything is. The location is ideal, away from the traffic, quiet with spectacular views within walking distance of Oak Creek and Cathedral Rock trails.
There is nothing that I can add to other reviews of the breakfast that Kathy and Larry make for you, if you haven’t read them it is everything you could possibly want and too much of it. We had breakfast each day on the deck entertained by a swarm of hummingbirds that were coming so close that you could feel and hear the wind from their wings. With another few days I’m sure we would have had them drinking from our hands. In the evening while photographing the sunset from the deck we saw coyotes run by and listened to them howling to each other from all around.
Sedona is without a doubt the most beautiful and unusual place that I have ever been and I would say the same for the Sedona Cathedral Hideaway. Kathy and Larry have thought of everything and work very hard to make your stay special, always there to help plan your day or equip you for a hike while still letting you have as much privacy as you want.
There is so much to see around Sedona that it was nice to have someone to guide us to the best of it. When we talked of taking a jeep tour they convinced us that we would be happier using a local guide, Mike Krajnak from Southwest Outside adventures, who took us on a back country tour with some short hikes that we would not have done on a jeep tour, good choice.
If you have never stayed at a B&B the Sedona Cathedral Hideaway would be a great place to start, but Kathy and Larry will set a standard hard to find anywhere. I hope we can go back sometime.
