Briar Patch Inn

Frommer's Review

If you're searching for tranquility or a romantic retreat amid the cool shade of Oak Creek Canyon, this is the place. Located 3 miles north of Sedona on the banks of Oak Creek, this inn's cottages are surrounded by beautiful grounds where bird songs and the babbling creek set the mood. The cottages date from the 1940s but have been attractively updated (most with flagstone floors), and a Western/rustic-Mexican style now predominates. Most units have fireplaces and kitchenettes. In summer, breakfast is often served on a creekside terrace while musicians play classical guitar and violin. There are also swimming holes and a stone gazebo for massages. All in all, the Briar Patch offers a delightful combination of solitude and sophistication. The only drawback is the lack of red-rock views from the tree-shaded location.
