Valley of the Gods B&B

Top choice


Spend a secluded night at one of the original ranches in the area, 6.5 miles north of Hwy 163. Exposed wood-and-stone rooms have simple rustic beds, and the on-site cabin is just magical. Water is trucked in and solar power is harnessed out of necessity here (leave your hair dryer at home).
