Cozy Cactus

Sedona


This seven-room B&B, run by Carrie and Mark, works well for outdoorsy types – the Southwest-style house bumps up against Agave Trail, and is just around the bend from cyclist-friendly Bell Rock Pathway. Post-adventuring, get comfy beside the firepit on the back patio, perfect for wildlife-watching and stargazing, and enjoy the three-course breakfast that awaits you the next morning.

Breakfast alternates between savory and sweet (huevos rancheros; apple-pie French toast) and comes with fruit and Mark's famous muffins. Some dates require a two-night minimum stay.
