This country-French inn on the banks of Oak Creek -- which has been called one of the best romantic getways in the world by Travel & Leisure magazine, is spread over ten flower-filled acres, its walkways shaded by tall sycamores and cottonwood trees.
Each of the 96 guest rooms is individually furnished with antiques and fine fabrics from Provence. Canopied beds, overstuffed loveseats, and stone fireplaces tempt you to stay indoors. Porches overlook the creek or colorful gardens.
If you're willing to leave the heated pool and Jacuzzi, there's a world of hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding, and red-rock jeep touring activities. Golf courses and tennis facilities are plentiful in the Sedona area. Stocked rainbow and German brown trout jump from Oak Creek.
At the AAA-Four-Diamond L'Auberge Restaurant, a five-course prix-fixe menu is served daily. Beef, poultry, and seafood are all prepared with inspired sauces that pay tribute to the French passion for food. The sommelier assists diners in selecting the perfect wine to complement a meal. L'Auberge Restaurant offers a "Wines of the World" program, with international wines selected to complement each course.
