Guide Review - L'Auberge de Sedona
To reach your cabin at L'Auberge de Sedona, you'll pass through an arbor-like canopy that instantly makes you feel as if you're entering into a private world of romance. From the outside, your accommodations look like an old-fashioned log cabin. Cabins come complete with a covered porch that has seating for two overlooking a lazy stream populated by garrulous ducks.

Inside your intimate and elegant L'Auberge de Sedona cabin you'll find a queen or king-size bed covered with soft linens and king-size pillows and set in a handsome carved wooden frame.

In the cabin's one large room, where the eye-pleasing design elegantly blends Southwestern and Country European influences, there's also a sturdy wooden desk, small table with chairs, sofa for two (with a soft chenille throw draped over the back), TV, CD player, and armoire.

L'Auberge de Sedona also provides romantics with a bottle of red wine, two glasses, and a fireplace stocked with dry wood... all you need to ignite the flames of passion.

To drive to L'Auberge from Flagstaff, take Route 89A through the enchanting Coconino National Forest. One of America's most diverse National Forests, its vistas include the famous Red Rocks of Sedona and forests thick with Ponderosa pines.

The town of Sedona is home to galleries, boutiques, an exceptional chocolate shop, and Oaxaca restaurant, which serves delicious and affordable Mexican and Southwestern fare.
