Sedona Cathedral Hideaway

I wish I could give a million stars for this amazing place. My husband and I have stayed in a number of B & B’s around the world, but Kathy and Larry’s tops them all, and exceedingly so. The care and attention they give to their guests is unparalleled. Nothing is done «halfway» with them and this is evident when you explore their immaculately maintained property. Kathy and Larry designed and built this home with two beautiful suites for guests to enjoy. There is a beautiful rock garden where one can go to meditate or ponder about life. You can watch hummingbirds feed from the deck or enjoy one of the many other sitting areas outside to stargaze. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the Sedona Cathedral Hideaway is the perfect tranquil sanctuary to do just that. It is perfectly situated on the more quiet side of town away from all the crowded tourist spots but still conveniently close to many of the attractions you want to see.
No where in Sedona will you find B & B accommodations as spacious and luxurious as these (I know because I’ve looked at them all). The room amenities offered are endless: a very comfortable sleep number bed with an assortment of different types of pillows depending on your preference, jacuzzi jetted tub, huge (I mean HUGE!) double shower and double sinks, towel warmer, in-​room fridge and microwave, coffee and tea bar, fireplace, surround sound for music, robes and slippers, an endless supply of beverages and snacks, turn down service… I really could go on and on but you get the idea. They have literally thought of everything you could possibly want! We stayed in the Safari Room on the second floor, which was very private, had its own balcony and the most beautiful view of Cathedral Rock.
Kathy and Larry know just about everything there is to see, do and eat in the area and can answer any questions and/​or provide suggestions. On our first day Kathy even accompanied us to Red Rock Crossing (a 5-​minute walk from the property) so that we wouldn’t get lost. She was also able to arrange and book couples massages for us in our room on very short notice and she offers in-​house spa treatments. You will find some of her skin care to products in your room to try, another nice touch.
Every morning we enjoyed «create-​your-​own» beautifully presented custom breakfasts with organic ingredients and the freshest eggs from their chicken coop, something we had never experienced before at any B & B. Larry provided extra entertainment every morning at breakfast with an extra special performance on our wedding anniversary, something I will never forget. On our last day we enjoyed breakfast outside on the deck so we could watch the hummingbirds while eating and Kathy used their special wedding China in honor of our anniversary. There are many things Kathy and Larry do to make you feel at home, but it’s the small thoughtful gestures like this that really show you how much they care. 5-​star resorts may offer plenty of luxurious amenities but may lack personalized attention. B & B’s may have more personalized attention but usually lack many amenities. At Sedona Cathedral Hideaway, you get to enjoy both. I don’t think this is an easy feat to accomplish but Kathy and Larry have done so with flying colors.
I know I’ve provided a laundry list of wonderful amenities and services available here, but Kathy and Larry truly are the cherry on top of the sundae, so to speak. They are wonderful conversationalists and are such pleasant company, but they also respect the privacy of their guests and are not at all intrusive, something that my husband and I appreciated so much.
My only regrets? Not staying for longer and not being able to stay at the property and enjoy it as much as we wanted to. It was our first time in Sedona so we were out hiking or sightseeing most of the day. I am looking forward to our next stay here when we can really relax and enjoy our stay to the fullest. I was genuinely sad and felt emotional on the last day knowing we had to leave such a wonderful place. I don’t think there is any doubt that we will return.

Kathy and Larry are wonderful hosts, welcoming a lucky few to their beautiful home. It has stupendous views and is steps from Red Rocks Crossing, below Cathedral Rock, one of the most moving natural landscapes one can find anywhere. Talented cooks, engaging conversationalists, and attentive hosts, Kathy and Larry provide a luxurious place to call home while exploring this very special place.

This B&B is wonderful! We stayed here after a week long backpacking trip, and the giant shower and huge room were perfect for pampering.
Larry shared his homemade ice cream with us, which was a nice treat. It was great to be able to hike to the top of Cathedral Rock right from the B&B.
Breakfasts were wonderful — we each got to request whatever we wanted, and everything was delicious.
We kept emptying the fridge of water bottles to fill our camelbaks, and it was always full the next time we went back. Note to hikers: you can fill your bottles at the kitchen sink (we didn’t learn this until the end of our stay).
We recently booked a return trip for one night. We were able to do so because although the room was booked for the night we wanted, the other guests were return guests and were flexible — so they just started their stay one day late. How wonderful is THAT?! Unfortunately, we ended up having to cancel our trip because our backpacking schedule changed.

We indulged ourselves in our second post-​Thanksgiving Day stay at the exhilarating Sedona Cathedral Hideaway. After reminiscing all year about our last visit, and building up potentially undeliverable expectations going into November… you guessed it — our return to Kathy and Larry’s paradise was even more pleasurable than hoped. Maybe it was due to adding an extra day, or possibly it was including that small spa treatment. Maybe it’s just that we’re in a great mood while we write this review, since we already have another trip booked for early spring (why wait another year?).
Almost certainly it’s really because we felt like we were returning as friends and not just guests. I’ve never experienced any business that has ever been friendlier, more welcoming, more helpful, and especially more inspiring. Sure this B&B has a wonderful and remarkable location, incredible scenery, a luxurious guest suite, pampered service, scrumptious breakfast menu, in a private/​intimate setting — but the real vibe of this place is the owners. We love spending time with Kathy and Larry; discussing the best things to see/​do in Sedona (they’ve done it all), photography, love of nature, respect of the land and its history… all with a certain spiritual/​soulful zest.
We heartily recommend the SCH for the best complete & total experience for the money.
