The Briar Patch Inn is an intimate and rustic bed and breakfast with 19 cabins that’s about a five to 10-minute drive from downtown Sedona, hiking trails, shops, and restaurants. Rooms are comfortable and include lovely wood furnishings that add a touch of home, but there is no Wi-Fi and the main lodge (with free Wi-Fi) closes at 8 p.m. There are no TVs or telephones, which creates a serene and quiet atmosphere. The nine acres of land offers wonderful natural views as well as access to Oak Creek and there is a spa on-site. A free daily homemade breakfast receives wonderful reviews. Guests who are willing to pay more may want to consider L'Auberge de Sedona, which offers creekside accommodations with more refined on-site amenities, including a restaurant and wine cellar.

Scene
A quaint bed and breakfast with rustic charm
Cozy and antique-filled, the Briar Patch Inn has
handsome wood cabinets, furniture, and beams in the front desk and breakfast
room areas. Local
Arizona artwork is displayed throughout the property, which only offers Wi-Fi in the lodge until 8 p.m., emphasizing the unplugged vibe. The property's rustic charm continues to the outside spaces, which have ample tables and chairs
along with a grill, and Oak Creek’s calming flow of water can be heard
throughout the hotel grounds. Additionally, there are comfortable hammocks
provided in large green spaces where birds and other wildlife frequent. A pair
of grazing sheep (Wooly and Bully) live on the property and can be fed by
guests while the expansive forest area around the hotel provides a quiet and
serene space to relax. Guests are often couples or groups of couples seeking a respite in the woods.
Location
On nine acres of secluded land near downtown Sedona
About a five- to 10-minute drive from downtown
Sedona rests the Briar Patch Inn on nine acres of remote land. Hiking trails,
shops, restaurants, and major attractions are within a 15-minute car ride from the
hotel, but Oak Creek does run directly through the property. Those who want a
peaceful stay away from traffic, noise, and bustle will enjoy the tucked away location
of this bed and breakfast. Sedona Airport is just over 10-minutes away.
Rooms
Beautifully maintained wood cabins with minimal extras
Rooms at the Briar Patch Inn have stunning woodwork from the low ceilings to the furniture, and red flannel curtains match red bedspreads for a homey feel. Arizona art pieces hang from the walls and although some of the decor is dated, it feels rustic and cozy. Each cabin has either a full kitchen, a kitchenette, or a mini-fridge; all have private patios, wood-burning fireplaces, and coffeemakers and tea kettles. Each cabin has a sitting area, but the lack of interior doors may create a privacy issue. Bathrooms are average size, with shampoo/conditioner dispensers and hotel soaps. Some of the cabins only have small walk-in showers. There are no TVs, telephones, or Wi-Fi, and cell reception is not great. Some cabins have beautiful views of Oak Creek, and guests can have breakfast overlooking the water.
Features
Spa services in a creekside gazebo, free breakfast, and creek recreation

creek-side gazebo. Jin Shin Jyutsu
harmonizing healing is available as well. Even though there isn’t a pool, Oak Creek
offers swimming and fishing, and there is a library in the main lodge with
books to borrow. The area is filled with hiking trails, and the Inn's owners can offer suggestions. The on-site shop sells jewelry, pottery, and clothing. There is free Wi-Fi in the main lodge area, but it closes at 8 p.m.
