L'Auberge de Sedona

"Among Sedona’s adobe facades and New Age-y crystal shops, this creekside stay features 62 luxury cottages, 21 lodge-style guest rooms, and a standalone five-bedroom Creekhouse. The cottages feature cozy fireplaces, king-size beds, luxury amenities, and free Wi-Fi, but their best features are alfresco: Huge outdoor showers for shampooing in the moonlight, and broad decks where you can kick off your flip-flops and listen to the rushing Oak Creek. The idyllic creekside location can be experienced in every part of guests’ stays, from fine dining at Cress on Oak Creek, to visits to the L’Apothecary spa, where guests can make their own body products using the property’s signature Oak Creek essence."
