A quaint inn in a convenient area of Cottonwood. I found my stay comfortable, convenient and walkable to a lot of local shoppes and restaurants. Sedona is about 30 mins away and an easy drive. Staying here was a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Sedona. Parking is also great in which there is plenty of parking located behind the inn for free.
