Oaxaca

A coffee house on Cedar Street in Sedona, at number 274, serving coffee and tea. Free wireless internet is available, which makes it a workable stop for anyone who needs to sit with a laptop for an hour. Doors open early, at 6 a.m., and close at 6 p.m. Seating is limited compared with a large cafe, so mornings can be busy. The phone number is (928) 862-2562. Call ahead to check the hours before a long drive, since small cafes adjust their schedule around holidays and slow seasons. Ask about the menu and whether food is served when you call.

A small inn at 376 Cedar Street in Sedona, a quiet street close to the middle of town. The innkeepers are Noreen and Malachy. Booking is not handled at a front desk: availability goes through Foothills Property Management, which is who answers when you call (928) 282-9533. Email can be sent to info@rosetreeinn.com. Because it is a small property, rooms are limited and dates fill in busy seasons, so ask early. Confirm the check in arrangements when you book, since a property without a staffed desk usually arranges key pickup or a code ahead of your arrival.

Rooms at 230 Apple Avenue, a short walk from the shops and restaurants in the middle of Sedona. Dogs are welcome, and the hotel describes steps it takes to run in a more eco friendly way. Alongside standard rooms there is a set of larger villa units. Seasonal specials appear from time to time, and the site keeps an area guide and a list of local events for guests planning their days. Reach the desk at (928) 282-7176, or email reservations@matterhorninn.com, to check dates, ask about pet rules and any added fee, and confirm parking and check in times before you arrive.

Mexican cooking at 350 Jordan Road in Sedona, with a menu drawn from markets in Mexico rather than standard border fare. The kitchen has published cookbooks, and gift certificates and merchandise are sold through the site. Reservation and seating policies are posted online, and they matter here, because the dining room is popular and walk in seats are limited. Hours are not listed here, so check before you go. Call (928) 203-0105 or email info@elotecafe.com to ask about a table, about the current menu and about how far ahead reservations open for the date you want.

Italian food in Sedona, at 6701 W State Route 89A on the western edge of town. Dining in, takeout and catering are all offered, and tables can be reserved ahead. The bar shows games, and the restaurant posts upcoming events on its own site rather than keeping a fixed schedule. Ordering online is an option if you would rather collect your food. Hours are not listed here, so call before you go, particularly on a weeknight. The number is (928) 254-9544, and email can be sent to dan4peace@aol.com. Ask about group bookings and catering packages when you get in touch.
