Guest rooms at 254 North State Route 89A in Sedona, run as part of the L'Auberge property nearby. The location puts shops, galleries and restaurants within a short walk, which suits a stay without much driving. Guests can use facilities at the neighboring resort, including its dining rooms, so ask what your rate includes when you book. Room types and rates change with the season and fill in busy months. Call (855) 474-7719 or write to info@lauberge.com to check dates, compare rooms, confirm parking and ask about the cancellation terms before you put money down.

A restaurant on Oak Creek at 301 L'Auberge Lane, part of the resort there, with tables set near the water and a duck pond nearby. Dogs are allowed, so a dog can sit with you rather than wait in the car. Because it is a creekside dining room at a resort, tables go quickly and seating outside depends on the weather. Reservations are the sensible approach. Call (855) 905-5745, or write to info@lauberge.com, to book, to ask what is on the menu at the moment, and to check whether the outdoor tables are open on your date.

Pink Adventure Tours runs guided tours in Sedona. Trips leave from Uptown Sedona, and the office is at 204 N State Rte 89A. The tours use Jeep Wrangler vehicles, and a guide drives and leads each trip. To book a seat or learn about tour choices, call (800) 873-3662. Ask how long each tour lasts, what you will see, and how bumpy the ride will be. It is also smart to ask about age limits for kids, what to wear, and how early to show up before your tour leaves. Tours can fill up in busy months, so book ahead.

Tree work and related yard jobs, including trimming, removal and landscaping. A and A Tree Cutting Service covers Sedona along with other parts of northern Arizona, and estimates are free. Two numbers appear for the company, (928) 853-6733 and (928) 606-3311, so try the second if the first goes unanswered. No street address is published for the Sedona end of the business, so the work comes to you. Before a large tree comes down near a house, a fence or a power line, ask for proof of insurance, and ask in writing who removes the wood and the stump.

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.
