Sedona Arts Center

This hotel at 400 North State Route 89A in Sedona runs under a national chain brand, and its full name covers two kinds of lodging: hotel rooms and creekside villas. Say which one you want when you book, since a villa and a room are priced and laid out differently. Rates, loyalty points and cancellation rules follow the chain rather than a local desk. No hours are listed, which is normal for a front desk. Call 1 928-282-4001 to ask about villas, parking, pet rules or a late arrival. No email address is on file.

A Christian church on North State Route 89A in Sedona, at number 401. Wayside Bible Chapel keeps its own website, which is the place to look for the current service schedule, since small congregations move times with the season and with holidays. The phone number is (928) 282-4262, and a call is the surest way to confirm when a service starts and whether anything is running for children that morning. Visitors are usually welcome without arranging anything ahead. Ask about accessibility if steps are a problem, because older church buildings vary a great deal on that.

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.

Earth Wisdom Tours runs guided jeep tours from 293 N State Rt. 89A in Sedona. A guide drives the jeep and talks about the land along the way. The website lists tours to places such as Airport Mesa, Schnebly Hill, and Red Rock Crossing, plus rough road trips. It also has a virtual 360 tour so you can look before you book. To choose a tour, check times, or ask about prices, call (928) 282-4714. Ask how long each tour lasts and how bumpy the ride is, so you can pick the one that fits your group.

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.

An art gallery at 70 Dry Creek Road in Sedona, set away from the main shopping streets. The gallery sells work by the artists it represents, and what hangs on the walls changes as pieces sell and new shows arrive. Because hours vary with the season and with private showings, calling first is the safest way to avoid a closed door. The number is (928) 204-1765. Staff can tell you which artists are currently represented, whether a particular piece is still available and how shipping and framing are handled. The website carries images of current work if you want to look before driving out.

Fine art is the business at Mountain Trails Galleries Sedona, 336 Patio Azul in Sedona. The gallery site groups its work into artists, monuments, estate art and giclee prints, and it runs gallery tours and artist events through the year. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Call 928-282-3225 or email fineart@mountaintrailssedona.com to ask which artists are showing, since the walls change with the event calendar. Event dates are not kept in this record, so check with the gallery before making a trip for one.

Glass blowing happens in the open here, and visitors can take a class rather than only watch. The Melting Point offers beginner sessions, longer master classes, private parties and artist residencies, plus finished glass for sale in the shop. Children are welcome, though ages and the rules for the hot shop are worth asking about before you book. The studio is at 1449 West State Route 89A in Sedona and opens from 10 in the morning to 6 at night, every day. Classes fill, so call (928) 554-4754 ahead of a visit. Closed toe shoes and tied back hair are usual near a furnace.
