Miles Away from the Ordinary Mescal Canyon Retreat is an integral part of our 20.5 acre property nestled in a small valley in the High Desert of Central Arizona. We are in the heart of Verde Valley Wine Country, only 18 miles outside of Sedona. The entire property is “off the grid” which means we produce all our electricity from solar energy. All our buildings have been built with natural, green and sustainable materials. We have a large organic garden, a small flock of chicken and a 100-vine vineyard. The property has a collection of buildings that have been hand built by myself and Andrea over the 38 years that we have called this land our home. There is our Main House, the Casita where our caretakers reside, 2 B&B Rooms with the adjacent Canyon Studio, a Hot Tub and Hot Tub Terrace, a Massage Studio, Workshop and Dance Space (Cedar Studio) and my Architecture Office. The property is bordered on 3 sides by National Forest and the remaining side is private land. We are located at the end of the road at the mouth of Mescal Canyon. The Sage Room is comprised of a private bedroom with a queen sized bed and bathroom in a hand built passive solar stone building. The room has its own A/C and heating so you can adjust the temperature to your preference. The room is separated from the main house by a courtyard and has a patio adjacent to the room entry. Adjacent to the bedrooms is the Canyon Studio. This space has a full kitchen and eating area, giving you the opportunity to prepare your own meals. As well as providing a common area for relaxing and gathering with one another during your stay. It is complete with a fireplace for the colder times of year. The Canyon Studio is also a hand built, passive solar stone building with an outdoor flagstone terrace and a beautiful view up into Mescal Canyon and Mingus Mountain. Mescal Canyon Retreat is the perfect home away from home for an individual, or couple. It is a beautiful and private location for a romantic escape, an individual or couple looking to find peace and quiet in nature or for someone needing a getaway online work environment. We are now supported by Star-Link for our Wi-Fi access. During your stay the Canyon Studio will be stocked with some organic breakfast staples that you can incorporate into your breakfast each morning. We provide organic coffee & teas, fresh eggs from our chickens, fruits, nuts and cereals. Full gourmet breakfasts and dinners are available at an additional charge period. Please let us know in advance, if possible, if this is something you’d like to take advantage of. Guests have full access to the hot tub and adjoining terrace. The terrace is set up on the hill with a wood burning fire place and breath-taking views of Mingus Mountain and up into the National Forest. On clear night the terrace is the best place on the property for star gazing. Mescal Canyon Retreat is centrally located in the Verde Valley’s Wine Country. The nearby towns of Clarkdale, Jerome and Cottonwood are all close by with lots to explore. We are directly adjacent to the National Forest for hiking. This area has wonderful Native American archeological sites, and you can go kayaking and tubing down the beautiful Verde River. Distance to nearby points of interest: Sedona - 18 Miles Old Town Cottonwood - 3.5 miles Clarkdale - 5.6 miles Jerome - 9.5 miles Yavapai College SW Wine Centre - 1 mile Page Springs Vineyard & Winery’s - 13 miles Verde Canyon Railroad - 6 miles Montezuma’s Castle - 23 miles Flagstaff - 45 miles Prescott - 45 miles We only rent out to one individual, couple, or group at a time, so you will not be sharing B&B facilities with any other guests than yourselves. If you are looking to take your relaxation further, Andrea is a licensed and insured Massage Therapist with 38 years of experience. She offers integrated massage to guests during their stay. Pricing is $85 for 1 hour and $100 1.5 hours. Guests can request an appointment and all fees are paid directly to Andrea. We do request a minimum 3 night stay to give you the chance to really relax and soak in the beauty of the land - we are happy to accommodate longer stays. We are now supported by Star-Link for our Wi-Fi access.
