L'Auberge
de Sedona - Sedona, Arizona
After being reassured that we are definitely in red rock country, we look around and are mesmerized by the stunning
beauty of the resort and its landscape. We can't miss the majestic sedimentary rocks that were deposited millions
of years ago and which form the famous red rocks that attract millions of visitors.
Everywhere we look we notice the lushness of the vegetation, reminding us that come early spring the lilacs will
be in full bloom with their unmistakable scent.
We are informed that L'Auberge is patterned after a French country inn, as its original owner, Janot "Jean"
Rocci, came to Sedona from Provence in the early 70s, and in 1982 began to build his home and cottages. In May
of 1984 L'Auberge welcomed its first guests to its original 14 cabins...read more »
Coast Guard House Historic Inn - Point Arena, California
About a mile off the highway is the Arena Cove and perched on a hill overlooking the cove was the Coast Guard House Historic Inn, a popular bed-and-breakfast that figures prominently in this area's history.
The Coast Guard was preceded by the U.S. Life-saving Service which was established in the late 19th Century as a means of providing rescue to the many mariners who lost ships or got into trouble in the fog or on the stormy seas just off the point. In 1901, the Cape Code-style building now known as the Coast Guard House was built as a "life-saving station" -- a place for members of the Life-saving Service to live. Much like today's firehouses, the rescuers lived together and were available on short notice for emergencies. In those days, they rowed out to the stricken ships in long boats that seemed almost as hazardous as the ships they were rescuing.
Innkeeper Kevin Gallagher has turned this historic building into an especially charming inn that offers guests a choice between rooms in the main building or separate cottages just behind the building... read more »
Circle Bar B Guest Ranch - Santa Ynez Mountains, California
Folks don't visit the Circle Bar B to find the latest fashion trends or neuvo cuisine, but rather to cozy up in a cabin or guest room and enjoy ranch hospitality in a spectacular outdoor setting. Instead of inroom jacuzzi spas and chocolates on the pillows, it's bunk beds for the kids and a comfortable four-poster for Mom and Dad. Instead of Pheasant under Glass, it's Kathy Williams' killer baby back ribs. Instead of preppie valets and uniformed bellhops, it's a cast of colorful, seasoned cowhands and a family of owners who all help out with the chores.
Throw in a dinner theater that's been entertaining guests for 34 consecutive years, and you have the recipe for a most unusual getaway experience.... read more »
