Vacation rentals in Sedona

Known for its stunning and unique geography, Sedona is a dream destination for those seeking adventure and the great outdoors.

On a hot day, there is nothing more exhilarating and refreshing than a trip to the Verde River, which runs outside of the town and can be reached by car in about 30 minutes from any of Sedona’s vacation rentals. Visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to ways to enjoy the river, which include kayaking, rafting and guided trips.

The hiking in the area surrounding Sedona is some of the best and most picturesque in the country. Popular areas include Bear Mountain, Boynton Canyon and Devil’s Bridge known for their unique rock formations and wildlife. Hikers can enjoy these areas on self-guided trips or with a guide from numerous companies. Vacationers should be aware that some trailheads require a recreation pass for parking, which can be obtained in the town of Sedona. Hikers are always advised to consult an up-to-date guidebook before beginning any hike.

Another great way to explore the local area is to rent or bring your own mountain bike. The red rock of Sedona lends itself well to mountain biking and there are trails available for both experienced and amateur bikers to enjoy. Again, trails are available to explore on your own or with the expertise of an experienced guide.

No matter the outdoor experience, you will be happy you have chosen to stay in your vacation home in Sedona so that you can return for a cool shower at the end of a long and enjoyable day exploring.

Oak Creek Canyon

This is an enormous river gorge reminiscent of the Grand Canyon with truly breathtaking views. You can take a guided tour to see all the best spots here.

Devil’s Bridge Trail

This is an intensely exciting hike where you’ll step out along a natural ‘bridge’ jutting over the gorge. The views will show you why Arizona is famed for its astounding beauty.

Chapel of the Holy Cross

Set among the rocks up high is this unusual and modern Catholic chapel which opened in 1956. Its interior is equally quirky and features very unique design elements.

Bell Rock

This is a hiking trail which is somewhat more easy-going for beginners than Devil’s Bridge, still offering great perspectives of the area including the eponymous Bell Rock formation.

Cathedral Rock

This is one of Arizona’s most recognisable sights often featuring on postcards. It’s called Cathedral Rock because the formation actually looks like a twin-spire cathedral.
