When you first start searching for "Where to stay near Sedona", you will quickly realize that hotels and Airbnbs are EXPENSIVE. During our Arizona Weekend Road Trip, we found that hotels in downtown Sedona were over 400 dollars per night. I don't know about you, but I am FAR too cheap...frugal to spend that kind of money for a plain old hotel room. WELL, with a bit more searching, I found the COOLEST Airbnb just 30 minutes outside of Sedona for a fraction of the cost. Diamond Gal Inn was uniquely designed and decorated to include all the Arizona Wild West vibes with authentic 1800's Victorian Touches. It is a unique stay near Sedona that you will not soon forget!

Thank you for your support! Where is Diamond Gal Inn Located? Diamond Gal Inn is located in Cornville, AZ. It is just 30 minutes outside of Sedona and 90 minutes from the Phoenix Airport. When I visited, Sedona was PACKED (I'm talking traffic jams and people EVERYWHERE), so it was great to spend a night out of the chaos enjoying the peacefulness of nature. What amenities are included? If the unique decor isn't enough, Diamond Gal Inn is located on 52 acres to explore. Among these acres, you will find horses, donkeys, cows, a pond (with a paddle boat!), a tennis court, and the cutest gazebo. Inside your room, you can enjoy the comfy queen-sized bed, mini-fridge, claw-foot tub (...the cutest), and themed 1800's decor. Our room was the "Anne Oakley" room with a brief history lesson and themed decorations. After waking up in the morning, you can make your way down to the bar for breakfast (toast and jelly, oatmeal, fruit) and coffee.
