We're so glad we did. Charlie and Susan were fabulous welcoming hosts. Always available if we needed anything, but lots of privacy if we didn't. Their lovely log home has a big front porch facing the most beautiful sand stone cliffs right in their front yard. Starry skies and amazing quiet, Lots of hot water. In the morning, Charlie (a gourmet French trained chef, who served the most perfect Eggs Benedict EVER) and Susan joined us for wonderful conversation and lots of laughter. Sorry we couldn't stay longer, as they suggested some great things to see and do, based on the many years they've been leading trips in the area. We can't recommend this B&B highly enough. They are the nicest people you would ever want to know. Hope to see them again.

I recommend better pillows though, we had like a million pillows on the bed but they were all small and thin. I would say hit the chair with a green machine because it seems stained, as well as the lamp shade was stained too. We had a toy roll under the drawers and it def needs a good vacuuming as it has other items under there too that we're not from us. It would be nice to have a little night light in the room as it's pitch black, we stayed with our toddler and had to keep a lamp on at night to see anything. Continental breakfast is decent, I'd like to have seen Apple juice since OJ is super sugary for kids. The WiFi is awesome! The TV channels are super basic so I'd recommend maybe install streaming Apps for guests. The staff is super nice and they all seem to like being there. Would def stay here again when visiting family again.

And an outdoor kitchen, which had photos of famous singers and nice flowers hanging. Aaron's dogs and horse were also friendly and great to hang out with. The stars were beautiful and bright, and the sunrise over the monuments was lovely. Tipi Village is located right next to Monument Valley, just across the state line in Utah.

Ilene is a very nice, accommodating, hospitable woman who opens her home to guests from all over the world looking to explore and experience the "West." (She's well reviewed on Google!) Having said that, your experience here is more like a stay at your Auntie's house, not a 5 star hotel with a butler service! Here's what to expect: clean house with access to kitchen; mini-fridge to store your perishables; basic, comfortable rooms; clean bathroom with towel included; good WiFi (I didn't have phone service while I was there); soft, red sand to bury your tired toes in; lots of sitting areas in front of the house to watch a beautiful sunset against the iconic Monument Valley red rocks; 30min short hike out back to Tear Drop Arch; amazing night sky; friendly, curious cat named Kyle to pet at your pleasure; grill available for your use; Navajo fry bread breakfast can be arranged. Anything else you need, just ask! Ilene is a very nice, local, Native business owner. If you are looking for a room, call Ilene between 9am-6pm Mountain Standard Time (US) to book one of the comfortable, basic rooms in the main house or the cute little cabin next door with it's own AC unit (a popular option apparently). If you are budget conscious, you can pitch a tent or car-camp in her yard for cheap. Walk-ins are welcome, but call ahead of time just to make sure there is a room available or space for you in her yard AND she knows when to expect you. Once you book, consider these BEFORE heading there for a more pleasant arrival and stay! 1) FOLLOW THE RED LINE TO THE YELLOW X on the map (see picture)! Lots of people get lost using GPS to get there...me included! 2) The location is on soft, red sand so be careful not to get stuck on the way up. 4x4 recommended but not necessary. 3) There are a handful of dogs that run around the neighborhood freely. If you are allergic or afraid of dogs, watch out! Also, some like to bark at night...BRING EARPLUGS! 4) If you are planning on pitching a tent, make sure to bring some heavy duty stakes to stake your tent down. There were a few bursts of wind that rocked my car the night I stayed there (car-camping).

This was definitely staying in someone's home and not any kind of luxury B&B. The house was air conditioned but not our room, so we slept with the door open. That said, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The shower and bathroom (shared with other guests, including those in the adjacent cabin, was new and spick-and-span, with plenty of supplies. Breakfast was lovely: we could help ourselves to cereal, juice, coffee, and fix our own eggs. There's a very friendly black cat, and a cute dog. We arrived after sunset, and left after breakfast to tour Monument Valley, so weren't able to enjoy time relaxing outside.

The place is and elevated motel in a quaint town of Blanding. You're greeted at arrival by a kindly and courtesy host. I love no door key to lose just a code to get into your room. The parking lot is nicely set up the lodge is surrounded by lovely plants and trees. We had a nice patio set outside which we used to have dinner. Our room was quite large w a big bed there's two night stands a desk area large tv on and dresser; another bed in an alcove is great for another person to have a bit of privacy w a night stand. The room had a microwave, fridge and coffee maker w a selections of coffee and teas. Bathroom was large and a great shower area w a nice shower head that had good hot water when needed. The amenities were awesome. The soap smelled great and had an amazing exfoliating seeds build in. The body lotion felt so luxurious on my skin. Towels and bed linens were perfect. If you read my posts about food you know I'm a water snob well when lodging in a sheet snob (my husband would say I'm like the princess and the pea). The sheets were soft and comfy. We had a restful nights sleep and awesome shower w great pressure. We then we welcomed to a breakfast all homemade even seemed the juices we fresher squeezed. I had the savory crusty bread w egg, tomato, kielbasa, ham and cheese inside it was so yummy. They had whole wheat cinnamon rolls that the frosting was great as well as the great flavor. The overnight chia was great loved the creaminess of the mixture but the fruit on top was fresh. The oj was as fresh and the coffee (I'm not a coffee drink but my mom said it was great). She gave us banana bread to take and it was dense and great. We ate breakfast in the back garden which was pretty and peaceful. They had patio tables, picnic tables but also had chaises and fire pits. I love that they had a bowl of chocolate to choose from rather than a chocolate on your pillow (which always seems weird and bring bugs. I would go here again and hope I get back to the area to do

Check-in was a ghost town--no one around, had to hunt down someone who looked annoyed we existed. Room felt like a dusty antique store explosion: creaky floors that groaned like they were dying every time you moved, poor lighting so dim you could barely see your own feet, and lightbulbs that were straight-up burned out. Bed was okay if you like lumpy mattresses from the 1800s, but the pillows were flat as pancakes and smelled faintly of old attic. Breakfast? More like a sad self-serve disaster. Tables were dirty, no utensils half the time, trash overflowing, and the "continental" spread was basically stale muffins, watery coffee that tasted like regret, and some sad fruit that had seen better days. No host interaction, no warm vibes--just grab-and-go neglect. The whole place had this weird abandoned energy. No real hospitality, plumbing sounded like a freight train every time someone flushed, and the "quaint" antiques just made everything feel grimy and neglected. Paid way too much for a night of discomfort and disappointment. Zero charm, zero comfort, zero reason to ever come back. It just sucked. Hard. Avoid unless you enjoy paying for regret. 0/10, would rather sleep in the car.

This is a 2.5 star review. (Three stars is an Okay experience, this visit fell short in some easily…read morecorrectable ways.) It had been hot all week. 105+ and my two prior lodging choices that advertised AC and WiFi, both failed to deliver AC or WiFi or allow canceling a non-cancelable resv. I arrived without a firm resv, but booking.com said they had one room available. In the lobby is a sign directing guests to call a phone number. No answer. There is another sign with a different number. No answer. There is a button on the wall to summon help. No help arrived. I found my way to the adjacent restaurant. Servers directed me to the bartender. No clue if a room was available. No idea if the rooms had AC. They have window AC units that hat work just fine. No idea if the room had a private or shared bath. Room 4 has a private bath. The only way to book and check-in while standing in the lobby is booking.com. I booked one night. It was then I discovered that the door to room #4 would not close. Further inspection revealed that the strike plate was not (mortised) flush into the door frame. Examining the door, it became apparent that the door could be forced closed, but only if I really put my shoulder in to it. The room and bath were clean and spacious. The stairway is a tad narrow, but that is hardly unexpected for vintage buildings. The restaurant staff is friendly, but uninformed about the lodging operation. The towels were thin and coarse, not plush. They reminded me of the earlier Days Inn stay that was a 0-star experience. I ordered nachos from the bar. Nothing special. Think gas station nachos. The bartender is friendly and makes a damn fine margarita. On-street parking only. Breakfast was not available, so off to the market. Would I return? Maybe.

We were supposed to have an upstairs room with private bath, but that changed somehow when we arrived. We stayed in the downstairs section, which has several other bedrooms and one shared bathroom and kitchen and living area. Luckily no other guests were staying at that time, so we had it all to ourselves, and it worked out great. Bedrooms and bathroom were extremely clean and neat. Beautiful lot with large patios upstairs and downstairs that are oh-so peaceful!! Spent lots of time talking with Bob, and he was very accommodating and easy-going. I loved having breakfast in their cozy and bright dining area near the kitchen overlooking the mountains and watching numerous hummingbirds come to feed on their upper patio (felt like we were Bob's personal guests). Bob was also so kind to let our dog, LeLa (who is well-behaved) stay in the dining room with us while we had breakfast. We did not see much of Ursula (his wife) as she had to work during the days that we were there, but our brief meeting with her was very pleasant! We highly recommend this place!!!
