Penrose B&B is the only B&B built on the side of Sedona's famous red rocks, The Penrose provides the best views from every room of some of the formations that make Sedona a top-rated tourist attraction. We stayed in the Kokopelli, as a guest of a friend, and boy we we lucky. It is the nicest, I think of all the rooms and it is at least 400$ plus per night, depending on when you go. The Kokopelli has a nice little sitting room along with the bedroom and includes a flat panel TV, a two-person Jacuzzi, which is just amazing and with separate shower. There is no closet so you are left with a European style clothes rack, which is just fine, unless you are staying more than a week. The balcony is the length of the entire room. There is beautiful Mexican furniture, tin mirrors, and pottery in the sitting room and in the bedroom. Out favorite spot was the balcony. The Penrose has American food. All dishes are great and made from scratch They even have candy for you in your room. The Penrose has 24/7 access to a free snack bar with pop corn, granola bars, nuts, and a variety of beverages. The staff which is wonderful can refer you to places for dinner or a fine lunch. The place is perfect. This will be a great once in a lifetime B&B for you. The staff is just so kind, the food is great, the place is spotless and there is so much to do nearby. You will love this place. read more

We stayed in the Javelina room. It had a very comfy king sized bed with plenty of pillows. The en-suite bathroom was very clean and offered shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for the extra large walk in shower with dual shower heads. The cute little balcony boasts a wonderful view of the famous red rocks, and we spent every evening with a glass of something in hand, watching the light change as the sun went down. The two breakfasts we had were well presented and delicious, slightly unusual gourmet type fare. One of the mornings we had an early tour booked and left before breakfast was served. Our hosts left a fresh baked scone each for us to-go. It was a nice gesture, but if you do this, be aware if you prefer a hearty breakfast, the scone won't cut it. All in all we were very satisfied with our stay here. We felt welcomed and comfortable. read more

The Penrose Bed & Breakfast - One view from the balcony. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

I am not sure if I can do this review justice. The Penrose is simply dreamy! I called in to book my reservation and had the best service trying to find me the right room for my romantic weekend. I reserved it a month in advance to make sure they were not booked for the days I wanted. A week before our stay I got an email asking to verify and if we had any special requests for food or for the room. Super great and accommodating. We ended up picking the Mariposa for the great views and it was dreamy! Very happy! Honestly though I don't think there is a room with a bad view. They make breakfast in the morning and it was just fantastic. This is a def must stay in Sedona. You are on the outskirts of town but still close enough if you want to go in to see the sites and very close to some fantastic restaurants (check out J Wine Bistro down the street!) read more

It is quiet, clean, with private patios of the gorgeous vista. And best of all, enjoy It gourmet breakfasts with a view to die for. At night help yourself to homemade treats. For your day about town, grab a drink to go. When you leave, an AZ t shirt is gifted to each guest. read more

We stayed at the Penrose Bed & Breakfast for one night. We checked in and out without any major issues (there was initially a slight hiccup on their end with the rooms, which they immediately fixed). Our stay was lovely! We stayed in the Coconino room, which has truly stunning views of the surrounding red rock. The b&b has a slight movie theme, and there's a wide variety of DVDs available to watch and DVD players in each room. The breakfast was simple but tasty and generous--a strawberry smoothie in a martini glass to start, followed by a breakfast burrito. And the owners are so sweet. The house is in a great location, and close to a number of hikes. We were limited to Red Rock State Park (~25 minutes away) due to ongoing forest fires, but that was obviously not the norm. Definitely check this place out for a base to explore Sedona! read more

If you have never stayed at a bed and breakfast then I highly recommend your first experience be here! The location is perfect, close to stores, restaurants and all the hiking trails. We stayed in the Yavapai room which has an amazing view of the Sedona mountains! The staff is super nice, and work with you on whatever you may need. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Definitely will be back in the future! read more

This place is probably 80% of the reason that I HAVE to go back to Sedona. My new husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we were so sad to leave! The staff was very friendly and thoughtful. They set out rose petals on our bed for our arrival--so sweet! Breakfast was a thousand times better than we thought it would be. Gourmet prep and ingredients every single morning, not to mention bottomless hot coffee! The kokopelli room was the perfect size and very clean. Views from our balcony were absolutely breathtaking. Location was great, too! A quiet neighborhood just outside of Sedona but still very close to lots of great restaurants and trails. I can't stop talking to people about our stay here and i can't wait to go back!!! read more

The guest guide book freaked me out a bit, the rules give instructions on how to avoid scorpions. I spent the night frightened of putting my feet on the floor and i'm a native to Arizona. Luckily there was no reason to freak, not a single bug seen aside from the normal, non threatening kinds. The bed was comfortable. Lots of natural light with great views from the patio. Probably not the best place for vampires. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was unique and packed with flavor. Loved the homemade candy and snacks! I still haven't figured out how to work the second head in the shower :/ read more

The Penrose Bed & Breakfast - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Beautiful background, lovely hosts, a great place to stay away from the main street but great distance to everything. The hosts were delightful and helpful with attractions around Sedona--prepared with printed lists of activities and binders full of things to do and see. This was a surprise weekend and we filled our weekend up just from talking to a host during breakfast. They provide some surprises for the guests as well. Don't miss out on this great spot to spend a romantic weekend in Sedona. read more

The Penrose Bed & Breakfast - View from the Javelina Room upstairs. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Absolutely wonderful vacation! Just left Sedona after 5 beautiful dayside the Penrose. Such a gorgeous location--outside of the noise and tourist crowds of Sedona , up agains the red rocks with a perfect view of Bell Rock. The property is lovely and my room was so cute, clean and cozy! Breakfasts were to die for--amazing chefs--from pecan French toast to a potato frittata with avocado toast and bacon--I never wanted to miss that meal! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Cannot say enough good things about this place and if I am ever back in Sedona I will not hesitate to stay at the Penrose again! read more

My new husband and I made this our first stop on our week long honeymoon adventure. We absolutely adored the Penrose, and hope to go back every year for our anniversary. I saw a review from 2009 that said the breakfast left something to be desired. ... well I don't know if things have changed that much since then, but I can assure you that my husband and I, who are big breakfast eating people, loved it and were so full from the amazing breakfasts served all three days we stayed. The staff was so kind and accommodating, and really just made you feel at home and comfortable. We stated in the Yavapai room- the only one located downstairs, and the only one with an access door outside. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It had a big 2 person spa tub in the bathroom and huge windows that made you feel like you were outside. But honestly, even if the breakfast was bad and the mattress was a straw bed.... The views from the rooms are worth every penny. I don't think it would matter how many days we stayed there, every morning we would wake up and marvel at the beautiful red rocks surrounding us. The ONLY complaint I MIGHT have is that the walls are a little thin. We could hear everything going on in the livingroom outside ours.... which made us feel like they could hear everything going on inside our room too.... aghm..... read more

Great quiet location convenient to Sedona. Very limited places to eat nearby. Breakfast was okay just average . It seemed very rushed. Staff we met at arrival not very welcoming. Room was clean and had a great view but tiny patio. But other areas in house and outside patios could use a good cleaning. Cobwebs on plants and patio plants in pots need attention and replacing. It's still better then staying at a hotel but next time we would sleep later ,since breakfast is early , and go out for brunch. Evening sweet snacks were defrosted store bought and not warm and homemade like others have said. They were set out about 5:00! We received a free t shirt only because another guest asked for one upon leaving. The staff wasn't going to offer one. On reading my review I think I would not stay here again. read more

We had a fantastic time celebrating our 8th Anniversary at the Penrose B & B. You cannot beat the views, hospitality, or the breakfasts!! The magic of the red rocks literally starts on this property, as it is directly at the base of a massive rock structure. We could not be any happier with our choice. We will definitely be back. Thanks to Maria for her kindness and great recommendations. If you are planning on staying in a bed and breakfast anywhere in the Sedona area, this should be your first choice. read more

My stay at The Penrose Bed and Breakfast was exceptional. Check in was easy and my room was absolutely perfect. I was not disappointed. The B&B common areas were well maintained and comfortable. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The Kokopelli room was beautiful and spacious. As you can see from my pictures I had an excellent view. The room was exactly how it was described on the B&B's web site. Each day, the gourmet breakfast was excellent. The breakfast patio offers a stunning close up view of the beautiful red rocks. Just imagine enjoying a great breakfast while looking at postcard perfect Sedona Red Rocks. It was so beautiful it felt surreal. The location is close to local dining and noted points of interests. For example, local restaurants are and the Bell Rock vortex and hiking trails are about 5 minutes away by car. TlaquepaqueArts & Craft Village and Uptown Sedona are 15 to 20 minutes away. The B&B is located in a residential area, so crazy tourist traffic does not exist. A bonus is that you have easy access to Hwy 179, which is a major thoroughfare to other main Sedona sites. read more

The Penrose Bed & Breakfast - Our view from our second floor balcony room. GORGEOUS breath taking VIEWS. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Nice place and very welcoming but a dings pushed it down to 3 stars. The good: nice place with above average amenities. Beds were comfy. Delicious breakfasts. Nice touches like a tray of desserts put out each evening and snack and drinks available all day long. It was great to great a few bottles of water before heading out daytripping. And if you like to hike, Whitney (owner) wrote the book... no seriously, he wrote a book about hiking in Sedona. His passion is your benefit if you want to chose the right hike for you. Location is nice being away from uptown. The not-so-Good: unfortunately, breakfast is only served from 8:00-9:00am. Being on vacation to us means not having an early morning schedule, and bring up, showered and dressed before 9:00 does not jive with that. We missed breakfast 2 out of the 4 days we were there. ... and if you do miss breakfast, the chef will ask why you didn't make it. Equally, if we didn't clean our plates, she asked "did you not like the food or are you not into breakfast". The answer was none of the above... we were simply full. It was a little off-putting. The other ding is that we stayed in Yavapai room which is downstairs. Nice room but thin walls off of the main living room and dining room. This means A) when the chef starts prepping breakfast at 6:00am, the clanging in the kitchen radiated through the room. We ended up getting earplugs just to not be woken up. B) Thin walls and sounds of other guests walking through the living room/entry infringes on the sense of privacy. Nice enough place to consider staying again but I would forego the expectation and pressure to make it to breakfast each day and definitely request a room upstairs. read more

I absolutely loved this little b&b! We stayed 1 night in the Kokopelli room which had incredible views from the windows and balcony facing the red rocks and a small town below. The gourmet breakfast prepared by their chef was incredible and the waiter Michael is hilarious. You can eat in the breakfast room or out on the patio. The hospitality was top notch from beginning to end, and they even send you off with road treats! If you get a chance I highly recommend staying a night here. read more

This place was great! Perfect location close to Bell Rock and about 5 miles from the main touristy area. The breakfast was soooo good as well as the fresh baked treats they put out around 8pm. They also gave us t-shirts when we left which was unexpected and really nice. I will definitely stay here again if I return to Sedona. I don't think I would've enjoyed my trip as much if I had stayed somewhere else. read more

We spent two nights at the Penrose Bed and Breakfast. Our room was nicely appointed with a comfortable Queen bed (the pillows could use a refresh), a loveseat, and a chair. The shower was spectacular! It was roomy with two adjustable shower heads. The breakfast was very good and included muesli, yogurt, frittata, avocado toast, and sausage. There were snacks and beverages available and a freshly baked bedtime treat! Frances, who prepared and served our breakfast on the patio, was delightful. We had a wonderful conversation as we enjoyed our breakfast. She also shared some great fishing information with friends who came to pick us up. Frances was truly "The Face of the Place" since we had no contact at all with the Innkeepers. Frances made a recommendation for lunch at the Cowboy Club and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. We enjoyed our stay at the Penrose, and we're so grateful for Frances and her willingness to interact with us!! read more

This was such a great place to stay. Incredible staff. Knowledgeable, helpful and excited to be there. To die for breakfasts on the patio surrounded by the red cliffs. Inn is perched on a hill surrounded by the red rock cliffs. Amazing view from our balcony. read more

We had a wonderful visit to Sedona -- our first -- and the Penrose was the perfect resting place. We stayed in a room on the first floor, and loved our private deck overlooking the red rocks. The inn is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, and the proprietors are thoughtful and kind. Breakfast every morning is outstanding, and the evening snacks are delicious (after 4 nights at the Penrose, it was hard to adjust to post-snack life!). We highly recommend the Penrose to anyone looking for a quiet, romantic, reasonably-priced getaway to Sedona. read more

Very quiet neighborhood and beautiful scenery all around. Room is just what you need and the breakfast is good, especially the lady who cooks on the weekend. Patio is really breathtaking. Based on price and the area, this may be one of the best places to stay for quiet get away. If you like hiking, biking and the outdoors -this is the place for you. The only thing that might be a plus that wasn't available is a mini fridge. We could have used one a couple of times. Also, no access to a pool if that is your thing (we didn't care so no big deal for us, we were there to hike and bike). If you bike, be careful not to venture off into areas that might be private property. We were trying to find a trail head and didn't realize we were on private property, guy drove out and gave us a warning. People take that seriously out here. Be watchful of signs. Sedona seems to have a weird hodgepodge of people, some friendly, some not so friendly. A lot of people don't say hi back to you when you walk passed them, we found that weird coming from Texas. But most people were very pleasant. All in all, this place is absolutely beautiful. The colors off of the mountains are breathtaking. read more

We haven't even left Sedona city limits yet and I am compelled to immediately write this review. This place is magical ! The beautiful home is directly under the enchanting red rocks. You are surrounded with beauty ! Driving up to the B and B took our breath away! The staff really go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. I was planing a surprise proposal for my partner and they helped me make the weekend truly memorable. They have so much material and knowledge on the surrounding areas and provide anything you could possibly need . The rooms are wonderful! We were in the Yavapai room on the ground floor (an earlier review mentioned a concern about noise with this room, but we did not experience that as they had a door buffer/pillow for sound. Additionally, we never actually heard people hanging out in the living room so we felt like we had even more privacy than most other rooms as the only ones on the ground floor. )Our room was surrounded with breath taking views and one of the most comfortable beds I've EVER slept in. We also had an amazing jacuzzi tub! All of the windows have shades that can be lowered from the top so you can see the tops of the red rock formations with complete privacy . Not to mention, it was immaculately clean. We would recommend this beautiful and exceptional B and B to anyone looking to travel to Sedona and look forward to returning. Thank you Penrose! read more

If you are looking for a B&B in Sedona with breath taking views, look no further than the Penrose! My husband and I enjoyed 1 night in their Coconino room on the second floor. The B&B rooms all have queen beds which are exceptionally comfortable. It is unfortunate that they don't offer King rooms. Regardless, you won't want to leave your room as the scenic views out the windows and on the balcony are unparalleled. The room was crisp white and furnished with Arizona sensibility. My husband checked every inch of the room for scorpions (Which he did not find) but did note how clean it was! However, the owners and staff are what make the stay worth 5 stars! They are personable and friendly without being pushy... A rare experience at most B&B's! The breakfast provided was delicious with a southwestern flare. And before we departed they gave us a choice of souvenir tshirts and a picture with the backdrop of sensational views including Bell rock! read more

The penrose bed and breakfast was truly a dream. Everything about it was amazing. The staff was kind and helpful (giving us tips on local hikes). The whole place was just gorgeous and nestled on the side of the mountain. Both of the breakfast we had were so delicious. And the room was out of this world. The views alone paid for itself. So worth every dime. If/when I go back to sedona one day I will definitely stay here again. read more

Our first time staying at a B&B and it was great! We stayed for one night in the Mariposa room. I liked that they had beverages in the fridge available for guests all day, but unfortunately many of the beverage were past their expiration date so we stuck with water. The little candies on our pillows when we arrived were delicious, as was the evening dessert and breakfast. Overall it was a clean and nice place to stay, and you really cannot beat the view. read more

I was very disappointed with my stay. The bed was so soft in the middle I rolled into it.. there was also someone else's hair in it and also someone else's hair in the bathtub.

The Penrose was a delight. We stayed in the Kokopelli room upstairs which had an amazing view. They had so many nice little touches at The Penrose. The breakfasts were wonderful each morning and our room was well serviced everyday. They kept an area with drinks and snacks that we could access at anytime, free of charge. On our departure day we were given lemon bars for on the road and we also each got to pick out a free Sedona/Penrose T-Shirt. I would highly recommend the lovely little Bed and Breakfast.

The Penrose Bed & Breakfast has been open 7 years and has about 6 unique rooms, each with clean private upscale baths, accurately described and photographed on their website. Each room has a view of red rock mountains, buttes, and mesas. A delicious hot breakfast with fresh fruit compote is served in a sunny room on the first floor each morning. One of the owners can provide detailed knowledge about hikes in the area, and they have local menus, books about flora and fauna, DVD/CD libraries, and beautiful patios for relaxing and enjoying the views. Rooms have small balconies. Laundry service is available. The owners care enough about the happiness of their guests not to accept outside breakfast patrons. read more

This B&B is in an awesome location south of Sedona proper. It is such a great place because not only are the views incomparable but the breakfasts are inventive and delicious. Cannot say more about our host Maria except that she is excellent in every way. Sedona proper also known as Uptown is crowded and very touristy. So very glad we chose Penrose instead of Sedona. Would gladly recommend this B&B to anyone and everyone! read more

My wife and I visited the Sedona area in late March. We chose the Penrose for our stay. The owners were so helpful and welcoming. The view from out room was spectacular. The food provided for breakfast was on the level of a gormet meal and the service was extremely kind and prompt. The owner helped us plan our hikes - he really knee the area well. Oak Creek is much quieter than Sedona which I liked. The place is immaculate and located at the edge of town so you feel secluded. read more

I stayed at the Penrose in March 2016. I loved it!! The location is perfect because it is surrounded by the Red Rocks and it's almost tucked into them. It's away from the main flow of traffic and downtown area - more tucked away, which is what I wanted for my trip. A nice quiet area and B&B. The room was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. My balcony view - AMAZING!!!! The entire B&B was very clean and beautiful and cozy, with amazing views throughout. Their online photos are very accurate! The staff was informative, kind, and helpful. The chief, she corrected me and said that she was a cook, and I told her that her meals were so amazing and the presentations superb that I considered her a chief. As good as many in Boston. Breakfast was included in the cost of the room and it was a 2 course meal, plus great coffee and a great view of the Red Rocks on the outdoor patio. I have never experienced such a enjoyable and amazing breakfast. Every day it was different and every day my mouth and nose had experienced a cacophony of tastes and smells. Needless to say, I also took pictures of the breakfasts. ;-) I highly recommend The Penrose. i will stay there during my next visit. Dottie read more
