The Cozy Cactus has a lot going for it, The location is fantastic as the back patio borders on to the national forest providing great views and instant access to walking paths and hiking trails.

We stayed in the small room, which was ok but a little tired. I think that the larger rooms would be the way to go.

Mark and Carrie, the owners, are great hosts and the delicious three course breakfasts were a great way to start the day.

My family spent 2 nights at the Cozy Cactus in March 2008. We stayed in the smallest room in the place, since that was the only one available [the room names are about to change under the new owners, so 'smallest' is the most convenient name]. Other posters have commented that this room is a big step down compared to the others. I'm inclined to agree, but it's still very well appointed, and more importantly I realized that the rooms are not the reason to stay here. The reasons to choose the Cozy Cactus are (i) the charming owners, who are helpful in every way possible; (ii) the delicious breakfasts; and most of all (iii) the rear garden that opens directly onto national forest land with trails that can have you scrambling up red rocks within minutes. My 6-year old daughter was in love with the place. One evening we decided not to go out to eat, but instead enjoyed take out food from the Chinese place across the street while sitting on the rear patio and watching the stars appear above Bell Rock. Priceless.

We stayed in the Hideway Cowboy suite with our two children, ages 8 and 10. The Cozy Cactus is the perfect setting to enjoy all that Sedona has to offer. The views are unmatched, the access to the national forest and all the hiking trails was superb. We hiked from the B&B to Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. As if that were not enough, the breakfast was fresh, original and delicious. The new owners are doing a great job. We hope to return in the future and have already recommended it to friends and family.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Cozy Cactus for five days. Great location, unbelievable setting. New owners are terrific. We were there during the transition and they are going to be great!!! Very hospitable and accommodating people!! We look forward to staying there again.
