We stayed at Boots and Saddles for the second time recently (April 29-May 3) and had another wonderful time. Sam and Irith are so warm and helpful, it really felt like we were coming back to visit friends. This time we stayed in 2 different rooms--Ghost Rider and Sacred Feather. Both were beautiful and had red rock views from their private balconies (with hot-tubs). Sam's breakfasts are fabulous, and they always gave us great dinner recommendations. Some of our favorites are Cucina Rustica, Elote, Heartline Cafe, and Savannah's. Sedona has become one of our favorite places to visit and we can't imagine staying anywhere but Boots and Saddles!

Boots and Saddles was a wonderful experience for us. We stayed in El Dorado, which was a beautiful room, although if the upper level rooms with a view had been available, we would have taken one of those. Sam and Irith are wonderful hosts. The breakfasts are outstanding and very filling. Sam gave us a great orientation, complete with maps. He had a completely mapped out route with stops to the Grand Canyon, which was so helpful. Our room had a flat screen TV; they have canteens for hiking; a computer in the main living room if you must check emails (which I did); delicious cookies; coffee, tea and sodas; newspapers; and other conveniences. In sum, this was our first trip to Sedona, and it was enhanced by staying at Boots and Saddles.

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending our tenth anniversary at Sam and Irith's (the owners) Boots & Saddles. I mention Sam and Irith first because Boots & Saddles simply wouldn't be Boots & Saddles without them. They are delightful people who treat each guest as family and they possess a wealth of knowledge about Sedona and Northern Arizona. Sam is a gourmet cook and spoiled us each day with a delicious breakfast before we headed out to see the sights.

We stayed in the Sante Fe room the first night and the Ghost Rider the next two nights. While both rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable, we definitely preferred the larger Ghost Rider. The entire facility is well decorated and professionally maintained.

Boots & Saddles is located in West Sedona a couple of blocks off the main street running through town. While the location is a little ways away from the uptown shopping area, we liked being a little bit away from the touristy area. The location was fine for us.

We will definitely look at staying with Sam and Irith on our next trip out west.

We stayed at the Boots and Saddles B&B in December 2007 for 3 nights. On the day we were leaving, we booked a trip back for April 2008 - that's how much we enjoyed our first stay!

We then contacted our good friends and invited them to join us in April. They had a fabulous stay and remarked at how the Inn Keepers, Sam and Irith's attention to detail in every aspect of pampered accommodations was 5 Star!! Each and every luxurious room (designed by Irith) is a work of art.

Boots and Saddles is highly recommended by all of us! We would not even think of staying anywhere else!

Kudos to Sam and Irith - their pride in their Inn, desire to provide only top shelf accommodations and their love of people is superb!
