If you are looking for the perfect place to truly unplug, unwind, and reconnect, Briar Patch Inn is pure magic. We stayed in the Kingfisher room creekside, and it was honestly one of the most romantic and peaceful places we have ever experienced. The beds and pillows were unbelievably comfortable -- truly the best sleep we've had in years. At night, we left the charming Dutch doors open so we could fall asleep to the sound of the rushing creek. We built a fire in the fireplace, listened to the water, and completely escaped from the world. It felt like therapy for the soul. Just a few miles up the road from the hotter temperatures, the cool creekside setting made it feel like a hidden retreat tucked into nature. We even enjoyed breakfast by the creek, which made the experience even more special. The homemade breakfasts were incredible, fresh, and thoughtful every morning. And Polly was an absolute gem -- warm, attentive, welcoming, and truly on point with every detail. She made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. This place is special. Romantic, relaxing, cozy, and unforgettable. We are already dreaming about coming back. read more

I had a 4 night stay at the Briar Patch Inn...and for me it was a delightful place. Now here is something important to most of you. Many of the cottages do not have internet service....I LIKE THAT....but for my friend who needed to do work at night we had to switch cabins. My cottage was the Sycamore and it was great: Spacious, with plenty of amenities. Lighting is dark but what the heck. This aint the ritz, four Seasons or whatever fancy pants place...but it is very charming. Ownership is really great...yes that have a pretty staunch point of view and that is the way it is...price for Shangri-La. Nice and simple breakfast. Great coffee and cookies at night. The lobby is a great place to chill and catch up on your web stuff if need be. Lush paradise in the dessert. read more

The breakfast was heathy , light and delicious. The staff was friendly and beyond helpful. We are looking forward to visiting. This Inn again a great place to reflect on the awesomeness of nature read more

Briar Patch Inn where to begin? this place out did our expectations. I had read reviews prior to our trip and read a bad review of our specific cabin saying it had smelled like a skunk, so I was prepared just in case. I wanted this specific cabin due to location and the outdoor fireplace. yes, when you open the front door it has a skunk smell that was noticeable for the first few minutes then it was gone. the cabin was perfect. the beds were super comfy. the kitchen was very useful. the space was more than enough for 4 of us. the view was stunning. the grounds were amazing. the creek (and its sound ) was the best. breakfast daily was plenty. the staff were wonderful and so friendly.location was great. rosie and posey were fun to visit with. I loved that there was no tv or WiFi !! And. ow to my ONLY complaint... I wish it wasn't 750 miles from home. I will go again, I just don't know when. thank you Briar Patch for a most memorable visit. read more

Stayed in the Kingfisher cabin. It was wonderful to wake up hearing the babbling Oak creek and come home after a long hike to a cozy fire. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was delicious, with homemade breads and treats. If you have time enjoy a creek side massage and leave your worries behind read more

This Inn is absolutely magical! Set on Oak Creek, the natural beauty of the property, the serenity of listening to the creek and the cozy cabins with roaring firings make it a very unique and special place. We have visited 3 times and plan on returning annually. The owner and staff do everything possible to make guests comfortable and feel welcome. The breakfast in the guest lodge is lovely and getting massages in the heated gazebo by the creek is truly a little slice of heaven! We cannot wait for our next visit!!! read more

Our extended family did a long weekend getaway here in late July. We spent 5 days and 4 nights on this lovely property. Taking 89A through the bustling (read: touristy) downtown of Sedona I was so impressed turning off into this little haven. Set on several acres each cabin feels totally isolated and serene. Surrounded by lush greenery, climbing ivy, oaks and pine trees this is the place to get away. There is no wifi or TVs in the cabins (save the large Ponderosa cabin) so you can really unplug. No screens and kids?! Not a problem, there is a little walk way to the Creek where you can wade in and enjoy the outdoors! This is a bed AND breakfast so take advantage of the delicious breakfasts! Served buffet style every day from 8:15-10a in the office. You can take your good eats to a seat overlooking Oak Creek. The highlight of breakfast is the daily changing quiche. My favorite of which was the chile relleno. This is the a great place for a large family gathering. We had 12 total in 2 cabins and had an amazing time, couldn't recommend it more. read more

We had a WONDERFUL time at The Briar Patch Inn! It was just a lovely place with amazing people, service and serenity. We stayed in the Oriole. It was a little bigger than we needed, but that's okay. We enjoyed the property very much and spent 3 nights here. The bed was very comfortable and nice. The kitchen was more than ample with everything you need, even salt and pepper! We loved making a fire at night with the wood provided. One night it got a little crazy with the smoke detectors going off, but we opened the windows and doors and it calmed down. We enjoyed watching the sheep Rosie and Posie in their pen across from our cabin. We hiked all around the property and spent a good deal of time down by Oak Creek just relaxing and meditating. I love that their is no WiFi, TV or other distractions here. We did have cell service on T-Mobile, which was nice when a family member had a need. Not everyone may have cell service. Breakfast delivered to the cabin daily was amazing! We enjoyed it very much. The last day we both found the quiche very salty, like they may have put the salt in 2-3 times. But overall, it was excellent breakfast each day. The only minor thing that bothered us was 3 lights out near our cabin (as Becky stated too). One night coming back from dinner my wife nearly took a spill because she couldn't see. The light on our path was out, as was the one for the folks next door. We reported that to the owner when we checked out and she said it would be taken care of that very day. We enjoyed our stay SO much. We plan on visiting Sedona and staying at The Briar Patch Inn again this fall. read more

My wife and I stayed at Briar Patch the week before we were married up the street at the creek. We feel as though we couldn't have picked a better inn. The grounds are beautiful and serene. The amenities of each cabin were fantastic. We enjoyed sitting in the living room at night, listening to the fire crackle. We took sunrise walks by the creek in the fresh air and watched the deer run through the trees. Every morning they served an amazing breakfast that varied every day. The staff was absolutely fantastic. Our families booked at least 7 cabins leading up to the wedding. Everyone we spoke with was extremely accommodating, friendly, and helpful. We were able to use their beautiful setting as the backdrop of our pre-wedding photos, including our first look. We were initially nervous about not having wifi and limited cell reception, but being able to completely unplug, reset, and be with each other was a godsend. We just had such a wonderful time. I would recommend Briar Patch to anyone looking to have a peaceful place to relax, just outside of Sedona in a beautiful location. We will most definitely be back. read more

We hosted our wedding party at the Briar Patch - an amazing time was had by all at this tranquil spot. After the wedding party departed, we stayed another 3 nights. We enjoy the breakfast, the friendly and helpful staff, the setting, the creek, the rooms, the tranquility. It's an amazing place. We've already booked our first anniversary trip there. I can't say enough about this place. The cabins are rustic, functional, and contain the amenities you need to make your stay perfect. Robert and Bridgett read more

This place is heavenly! The staff is attentive and eager to make your stay perfect. The daily breakfast was delicious! And the location is 10/10!! Cannot recommend enough. Will definitely be back!! read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here this past weekend to celebrate his birthday. We were in the Blue Jay cabin, which is a bit more secluded than the others. The cabin is closest to state route 89A, but the traffic noise was not an issue for us at all. The property is gorgeous and the staff that we spoke to were all extremely nice. This is the perfect getaway to relax and connect. They provide homemade breakfast in the morning and have several tables set up where you can eat while overlooking the creek. We booked a couples massage in their open-air gazebo that is set up right next to the creek, which only enhances the experience. My masseuse was Alba, and I swear it was the best massage of my life. She was kind and warm and is so good at what she does. I have nothing but positive things to say about our time here. Unfortunately, we had to cut the trip a bit short to head back to Phoenix, but I would love to come back one day. read more

We have been coming here for quite some time. We have stayed in the Casa, Ivy, Robin, Deckhouse, and the Acorn. All of the cabins are wonderful and come with everything you need. Last time we saw deer right outside our front door! The staff is warm, welcoming, and very helpful. The breakfast is so good and if you come when it's warm there is live music by the creek so you can eat by the water and be soothed by the music. We also book a couples massage and the therapists are some of the best. We can't say enough about how much we love the Briar Patch Inn! Pam and Mario Howell read more

Took my sister here for her 40th birthday and we absolutely loved it!!! It was a refreshing and secluded haven away from all the touristy traffic, yet just a short drive away when we wanted to do all that as well. I love that there is no TV or internet access in your cabin. The whole property is absolutely beautiful, full of lush and greenery! The cabins had everything we needed, down a fridge, microwave, teapot, silverware, plates and a coffee pot. We loved seeing the sheep, Rosie and Posie and spent a lot of time relaxing in the hammocks and rocking in the bench swing. The food was absolutely delicious and plentious! They allow you to order however much you need! Such a variety to choose from, cereal, oatmeal toast, muffins, quiche, our favorite was the green chili corn cakes- those were phenomenaly delicious! I really want that recipe! And of course eating at the creek side, hearing the water was such a wonderful touch to breakfast! There are many great views of the creek around and the swimming hole is just a 5 minute walk out into a nice nature trail. The kids had so much fun splashing around down there. A little bit of constructive feedback: 1. I think it would be a really great touch if the inn left a little treat for someone if they are celebrating a birthday or anniversary. 2. It would be some added fun if there were some tether balls and horse shoes to play. 3. There's a free wine gift if you check in on yelp, but what about something for the non-alcoholic drinkers? Maybe sparkling cider or chocolate?! ;) 4. A few games in the cabin would be nice. 5. A garden where you can pick fresh fruits and vegetables. We will definitely be back and most likely for a 3 day stay next time and bringing more family. We look forward to seeing how Briar Patch makes themselves even better!!! read more

Charming and very beautiful establishment. Excellent breakfast with beautiful music, as well as very comfortable and adorable cabins.

The Magic Continues We just returned from our third stay in a year at Briar Patch Inn, and incredibly enough, it was even more perfect than the first two totally perfect visits! It is difficult to capture the true essence of this magnificent property, and from the moment you turn into the driveway, you know your have found something entirely unique and beyond wonderful. The setting is so serene, where gorgeous mature trees abound, rustic and authentic cabins beckon, and a peaceful stream runs along the entire property. The ambiance is also enhanced by the presence of the two friendly resident sheep, Rosie and Posie. We passed our days hiking in the magnificent red hills nearby, walking the property, enjoying the stream and inhaling the monumental beauty and peacefulness. We chose to barbecue our dinner each night so as not to have to leave the Inn, and afterward relished a roaring wood fire in our homey, beyond comfortable cabin by the stream. The totally delectable breakfast each morning is something to definitely look forward to. In the spring we ate outside by the stream, and in the fall we ate in the dining room with not one but TWO roaring fires. The entire staff is absolutely charming and beyond helpful, and the guests we've met appear to appreciate the nature, the authentic setting, and the genuine tranquility that Briar Patch Inn exudes as much as we do. We know how fortunate we are to have discovered this slice of heaven, and are already looking forward to our next stay at a place where the magic abounds! read more

What an absolutely perfect way to celebrate my birthday with my hubby. Deckhouse cabin was amazing. Breakfast was delicious.

The Briar Patch truly is a loving sanctuary where all burdens may be laid down and restoration picked up in its stead. Thank you to everyone who made our time there magical. read more

Absolutely loved our stay. It was a complete disconnect from busy life and a connection with nature. Located next to Oak Creek we felt like we slipped into a peaceful oasis. The individual cabins are all unique and charming. The staff is friendly and attentive. We were surprised with special touches for our anniversary. The breakfast was incredibly delicious. I eagerly await our next getaway to this perfect gem. read more

Such a relaxing stay. Property is right along Oak Creek which was raging due to all the snow melt, but still a lovely stay. Ambiance of the property is whimsical and relaxing, and we loved waking up to a delicious breakfast served from 8 to 10 am every morning is a cozy cabin warmed by chimneys. We'd return, for sure. read more

I'd like to add two more stars but I can't. My wife and I were looking for a cozy place to have a quiet weekend. We found it at the Briar Patch Inn. From the very beginning we had a great time. We got into Sedona around 6 o'clock at night and went directly to the end. We met Robin who was kind and very relaxed She gave us our key to our room and a cookie. The room was perfect with firewood in the fireplace and a beautiful little note individualized written to us. Watch out the fireplace does get very warm but it was a great evening. Next morning we start with a home cooked breakfast at the Inn's office. We originally wanted to go hiking but decide to stay on the grounds and we found a beautiful seat right next to the creek where we watched the water rushed by. We took a little nap. In the middle of the day we visited the sheep and walked around. That evening we had reservations for a dinner and music at soundbites. Make sure you make reservations for dinner every night you are there. Overall this was a great experience we are definitely definitely definitely definitely coming back. I am afraid to make this recommendation because I want to keep it all to myself. read more

We love this property! We were very fortunate to have been lucky enough to get the Creekside Cabin for the night. The experience was magical with the roaring creek out your window and a beautiful fireplace stocked with wood. We made a nice dinner and had drinks outside by the fire and it was so beautiful. Vanessa who runs the front office did her best to make our stay comfortable and she was very accommodating. She is there to help and made every effort to make sure we were happy. We will be back. read more

Amazing gem of a location. Well kept grounds, very friendly, supportive staff that go above and beyond. Every detail of the place is well thought out for anyone looking for a unique experience that is confusing for connecting with self, friends, loved ones, and nature.

This place is the definition of charming. The grounds are covered in trees, flowers, and ivy. There are benches, swings and hammocks to lounge around and little paths to take. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. There are some sheep and a miniature horse, too. The lounge is stocked with books, for both adults and children and games. We stayed in the Creekside cabin which is two bedrooms, 1 Queen and 1 with 2 twins. It has a private patio and kitchenette which is well stocked. Plenty of closets and dressers for clothing. I stayed here with my husband and two kids, 3 & 5 yr old and we all loved it. I could just sit on the patio and watch/listen to the flowing creek below. There is a 'swimming hole' just up the creek, but it is a bit hard to access unless you just do a cannonball in from the path which is quite rocky. The water is quite chilly (we stayed in early July). read more

My fiancée and I recently spent Valentine's Day Weekend at this incredibly enchanting bed and breakfast. We were looking for relaxing, quiet, romantic and comfortably rustic,and Briar Patch offers all of these. The hospitality and amenities are world-class, and proximity to Oak Creek takes it to storybook levels. The breakfast and the afternoon refreshments are all homemade and extraordinary. If you're looking to experience Sedona but want some healthy privacy, quiet and comfort, while being closer to nature, then you should be booking a weekend now! read more

The first night was great then the second night our bed was crawling with cockroaches and black ants. I couldn't sleep a wink obviously because of this so looked up online what I could do to rid the bed and myself of these creatures. It said lemons, thank goodness we had one, only one! I cut it up and rubbed it on my skin and my husbands pillow, he was in a sound sleep! Then placed the lemon peels through out the sheets. Still a very restless night! In the morning my husband told the front desk, who was cordial and credited the one night only. Still very appreciative for that but not sure we'll be back! read more

We came here for our anniversary. We stayed in the Deckhouse, which was right on the stream. You could hear the water rushing while laying in the bed. The cabin was small and cozy. No TV or WiFi which was wonderful. It had a little kitchenette and a HUGE tub! The staff were amazingly professional, lovely people. The breakfasts were healthy, delicious, and perfect on a cold morning. If you want a lovely, quiet place away in a beautiful city, I can't give this place enough praise! Go! read more

They do a great job maintaining the peace and serenity. Great place to do your own system reset! We will be back for sure! We stayed in Robin cabin and loved every minute of our trip! read more

My husband and I decided to spend our anniversary in Sedona. We have often driven past Briar Patch Inn and were curious about it. On a recommendation from a co-worker we decided to book our stay here. We weren't disappointed in the least! Loves: The first thing that struck us what the lush greenery that runs throughout the grounds. Tall trees and vines encircle nearly ever cottage. Upon checking in at the front desk we were greeted by a very friendly woman who even gave us homemade cookies! On the way to our cottage we marveled at how well maintained the grounds are. There is a lovely and spacious seating area with tables that runs along the hill on the side of the creek. You can hear and see the water rushing below. We stayed in Ivy House, which, although it is right next to the lodge and in the middle of the property, it was very private and cozy. It was completely surrounded by Ivy and vines. I felt like I was in the Shire! Once inside our cottage we discovered that they had left two small bottles of wine as a gift for our anniversary (one white and one red). They also left a small box with worry dolls on the dresser and a note about what worry dolls are. Such a cute detail! The cabin was clean and homey. They had the fire place made up and ready to light. The bed was comfortable and we both slept soundly. Briar Patch also provides a small breakfast every day for each of their guests. Our quiche was delicious! Briar Patch has just a few areas of opportunity. In no way should any of these items deter anyone from staying there. For one, they could use larger bath towels in the bathrooms- these were quite small and my husband and I are not large people. Also, while I saw that there were lights on the walkways, they weren't working at night. This made the walk from the car back to our cottage very dark. Perhaps they just need new bulbs? Also, and this is a very small problem, but several of the shutter slats on our cabin windows were broken. This would be a very easy fix for a handyman. All in all, we had a great stay at Briar Patch and will definitely be back! We enjoyed coffee on our private patio and wine by the creek nearly every day. Thank you for a lovely stay! read more

We loved our stay at Briar Patch Inn. The location is superb, nestled in Oak Creek Canyon--close enough to Sedona to enjoy the sights and shops and yet far enough away to get lost in nature. The cabins are rustic but cozy and comfortable. There is no Wi-Fi or cell phone coverage, so guests can enjoy time in their quiet surroundings. Breakfasts are wonderful and the coffee is great! Oak Creek runs the length of the property and a labyrinth is located near the creek. Wonderful stay! read more

From the gracious, welcoming host to the beautiful grounds and cabin our stay was relaxing and serene! All the comforts needed from a stocked fireplace to clean linens as well as the beauty of the river. Our cabin was perfect for the two of us and exactly what we chose on line. Clean and cozy! Close to shopping and restaurants... sooo much shopping and sooo many restaurants to choose from! Staying put was just as satisfying. Walking the river path and grounds was like our own haven nestled in the woods! We can't say enough about the hospitality and accommodations we experienced. We will be back for sure! read more

We stayed at Briar Patch Inn this weekend for the first time, and are so glad that we did! Our cabin, the Eagle, was beautiful, clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the fireplace was stacked and ready to light the minute we walked into the room. They provided a delicious breakfast both mornings with quiche, muffins and multigrain breads, fresh fruit, yogurt, and more. You can either go to the lodge and eat in their very nice dining rooms (which we did) or you can request it be delivered to your cabin. The grounds are lovely, and we enjoyed meeting Rosy and Posy, the sheep who live there. We also had two squirrels visit us at our back deck this morning to say goodbye. :-) The people who work here are also wonderful, helpful and friendly. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend! read more

This is the second time I've facilitated a Heart Sparks women's retreat at Briar Patch, staying in the Ponderosa cabin, and each time has been magical for me and the participants. The beds are comfy, and there is enough open space for everyone to hang out comfortably. And the property offers so many opportunities to reflect, pause, embrace our physical bodies. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, and there are delicious options at the breakfast bar for everyone. We will be back! read more

This place is enchanting and full of peaceful relaxation. Priced extremely well. The fireplace on our patio was a dream and they would clean it and prep it every night and leave fire-starters so it was quick and easy to light. It's close to everything, a short 5 to 7 minute drive to the town epicenter and is better placed then the large expensive resorts. It's walking distance to the Indian Market which makes the best coffee and food, very local and not touristy. I can't say enough.. other than if they sold these cabins, I'd buy one and move here and never leave. read more
