Mescal Canyon Retreat

3 sites · Lodging20 acres · Clarkdale, AZ

Miles Away from the Ordinary Mescal Canyon Retreat is an integral part of our 20.5 acre property nestled in a small valley in the High Desert of Central Arizona. We are in the heart of Verde Valley Wine Country, only 18 miles outside of Sedona. The entire property is “off the grid” which means we produce all our electricity from solar energy. All our buildings have been built with natural, green and sustainable materials. We have a large organic garden, a small flock of chicken and a 100-vine vineyard. The property has a collection of buildings that have been hand built by myself and Andrea over the 38 years that we have called this land our home. There is our Main House, the Casita where our caretakers reside, 2 B&B Rooms with the adjacent Canyon Studio, a Hot Tub and Hot Tub Terrace, a Massage Studio, Workshop and Dance Space (Cedar Studio) and my Architecture Office. The property is bordered on 3 sides by National Forest and the remaining side is private land. We are located at the end of the road at the mouth of Mescal Canyon. The accommodations are comprised of 2 private rooms with private bathrooms in a hand built passive solar stone building. The Gold Room has a private bath, king size bed and a private patio. The Sage Room has a private bath, queen size bed and a patio adjacent to the room entry. Both rooms have private entrances and their own separately controlled A/C and heating units. They are separated from the main house by a courtyard. Adjacent to the bedrooms is the Canyon Studio. This space has a full kitchen and eating area, giving you the opportunity to prepare your own meals. As well as providing a common area for relaxing and gathering with one another during your stay. It is complete with a fireplace for the colder times of year. The Canyon Studio is also a hand built, passive solar stone building with an outdoor flagstone terrace and a beautiful view up into Mescal Canyon and Mingus Mountain. Mescal Canyon Retreat is the perfect home away from home for an individual, a couple, or two couples, families and small groups traveling together as our space can host up to 6 people. Up to 2 in each private room and a 5th or 6th person can sleep comfortably on the pull-out couches in the Canyon Studio. The retreat is also a beautiful and private location for a romantic escape, an individual or couple looking to find peace and quiet in nature or for someone needing a getaway online work environment.
