Cathedral Rock Lodge and Retreat Center is a tiny lodging on the Cathedral Rock side of Sedona, run as a vacation rental and small retreat rather than a hotel. You can book an individual unit or take the whole lodge, which sleeps a small group, and the grounds include a bamboo garden and lawns with red-rock views. The setting is the point: the Cathedral Rock trailhead, one of Sedona's best-known vortex hikes, is about a five-minute drive, which makes it a quiet base for a yoga, meditation, or small group retreat. Book it when you want privacy and a whole-property buyout near the trails. The honest trade-off is that this is a self-catering retreat property, not a resort: there is no restaurant, spa, or daily hotel service, so you cook for yourselves and bring your own structure to the stay.
An individual unit for a couple, or the whole-property buyout if you are bringing a small group or running a retreat.
The Cathedral Rock trailhead is about five minutes away by car, and the climb is best timed for sunset. If you are coming as a group, book the whole-property buyout well ahead, since there are only a handful of units.
Cathedral Rock Lodge & Retreat Center sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Sedona for a Wellness Retreat list.

If the dates are locked in, secure the room around the three-month mark. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Top-category rooms with private pools or terraces, the reason this hotel ranks here, are routinely the first gone.
