Handcrafted adobe lodge
Guests gather around the courtyard campfire and living room hearth, framed by hand-formed adobe arches and leafy grapevine trellises.
“Inside the Arts and Crafts–style hacienda, arches and reclaimed beams of juniper or burl wood soar overhead, while period doorknobs…transport guests back in time.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Hand-formed adobe walls, salvaged railroad timbers, and handmade Arts and Crafts woodwork throughout.
Notable
Hands-on innkeeper hospitality with daily afternoon snacks, honor-system wine, and in-room whirlpool tubs.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
It’s only more impressive for this fact, an intimate twelve-room hotel that shows a fastidious attention to detail, a meticulous Arts and Crafts replica...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The inn sits immediately beside the cobbled courtyards of Tlaquepaque Arts Village, minutes from creek trails and red-rock canyon paths.
The rooms
Suites feature handmade doors, corner river-rock fireplaces, and custom woodwork, with deep whirlpool tubs or steam showers in most bathrooms.
The spa
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Mornings bring cooked breakfasts to the timber-beamed dining room or stone veranda, followed by afternoon wine and snacks.
How it began
Innkeepers Steve and Connie Segner hand-built the hacienda using eighteen-inch adobe blocks and massive timbers salvaged from a railroad bridge.
