My guy and I were traveling by car on a road trip, starting in Colorado and ending up in Southern California. Valley of the Gods was a perfect mid-way stop and the accommodations were my favorite of the trip! I believe we'd just left Mesa Verde NP and were heading towards the Grand Canyon, and I'm really glad we got to stay here.
We stayed for 2 nights in the cabin that was disconnected from the house and it was fantastic. The upstairs consisted of the bathroom, a living area, and the front porch. The bedroom was downstairs, which was accessible via a fun (narrow) spiral staircase, or via the downstairs door. The house stayed cool despite our visiting in the middle of the summer, likely because the downstairs room's walls were made of stone. If you like rustic and cozy cabins, you'll love this place.
Nearby: The town of Mexican Hat (home of the Mexican hat rock), Goosenecks SP, and Natural Bridges. You're probably visiting the middle of nowhere because you like nature and want to get away. We ventured into town to get dinner, and we hiked around the nearby parks the two days we were there. We also brought mountain bikes, but don't expect to go biking in the middle of the summer, the heat is brutal even in the early A.M.
Caution: Also watch out for the monsoons, as the water can wash out part of a road that leads to/from the B&B. There's another main road you can use to get there, which we took because our low-profile car was loaded down AND the 'shortcut' was flooded. They told us it was an unusually rainy week which made for some amazing nights sitting on the porch watching the lightning in the distance.
Overall, I can't say enough good things about our stay. The food was delicious (they had vegetarian and omnivore options), Claire and Gary and the other guests were very nice and you truly can't beat the views. I would definitely go back again.

“Away from it All”

Thanks to the wonderful reviews at Trip Advisor we changed our travel dates to make sure we could spend 2 nights here. It was a very good decision. After visiting Las Vegas just a few days before, it was so nice to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of this hidden gem. We came primarily to visit Monument Valley, but were also impressed with the Valley of the Gods and the scenic drive to Bluff, where we went both nights for dinner. The breakfasts were hearty, and the hosts had a great sense of humor. It was Canadian Thanksgiving and for the occasion Claire donned her Turkey hat!

What a unique B&B in a breathtaking location. We loved it! Claire and Gary are marvelous hosts and their special corner of the world is truly special. If you arrive as we did via the Moki Dugway you will be in for a thrill. Nothing beats seeing the B&B in the valley below as you descend this road. Be brave and enjoy this experience. (You don't have to arrive this way!) At the B&B you might be able to eat on the veranda but be sure to bring your own "supper" since you are in a remote area. We brought quiche which Claire graciously offered to warm in her vintage gas oven. Then, there were the stars at night which seemed near enough to touch! Breakfast was delicious and we were ready to drive through the Valley of the Gods...a must. Don't miss this special place!!

We stayed at the Valley of the Gods for one night while driving through area. This place is totally unique in that the owners are able to operate a wonderful B&B with 4 rooms, and yet be in the middle of nowhere, and be off the grid as far as the utilities go. Claire and Gary are excellent hosts. They are very willing to answer every question about how they use their solar and wind power to run the place. (It inspires you to start thinking about setting up solar or wind for your own home!) The rooms are quite comfortable and on a par with luxury rated properties we have stayed at. You will meet travellers from all over the world when staying here. If you are ever in this area, this is definitely the place to stay!
