Orchard Canyon is located eight miles north of Sedona on Highway 89A, in the heart of Oak Creek Canyon.

The drive itself is part of the experience - a winding scenic route that follows Oak Creek through towering red rock walls, shaded forests, and some of Arizona's most breathtaking landscapes before arriving at our hidden entrance.

• 8 miles north of Sedona
• 30 miles south of Flagstaff
• Located along one of America's most scenic drives

While Sedona is known for its red rock desert landscapes, Oak Creek Canyon offers something entirely different.

Here you'll discover:

• Flowing creek water for swimming, wading, and fishing
• Towering canyon walls and lush forests
• Cooler temperatures throughout much of the year
• Abundant wildlife and birdlife
• A quieter, more intimate connection with nature

Many guests describe Oak Creek Canyon as feeling like an entirely different world from Sedona, despite being only minutes away.

Orchard Canyon was never designed to be a traditional resort.

Instead, it was created as a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the land.

Here you'll find:

• Creek water instead of swimming pools
• Orchard paths instead of paved walkways
• Chef-prepared meals instead of crowded restaurants
• Conversation instead of screens
• Nature instead of nightlife
• Seventeen cabins instead of hundreds of rooms

Many guests tell us - It feels like coming home.

Orchard Canyon features 17 historic private cabins thoughtfully spaced across ten acres of orchard, gardens, meadow, and creekside landscape.

Several cabins date back to the 1930s, offering guests the opportunity to stay in a meaningful piece of Oak Creek Canyon history while enjoying modern comforts and privacy.

Yes.

Your stay includes:

• Chef-prepared dinner each evening
• Breakfast each morning
• Afternoon refresh and seasonal chef surprises on Friday and Satuday
• Service charge (no tipping required)
• Access to the orchard, gardens, creek, lodge, and grounds

Hospitality here is intentionally generous and uncomplicated.

Dining at Orchard Canyon feels more like gathering in a beautifully prepared home than visiting a traditional restaurant.

Menus are inspired by:

•  Our orchard and seasonal gardens
• Local farms and regional producers
• The rhythms of each season

Guests select dinner choices in advance, allowing our culinary team to source and prepare ingredients at their peak while accommodating dietary preferences and creating a relaxed dining experience.

Meals are thoughtfully prepared, seasonal, and deeply connected to the land.

Select afternoons, guests are invited to enjoy a chef-prepared refresh featuring seasonal tastings, house-made treats, infused waters, teas, and fresh coffee.

The experience changes throughout the year and often reflects what is growing in the orchard or garden.

Our full bar is also available during this time, offering cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer, and specialty beverages available for purchase.

Many guests find afternoon refresh to be one of the most delightful surprises of their stay.

Absolutely.

One of Orchard Canyon's most cherished amenities is direct access to Oak Creek.

Guests enjoy two private creek access areas located directly on the property, allowing you to experience the creek without the crowds, parking challenges, or busy public access points often found elsewhere in Oak Creek Canyon.

Simply walk from your cabin to the water's edge and enjoy:

• Swimming
• Wading
• Relaxing beside the creek
• Reading beneath the trees
• Cooling off on warm summer afternoons

For many guests, the creek becomes the centerpiece of their stay.

Yes.

Oak Creek is known for excellent fishing opportunities, and guests enjoy easy access directly from the property.

Visitors travel from around Arizona to fish these waters, yet Orchard Canyon offers the rare advantage of stepping directly from your cabin into one of the most beautiful stretches of the canyon.

You may even find yourself sharing the experience with our resident blue herons, who often arrive looking for their own catch of the day.

Arizona fishing regulations apply.

Very much so.

Orchard Canyon offers children something increasingly rare: space to explore.

Families enjoy:

• Creek swimming and wading

Imagine:

• Morning coffee overlooking the creek
• Long walks through the orchard
• Fireside evenings beneath the stars
• Chef-prepared dinners shared without distractions
• Quiet cabins tucked among trees and gardens

Rather than filling every moment with activity, Orchard Canyon creates space for meaningful connection.

Whether celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, proposal, or simply time together, many couples find the canyon naturally invites them to slow down and reconnect.

Cabin amenities vary slightly by accommodation, but generally include:

• Coffee and tea service
• Hairdryer
• Bath amenities
• Cozy bedding and linens
• Outdoor seating areas

Some cabins also include mini refrigerators.

Most do.

The majority of Orchard Canyon cabins include air conditioning.

A small number of our historic creekside cabins do not, allowing guests to enjoy open windows, fresh canyon air, and the natural sounds of Oak Creek flowing nearby.

Many returning guests specifically request these cabins because of their connection to the outdoors and authentic canyon experience.

No.

Our cabins intentionally do not include televisions.

For over a century, people have come to Oak Creek Canyon seeking something increasingly difficult to find elsewhere: peace, presence, and connection.

Without televisions competing for attention, guests often find themselves:

• Reading more
• Talking longer
• Exploring outdoors
• Sleeping better
• Reconnecting with family and friends

Many guests tell us that stepping away from screens becomes one of the most restorative parts of their stay.

Wi-Fi is available in the Lodge.

Cabins are intentionally designed without internet connectivity to encourage rest, presence, and genuine retreat.

Many guests initially find this surprising and later tell us it became one of their favorite aspects of the experience.

Guests may reserve a variety of wellness experiences before or during their stay, including:

• Massage therapy
• Reiki sessions
• Sound healing
• Forest bathing experiences
• Guided meditation
• Facials
• Detox foot baths
• In-cabin red light therapy

Our team is happy to help create a personalized wellness experience during your visit.

Absolutely.

The orchard is the heart of Orchard Canyon.

Guests are invited to:

• Wander orchard paths
• Explore the gardens
• Sit beside the creek
• Observe wildlife and birds
• Experience blossoms, harvests, and seasonal changes

This is not ornamental landscaping.

It is a living, working landscape that helps shape the experience of the property and often contributes ingredients to the meals served during your stay

The story of Orchard Canyon spans more than a century.

The property began as a homestead and orchard in the early 1900s before evolving into Todd's Lodge in 1929.

In 1972, Gary and Mary Garland purchased the property and operated it for decades as Garland's Oak Creek Lodge, creating cherished traditions that brought generations of families back year after year.

In 2017, the property entered its next chapter as Orchard Canyon on Oak Creek, while continuing to honor the land, orchard, hospitality, and spirit that have defined this special place for generations.

Today, Orchard Canyon remains one of the most historic and beloved lodging properties in Oak Creek Canyon.

Yes.
