The views are just gorgeous! Our room was the Mariposa and was more than we could ask for. Clean, comfy bedding, magnificent views, and the best hospitality. The breakfast staff were efficient, super friendly, and the dishes were delicious. We especially liked that the bnb is a short drive to town. We prefer being a little outside of the busyness. I can’t say enough about the location, hospitality, and views. Oh, and you have a surprise treat nightly;)

Stayed here 3 nights in June. Overall a nice experience, but there were some exceptions. We glanced the owners a couple times. Engaged with Whitney & Christie once, but felt they really weren't interested in conversation. I know some people prefer a B&B for the quiet privacy it affords but I enjoy meeting people and I'd hope my hosts would want to learn about their guests. I understand the concerns with COVID, but we were all wearing masks and one can have a conversation while standing 4-6 feet apart. They did have a fantastic system for getting room items replenished (leave the basket from your room outside your door with dirty towels and they will replenish). Our rooms were always locked and no one entered while we were there except myself and husband. Our friend's room had some issue with the shower which didn't get resolved; they were able to use the shower but was a bit inconvenient. The breakfast staff was lovely...one sweet woman who was very engaging and worked hard to get what we need. However, we (there were 2 couples in my traveling party) all felt breakfast was "eh". It was adequate but nothing to write home about. The same goes for the nightly snacks left out for guests. The food could use a little pizzaz. The coffee is extremely dark roast, not to my liking, so was disappointed in that so I enjoyed the orange juice and wonderful English Breakfast tea. The traffic getting to and from downtown Sedona was awful at times. Would I stay here again? Maybe. There were a few billing issues when we got home but they were very good about taking care of it right away.…

It's all true. The setting is just the best - people go to Sedona to see the rocks, and there they are, just beyond your private balcony. Room was clean, efficient, stocked with everything. There's an evening snack available, and a full breakfast if you want it. Our balcony was small. Other rooms have larger balconies. The room overlooking the parking lot has the best views (even though the parking lot is part of it.) But really, take any room and just enjoy the place. Hard to imagine a better place to stay in Sedona.

My mom and I stayed here for 4 nights in June 2022 and had an amazing time! You don't even need to leave your room or the parking lot to have some of the best views in all of Sedona. We could see Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte right from our room and they were just a short drive to hike. We also loved Chef Wendy and her delicious breakfasts. She made us feel so welcome every morning and we loved her creative and beautiful dishes. Our favorite was the fry bread! We can't wait to go back!

this is really one of the best B&B's we've ever stayed at. Start with the location--right up against some incredible red rock formations just outside your window. Then we have the hospitality--from the owners' commitment to service and quality, to the housekeepers, to the servers at breakfast. Always positive and patient. The chef does an incredible job each morning coming up with a gourmet breakfast. One day poached eggs over a sausage patty and sweet potato hash browns, another day navajo fry bread with eggs and beans. There's also a snack fridge for water, soda juices open to the guests anytime. Rooms are spotless and all feature amazing views of the red rocks. Great location in Sedona with restaurants and stores nearby. A wonderful experience!

This B &B was better than expected. The view from our room was spectacular high up on a mountain looking at Red Rocks of Sedona. Our room was clean , bright and airy with a south western decor, yet modern and inviting. Many charging ports for electronic devices. Complimentary breakfast was wonderful and very pleasant staff. We were comfortable coming and going as we pleased. A short drive outside of Sedona proper which was fine with us as it was very crowded the farther north we went. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Sedona.

The Penrose is in Oak Creek Village, a very complete part of Sedona. It is about 15 minutes from the center of Sedona and many of the reviewed restaurants. However, around late morning - mid afternoon, it will take longer. Because VOC ( village of Oak Creek) is less developed, it is quieter with less traffic. There are quality restaurants and available hiking trailheads near by. The most popular hiking trails are however, mostly accessed through Sedona which means the bumper to bumper traffic. The B & B is very clean, the rooms have beautiful views of the red buttes. The breakfast staff is outstanding. Their breakfasts are delicious! I only saw the owners and office staff once when I had an issue and needed to speak with them. They were helpful, but I would have enjoyed a bit more interaction. It was as though I was alone in a house. I generally left by 8 am so I didn't have an opportunity to interact with other guests. I knew they were there as the parking lot was full in the evenings!! I stayed in the Coconino which was a fine room, however, the heat was an issue. The thermostat often read 75 for room temp. I had to turn on the AC to cool the room at night as turning down the thermostat didn't work. The nights were cool, but the room too hot! I also found the pillows uncomfortable, and there were 5 of them...all pretty lumpy. And yes, I could have asked for a different pillow to try, but it was not convenient to find anyone to mention my concern. Don't take this review the wrong way, would I go back, probably as I did appreciate the location and quality of the house. A real positive of VOC is the proximity to Cottonwood and Jerome. Both towns had some wine tasting, Jerome a beautiful drive up the mountain, and is not as scary as often described, but I stayed on 89 as it has snowed the previous night. I'll write a separate review for the two towns.…

Response from Christie Pope, Owner at The Penrose B&B
Responded Jun 20, 2022
Thank you for your review. We, too, are sorry that we were unable to interact with you on a casual basis. We have set up our covid protocols to be as contactless as possible. We understand that people often choose bnb's for the social interaction, and we do have interesting guests, so that is a definite negative. Hopefully, someday we will be able to return to normal. Sorry to learn that your room was too hot but glad you discovered that setting the temperature doesn't help unless you turn on the ac. We appreciate the heads up regarding the pillows. Will change them out for new ones.

The Penrose is in need of some attention to cleaning and updating. The view from our room was great but the furnishings were in fair condition and old. Breakfast service was good but a set breakfast for all. Considering the price we paid, I know I could have found better options.

We just spent 3 nights in the Coconino room during our first visit to the Sedona area. We were very pleased with everything from the time we made our reservation through our departure this morning. The room was fantastic with great views from the large windows. We spent time on the balcony taking in the red rocks during the day and the stars at night. The staff was very kind and provided a very nice breakfast each morning. We highly recommend the beautiful Penrose B&B.

The Penrose is in a great location - with views of the mountains from most of the rooms - but that can be said of most places in Sedona. The rooms themselves are small and lack refrigerators. Breakfasts are good (evening treats are minimal) but overall, the Penrose is very expensive for a good breakfast and tiny rooms.
