M Diamond Ranch Lodging
As our exclusive guests, you stay in the “Little Gem” guest house, which sleeps six in two bedrooms with two baths and a full-sized kitchen, and has a large patio with fire pit, gazebo and gas grill. Your visit can be customized to your interests to take advantage of our trail rides and Cowboy Cookouts. You will find the ranch a convenient home base for day trips to Sedona (35 minutes), the Grand Canyon (two hours), close-by wilderness areas, and numerous other attractions in the Verde Valley and Northern Arizona.
This is a truly unique western ranch-style lodging experience for families or groups from two to six people. You’re the only guests on the Sedona area’s only working cattle ranch that hosts guests, because we reserve exclusively one party at a time.
Accommodations
The accommodations are very comfortable and modern, but not 5-star luxurious. It’s a working ranch, after all!
