I and my husband stayed at the Clarkdale Lodge for a week on vacation. The flat is a second floor unit so you need to be ok with stairs. It was beautifully decorated, super clean, and so peaceful. The kitchen, bath, and bedroom were all fully stocked. We did arrive in monsoon season so we had to run the a/c units, but were very comfortable. This is a great place to stay if you want to travel to lots of places in Northern and Central AZ. We visited Grand Canyon, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Sedona, Jerome, Cottonwood, and Prescott. Nothing felt too far away.
The Mexican resturant next door is good but you simply must eat in old town Cottonwood while you are here. The Tavern, Red Rooster Cafe, and Ancient Pillars were our favorites. They are literally right around the corner from Clarkdale. Firehouse Donuts is also close and really good.
So many areas were pet friendly around us I will definitely consider bringing our Westie next time.
We loved our visit to Arizona, and finding this historic little gem of the Clarkdale Lodge felt like icing on the cake.
