 Enchantment Resort  Enchantment Website Tii Gavo means "a gathering place".  It is casual dining in a 5-star resort setting. Rick and I decided to relax and enjoy an afternoon at the resort that brought us to Sedona. It only took one night under the stars in our casita for Rick to say "Sheri, find a REALTOR®"!  So I did, that was 19 years ago! We have owned our home here since 2003.Red Rock Canyon WallsThis was our view as we enjoyed a nice early dinner.  As the sun sets in the west, the shadows creep up to red rock walls in Boynton Canyon. It is "enchanting" to watch.  Every few weeks we drive 30 minutes to get to the back of Boynton Canyon where Enchantment Resort sits. This canyon is amazing to drive.  You start to unwind as soon as you turn down Dry Creek road. Each of the quotes b...

  Sedona Weather Recap Final for 2019 Everybody has a different threshold of what they think is a good temperature range.  The above chart is designed to show you different temperature ranges and how the days fall in those ranges.  Note: There were no days with a high below 32º. This means that snow melts every single day if we have any.  Because humidity is felt in both cold and warm temperatures, the temps do not feel as hot or cold as other areas of the United States.  We get very low humidity overall. That means no "sticky" weather or "frigid to the bones" weather! December seemed a lot colder than previous Decembers. However, This December was only2º to 3º cooler than last year.  It was all about the cold front coming in from California.  There were more cloudy and rainy days with ...

The Special Area of the Sedona Chapel in the Rocks   This video really helps to showcase not only the Chapel of the Holy Cross but the community that is immediately adjacent to it.   When was the Chapel Built? The Chapel of the Holy Cross sits on top of red rocks right off the SR 179. It was built in 1956 and that area has been known as the Chapel area ever since then.  The sculptor and local rancher, Marguerite Brunswig Staude was inspired by the architecture of the Empire State Building and wanted to build a church with that type of architecture in mind.  She worked with Lloyd Wright the son of Frank Lloyd Wright. She attempted to do this in Budapest but retreated back to her native land of Arizona at the outbreak of WWII. We are lucky she did! She built what she envisioned right here...

Holiday Dusting of Snow In SedonaHoliday Dusting of Sedona Snow from Rick & Sheri Sperry on Vimeo. During the holidays, a cold front came in from California. It started late on Christmas Day and it kept trying to snow. Little flakes came down sporadically all day long. We definitely did not have a "White Christmas". But the storm eventually gave us a dusting of snow to appreciate the beauty of our red rocks in Sedona Arizona, especially during the holidays.
