Origins Bed and Breakfast

We scheduled a stay here for our 1st anniversary. We both came down with Covid right before. So had to cancel & reschedule. Jeff & Karen were very accommodating & made it happen a few weeks later. Their property is beautiful! The location is amazing -- out of town with great views & was very peaceful & quiet. The room was pristine & very comfortable. Had everything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious. And the other areas of the grounds were so inviting that we didn't want to leave the premises. Great hosts!!!! We will definitely return & tell others about it.

Lovely B&B with superior accommodations, great views, delicious breakfasts and two very welcoming & knowledgeable hosts. Jeff and Karen have thought of every detail needed for a perfect getaway in a beautiful, well-cared-for environment. This is an exceptional lodging, offering easy access to hiking, river walks and local attractions. Karen and Jeff care about the Verde Valley and it shows.

This place is wonderful. Its outside of town, on a large, beautiful property and is a gorgeous, spacious, cozy & immaculately clean home. The hosts, Karen and Jeff are phenomenal. They thought of everything when appointing the rooms. Bath salts, lighters for candles, corkscrews, etc. The food was phenomenal and they accommodated my dietary restrictions graciously and successfully. We hope to come again and would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Thank you both for a wonderful experience!

My husband and I stayed two nights at Origins and loved every moment. Jeff and Karen were exceptionally gracious, friendly, and accommodating hosts with great knowledge of the local history and sites. They have created a warm and welcoming B&B, with exquisitely furnished rooms and stunning 360 degree views of the local country from every point on their property. The generous breakfast was a morning delight and when we had to leave very early on our final day, they prepared us a wonderful take-away for our journey. We highly recommend this as a place to stay - but be forewarned, you may never want to leave.

Origins is a gem, and I would give it 6 stars if I could! This is a true bed and breakfast, with on-site hosts and a 5-star, three course, made from scratch, super filling breakfast served each morning. The maximum number of guests is 8 adults, so it's very intimate. EVERYTHING detail about Origins has been considered, from the rooms themed on the four origins of the area to the amenities provided. Karen and Jeff have traveled a lot, and they know what travelers need and want. And, if they didn't provide it, just ask! You can get a lot of information from their website, so I will focus my review on what you don't see there. First, the breakfast. The value here cannot be overstated. The breakfast provided is delicious, artful, and extremely filling. Each day is a smoothie, a fruit-based plate, and a huge protein-based plate. We estimated this saved us up to $70/day because we didn't need to buy breakfast or lunch out. And, the breakfast sustained us through hikes, long drives, and sightseeing. The coffee is freshly ground and served in a French Press, and you can also get teas or other hot drinks. Karen also provides you with the next morning's menu to make sure it is something you will enjoy, and she accommodates all kinds of food preferences. Second, the hosts. At breakfast, we would tell Jeff and Karen our plans, and they would give us lots of tips on how to make it even better. These were things like alternate (less crowded) routes, hikes, or parking; don't-miss stops; locally-owned restaurants and shops, etc. Lastly, the inn. Every detail is considered, and most of it was designed and created by the owners. The baths/showers are experiences! The beds are extremely comfortable, and the whole inn is just lovely, with private and common outdoor spaces. And, the stars...oh, my! The stars are breathtaking! Since Origins is a bit out of the downtown area and in a dark-zone, the stars are spectacular. You may even catch some wildlife passing by as you're stargazing! I seriously cannot recommend this place enough!! One tip - you will need a car to get around, but you'd probably need one anyway if you're doing anything outside Cottonwood itself. For reference, from Origins... Sedona is 20 minutes away. Old Town is 10 minutes. Jerome is 30 minutes. Flagstaff and Phoeniz are about 1.5 hours away. Page is about 3 hours away.
