You have done an outstanding job of making your B&B a very inviting place that will continue to bring upbeat guests. The best aspect of your property however is YOU!

"Margaret and I came to cottonwood to do a little sight seeing, experience the beauty of the Verde valley and to simply rest. We found your desert rose B&B on the internet and having never stayed at a B&B, your display of the rooms and the grounds encouraged us to stay with you. Your attention to our individual needs were met and you and your family made our venture very relaxing and fun. We look forward to spreading the news of your desert rose and to return again to see how your facility and family have grown and changes you may have made. I am thankful you had a few young turkeys, cats and puppy to make me smile. May your family continue to experience peace, love, joy and Success!
