Location
Make Penumbra Your Desert Getaway Starting Point
Far from the hubbub, yet close to the action, Penumbra is ideally situated for your visit to all there is to see and do in this beautiful desert valley.
We’re just a short drive from the Red Rocks of Sedona, the historic mining town of Jerome, trendy Old Town Cottonwood, the Verde Canyon Railroad, Tuzigoot National Monument, Dead Horse Ranch State Park, and the Verde Valley Wine Trail.
Popular day trips include Flagstaff, Prescott, and Arcosanti.
Avoid that notorious Sedona traffic (unless you want to go there) while staying close to all the good stuff!
