Nurture Your Soul at Aravaipa Farms
Bed and Breakfast Country Inn

Enchanting, Mysterious, Inspirational - a lost paradise found!  These are a few of the words guests use to describe their experience at Aravaipa Farms Bed & Breakfast Country Inn. Enjoy incredible bird watching, hiking or simply relaxing in this beautiful Arizona Sonoran desert wilderness preserve.

Aravaipa Canyon located 2 1/2 hours SouthEast of Phoenix, Arizona and 1 hour North of Tucson, Arizona is known worldwide for a dense biodiversity and spring fed pristine creek that weaves through the canyon.  Located next to the Aravaipa Wilderness Preserve, it is home to 100 butterfly species, 400 bird species, 93 mammals, and 47 amphibians and reptiles - the greatest diversity of vertebrates in North America and the second highest land-mammal diversity in the world.

 

"Across the Creek at Aravaipa Farms" also reflects the unique history of Aravaipa - sacred home to Geronimo and the Apaches, hardy pioneer homesteaders, Basque Angora sheepherders and traditional old west cattleman.

 
Carol Steele, owner and proprietor of Aravaipa Farms Bed & Breakfast Country Inn, a 1992 inductee into the Phoenix-Scottsdale Culinary Hall of Fame, weaves her magic in creating an Inn experience that tantalizes all your senses from...

Carol's Bourbon Chicken aromas permeating the dining area while you sip wine and talk to your hostess before dinner.
Taste the talents of Carol's  National Award winning lunches and dinners gleaned from extensive international travel and upscale restaurant experience.
Aravaipa Farms invites you to experience the natural sounds of nature permeating the air, the trickling water from many eclectic fountains to the songbirds to greet your start to the day.
Your eyes will dance in a veritable museum of folk art, Persian Kilim rugs, paintings, hand-painted tiles from Carol's personal studio and much more.
You'll sense the mystery and ultimate privacy that is both unique and rare only hours from two large cities.

Visitors have this to say about their experience at Aravaipa Farms Bed & Breakfast Country Inn......

 

 "Indescribable peace, joy and beauty.  A perfect hostess, who is a multi-talented artist with food, wood, and all the texture of life.  I've always dreamed of going to the Provence region of France.  Now I don't have to go, Aravaipa Farms is a piece of paradise for the world-weary or those who just love the beauty of life.  Thank you Carol."  May Jo West/Phoenix, AZ, November 25, 1996

 

"I know it's hard to believe that I am at a loss for words - and I'm a writer.  But sometimes less is just plain more.  Words would simply guild the lily.  Sort of trying to paint the Grand Canyon, it can never be done adequately"   Betty Marvin, Arizona Highways Publication.

 

"An old proverb says - Eat an Asian Pear and you will live forever . . . while here you can actually believe it is a possibility"  said one guest after eating a delicious pear crisp dessert.
