A Cultural
Awakening in
Page Springs

When you
decide to stay at the Page Springs Bed & Breakfast Country Inn
in the beautiful and tranquil community of Page Springs just 7
miles south of Sedona, AZ, you'll step into a lush nature
preserve that is home to Arizona's largest trout hatchery, more
than 100 natural springs with more than 500 species of migratory
birds, three wine vineyards, an organic fruit orchard and, of
course, comfortable lodging courtesy of the Page Springs B&B.
The B&B is
nestled in the high desert of the Verde Valley on an eight acre
parcel of land called Rancho Feliz, or "Happy Ranch" in English. Two expansive homes
and a barn/studio with a gallery sit on the property with four
separate suites between them.

After a
day of fun among the Red Rocks of Sedona, where more than four
million tourists visit each year, you'll be ready for a little
rest and relaxation just slightly off the beaten path but
centrally located for jaunts to the historic copper mining town
of Jerome, a scenic train ride, and discovering ancient Indian
ruins. Because of its location, Page
Springs is the heart of a "Spiral of Wonders."

But
staying at the Page Springs B&B is not just about communing with
nature, sipping fine wine, and exploring ancient ruins.
It's about
an "American Evolution" as so aptly coined by the Page Springs
B&B owners: Connie Baxter Marlow and Andrew Cameron Bailey.
Connie, an accomplished Maine landscape photographer with
an economics background, and Andrew, a
British-born South African photographer/filmmaker with a
chemistry background, have spent their lives learning about and
loving the indigenous people of the world: Native
Americans, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari, and the Mayan
people, to name a few.

Their
experiences are reflected everywhere at Rancho Feliz where each suite has
an indigenous theme with related photography and artifacts.
If your mood is African, Mexican, Southwestern, or even
Polynesian/Hawaiian, there's a suite for you, each offering its
own unique cultural heritage.

Connie & Andrew |
The lesson
they have learned is nothing less than earth shattering; that by
understanding the freedom of spirit and connection to the Earth displayed by
the indigenous people of the world, coupled with modern
scientific knowledge, one can create an American Evolution. This
insight and acceptance will
release a new energy of interconnectedness between all people
that will bring us together as an expanded family.
After
spending a few days at the Page Springs B&B, Connie and Andrew
hope you'll come back year after year, not only to enjoy Page
Springs and their homes at Rancho Feliz but also because you've
become part of their expanded family.
