Dozens of low-profile adobe-style casitas make up this resort with "panoramic views of the Red Rocks" and pine forests. Staff deliver fresh orange juice and a newspaper every morning. A central clubhouse has two restaurants, a game room, and a gift shop with items made by local artisans. At Yavapai, signature dishes include cast-iron-skillet roasted scallops with heirloom bean succotash.
