Whenever I travel to Sedona, my itinerary always includes driving along the stunning rock formations of scenic Oak Creek Canyon. On numerous occasions over the years, I’ve either stayed at or visited Don Hoel’s Cabins.
During my most recent visit, however, I discovered that the property is now under new ownership and no longer the traditional Don Hoel’s Cabins that once served the community for decades.
Although the property is now operating as Kena Wellness Resort, I am very pleased to see the continued success of such an incredibly special and historic landmark.
As soon as I stepped into the front doors, staff welcomed me into their freshly renovated lobby and provided me with a tour of the updates on the premises. I am excited that the resort has made tremendous changes, and am impressed by all of the upgrades and improvements!
The new ownership deeply values how transformative and healing the environment is. They warmly invite locals, newcomers, and returning visitors alike to immerse in and enjoy the tranquility and magic of Oak Creek Canyon. In addition to their quaint cabin accommodations, they provide guests with private creek access as well as therapeutic amenities (such as massage and yoga therapy).
While I will never forget all of my fond memories at Don Hoel’s, I look forward to making new memories here at Kena Wellness Resort. A relaxing, holistic, and unforgettable stay awaits!

The barista was super sweet and very knowledgeable of the area. My sister ordered a macchiato but a macchiato outside of Starbucks is a completely different drink. The barista inquired politely and made the drink according to my sister’s preference. Our drinks were absolutely DELICIOUS!! She even advised us which route to take to avoid the traffic after our hike. We didn’t get her name but we appreciated her very much! Thank you for taking such...
