The Spirit Tree Inn, with its tranquil location, stunning scenery and comfortable, private accommodations is a perfect place for a private spiritual retreat. Rest in the shade of the massive Cottonwood Tree and draw from its deeply rooted strength. With private guesthouses, as well as a limited number of guestrooms in the main house, you can count on lodging for your spiritual retreat that is not overly crowded, a secluded getaway that will allow plenty of breathing room.

The Hopi people, a native nation whose pueblos are in northeastern Arizona, use the roots of the Cottonwood tree as the only authentic material from which to carve Kachinas. These figures represent spirit beings, the katsinam , who dwell in the mountains of their homelands. There are hundreds of different spirits represented, mostly benevolent, but some intended to scare children into proper behavior. Artifacts of this religious practice have been dated back to the 1300’s in Arizona.
