While many dude ranches give the feeling of living through history, this 1928 Historic Dude Ranch can say that it’s a part of it. Fido won’t be the first A-lister to stay here, either. The ranch, along with two other buildings and an airstrip, used to make up the “Bar Lazy R.” In the heyday of Western movies, stars like Victor Fleming, Bette Davis and Clark Gable, who were filming in nearby Sedona, would hole up in the stone and log house. The home offers guests the same perks it has for generations: spectacular views, sunsets, stargazing and tranquility.
