Bedford Village Inn
A recipient of AAA Four Diamond Award for 23 consecutive years, 12
Awards of Excellence from Distinctive Restaurants of North America,
and 18 annual Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence.
The Bedford Village Inn was once the site of a working farm built in
1810. Through a multi-million dollar restoration, the original residence
became the home of our nationally acclaimed Four Diamond restaurant.
The original barn was transformed into fourteen luxury guest suites,
which offer the most modern amenities to today’s guests, yet are filled
with elegant and charming details. Twin silos from the original property
stand sentry to our magnificent Great Hall that soars three stories high
and provides the most unique event site in New England.
Each of our fourteen guest suites is individually appointed. The drape
of an opulent fabric, the luxury of one-of-a-kind furniture or the crafted
details in even the smallest pieces is intended to please the eye. Perhaps you’ll luxuriate in your private whirlpool bath...surrounded by Italian marble and polished brass.
Dining: There is one aspect of the Bedford Village Inn’s philosophy that
is absolutely rigid and inflexible: To use only the freshest indigenous ingredients in preparing the most exquisite New England regional cuisine.
And because these ingredients change with the seasons, our menus
also change frequently to take the best advantage of them. The Bedford Village Inn has been known for its impressive wine cellar for over
20 years offering 8,000 bottles and 750 labels for both the novice and
sophisticated enophile.

Rancho De La Osa Guest Ranch
Rancho De La Osa is a 300 year old ranch property located 65 miles
from Tucson and is one of the last great haciendas in America. Established as a guest ranch in 1923, Rancho De La Osa’s history has been
lovingly preserved in the beautiful buildings that rest comfortably in
the rolling grasslands of the high Sonoran Desert.
Meal times are focused around quality food and wine, and daytime
activities include horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, nature
walks, and bird watching. Rancho De La Osa’s themed weekends can
include cowboy cookouts, wine tasting dinners, cooking lessons, cattle
round ups and informal western dance instruction. The outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, peace garden and massage services provide a
holistic approach to your restoration and relaxation.
The hacienda, built between the 1830’s and 1860’s, today houses two
dining rooms and four salons, with fireplaces for warmth and guest
relaxation. The adobe walls of the hacienda are more than two feet
thick, providing natural cooling protection from the summer heat and
warmth from the late night winter chill.
The territorial-style guest quarters, made from ancient clays of the
ranch, are wonderfully serene, simply elegant and perfectly weathered. The 21 adobe guest rooms are uniquely and vibrantly furnished
with Mexican antiques. All rooms are ground level with separate entrances and private bathrooms. Each has a porch that opens to mountain views and most rooms have a wood burning fireplace. All rooms
are in close proximity to the pool, hot tub, corrals and dining areas.

Whether you are planning a family vacation, couple who wants a romantic retreat, or girlfriend’s getaway… Palm Springs is “Fun in the
Sun” year-round.

village is the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. Palm Springs has since been sprinkled with Hollywood stardust,
where the holiday homes of stars such as Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope
and Lucille Ball paved the way for the visionary efforts of former Mayor Sonny Bono to occur; namely, the Pam springs International Film
Festival. If that isn’t enough, Palm Springs is becoming the center of
“Desert Modernism,” with stellar examples of mid-century modern architecture tucked throughout the community and available to enjoy.
The village atmosphere has been preserved and embellished over the
years. The streets, lined with palm trees, invite you to explore boutique shops, art galleries and museums while soaking up the sunshine
or dining outdoors among stunning desert scenery.
Palm Springs offers a wealth of activities and events throughout the
year. Soar to the top of Mount San Jacinto on the world famous Palm
Springs Aerial Tramway, play a round of golf at Tahquitz Creek Golf
Resort, or hike the ancient palm groves of the Indian Canyons. Tour
celebrity and mid-century homes, attend fabulous theatre performances, or wind down with a poolside massage. In the evening, stroll
the year round Villagefest, then relax with a swim under the stars.
Escape to Palm Springs…experience the perfect blend of outdoor entertainment and casual relaxation. Modern ingenuity and old world
design embrace a village vibe as unique as it is irresistibly chic.
