Winslow Arizona 

  

click photo to enlarge		 This is La Posada a restored Harvey House in Winslow Arizona. We stayed here for 2 nights in 2003 and absolutely loved it. I wanted to spend the night in Holbrook in a Tepee at the Wigwam Motel but Karen won out.

Coulter built and designed it so visitors would have the feeling they were visiting a rich uncle's great hacienda. While all of the original decorations are gone, the new owners have done a wonderful job of decorating it in a similar fashion. Room rates are also very reasonable
