Litchfield Park, AZ
The Wigwam was originally built at the height of the Roaring Twenties as a gathering place for Ohio-based executives of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company discovered that the West Valley of Phoenix was a prime location to grow cotton for the production of rubber tires. Accordingly, a residential complex was constructed for workers and their families during the growing season, as was a vacation retreat for company executives to stay in when visiting the cotton-growing operation. As the retreat grew in popularity, lodgings and amenities were added to the resort. On Thanksgiving Day in 1929, The Wigwam opened as a full-service resort with accommodations for just 24 guests. Today, this AAA four-diamond desert oasis spans 440 acres and boasts 331 guestrooms, a luxurious spa, a fitness center, three restaurants and bars, three swimming pools, prominent conference facilities, and three championship golf courses, including two historic courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Over the years, The Wigwam has remained one of the most iconic hotels in Litchfield Park Arizona, offering a timeless blend of history and luxury.

Claim This ListingFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a B&B and a boutique hotel?
A B&B is typically an owner-operated home with a few guest rooms and homemade breakfast. A boutique hotel is a small, design-focused hotel (usually under 100 rooms) with unique decor, upscale amenities, and a restaurant or bar. B&Bs are more personal; boutique hotels are more polished.
How much do unique stays cost in Litchfield Park?
B&Bs range from $100-$250/night. Boutique and historic hotels run $150-$400/night. Inns are $120-$300/night. Wilderness lodges and resorts can be $200-$600+/night, often including meals and activities. Prices vary by season — summer and fall (leaf peeping) are peak in most regions.
What are the best regions for a B&B getaway?
New England (Vermont, Maine, the Berkshires), California wine country and the coast, the Carolinas and Georgia low country, Colorado mountain towns, and the Pacific Northwest are all exceptional B&B and inn regions. Each offers unique scenery, food, and experiences.
Do B&Bs and inns accommodate families?
Many do, but some are adults-only for a quieter atmosphere. Check the property listing or call ahead. Family-friendly properties often highlight kid amenities, connecting rooms, or cabins. Lodges, resorts, and larger inns tend to be more family-oriented than small B&Bs.
What is the cancellation policy for independent stays?
Policies vary by property — most require 48-72 hours notice for a full refund. Peak season and holiday bookings may require 7-14 days notice or be non-refundable. Always check the cancellation terms before booking. Booking direct (not through aggregators) often gives you more flexibility.
Why book a B&B or inn instead of a hotel chain?
Independent stays offer unique character, local knowledge from owners, homemade food, and often better value. You support small businesses and local economies. The experience is personal — owners recommend restaurants, hidden trails, and local events that guidebooks miss.
