Dave, when you visit MV, you can stay in the cabin John Wayne used when making Ford's films. It's about 200' from where I shot that photo.

I suspect you'd need to reserve it long in advance, though...and it probably ain't cheap.

Hey Lanny - the cabin story intrigued me, so did some searching. The John Wayne Cabin & Museum are part of the Goulding Lodge and Resort, who settled the area in the 1920s - Harry Goulding convinced John Ford to film in Monument Valley; the cabin was used by 'Mike' Goulding as her potato cellar and was used for exterior shots in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon - the inside is a mini-museum w/ Wayne memorabilia, so not really available for rental - more info in the quotes below (Source). Some pics and a nice video showing the inside of the Wayne Cabin which was never used in any Ford films; also, a bunch of good pics from TripAdvisor - Dave :)

P.S. Video will run w/ the link, sorry.

P.S.S. Forgot to add the quotes below - from the link above.

Goulding’s Lodge is an historic, sprawling complex in Utah, just outside the borders of Monument Valley. Goulding’s features a lodge, campground, stores, restaurant, and a museum. You can use Goulding’s as basecamp and from here enjoy all of your butte and mesa excursions, hire a guide and take a tour to far-reaching scenic destinations, or relax and enjoy a bit of Western history. There is much to do.

Goulding’s Lodge dates back to 1921 when Harry Goulding and his bride Leone (nicknamed Mike) purchased 640 acres of property here. They operated a trading post for decades. During the depression, Harry sent photographs of the local environs to Western movie director John Ford, who was looking for new places to film. Ford fell in love, and he and actor John Wayne would eventually film many movies here. Upon visiting Goulding's, you can learn about all of the history yourself. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Behind the museum is Captain Nathan Brittles’ Cabin—also called John Wayne’s Cabin. This was actually a potato cellar used by Mike Goulding, but director John Ford used it for exterior shots of the personal quarters of the character played by Wayne in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon . The interior is made to resemble that in the movie, although this interior was not used for the movie.

Just finished our last hummingbird banding session at the Sedona (Arizona) Hummingbird Festival. This is the view from our room (that's Bell Rock in the center), and the banding was done on the right side of the courtyard.

Lanny - beautiful pic - brings back many memories, i.e. I've been to Sedona often and always enjoyed the beauty - just a couple of web pics to stimulate others who may not be familiar w/ the scenery - now just wondering 'how many' western films were made in the Sedona & Monument Vly areas? Dave :)
