You must be in the soul-renewal
business! From our nature trail hike to feeding chickens
in the a.m., it has been wonderful! Thank you for
the opportunity to be present to nature at its finest.
… and the hot tub under the stars was fantastic.
–
Mary Ellen & Gene, Bellingham, Washington
Thanks for everything – the food, accommodations,
conversation and the massage were wonderful! I can
return to Tucson a renewed woman! I’ll be back
soon!
– Liz, Tucson, Arizona
Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for
us to be able to spend uninterrupted time with our
son and daughter-in-law. We have traveled to many
places, in different parts of the world- and this
setting rivals any places we’ve seen. You are
lucky people to live here. We were very comfortable
in you B&B and hope to return.
P.S. – I want a yurt!
– The Darbys
It’s great to be back in Arizona after 20 years
absence! Our stay at your fabulous B&B made the
return a success that will long be remembered. The
peace and serenity cannot be equaled anywhere in our
journeys. The breakfasts you served were outstanding
and so appropriate. Our hike on the Cochise Trail
took us back in time to the Apache era. The lunch
you made for us really hit the spot. We hope to return
again with friends. Thanks so much for the hospitality.
– Roger & Mary Lou, Beverly, Ohio
This has been for us the “find of the last many
years”! The combination of intimate canyon setting,
wildlife, summer rainstorms, gourmet breakfasts &
great hospitality has made for the perfect setting
to celebrate our 36th anniversary and renew our love.
And for the first time in many vacations, we barely
looked at our watches! If this wasn’t enough,
we fell in love with the straw bale house. (I spent
time pouring through the “Straw Bale House Book”).
Having designed and built our own house in the Tucson
foothills, we certainly identified with your wonderful
experiences. Now you have us thinking about building
a small getaway strawbale house somewhere in southern
AZ. We really appreciate your attention to energy
conservation, resource efficiency and in general,
your respect for our planet. We deeply share those
values and admire your ability to live them! I’m
sure you haven’t seen the last of us and we
will spread the word about Cochise Stronghold B&B
to colleagues & friends. All the best
–
Dale & Paula, Tucson, Arizona
WOW!!! I am soooo pleased with this B&B that I
cannot find words to describe how amazed I am! All
of these words don’t come close put together.
Wonderful, awesome, amazing, stupendous, beautiful,
fun, outstanding, comfortable, heaven, peaceful, indescribable,
one-of-a-kind, fantastic, exceeds expectations, my
official favorite get away! Perfect. I travel a lot,
so I stay at a lot of different places! Countless
amounts of places! Your place is and always will be
my top favorite! I have never been soo pleased with
anything! I will definitely come back Even if it’s
the last thing I do….banked in memory forever…
– Pearl & Kyizom, Waterloo, Ontario,
Canada
Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to both of you
for providing such an earthly opportunity for us to
commune with nature and all its beauty and majesty.
Your facilities are great; your hospitality superb.
We enjoyed our stay and hope to return. As we approached
Cochise Stronghold we were overcome with a feeling
of spirituality that has stayed with us and was enhanced
while at you comfortable B&B.
– Sam
& JoAnne, Half Moon Bay, CA
What an incredible experience it was for us to indulge
ourselves in this haven of beauty. Thank you for sharing
this beautiful and refreshing place with us. We will
definitely be visiting you again.
– Jesse,
Selene, Natasha, Stephanie, Tucson, Arizona
This is a lovely, peaceful, relaxing place. We enjoyed
the petroglyphs & even saw a group of javelina!
Sorry we never met you, but Randy was a gracious host.
The scenic beauty here is amazing. The breakfasts
were delicious – especially the pancakes &
the apple butter was first rate (this from an eastern
Pennsylvanian who was raised on great apple butter).
Hope to come again soon.
– Melissa &
Charlie, Tucson, Arizona
It takes brave souls to commit to living in this harsh
country, but the rewards are evident. Thank you for
a beautiful peaceful end to our short but much needed
vacation. We love your natural desert garden, the
birds & other wildlife and the touch of artistry
in everything. We wish you the best, and will certainly
recommend your place to our traveling friends.
– Richard, Hummelstown, Pennsylvania
A wonderful weekend – thanks so much for all
the nourishment for both body & soul! We’ll

an unexpected delight) if it turns out. See you again.

and beautiful accommodations! The hot tub experience
is a memory I will cherish always – so many
stars!!! Dinner was awesome. Thank you again.
– Sharon, El Chaon, CA
(Child’s handwriting)The teepee was so cool.
We were laughing the whole night long… This
was a great place to stay. We were so cuddled up in
this little room. This was probably the most cuddly
“hotel” we’ve ever stayed in. We
went to the Chiracahua Mountains and this was a great
place to come back and stay.
– The Wood-
Isenbergs, Tucson, Arizona
This is one architect who thinks you’ve done
a fabulous job! Thanks for the inspiration to think
about how to “get off the grid”…
– NBK, Tucson, Arizona
I have a few special places in my mind that I go to
when I need a spiritual/ mental rejuvenation. I now
will add walking on your land and looking back at
the mountains, especially the face that is there,
to my special list. Thank you so much for everything.
The book says it all but in a way it doesn’t
even begin to tell the story of what it means to be
here. Namaste.
– Cindy & Stan, Chicago,
Illinois
March - We had a wonderful time. Thanks so much for
the hospitality. Thank you Sean, for the guided tour
of the mountains. This place is outstanding! We hope
to return next May, ... we will be sure to send you
a copy of the video we made with our guide, Sean.
Again –“WONDERFUL’.

Laura & Bryan, Wisconsin
We met here for a mother-daughters reunion, coming
from three states to be together here for a retreat.
We are leaving refreshed. Our visit invigorated and
touched all the sense!
Taste through Nancy’s delicious healthy breakfasts,
Sight through the painted mountain backdrop;
Smell through the hand made goat milk soap;
Touch through the sheep skin thrown and divine bed
coverlets;
Sound through the birds songs and Enya.
Our souls were restored. We will have joyful memories
of our family togetherness time here… and thanks
for the recipes.
– Rosena, Rache, Becky,
Sarah (Missouri, California, Tennessee)
Heaven – in every way… great place…

Will definitely be back

Fifi, Puyallup, Washingon
Thank you for hosting our 1st Anniversary weekend.
We can’t imagine a better way to have spent
it. You certainly live in a very magical, peaceful
place. Please be sure to thank you husband for the
delicious bread. We look forward to meeting him when
we return. The food was fantastic… All the best
to you & yours.
– Katie & Bryan,
Tucson, Arizona

I do envy you for the views you have and for your

We are really glad we picked you bed & breakfast
to celebrate our first year of marriage. We would
love to be back soon. Thank you for everything.
– Vic & Inoica, Tucson, Arizona
We had a wonderful, relaxing time here. The campfire
was great – and those stars viewed from the
hot tub – indescribable. And the food was great,
too. What more can you ask for?
– Bill
& Ellie, New York City
I was lucky enough to discover your beautiful place
while doing a construction project for the Forest
Service with my partner, John .. last year. Since
then I’ve often thought of sneaking back here
with my wife Kristina for a getaway. I’m so
glad we could finally make this happen. Years ago
I spent much time in the Stronghold Rock climbing
and this trip brought back many of those memories.
Thank you again for all of your relaxed hospitality.
We hope to return soon.
– Mark & Kristine,
Tucson, Arizona
What a great experience coming out to Cochise Stronghold.
Nancy you are truly a great hostess. It is so peaceful
out here. We really enjoyed every minute.
–
MaryLou, Jim, Dayville, Connecticut
It’s beyond words here. The breeze sitting on
the front porch listening to the hummingbirds whiz
by and looking at Cochises’ sanctuary all at
the same time. How is heaven possible in the Arizona
desert? Who’d a thunk?! Thank you for the excellent
meals, the friendship and conversation. Hope to be
back soon.
– Holly & Erik, Tucson,
Arizona
Thank you for the relaxing environment. You have fit
into this breathtaking land. You have done a wonderful
job keeping such an ecologically sound business!
– C&L, Tacoma, Washington
Your lovely B&B has been just the respite we needed.
It is gorgeous here, tranquil, peaceful. Thank you
for the wonderful experiences. We’ll be back.
– Rudy & MaryLee, Phoenix, AZ
Thanks for keeping a haven of peace and quiet. Second
time here and relaxed at 60th. Hiking was great...
and so was the hot tub afterward. Nice to finally
meet you… your “helpers” last time
were also great. Don’t change a thing!
– Mark and Paula, Tucson, Arizona
What a perfect paradise! We have enjoyed your comfortable
home which was to thoughtfully designed & constructed
to be part of this natural environment. It’s
been fun to watch the myriad of colorful birds come
& go and to be visited by skunk & javelina
during our brief stay. Thank you for wonderful food
& hospitable welcome. We hope to return for a
longer stay.
– Beth & David, Evantson,
Illinois
Lovely place!! Quiet, beautiful & very private
Two days is not nearly enough to enjoy everything
this place has to offer.
– Liza, Karin,
San Jose, California
Thank you for a most rejuvenating and peaceful stay.
My short time here has connected me a bit more to
nature and your home has even inspired this “city
slicker” to one day try my hand at building
our own straw bale house. You truly make your guests
feel special
With your welcoming demeanor and willingness for a
chat! The hot tub was fantastic as was our specially
prepared gourmet breakfast! This is not a trip I will
soon forget.
– Gaven & Jessica, Tucson,
AZ
We are staying at the … with my 88 year old
grandmother and slipped away to come here for a night.
Spent the day on the Cochise Trail then home “to
here” for a beautiful evening & morning.
Hummingbirds, woodpecker, tit mouse – peace.
My brother and his family were here last week! ..
– Chris & Neil, Worthington, Ohio
We had a remarkable time from start to end, it is
beautiful, peaceful and exactly what we hoped for.
We will tell everyone about this place and hope to
return ourselves sooner than later. Thank you both
for creating such a secluded paradise! What a perfect
place to celebrate the news of our first baby and
Valentine’s Day,
– Danny & Katelynn,
Fort Huachuca, Arizona
First we worked our way through the Handiwork, then
we were welcomed and fed by the Handmaiden, then the
Handiwork. On the third Day we met God, and congratulated
him deservedly. …I would answer a resounding
yes if asked, would you go again?
– Micky,
Hildreth, Kate & Bob, Grand Junction, Colorado
6 nights were not enough! We could stay forever. Thanks
for such a great set-up.
(Child’s handwriting) - I lice’d it here
a lot!!

Worthington, Ohio
We are so glad to have found you! When escape of the
mind is the only recourse, we will remember our time
here and find comfort. Looking forward to our next
visit.
– Karen & Andy, Tucson, Arizona/
Lima, Peru
Wow! We crammed a lot of peace and tranquility into
a short stay. What a place. We depart reluctantly,
but relaxed and replete.
– Barry &
Kathy, Tucson, Arizona / San Francisco, California
This is a very peaceful and glorious getaway. The
hiking is splendid and the hospitality is warm and
inviting. Thanks for the restful weekend.
–
Carol & Syd
A glorious place of peace, contentment and joy. The
food and water taste “better” and the
air is pure. We could almost feel the rocks telling
stores of the Apaches. We’d love to come back!
Thank you
– Ralph & Ann, Tucson &
Prescott, Arizona
Ate a lot of wonderful food. Hiked a great hike! Enjoyed
the spectacular scenery. Read a lot of “Calvin
& Hobbes”. Thanks for the incredible hospitality.
The apple crisp is the bomb!
– John &
Kim, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
A true jewel along the path. Long life, honey in the
heart, and thirteen thank yous. We loved our stay!
Thanks so much for your splendid hospitality, your
magnificent place, the bird feeders, the javelinas,
the good reading. We hope to return soon.
–
Linda & Jack, Washburn, Wisconsin
We are sooo happy you had room when we called you
at the last minute. This was such a gift to stay here
– the hospitality, the room, the setting –
we certainly could have stayed a very long time. This
was actually what we needed before we join our children
again and resume our “daily” lives. I’m
sure we’ll be back and will definitely recommend
this treasure to others…
– Gavin
& Steven, Cedar Falls, Iowa
We’re writing tonight because we’ll move
to the tipi (teepee?) tomorrow and might forget to
find this book before leaving the following morning!
We are very grateful to have found our way to your
home. You have cooked us marvelous meals (chile rellenos,
salsa, beans, pesto, potatoes, berries…!), given
us a very comfy bed and sheltered us in this solar
straw, mountain wayside. Thank you!
Your advice about the Cochise Stronghold Trail access
and the cranes was much appreciated, and your flexibility/
innovation with thermoses, meal-to-go, and ***massages***
was great. The information in the notebooks was helpful
too. On Christmas night we found our way here in the
dark guided by the directions you’d e-mailed
to us in N. Carolina. Next day we hiked leisurely
on the Cochise Trial, misidentified scat/ we deduced
“javelina” you replied “ringtail”!)
and tracks (we decided “fine” then …rejoiced
at experiencing on uninhibited Milky Way from the
ringside seats in the hot tub….…to witness
the sandhill cranes arise at sunrise. Then massages
and a transfer to the tipi…We hope to see you
again!
– Sue & Michele, Farnerville,
North Carolina
What a lovely retreat here in the Dragoon Mountains.
The physical beauty is a joy. The strawbale house
is so lovely & fascinating with its control of
temperature. And your meals were so grand –
delicious & plentiful - & the picnic was so
grand when we went to the Chiricahua Mountains. Thanks
for your hospitality - & the comforts. Hope to
return soon.
– Janet, Tucson, Arizona
Feb. - Many thanks for sharing a bit of your world
with us. We had a lovely trek up the Cochise Trail
past the divide. A good soaking rain on our way down
couldn’t dampen our spirits since we knew a
hot tub, a mug of tea, and our cozy Agave room awaited
us. Luxury! We love it all and leave refreshed, relaxed
and inspired.. 1” of rain.. we’re glad
for you especially since we’re plant people
too!
– Ginny & Wayne, New Richmond,
Wisconsin
This truly is a place where heaven and earth meet.
I enjoyed my stay here and am grateful for the beautiful
(quiet) landscape, food & comforts. I want to
return to conceive my first-born here – it has
been that powerful of an experience for me & I
THANK YOU!
– Kim, Traverse City, MI
We are grateful for your hard work and effort, to
ensure that there are still magical places like this,
on earth. And thank you so much for sharing it with
us. I could feel the stress draining from my body.
God bless you.
– Linda, Jim & Timothy,
Phoenix, Arizona
Mike and I arrived after a bustling day of errands
in Tucson .. and felt immediately comfortable and
at home. We hiked to the divide, spent a day luxuriating
and reading, loved the deep tub and bath salts and
especially hot tub under the stars. I love this canyon!!
Thanks for sharing it with us – “we’ll
be back!”
– Maureen & Mike, Haslett,
Michigan
After months of thinking about this trip, we arrived
and our expectations were met “+”. What
a delightful experience! So happy to have met Nancy
and John! Perhaps we’ll be fortunate enough
to return someday when the world is at peace!
– Ellie & Don, Roslyn, New York
Thank you! 3 wonderful days & nights.. beautiful
scenery, nice hikes, blue skies. Great food! We are
so glad to have found you. “A little piece of
HEAVEN!!!” and great stars from a lovely hot
tub!
– Jeff & Kimberly, Dayton, Ohio
Thank God for your spot on the internet – that
I could search for that “off the beaten path”
escape and find what my heart desired… I was
delighted to find the basket of bath salts & herbs
that thrilled my senses, then a bright red cardinal
danced outside the window enjoying the bounty at the
bird feeder. After going 2000 mph at work, I slowed
to 1mph to nap, read, write, hike, pray, re-prioritize,
reflect.. Life is good…
– Brenda,
Arizona
We will sure be back! Maybe many times! It’s
perfect! You go out of your way to do everything possible
to make people comfortable and spoiled! Great birding
too. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed.
– Emma & Susan, Vashon Island, Washington
Once again we had such a relaxing weekend! We enjoy
staying here so much. We ventured into TJ’s
Saturday evening. What a friendly crowd!
–
Chris & Terri, Peoria, Arizona
I was touched by nature here! Thanks for the memories…
“I’ve got that peaceful, easy feeling”…
– The Simpson family
Somehow beyond jumping to the usual conclusions, we
finally reach shore in Cochise Stronghold and are
then overwhelmed with Peace, Nature and the nicest
society that human kind provides. Thanks!
–
Bob, Malden, Massachusetts
Thank you very much for sharing your special place
with us. We hiked for two days and the views were
wonderful. I love chickens, so it was a special treat
to watch yours go about their business. Mandy was
treated to a quick view of an elegant trogan on our
hike today, so that will go to number one on her bird
list. Couldn’t ask for a better vacation. Next
time we’ll stay longer.
– Bev &
Mandy, New Hampshire
Had a wonderful weekend, enjoyed the beauty of Cochise
County and the hospitality you offered…
– John & Robin, Carefree, Arizona
Thank you so much for a wonderfully relaxing and lovely
3 days! You have an absolutely beautiful place and
we will look forward to our next visit here!
–
Dave & Nicolle, Yuma, Arizona
We have had a lovely stay and would like to thank
Nancy & John for their kindness and generosity.
We’ve also come to appreciate Cochise Stronghold
for its physical beauty, peacefulness and history.
All the best.
– Anita, Nadine, Joel, John
from Banff, Alberta and Vancouver, B.C., Canada
Thank you for all your hard work, kindness and terrific
food. After a long week of wandering about the southwest
we found the jewel – an oasis for rest and relaxation.
Hopefully when we call upon your fantastic courtesy
again you will allow us to share this warmth again.
Much thanks.
– Rick & Teri, Placerville,
CA
We enjoyed your lovely home. Our visit was much too
brief. The beauty that surrounds your home is brilliant.
Thanks for the excellent breakfast, the apple crisp
was to die for. Much thanks for your warm welcome,
hopefully our paths will cross again.
–
Randy & Karen, North Bend, Washington
This was a wonderful weekend. You made us feel right
at home and very comfortable. This is a beautiful
spot, and so drastically different from any landscape
back east. It’s easy to understand why folks
come here for it’s therapeutic experience. We
wish you many good things and thank you…. the
food was delic..
– Linda & Jim, Koxburg,
Connecticut
…service with a smile...one
thing that impressed me was how the two of you designed
the interior of the Agave room. I love the speckled
plaster, and the “every-little-detail”
aspect of the comfort experience you provide. I also
like the real life senior citizen chickens and the
eggs with the green shells. Also I like your decision
to use bromine instead of chlorine to halogenate your
tub. I don’t how you guys do it (I couldn’t
get up that early, cook for people and be nice to
them) but you do it well. Now that we know this place
is here (found it on the web) we’ll be sure
to keep coming back. For the hiking, for the eggs,
for the peace and quiet.
– Lisa & Andy,
Tucson, Arizona
Thanks for sharing your peace and solitude. This place
now “knows our name” as well.
–
Jon & Lin, Tucson, Arizona
The chickens are at the patio, 2 beautiful gourds
waiting to be packed for Seattle. What more could
you share? Thank you all for creating such a nurturing
retreat. We will return for a longer stay with you
and the magic rocks. Lucky us to have discovered Cochise
Stronghold B&B. Happy Birthday to me.
–
Marina & Deborah, Seattle, Washington
We feel privileged to share your little piece of heaven-on-earth
the quiet, space, scenery, hot tub & tipi are
memorable – as are the night skies, the breakfasts
& the hummingbirds.
– Mike & Diana,
Oxford, England & Adam, Anne & Daniel, Lexington,
Massachusetts
Incredible hospitality. Breathtaking atmosphere, the
company of a beautiful intelligent woman of depth
made this the perfect weekend.
– Clint,
Phoenix, Arizona
Thank you for a wonderful visit. It was so quiet and
peaceful and the food was excellent. We saw lots of
birds and 2 deer on the road. We took a short walk
here and a long walk at Tombstone four hours. It’s
been fun, thank you. We also think we located our
land.
– Elmer & Linda, Enumclaw, Washington
There are many places to choose from to stay at, and
we are glad we found you! What a beautiful place,
yummy food, peaceful and comfortable. We would love
to come back and will sure recommend your B&B
to our friends. God bless you,
– Ron &
Jane, El Paso, Texas
November - Beautiful time of the year to be here.
A great place to let all the worries of the world
go! Thank you so much for creating this place.
– Sunny, Washington
Thanks so much for sharing your peaceful home with
us. We spent our morning visiting with the hummingbirds
on the patio. We also visited Karchner Caverns –
what an amazing find! We’ll be back to see the
big room when it opens. Thanks also for feeding us
so well!
– Chris & Terry, Peoria, Arizona
April – You have thought of everything! We slept
lots, ate amazing breakfasts, looked for the big dipper
from the hot tub, hiked ourselves tired on the Cochise
Indian Trail and loved admiring the scenery and learning
about some of the history of this area. Thank you
lots.
– Barbara & Charles, Guelph,
Ontario, Canada
Back for our second stay – a whole week! It
has been bliss! Great accommodations, food, hospitality
and wonderful wildlife viewing. We will sure recommend
you to all our northwest friends. Thanks for everything!
– Emma & Susan, Vashon Island, Washington
Staying here, in the heart of Apacheria, has been
a lovely experience. We’ve enjoyed the quiet,
and your great accommodations – The surrounding
County is sacred, and in all aspects mystical. And
the company, the birds, skunk, the lizards, one deer,
one rattlesnake, and bat – made excellent companions…
breakfasts great!
– Kim & Wendy, San
Francisco, CA
Nov. 03 - Thanks for the wonderful peaceful place
you both made and for opening it to the public the
hospitality was spectacular (GOOD), the scenery awe-inspiring,
and John’s hand craft work is to die for, he
must put his heart in it. The picture frames are the
best I have ever seen, and the food well you know
what everyone said about that so I’ll say nothing,
because you have heard it all before, it’s all
been said. (I wish I could take some cooking lessons
from Nancy!!) This is breathtaking! Wish we could
have stayed longer, but we will back soon maybe after
our wedding.
– Christie & Douglas,
Tucson, Arizona
This is to thank you for all that you did for Doug,
the vitamin C’s and hot teas, the lemons, etc.
Thank you so very much, God must be so happy to have
an angel like you working for him on Earth. And the
hot tub under the stars was the best, so romantic.
– Christie, Tucson, Arizona
December 03 - Once again, we had a fabulous stay,
the hikes, the hot tub and the stars, the massage
(totally great!). The food too! It just doesn’t
get any better than this. See you next year!
–
Tim & Mary, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Nov. 03 - Thank you for a beautiful experience. The
food and accommodations were wonderful. I am Brigit,
whose great grandmother was of Cochise’s people.
She was with Naiche, son of Cochise, when the Chiricahua
Apache surrendered to U.S. Army. Her name was Morning
Star. My great-grandfather, Angus MacKindee, a Scottish
immigrant to Ontario, Canada, went to the U.S. Southwest
when a young man. He met my Apache great-grandmother
at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. They had twin boys, Wilfred
& Alfred and a girl, Irma. Wilfred was my mother’s
father. I am so happy to have seen this place and
to have walked in its beauty. I ask the Holy People
to bless everyone who respects and honors this place.
– Brigit & Charles, Albuquerque, New
Mexico
December 03 - We just love it here, so beautiful and
the mountains so awesome. Such peace and quiet away
from the normal hustle and bustle of life in our city.
And of course, the bird life is wonderful. And the
hot tub. And your hospitality for “happy hour”.
I could go on & on. Our stay was just fantastic.
– Maureen & Mic, Leicester, England
Here to see the Sandhill Cranes, this place a highlight.
Everyone wants to return. Thank you.
– Jo,
Judy, Jean, Rebecca, Phoenix, Prescott & Scottsdale,
Arizona
The magnificent backdrop and setting of the Stronghold,
the variety of birds scurrying around the feeder area.
The comfort and rightness of the strawbale house that
we felt a home in almost at once. The food and care,
both lavish and natural – our heartfelt thanks
for two wonderful days/nights.
– Ed &
Deborah, Torrey Utah/ Green Valley, Arizona
Thank you for your hospitality. In our quick tour
of Arizona, we will remember Cochise Stronghold with
pleasure and talk to our friends about it for sure.
Wishing you all the best.
– Susan &
Luke, Hoplanton, MA
Thank you for the perfect setting to invite spirit
to join us I planning what’s next in our work
together.
– Sandy, Tucson, Arizona
My heart is smiling as we leave the sacredness of
this beautiful land and beauty everywhere that you
provide. Namaste
– Vesna, Tucson, Arizona
What an inspiring place! We had a very relaxing and
revealing time. Thanks for having such a nice place
and doing the work you do. May the Spirit bless you
and your family. We’ll be back and bring the
whole gang!
– JoAnn & Rafael, CA
Thanks so much! The great breakfasts, the birds, the
tipi, the hot tub, the environment, the hospitality,
all fantastic! See you again soon, God willing!
– EE, NYC
December 03 - Many thanks for a wonderful stay! We
came from London (U.K.) for the rock-climbing which
has certainly lived up to expectation – “The
Wasteland” in particular was mind blowing. Staying
in such a lovely house that really feels like home-away-from-home
has made our visit to Cochise something to treasure
in our memories for a long time. The whole feel of
the place is so special, so many nice things, great
breakfast, beautiful house, the birds, the hot tub.
Hope to come back someday.
– Andrew, Paul,
Oliver, Seb, London, United Kingdom
Dec 03 - Thank you for creating such a wonderful retreat
for others to share! Here I was able to experience
my first B&B, my first massage, even my first
cardinal. You both do such a fabulous job making sure
that no detail is overlooked! Thank you again for
providing a setting in which people can relax &
reflect on things most dear to them.
–
Thomas & Katie, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Dec.03 - What a very special Christmas we’ve
had here! Members of our family came to gather to
celebrate and to meet up with those on the road. Jasper
(10 mo) had an incredible first visit to Arizona and
Olly, almost three will surely never forget our night
in your tepee! And Santa found them way out here!!
The tepee was truly a remarkable and rare experience
for us all. As we build family traditions we count
this as a highlight so far. Be well. You and this
blessed place will be remembered.
