Thanks! I wanted to celebrate my 41st birthday in a special way with my family and I did! We enjoyed everything about this place. Being Navajo-Dineh and my sons are Apache it brought more meaning. The accommodations were very comfortable; the suite is very serene, peaceful, done in good taste. I admire all your environmental efforts in preserving this “spiritual” area. Once again “thank you”.
May you continue to “walk in beauty”.

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 send a copy of the photo of the gila monster (what an unexpected delight) if it turns out. See you again.
– Jan & Ron, Phoenix, Arizona

Thanks for a wonderful weekend. The wildlife was awesome. God Bless.
– John & Diana, Chandler, Arizona

Thanks for everything. We enjoyed the hiking and nature. Breakfast was delicious and it was a very relaxing weekend.

What a wonderful experience this weekend has been! What beautiful scenery! The food was great – you two have thought of everything to make your guests comfortable. Memories to last a lifetime.
– Horace & Jean, Paradise Valley, Arizona

Thank you so much for your easy going hospitality 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… wonderful friends.delicious food and ohhh the hot tub.
– Sherry, Dragoon & Scottsdale, Arizona

Thanks so much for everything. I feel like you are dear friends already, Lovingly
– Margaret (Sherry’s mom)

SPEECHLESS – it is great to know that places like this still exist. The tranquility is amazing and the scenery breathtaking- takes me back to Africa! Will definitely be back
– Luke & Lowberay, Brooklyn, London, Nairobi, Joburg and Port St.Louis

What a glorious place you have built! I hated to leave but hope to be back again. You are delightful hosts and breakfast is great! I hope life is good for you and wish you happiness & peace always.
– 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

Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality…. And those smoothies!! What a great place for me to celebrate my birthday with my husband. As I said, I do envy you for the views you have and for your knowledge of this area…
– Debbie & Tony , Tucson, Arizona

What a find! Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us. We hope to return.
– Dave, Libby & Jessica, Tucson, Arizona

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!!
– Sam, Melanie, Pete & Cythia, 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.
