Noftsger Hill Inn

What a wonderful place -- loved the old schoolhouse with the high ceilings & wood floors! Beautiful place to spend the weekend!

We spent 2 nights here & thoroughly enjoyed the inn. We had high expectations for the rooms and they were even bigger than we imagined. Not a sitting area in your room - rather, a bedroom combined with a large living room. Some might not like the old fashioned claw foot tub, but then those folks would likely never select this inn anyway. The shower worked fine, so we liked how the bathroom fit the rest of the decor. Spacious open area in the "lobby" with plenty of sitting room for reading or meeting other guests. Interesting antique furniture both in the rooms and throughout the building. Breakfasts were very good and there was more than enough quantity & variety. We were especially fortunate that one of the guests had actually attended this school years ago, so we had fun asking questions about what it was like. High marks for service! Rosalie would not take "no" when I was unloading our bags and helped carry things to our room. When she learned we like a 5 O'clock cocktail, an antique tray was laid out for us with glasses, stirrers, napkins, etc. Rosalie also tolerates chatting in the kitchen, even if you are getting in her way.

An old schoolhouse (circa 1906 or 7) turned into a B&B and the rooms are the size of the original classrooms - huge! The owners have a done a great job of restoring the rooms. The place had wonderful "ambiance". A great place as a couple or for a group of people to stay as there is plenty of common space or room in the rooms to get together. Breakfast was homemade and wonderful!

Noftsger Hill Inn is an exceptional B&B. The accommodations are immaculate & comfortable. Plush & plentiful towels, great lighting for reading, and the charm of this antique-laden schoolhouse add up to a delightful visit.

The old school is wonderfully restored. What a great place. Breakfast superb.

Here you will find the old Noftsger Hill School, renovated into a quaint B&B! You will fall in love with the yummy southwest breakfasts, the charming schoolhouse classrooms/bedrooms, and the hospitality of Dom & Rosalie Ayala!

Rosalie greeted us at the door, and showed us around her magnificent school. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The beds are super comfy & breakfast was excellent. The water pressure for showering was super.

If you were ever thinking of staying in Globe, AZ...be sure to check out the Noftsger Hill Inn! Rosalie, the owner and hostess, is an absolute SWEETIE!. Me, my sister & nephew stayed there 7/2 & 7/3 2011 and Rolsalie made us feel right at home. Not to mention the awesome home-made breakfast burritos for breakfast! Will be staying there again for sure! Ed, Sue & Travis

The room is huge and inspiring, yet we felt completely cozy and comfortable. Roslie is a fabulous cook and a gifted hostess. So many extra touches to make us feel welcome! We will be back!

Stayed here 2 days October - Nov 2010, and loved it! Rosalie was the best! From now on, when I go back to my hometown (Globe), I will make reservations here.

Our group of 6 had a delightful stay with Rosalie over the 4th of July weekend festivities. The Inn was charming and full of character, and the service was both personal and professional. Will come again!

We had heard about the spacious classrooms converted to lodging and found the accommodations to be even nicer than we anticipated. Especially nice were the many current magazines as well as assortment of hiking books available to guests. Rosalie was so helpful and prepares a delicious breakfast. We added our comment on the blackboard with plans to return in the fall.

An old school where classrooms have been attentively transformed into enormous bedrooms. Very unique. Excellent breadfast. The innkeeper is an exceptional cook, besides being very welcoming. Top of the class!

Delightful rooms, delicious breakfast, with a gracious innkeeper.

spacious yet cozy and charming. can't wait to return.

We spent the night of our anniversary in a charming 1900's era school that was fascinating to explore. Each room is decorated in its own motif with great attention to detail. Our hostess was attentive and helpful, and served a delicious breakfast. We have lovely memories of our evening in front of the fire at Noftager Hill Inn!

Staying at this restored schoolhouse brought back memories of our 35 years each as educators. Rosalie is a charming hostess and great cook. We loved our huge pink room and were cozy as could be. Great VCR tape library. Highly recommend it!

My husband and I spent two nights in this unique b and b in March 2009. Our room was large and lovely, with huge windows looking out over a desert planting. We were able to observe birds from our room. The coffee is ready early and the breakfasts were very different from each other and equally delicious. The main room and the bathroom are artfully decorated. The main entry hall is full of reading material. We will definitely stay there again when we are in the area.

This was our first time ever at a B&B and it was awesome. The antiques were out of this world -- the schoolhouse itself was interesting & had a lot of character. The furnishings were super & owner was awesome -- breakfast was the best.

Rosalie made us feel at home from the moment we walked in the door. This home has southern charm with an antique flair. Visitors will learn much about the town and its people from browsing the halls!

Unique B&B in an old 2-story schoolhouse. Bedrooms are huge classrooms -- very light and well- furnished with antiques & great beds & linens. Rosalie is a marvelous, helpful host and cooks an amazing breakfast.

We've stayed at countless b&b's, all of which exude great charm & I have enjoyed, but this may be the single most spectacular room we've had the pleasure to inhabit. I believe we were in room #3 - it's the pale green room on the ground floor. Absolutely beautiful. The proportions are beyond grand - this is one of the high-ceilinged, cavernous classrooms of days gone by. There was a wall of tall windows with great views out onto the town & mountains. Two queen beds plus a twin on the other side of the room, great for lounging & reading. Lots of beautiful craftsman-style furniture that looks great with the pale green walls. The famous chalkboard that you can write your comments on. Nice bathroom. Outside the room, there are all kinds of books & magazines & seating areas in the old main center hallway. The breakfast was top-notch & was served in another former classroom. I just loved the massive proportions of all the rooms. What a fun place to run around & explore! There are still old signs outside the rooms that say things like 'library' or 'office'. Rosalie has managed to gather up & display old class photos of former students, which really gives a sense of history & place.

What a lovely way to step back in time to a quiet, restful place where people are friendly and caring. The inn is quaint, comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious.

Spacious, charming, enjoyable in every respect. Ms. Ayala is a most gracious host and a superb chef. The breakfast she served, on the guests schedule, was superb. I will definitely return for another stay and recommend it to friends and associates.

I'm already recommending this as a wonderful, relaxing getaway to all my friends and family.

Noftsger Hill is an old school house converted to a B&B. The rooms are old classrooms. The innkeeper, Rosalie, fixes an over-the-top hearty, delicious breakfast. This is a great place to relax and explore the antique shops of Globe/ Miami.

Arizona Watchable Wildlife Tourist of Association (AWWTA) promotes rural outings to see Arizona's unique and plentiful wildlife- from birds to bears! We enjoyed our stay in globe-old silver mining tour and Boyce Arboretum- full of history!

Great atmosphere, perfectly clean. Something delightful to see at every turn (antiques, lots of reading material, books, games, etc.) Homey, hostess like a good neighbor. Huge school house windows to enjoy views.

Rosalie makes you feel at home in this charming and historic school house inn. Views, rooms, furnishings, food are all excellent! A must when in Globe!

Fantastic rooms, great theme and delicious brekkys.

This B&B holds a special place in my heart because I attended kindergarten and first grade there when it was a school. I've stayed there twice now (once in my former K classroom), and I love it. The rooms (most at nearly 900 square feet) are gigantic. The furnishings, which include many tasteful antiques, are period-perfect. Beds and linens are top-drawer, and cleanliness is obviously a priority Rosalie is an impeccable host and an excellent cook. The B&B is an excellent staging point for forays into the old mining and ranching country around Globe, and this is a major birding area. From the second floor I never tire of looking out over the hills and old homes where I grew up.

Yes, you can sleep in a classroom at school, without being sent to the principals office. Antique furnishings replace the old school desks and the wooden ruler. Chalkboards laden with messages of former students and teachers (even the principals) return visits. Breakfast gets an A++ grade of homemade recipies topped with homegrown herbs.

My wife and I spent one night at the Noftsger Hill Inn and had an enjoyable time. Our room on the first floor was HUGE. The breakfast that was served the next morning was out-standing, more than either of us could eat. Rosalie was a very gracious host. We would recommend this inn to everyone.

the service was excellent! owner even picked up concert tickets for us! gave us a coupon for dinner . it was clean and inviting. we are planning on our next visit!

This was the best Bed and Breakfast my boyfriend and I ever stayed in, and I consider myself quite the expert because we make it a point to try to stay at B & B's before was go hotel. The rooms were so large with antiques, and some ol'school house furnishings. The Innkeeper was friendly and helpful, when we were in search of shopping. Lastly, the breakfast was amazing. The Innkeeper made breakfast burritos with fresh tomatos and peppers from her garden! The OJ was fresh squeezed - what more could you ask for. I have a special place in my heart for the Noftsger.
