    In March-2011-- I spent some Quality time in this beautiful setting writing my 2nd Book. It was such a Treat to wake up to the Nature Sounds and Beauty. The Indian Spiritual Grounds Resonated with my Highest self and gave me much Inspiration to write in peace, quiet and Solitude.! I highly recommend this Beautiful Place of Peace and Tranquility for that "Higher-Self Attunement and Complete Connection to GOD-Creator." I did Myself a favor and Justice to allow myself to connect to such a Beautiful Spiritual Source! Thank you Cochise Stronghold B & B! My Book writing Was Completed right there !

    A delightful earthy, off the grid experience! Friendly people but be aware that some fellow visitors are practicing their vows of silence, so don't be spooked.

    I had the oppurtunity to stay with Nancy & John at their B&B in Cochise Stronghold this last weekend. Let me say that I enjoyed their peaceful and secluded location and wonderful surroundings. Upon checking in through checking out, it was a pleasant & relaxing stay. I had the chance to stay in the yurt, and would highly reccommend it to anyone looking for a cheap (but enjoyable) getaway!

    We spent three marvelous days in the Stronghold. The animal life and birding are superb, as are the breakfasts. Nancy and John are great hosts. The hiking in the stronghold is rewarding, with well marked trails of easy/moderate difficulty. We highly recommend finding this spot.

    We stayed here for our 26th anniversary and it was better than our honeymoon. Words can not describe how wonderful it was.
