    Inn Details

    Where New West Style meets Old West Hospitality! Go back in time as you enter the historic 1950’s Tucson Ranch House and estate built by Merle Norman. Carved wood beams, rope trim, and hand hewn local rock fireplaces make our East side Tucson B&B a vintage western experience. Relax under deep shaded porches, stroll the paths to the swimming pool and spa, stargaze from our dedicated patio through a Mead telescope, or challenge your companion to a game of billiards or croquet. This Tucson Bed and Breakfast offers a unique marriage of luxury and comfort defined by Arizona’s rich hospitality heritage.
