I can only second everything that has already been written. There were 7 of us that stayed for 2 nights. Dragonview was completely stocked with everything that we needed. We cooked all but one at the house. Our one meal out was at Cafe Roka you got to try it if you have time. The town is fun but staying here really made it special. Thank you Bonnie for thinking of everything.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: thanks for taking the time to submit a review, and I hope you'll return soon.

The home was perfection! It was so well equipt with all the necessities and more. The view from the home and the relaxing hot tub was a bonus. Our party of four enjoyed our relaxing time there. Our favorite restaurant was Roka for italian food and the mine tour was a must. We also all enjoyed our play time with Rosie the property pooch. We will be recommending this great home to our family and friends. Thanks Bonnie! We will be back!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Glad you enjoyed yourself so much, and thank you for taking the time to write a review. Really appreciate that and I look forward to your next visit. It was a pleasure meeting you and your guests.

The Dragonview Retreat is the best vacation rental I have ever. It was warm (it was 20 degrees outside), clean, bright, and had all the amenities we needed to enjoy a weekend of relaxation with friends. A total of 6 people stayed at the retreat. The house was very comfortable for all guests. I look forward to coming back soon! P.S. I loved that we could bring our dog.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for your review! I felt bad that you booked during our unusual cold snap, so I'm glad to know you had a great time anyway. You and your guests are welcome back anytime!

We originally visited the Dragonview in Bisbee with our children and parents 13 months ago. We enjoyed it so much, we chose it again for a "date trip" for just the two of us. The house was just as delightful as we remembered, and it was great to visit again. This time, we had an opportunity to enjoy the hot tub under the stars (with snow on the ground!). Great trip; fantastic rental home. We plan to return in the future.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: You are most welcome to come again, with or without family! Thanks for taking the time to post your positive review, it's very appreciated.

Beautiful New Year's Holiday

Seven of us came to Bisbee to celebrate the New Year and it was a lovely experience. It snowed and we were able to sit in the hot tub looking at snow covered hills and an abundance of stars I haven't been that relaxed in a long time. The house was warm and comfortable and the fire place was charming. Bonnie even put up a Christmas tree for the holidays. We couldn't have been happier. On our first night, we walked downtown to get dinner and drinks. Bisbee offeres a lot of options, but my favorite bar was in the lobby of the Copper Queen Hotel. The best meal we had was at Table. I also recommend taking the time to visit the town's antique stores. The second night we stayed in and cooked. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and we had a good meal seated around a table with friends. I only wish we could have spent more time at there. Bonnie was exceedingly accommodating and helpful. Because of the snow they met us at the bottom of the hill to make sure that we made it up to the house. There was a lot of attention paid to detail and as a result we felt wholeheartedly welcomed. There were mints on the pillows of the very comfortable beds. I can't say enough nice things about this place and our experience there, so I will end by stating that I hope to go back.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Can't thank you enough for the detailed and thoughtful review! Snow events in Bisbee are rare, and it usually melts off the roads by noon. This time even the City was caught by surprise and consequently didn't get by to sand the steep corner. Neighbors all helped to hand shovel and salt that area, which is part of why I love Bisbee! Some kids made a 6' tall snowball downtown that was featured on the Tucson news. Certainly a memorable trip for you all!

My husband and I recently spent five nights at Dragonview. It is an excellent location for exploring Bisbee and nearby attractions. Bonnie's extensive knowledge of Bisbee history, art, architecture, music and dining enhanced immeasurably our exploration of historic Bisbee. In Sierra Vista we greatly enjoyed the Interpretive River Walk of the San Pedro River led by Friends of the San Pedro River. The house itself is delightful. Spacious, comfortable, well appointed and equipped, it is an ideal home away from home. Views from both inside and outside of the house are lovely. I especially treasured watching the sun light up the valley at dawn, the beauty of twinkling lights at dusk, followed by the glory stars overhead at night.Owner response: We so enjoyed your visit too, especially the hike along Old Bisbee's best mountain trail from the Dragonview house to the end of Brewery Gulch (actually Zacatecas Canyon) and then enjoying the afternoon of our local Buzz and the Soul Senders' music downtown. I hope other visitors will take that hike with or without us, so they can see Bisbee from above. Thanks for taking the time to post a review, it is really appreciated.

We had a wonderful family vacation! Bonnie was very helpful but only as needed. Bisbee is a wonderful town to explore. We've been twice and can't wait to get back. Dragonview is definitely at the top of our list of places to stay in Bisbee. The beds were extremely comfortable. My mom even wrote down exactly what brands, etc, everything was. We'll see if see can duplicate it! We would absolutely recommend Dragonview!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much for writing your review and especially for pointing out that you found the beds so comfortable. I really hope you'll come back soon!

Beyond our wilddest imagination. Booked a year in advance for our daughter's wedding, very spacious living, very well appointed. Kitchen totally equipped - we hosted the reherrsal dinner - 30 guests - what a delightfully entertaining local - close to town - loved the views - closet to die for - if you have a crowd, this is the house to rent - it has everything - lush towels, comfortable beds, spacious living - certainly made a statement amougst the newly formed family members and their guests and made what could have been a hectic wedding schedule a relaxed and serene event. Thanks Bonnie - best of luck in coming years. We hope to return to Bisbee again, the town has sure grown and improved - loved all the shoppes and sightsRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: I'm happy the "crowd" was pleased, and thank you for the positive review. Please do come back soon!

We rented the entire home for a family reunion. Absolutely loved it!! Great location and view, the beds were so com fortable that my husband wants me to replace our current mattress. Very well appointed. Best of all, it is within walking distance of town. The house was a great base for exploring Southeastern AZ - a wonderful to place to retreat to after a full day of activites. The entire family agrees it was the best reunion ever!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Our family enjoyed staying at this lovely home for a small reunion. My dad was born & raised in Bisbee so this was a special trip for all of us. While the stairs were a bit of a challenge for my mom, the house was very comfortable, the views amazing, the evening beautiful. While the house is off the beaten path it's quite easy to get to town. The house is equipped well & the beds are super comfortable. Bonnie the owner was there to greet us & left us a lot of info concerning the area. If we return to this area we would definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you for the nice review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I hope your dad enjoyed his trip down memory lane. I was quite a bit younger when I purchased the property, and of course stairs were no problem then! As you know, the town is full of them, all part of the charm of Bisbee. However, I am working on establishing an alternate route around the back of the property, which hopefully will make the place more accessible to the elderly or anyone who has difficulty with stairs. Hope you come back sometime to see the progess!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1979
About the owner: It is my long wished-for delight to share my Bisbee home with you and your family or friends. After 30+ years of renovations and reliance on many Bisbee artisans, the Dragonview is now ready for you to enjoy too. I hope you appreciate this unique town and renew your spirit in these magical mountains. My dog, Rosie and I live in the cottage, located at the far end of the property, so I am available to assist you if needed. I currently also work in Bisbee as a Community Development Program Manager for a 4 County area. I grew up in Canada, and moved to Bisbee in 1979. Later, I lived in Japan for 4 years, and was born in the year of the Dragon, hence my fascination with the creatures. The Dragon has many different meanings, but I like to think it will bring good luck to you! Be sure to take a picture with the life size Dragon Gate. I look forward to meeting you! Thank you for your patronage.
Why the Owner Chose Bisbee:
While still living in Canada, one day I looked at a map of Arizona, saw the name 'Bisbee' and suddenly 'knew' I was going to live there someday. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it, as many other residents and visitors have. The weather is near perfect, not too hot, not too cold, and the history of the area is fascinating. I love the sky, the stars, the mountain views and the warm people of this community.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
There are few quaint and historic towns in Arizona, and Bisbee is the best. Slip back in time while enjoying modern amenities and inspiring views from this large and luxurious mountain home. It was half the size and quite a mess when I first bought it. It has been my 'art project' and a real learning experience, something like the old movie 'Money Pit'. The fantastic views and large yard were always there but I totally rebuilt the house, including pine wood ceilings and cabinets, stone walls and staircases, and the remarkable iron work all over the property.
