The house is tastefully decorated with the work of our many local artists.

French doors invite you to enjoy the large back bedroom with a Tempur-Pedic adjustable bed and a 32" TV with cable. There is plenty of light from three windows and a skylight, and beautiful custom crafted closet doors. And for those chilly nights, or when you’re just in the mood, both bedrooms have their own electric fireplace!

About the host
Hosted by Eva and Dave McElroy

Why they chose this property
We were spending so much time in Bisbee we decided to buy a place! We found this house, built in 1905, and set to work making it what it is today. We love making old houses pretty again, and fully functional! We think we have one of the best houses in Old Bisbee.
What makes this property unique
Great family neighborhood and still close to all the action. Very walkable. We feel very comfortable in this home and spared no expense to make it that way!
