What a great place to stumble on. I spent hours searching the internet looking for a place to stay in Bisbee and came across The Shady Dell. As soon as I saw it on the net I was hooked. And it lived up to all my expectations. I'm approx. 1.90m tall and I deliberately booked the smallest trailer (The No.8... More

OK - you have to know what you are getting into with the Shady Dell. You're staying in trailers, or in our case, a boat. It is not luxe or large so if that is what you are looking for, you will be disappointed. But if you are into quirky it is a lot of fun. I definitely echo the... More

My husband and I eagerly looked forward to our trailerpark adventure. We had chosen El Rey on line (they have a great website). The vibe was just right with vintage decore, mood lighting and oldie tunes on the radio. They even had fig newtons and a percolator coffee pot that made a mighty fine brew. It was a little tight...

Great fun! We stayed the night in terrific vintage trailers! Each one was completely outfitted with authentic 50's furnishings - from the sofa and beds, right down to the percolator, high school yearbooks, and TV! We had an absolute BLAST enjoying all of the details that reminded us of our childhood. Plus the management dressed in adorable period clothes and... More

This was our second annual trip to Bisbee, and our second annual trip to the Shady Dell. We loved the Shady Dell so much that, again, we've booked next year's accommodations already. It's that good! We again split our stay to experience two of the vintage trailers. The first night, we stayed in the Spartanette. It is a great trailer,... More

So much love has gone into these restorations that you can't help but feel it oozing from every crevice. I spent my first hour in the Mansion beaming from ear-to-ear while I flicked through a 1960 LIFE magazine and cranked up a 1950s TV set to watch a classic 50s horror movie (in black and white of course). The air... More

We are New Zealanders "Kiwi's" who have recently done a 6 week riding holiday on our Harley's, just the two of us. In the early stages of planning this adventure I came across "The Shady Dell, Bisbee". We agreed it was on the Must Do List up there with the Grand Canyon, the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Gracelands Memphis,... More

Vintage trailers, with a lot of attention to detail. We made cocktails with the kitchy shakers and glasses, then played vintage boardgames all night squeezed in the little dining table. Creepy cemetery behind worth a twilight stroll. The vintage car diner on site has great food. Bisbee is chock full of great antique/thrift stores with reasonable prices. If you're up... More

Clean, and fun. Loved the owners and the trailers. Worth the side trip any time. More
