This B&B is one of the nicest we have ever stayed at. It is clean, well cared for and well staffed by great people. Patie is quite helpful and provides a great breakfast that is second to none. The grounds are well designed and very well cared for. The buildings look great and provide a really comfortable experience. We visit... More

This is a fantastic B&B but, frankly, it's more than that. Or at least more than any other B&B we've ever visited. We honestly felt like we were at an exclusive Hollywood-ish retreat, perhaps in Palm Springs. Maybe it's because it was built by Merle Norman, but whatever it is, they make you feel—very—special. • It is very, very private.... More

This was such a beautiful place...an incredibly relaxing and comfortable historical ranch property that has been carefully restored. The Merle Norman suite was perfect and very spacious. Cindy and Amy were so wonderful, helpful and gracious. The grounds are beautifully maintained, including the large pool which was very refreshing in the 100 degree heat. The breakfasts were amazing. Peaceful relaxation... More

the desert setting is spectacular. The elegant main building was built in the 20s and has larger rooms; the second building is fine, but the rooms are smaller. The sense of peace, the hummingbird garden and the lovely setting make this an ideal destination for those who want to "get away from the bustle." Do not try to check in... More

My girlfriend and I recently had a short, two-night stay at the Inns. It was a perfect experience away from work and school. We just wanted to kick back and relax. The grounds were so peaceful and spread out that we just ended up staying on the premises all day, laying out by the pool and having a picnic at... More

We spent 3 nights in March 2012 to tour the Tucson area and do a little cycling. This is a beautiful property, tastefully developed and renovated. The decorating was really gorgeous and no detail has been missed. The breakfasts were tasty and nutritious. Its the type of property where you just want to hang around and soak it all in.... More

A great relaxing place to base day trips from or to just stay and enjoy the beautiful grounds - enjoy coffee in one of the back areas (meditation garden, star gazing spot, fire pit, maze...). The delicious breakfasts made fresh and featured unique and varied recipes and were always a great way to start the day. The world class breakfasts... More

Something a few miles away from my house that made me feel 3 thousand miles away from home. "Staycations" seemed so status quo and overhyped to me until my wife treated me to a stay here for my birthday. As you drive through the private gated entrance you surely pass through a portal and enter a land where time stops... More
