Take off your watch, put on your comfy
clothes, and leave that hectic life behind at School House Inn
- a Bisbee Arizona Bed and Breakfast. Spend some time
birdwatching (some rare ones spotted around the patio) or
reading on the inn's shaded patio, or nap in the double
hammock on the hill. Watch the stars twinkle from the balcony.
Sleep with the curtains blowing in the fresh mountain air,
then wake to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a
delicious hot breakfast. Browse the web from your own room
with Free WiFi Internet. Sound good so far? There's more....
School House Inn is a historic brick school
built in 1918 at the height of Bisbee's mining days. Located
high in the west end of Tombstone Canyon, in a scenic Old
Bisbee neighborhood, the inn is a perfect getaway. Originally
built as Garfield School to accommodate grades one through
four in four large classrooms, the school was converted into
apartments in the 1940's. In 1989, it became a Bed and
Breakfast Inn. Copies of the original school blueprints can be
viewed in the main stairway.
In keeping with its educational days past,
each room has a school subject theme. Just down the hall from
the Principal's Office and Library you will find the Music,
History, Art, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic rooms. Pick
your favorite subject -- school was never this enjoyable! Each
spacious room offers you a private bath, comfortable beds, and
12-foot ceilings in peaceful, home-like atmosphere.
Bisbee's wonderful mile-high climate
provides you with outdoor enjoyment year-round. Directly below
the Inn, Garfield Park provides basketball and volleyball for
your enjoyment. |

gift shops, antique stores, cafes, museums, and art galleries
-- or climb the many stairways ascending the mountains for the
same breathtaking view of the old town that the copper miners
had in the early 1900's. |
