Great overall stay

Owner of the home was great with communication and clean home overall. He was understanding of my dogs cheating the curtains and allowed us to replace them. Break down in communication over the payment between the owner and house cleaner.

Weekend getaway

The house and location was great. We loved the light and airy feel of the house. The open sliding doors were awesome. We were very comfortable in the house. The neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed the patio for morning coffee and evening dinners. We would definitely stay again.

Birthday weekend

We loved our stay! House is perfect for 2 couples. Cute house cozy. Just a small love seat and 2 chairs so living room not super cozy but I’m not complaining because we were mostly out and about. If you want to chill at night and watch movie it’s not too comfortable. Patio so cut very nice view. Both beds comfortable and bedroom super cozy.

Perfect place to stay in BZB

Loved everything about this place - the layout, the cleanliness, the beds, THE VIEW, communication from the hosts - it was all perfect. It's fun to check out new places when traveling, but I don't see any reason to not make this my regular stayover spot when I go to Bisbee. Thanks to Cedric & Coco for the wonderful stay!

Delightful stay!!

This house is very, very nice! So cosy and comfy, that it's sadly time to leave. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings exceeded our expectations. Details such as a nice variety of books, movies and music, made it easy to settle into a pleasant mood.

Perfect for walking to Old Town BZB w/out having to negotiate lots of stairs at this property

What an ADORABLE & "quirky" lil' town. This home added to the experience! PERFECT for us. Most homes built into the hillside & most have lots of stairs. We chose this property bc: *Walking distance to town (if willing to walk up/down a hill). Directly on BZB 1000 course! *Minimal stairs to front door (think carrying luggage, groceries, etc in/out!) *Pkg: Most rentals have street pkg, this property has dedicated pkg spot & flat) *Lg patio w/ small grassy area for dog And the best part..entire "middle" of house has swinging doors that open to patio & views of town/mtns!! Other things we liked? *SPACIOUS!! 2b/2b never felt so open! *Perfect for 2 couples traveling together. Each bedroom & full bath are located at separate ends w/ L room, kitchen & outdoor patio in between. Each couple can have privacy & share the lg common area. Even had room in L Room for my exercise bike *Washer/dryer: nice to have for longer stays *Cheaper than hotel & get all the space! Don’t come to BZB expecting traditional 5 star accommodations. I don’t believe that exists here? Come to BZB & choose your rental based on uniqueness, charm & amenities you look for. We travel a lot & have many benchmarks to compare to. We seek out unique properties w/ character, personality & charm. This property did not disappoint! For our complete 9 day itinerary see my notes in the travel forum that sounds like “rip visor”. 😂. Can’t say the real name here….sorry.

Great Experience

We had a great stay at Cedric's home. It was spacious, clean, and very walkable to all the best places in Old Bisbee. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and the big windows and doors that brought in a ton of great light. Cedric was very communicative and which made the entire stay seamless. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking and eating items necessary, but it would've been great to have some coffee on hand since coffee shops open a bit later in the morning, as it would've been great to watch the sunrise on their awesome outdoor space. Besides that very minor thing, we would most definitely stay here again. Thank you Cedric!

Great Getaway Stay in Bisbee!

We had a great two-day getaway to explore Bisbee. The house is in a perfect location, clean, and very relaxing in the morning when you open up all the doors and have your coffee out on the patio. Great place and will definitely recommend this place to our friends. PS. Do the Qween Mine Tour, it's well worth the $14 price per person. Also, visit and buy some amazing pizza from Gus the Greek at Pizzarama. Pro Law Enforcement and he's quite the character! Trivia...Maybe you can find out why the book, "Shackleton", is in the library in the house.

Amazing home and stay

Myself, my daughters and our dog came down for a funeral. The owner and property manager were so helpful and accommodating. The house is near everything and can easily walk to downtown restaurants and businesses. The doors that open all the way to the yard are beautiful and such a fun feature. It’s hard to find 2 bathroom short rentals and this was a huge plus. Would absolutely stay again. Thank you for having us!

Fabulous stay

Lovely home - clean, comfortable, well stocked. Good water pressure, comfy bed. Loved all the notes everywhere - great host communication! Convenient location; walkable to many places. The uphill climb back was a little rough, but don’t let that deter you; you can also drive & park to places just as easily. Would definitely stay here again!

A lovely home and an easy walk into town

The house was so nice, we kind of wanted to just hang out instead of going out to do things! But go out we did, and the walk back was pretty easy for Bisbee (everything there seems to be up hill). It was just the two of us, but the arrangement, with a bedroom and bathroom in each of the two “arms” of the U-shaped floor plan would have been great for two couples to share. Well equipped kitchen, nice music and movie selection. Hope to stay again some time!

About the host

Hosted by cedric shackleton

Cedric Shackleton is a medical research scientist originally from UK . He is an Emeritus professor at UCSF. and lives most of the time in Berkeley California.

Why they chose this property

My Welsh grandfather was a miner in region and I fell in-love with town when I first visited in 1980. I've had vacation homes in this town for 40 years and love it because of it history, weather and physical beauty. The town is nestled in a valley of the Mule mountains. It's a liberal oasis in a generally conservative area

What makes this property unique

My house special as it is recently constructed while following classic design and features. It is in middle of town. Great area for biking, hiking, birding, hanging out in local restaurants and bars. Enjoy the artist galleries. Bisbee is the friendliest of towns with active social scene.
