Host was quickly responsive to a small hiccup on check in. All was fixed quickly. The view of the Bisbee B from the property is magical. Myself and two friends had a great time. I’d be happy to stay here again! Super close to everything too!
Clean house, we have stayed here multiple times and love the layout of the house with our kids. We also like how easy it is to walk down the stairs downtown. Thanks
Might be the nicest VRBO I have ever stayed in. The location, the views, the outside patio - it's ideal. Will always stay here if visiting the area and will recommend to friends. Thank you Cedric!

Phil et al. Such a kind review and expect you to come again for a longer more relaxed visit. Hope the Puppy enjoyed too.
As a 65 year old I built the house myself(myself and hand-crane) up to the roof line, then I got the pros in. I’m 84 now and couldn’t do it.
Lucky me, I get to go again on Sunday🙂
Full of light. Many windows and patio doors that brought light into the living area. The bedrooms had full length black-out drapes, creating a pleasant sleeping area. The high ceilings throughout the house added to the general sense of light and airy and expansive spaces. Cream walls and furniture mixed with antique pieces added to the charm. Access to the generous patio was easy ... the property has an actual off-street parking area for your vehicle ... the kitchen was cute as could be and had every convenience and then some. A great window over the sink letting in even more light. We loved our time here and highly recommend the property AND the excellent location of it.
Great house - close to everything yet private. Felt like we were staying at a friend's house. This was our 2nd time renting from Cedrick - highly recommend!

Thanks Magdalena, loved that you said it felt like a friends house
The host was quite welcoming! We loved this place but the only drawback was that we thought it a bit overpriced compared to other places we stayed for three nights. It was quite comfortable and we loved the view and the hot tub. We probably wouldn't book it again unless the price was lower though.

Carolyn, I’m always trying to keep price down but not easy. Keep my eemaiil and hope you’ll visit again🙂
We absolutely loved our stay in Bisbee!! Great house and location! We had everything we needed and beds were comfortable. Fantastic communication as well! We will definitely be back to this house!
Wonderful home in Bisbee! My husband and I enjoyed the walkability and the hot tub to relax in after coming back up the hill. The patio area is lovely; I was out there every morning and evening. Comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Cedric is a great host - no lists of rules - just helpful signs for locking doors and windows. I hope to return!

What a lovely review, thank you. Save my contact info. Of course the house design, furnishing etc is me…but the presentation for Guests is through my great manager/housekeeper Coco.
Yes, come again!
Cedric, the owner.
Accommodations and location were perfect. Communication with manager and owner was great. We were lucky to meet the owner who was so hospitable, charming and informative. We will definitely book here again for our next trip to Bisbee.

Sorry about the door problem...they can be bit of headache
Perfect location for checking out Bisbee. Centrally located within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and bars. We went with another couple and the split floor plan provided privacy.

Dear Peggy,
Thank you so much for your kind review. When I designed the house I specifically required that there were two separate wings, so you didn't have to bump into anyone on your way to the "Loo" in the middle of the night!
(Excuse Brit English!)

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.
