Sheridan House Inn

Having worked in the corporate world in Denver, the Santys wanted something new. The Sheridan House fit the bill. “It just seemed a perfect fit to run a B&B and help people’s vacation dreams come true,” Debbie says. 

The inn offers eight room options. All of them have private bathrooms and are comfortably furnished with upscale amenities for two people. And several have porches or balconies that guests can use to enjoy the scenic and peaceful surroundings. “People need to escape from reality and reconnect,” Debbie says. “That’s what this place is all about.”

“The way we describe [glamping] is to think of all the comfortable elements you have at an upscale hotel, but within a 100-plus-acre location where you’re staying in a safari-inspired tent with high-quality linens and an en suite bathroom,” says Matt Gaghen, the CEO of Under Canvas.

The concept takes a love of the outdoors and makes it more accessible. Tents vary in size and amenities, but each comes with furniture, a wood-burning stove and housekeeping services.

The Tombstone Bordello

“Some people are very excited about the fact that it’s rumored to be haunted,” owner Susan Sinsley says. “Others have canceled their reservations as soon as they walk in the door. But that’s only happened once or twice.”

Paranormal activity has drawn plenty of guests to this bed and breakfast, but the ghosts are just one aspect of a visitor’s trip back in time, Sinsley says: “We want [guests] to feel like they’re immersed in the 1880s and know a little about what life was like back then.”

Ball-Paylore House

“When you walk in, you’re instantly transported into a completely different architectural environment,” says Demion Clinco, CEO of the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation, which acquired the house in 2019. “In some ways, it’s very modern and modest, and in others, it’s very beautiful and expressive. And it’s one of a kind.”
