Ghost City B&B

Arizona


This 1885 timber boarding house, badly damaged after an illicit still on the 2nd floor exploded in the 1930s, is now a quirky and delightful B&B. Each room has a different theme, from the cowboy-inspired Western room to the Victorian-era Verde View (with killer views, naturally). A grinning skeleton greets guests from the front porch.
