The porch is a perfect place to enjoy the Bisbee, Arizona sun.

The French doors lead to a lovely, enclosed yard.

While you are traveling through Southeastern Arizona, looking for a comfortable, unique and dog friendly place to stay, please consider the Sleepy Dog Guest House. Artist owned, the one bedroom house is colorful and contemporary in a very Southwestern, artistic and quirky way.

The Sleepy Dog Guest House is a charming, cozy, reclaimed miner's cabin, perched high above Old Bisbee. The interior is a unique blend of original art, western kitsch collections, simplicity, luxury and quirkiness. Sitting on nearly an acre of land, it is delightfully private and refreshingly quiet. No one will be passing out ear plugs at our house, that's for sure! The stargazing is almost as good as the bird-watching and you can do both from our sweet rocking chair-filled porch. You will find charming, authentic Bisbee flavor at the Sleepy Dog, and the best part is that the entire house is yours to enjoy. No neighbors, no noise--privacy at its best. Kick back, relax and take a breather from reality for a bit.

We are a short down hill walk to the heart of Old Bisbee, where you will find superb dining, galleries and museums, interesting shops, antique dealers, jeep tours, historic taverns, wonderful architecture and live music on the weekends.
The southern exposure lights up the dining area.
The sunfilled dining area (winters are utterly glorious in Bisbee!) and our incredibly comfortable king sized bed.
Some of Old Bisbee's most stunning views are from the rocker-filled front porch of The Sleepy Dog. Of course those wonderful views mean stairs--another thing that Bisbee is famous for. So be prepared to climb 48 of them once you have parked your car. No matter, some guests have found the Guest House to be so comfortable in this delightful little slice of heaven they never leave the house during their stay.

 

From the porch you look down on Brewery Gulch, Old Bisbee and the historic Lavender Pit. Mexico is off in the near distance as well. The exterior is a collection of vintage advertising signs.

Our rates are $125 per night for one or two people. Included in your nightly rate are simple makings for breakfast in the morning--self catering--along with coffee and an assortment of teas. We do not have any minimum stay requirements except on holiday weekends. Halloween is the Big Holiday here!

Weekly and monthly rates available upon request.

Please call 520.432.3057 or 520.234.8166 or e-mail us.

 

The kitchy kitchen and the cozy living area.

Although we don't necessarily cater specifically to our traveling dog friends--you certainly don't need one to stay here--they are more than welcome. For our four legged tourist friends we have the following amenities to make their stay more comfortable. We also can provide you with a loaner dog or two--Rags or Noodle the Frisbee Wonder.

ENCLOSED YARD
LARGE FRISBEE LOT
DELUXE BEDDING
OFF LEASH TRAILS OUTSIDE DOOR
DESIGNER DOGGIE BOWLS
PRIVATE MINI HOUSES

If you are bringing your four leggeds with you, we ask that they be very well behaved, house broken, of good temperament, non barkers and cat friendly. We also kindly request that no one but humans are on any of the furniture.

 

The collections continue to grow.....

A collection of Western treasures greets you at the door.

Our clean, sunny guest house is 25 miles from Tombstone and eight miles from the quiet little border town of Naco Sonora, Mexico. We can point you in either direction for fabulous tacos, or other dining or cultural experiences. Hiking is great here, too. Bisbee has a network of trails running through the hills around town. Step out of the kitchen door and you are immediately hooked up to great hiking and off leash trails. The Sleepy Dog also has it's own private viewing point (bathrobes and pajamas are allowed!) which is a very short walk out of the back gate. With a small table and a couple of chairs it's the perfect place for coffee or cocktails--and Bisbee's most stunning view.

What our guests are saying:

"Thanks again for the wonderful visit to your world! How I wish I could stay in the creative world you live in! Your Sleepy Dog is by far the best cabin we have ever rented. We felt so at home there. The only problem is that we now miss it so much." Linda Brittain, Great Brittain Creative Puppetry, Phoenix

"The best place I have ever stayed (probably 500 motels and B and Bs in the last 15 years.) " Sandy Sorlien, photographer, Philadelphia
