Once the residence of Elijah Abernathy, Tombstone's first dry good's grocer, the home was remodeled and enlarged by several owners. Current owners/innkeepers Darren and Désirée Gregory have lovingly restored the original 10-room structure, while maintaining the original walls (nearly 1-1/2 feet thick!), hardwood floors, ceilings, rose-etched leaded glass windows, and hand-carved woodwork.

Brass, mahogany, and enameled iron beds, claw-foot tubs, pull-chain commodes, and other interesting period pieces collected by the Gregorys from around Cochise County re-create the ambiance of the Old West in every guest room. A patio acts as a central garden courtyard onto which the inn's three guest rooms open.

A stone's throw from the patio a huge cactus garden draws guests, as well as hundreds of birds and insects that feed on flower nectar. From the ramada's two wooden swings in the center of the cactus garden, guests can observe the wildlife and view the surrounding Dragoon and Huachuca Mountains, all the while enjoying late afternoon complementary wine, fruit juices, cheese, crackers, and fresh fruit.

The inn is open all year and is air conditioned. Handicap access to all guest areas. Guests are not permitted to smoke on the property. Children 10 years and older are preferred.
