About this property
Minerva's Rest is a beautiful house in Old Bisbee
Minerva's Rest is a beautiful, luxurious, Victorian Era house in the unique town of Bisbee, Arizona. Built in 1905, the house features two bedrooms, a complete kitchen, one bathroom and a large open floor plan (and no cleaning fee). There are beautiful Brazilian Koa hardwood floors throughout the house, and each room has its own high efficiency wall mounted heating/cooling unit. The house is tastefully decorated with the work of our many local artists. Minerva's Rest also features beautiful outdoor spaces, off street covered parking, an EV charger, and none of Old Bisbee's famous stairs. A keyless entry lock allows guests a convenient self-check in. And, we offer discounts to active military, veterans, first responders, and law enforcement!
Relax in the large open living room with beautiful overhead chandeliers, an electric fireplace, and plenty of seating. A 50” TV with cable, DVD player, and Wi-Fi with internet access are all provided.
There are two large and comfortable bedrooms. The front bedroom exudes the home's original 1905 character with a beautiful tin ceiling, a large bay window, and restored period furnishings. French doors invite you to enjoy the large back bedroom with a Tempur-Pedic adjustable bed and a 32" TV with cable. There is plenty of light from three windows and a skylight, and beautiful custom crafted closet doors. And for those chilly nights, or when you’re just in the mood, both bedrooms have their own electric fireplace!
The large chef kitchen has everything you need for a leisurely breakfast or a full gourmet meal, and makes the home ideal for long term stays! All the appliances you need – oven, gas range top, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, coffee makers, blender, toaster, as well as dishware and utensils and more are provided. The dining room table can seat five. And, there is a complete and well stocked coffee bar with K-Cup maker, a drip coffee maker, and a French Press.
The spacious bathroom features a beautiful walk-in shower, a sky light, a separate make up vanity, and a custom one of a kind hand painted claw foot tub. A full set of towels and washcloths, as well as bath products are provided.
The front porch has a small table and chair set for you to watch Bisbee stroll by. For more seclusion the back yard offers a quiet grotto feel featuring a large deck, a flagstone patio, a gas grill, and complete outdoor seating. Enjoy the cool evenings on the flagstones around a firepit!
For those with an Electric Vehicle (EV), there is an EV Charger on site and available for your use. The charger is a Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger. It operates at 40 amps, and has a 24 foot long power cable with a J1772 plug.
It’s a short walk to High Desert Market, Screaming Banshee Pizza, Contessa's Cantina and the Copper Man statue, the start of the annual Bisbee 1000 Stair Climb. Walk a short bit further to more shops, eateries, galleries and pubs in Old Bisbee’s commercial district. Travel the area and enjoy the beautiful mountains and amazing climate at a mile-high elevation. Birding, hiking, and exploring all await you in the beautiful Sonoran high desert. Your hosts are your concierge!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Eva and Dave McElroy

Two retired U.S. Army officers who fell in love with the high desert of Southeast Arizona.
Why they chose this property
We were spending so much time in Bisbee we decided to buy a place! We found this house, built in 1910, and set to work making it what it is today. We love making old houses pretty again, and fully functional! We think we have one of the best houses in Old Bisbee.
What makes this property unique
Great family neighborhood and still close to all the action. Very walkable. We feel very comfortable in this home and spared no expense to make it that way!
