About this property

Minerva's Rest is a beautiful house in Old Bisbee

Minerva's Rest is a beautiful, luxurious, 1910 era house in the unique town of Bisbee, Arizona! Plenty of room with 1100 square feet featuring two bedrooms, a complete kitchen, and one bathroom with 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 1910 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.

They thought of every detail!
It was like magic... David and Eva thought of every detail, every need or want you could possibly have... and provided it. They literally anticipated everything and anything that would make your stay better and already provided it for you. They put more thought into our needs than we ever experienced with a VRBO rental. Well done!!

Excellent - as usual!
Eva and Dave have created a truly wonderful retreat in downtown Bisbee, and their attention to detail and exceptional communication make for a delightful experience. From the seamless check-in/check-out process to the thoughtful amenities provided, it's evident that they go above and beyond to ensure their guests have a memorable stay. Their dedication to hospitality shines through, making them standout VRBO hosts. We have have stayed at Minerva’s Rest three times now, and will likely return. Obviously, we highly recommend this property!

Restful Stay
The property was well thought out in terms of amenities and comfort. The hosts were quick to respond regarding any questions and suggestions in what to do for the surrounding area. We felt the neighborhood was quiet and enjoyed the deck during the day and at night. We enjoyed reading about the house’s history and the amount of work and love put into restoring it. Glad we stayed!

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!
