Location is one of the biggest advantages of staying at Miners Cabins.

We’re located right on historic Allen Street, only about a 2–3 minute walk from the heart of Tombstone.

There is no need to repeatedly get back in your car or hunt for parking every time you want to return to town.

Walk into Tombstone.

Spend the day exploring.

Have dinner or a drink.

Then walk back to your cabin.

THINGS TO DO IN TOMBSTONE

Close Enough to Walk to Tombstone. Far Enough Away to Escape It.

One of the things guests often appreciate most about Miners Cabins is what happens when they return from historic Allen Street.

It gets quiet.

Miners Cabins isn’t one large hotel building filled with elevators, interior hallways and dozens—or hundreds—of rooms.

We have only six rooms divided among three separate cabin structures.

Each room has its own exterior entrance, and you share a wall with only one neighboring room.

There are:

No interior hotel hallways
No rooms above you
No elevators
No crowded hotel lobby
No front desk line

You simply walk straight to your cabin.

For couples spending a weekend in Tombstone, that extra privacy can make a big difference.

Private Balconies Facing the Arizona Sunset

Walk out the back of your cabin and Tombstone feels completely different.

Every room at Miners Cabins has its own private west-facing balcony with two chairs.

The balconies look toward the natural desert landscaping and western Arizona sky rather than toward the activity of downtown.

In the evening, sit outside and watch the sunset.

After dark, listen to the desert.

Look at the stars.

Enjoy the quiet.

One guest described it this way:

“Quiet, cosy cabins, dark place to see the stars. 1 block away from downtown Tombstone. Sit on your private deck and listen to the owls, crickets, frogs and the wind howling.”

That’s one of our favorite descriptions of Miners Cabins because it captures exactly what makes the location special.

You’re close enough to walk to the action.

But when you’re ready to escape it, you can.

Cleanliness Is One of the Things Our Guests Mention Most

A great location doesn’t matter very much if the room isn’t clean.

That’s why cleanliness is something we take extremely seriously at Miners Cabins.

Our housekeeper takes immense pride in the property, and quality-control procedures are used to help ensure every room is ready for the next guest.

More importantly, our guests notice.

Across hundreds of guest reviews, you’ll repeatedly see words like:

Clean. Spotless. Comfortable. Cozy.

We have received more than 700 positive guest reviews across travel and review platforms, and cleanliness continues to be one of the most common compliments.

One returning guest wrote:

“This is our third time staying. We book multiple rooms for our family stay because it’s a two minute walk to everything. The rooms are so cozy & quiet. Spotless & comfy beds. The owners are great. I highly recommend staying here if you’re driving to Tombstone & want to go out to dinner & stay the night.”

We especially like one part of that review:

“This is our third time staying.”

A great review from a first-time guest means a lot.

Someone choosing to return again and again means even more.

OUR GUEST REVIEWS

Rooms That Actually Feel Like Tombstone

There are plenty of hotel rooms where you could wake up, look around and have absolutely no idea what city you’re visiting.

Miners Cabins is different.

The original builders designed the property to pay tribute to Tombstone’s mining history, rather than focusing solely on the gunslingers and gunfights for which the town is famous.

You’ll see that influence throughout the cabins.

The goal was to create rooms that feel connected to Tombstone’s Old West history while still offering the modern comforts travelers expect today.

Custom Barrel Sinks

One of the first details guests notice in the bathrooms is the custom-made barrel sink.

Rather than installing an ordinary hotel vanity, the builders used barrels to help carry the mining-town and Old West character into the room.

They’re functional, unusual and one of those little details that guests tend to remember long after their trip.

Old-Fashioned High-Tank Pull-Chain Toilets

Even the toilets are part of the experience.

The bathrooms feature high-tank, pull-chain-style toilets reminiscent of plumbing from the late 1800s.

Historically, early toilets often placed the water tank high on the wall. The elevated tank allowed gravity to help provide the force needed to flush the toilet.

Eventually, plumbing design evolved and tanks moved much closer to the toilet bowl.

At Miners Cabins, the high-tank toilets provide a small connection to that earlier era without sacrificing modern functionality.

It’s an unusual detail—but that’s exactly why we like it.

Read Tombstone History From the Bathroom Walls

Another detail you may not expect to find in a hotel is on the bathroom walls.

The custom wallpaper features reproductions of actual historic Tombstone newspaper clippings.

They’re not simply generic Western decorations made to look old.

They’re reproductions of newspapers from Tombstone’s past.

Take a few minutes and you can actually read pieces of the town’s history right from your room.

We love that detail because it connects your stay to the place you’ve come to visit.

You can spend the day learning about Tombstone’s mines, characters, businesses and famous events—and then find pieces of that history waiting for you back at your cabin.

Old West Character With Modern Comfort

We’re happy to borrow the look of the 1880s.

We don’t need to borrow all of the inconveniences.

Miners Cabins combines Old West character with the modern amenities travelers expect.

Our six rooms include:

Three King Rooms

Three cabins feature one king bed.

Three Double Rooms

Three cabins feature two full-size beds.

All rooms also include modern heating and cooling, Wi-Fi, television, a private bathroom, private exterior entrance and private balcony.

Cabins 5 and 6 are pet friendly, making them a good option for guests traveling to Tombstone with a dog.

Reserved Parking Makes Arrival Simple

Every Miners Cabins room has its own designated parking space.

That may sound like a small detail, but travelers appreciate knowing exactly where they’re going to park.

Your space is clearly marked for your room.

If you arrive later in the evening, you don’t have to worry about whether the hotel parking lot has filled up or where you’ll leave your vehicle.

Your spot is there waiting for you.

No Hotel Lobby. No Front Desk Line. Go Straight to Your Room.

Miners Cabins isn’t a big chain hotel.

And we don’t try to be one.

There isn’t a giant lobby, a row of elevators or a front desk where you need to wait in line before beginning your trip.

Our check-in process is designed to be simple and touchless.

Once your room is ready, you can go directly to your cabin.

Park in your reserved space.

Walk to your room.

Unlock the door.

And start enjoying Tombstone.

For many travelers, that’s exactly what they want.

Miners Cabins Is Especially Great for Couples

Although we welcome many different types of guests, we think Miners Cabins is particularly well suited for couples spending a night or weekend in Tombstone.

During the day, you’re only a few minutes from all the activity.

Walk historic Allen Street.

Visit the O.K. Corral.

Tour the Bird Cage Theatre.

Browse the shops.

Stop for lunch at a saloon.

Explore the history.

Then come back to your cabin.

Kick off your boots.

Sit together on your private balcony.

Watch the Arizona sunset.

Enjoy the quiet.

Later, walk back into town for dinner—or stay right where you are and enjoy the desert evening.

It gives you two completely different Tombstone experiences without ever having to move your car.

So, Is Miners Cabins the Best Hotel in Tombstone?

We’re obviously going to let you decide that.

The best place to stay in Tombstone depends on what you’re looking for.

If you’re searching for a big resort with a swimming pool, huge lobby, elevators and hundreds of rooms, Miners Cabins probably isn’t what you have in mind.
