The rooms were each different and unique and only made us want to choose a different one on our return visit. You're greeted by cheerful informative hosts. The patio area was always busy with some type of bird coming through the area or multiple hummingbird. The common area was warm and inviting and the hidden tv was very nice to... More

My husband Frank and I just stayed at Down by the River and had the most wonderful time. Mike and Angie were perfect hosts. They fulfilled our every need and made us feel most welcome. They even left us an anniversary card, as we were there on our anniversary weekend. Each room at the B&B is like a museum. So... More

Laurie and Frank. Angie takes pride in her card making and if she knows far enough in advance that a special day will happen when we have a guest here she does make a card. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again. Mike and Angie More

My high school friend and I spent the first night of our Arizona road trip at Mike and Angie's place. It was an excellent place to recover from the plane trip and to be introduced to Arizona. The home is filled with southwestern items, but it is the setting that makes this place different. Off the beaten track to say... More

Angie and I know birders like to be out and about early. Being close to the San Pedro River makes that easy for birders that stay at our b and b. There are time like yours when you need to be on the road earlier and so we try to work on our guest schedule as much as possible. Hoe... More

We spent one night here and wished we had booked more. Mike and Angie are superb hosts; the breakfast was amazing and Mike's even shared his birthday cake and wine with us. It was a real joy! Down by the River is off the beaten track but well worth seeking out.

We pride ourselves in being off the beaten track. We really aren't actually but being in the setting where we live makes people feel that this little oasis is so secluded. We enjoyed talking with you and wish that we had more time to spend with you. Come back at anytime and we will treat you just as well if... More
