An Elegant Step Back in Time
Keep that Tombstone dream feeling that you have found yourself in a time warp going by staying at the Tombstone Boarding House. Built in the 1880's, the rooms are exquisitely decorated in period style, each with a different color scheme.
Many rooms have clawfoot bathtubs, all have hardwood floors. To keep modern distractions from intruding on the 1880's feel, there are no telephones and no televisions in the rooms. Air conditioners and room heaters are available and adequate, so you will be reasonably comfortable; but the old original doors and windows are not airtight, so you can still get a feeling for what it must have been like to live back then. We've stayed in almost every room and they are all comfortable (especially the beds!).
The leisurely 3-course breakfasts are served in the adjacent Lamplighter Room restaurant at 8:30 a.m., with self-serve coffee and tea available in the lobby beginning around 7:30 or 7:45. Hearty breakfasts are cooked to order by the owner, Sylvia, who is pleasant, friendly company, as well as a very good and accommodating cook.
The B&B is located on 4th Street, just one block behind (north of) Schieffelin Hall. It's an easy two-block walk (up a slight incline) to historic Allen Street. Tombstone Boarding House has our very highest recommendation for those looking for an authentic, old-fashioned boarding house experience.
