    Down By The River Bed and Breakfast - St. David, Arizona

    At the end of the day, relax on the porch as the sun sets and watch the flocks of birds as they fly to their roosts for the night in the cottonwoods along the San Pedro River, while the background of Arizona hues in purple and pinks reflecting from Cochise's Stronghold grow stronger.

    Down By The River Bed and Breakfast, the lodging hub of Cochise County, is a 15 acre property that borders the San Pedro River and is within sight of the northern end of the world famous San Pedro National Riparian Area. The San Pedro, the last free flowing river in Arizona, is one of the best bird areas within the United States. The birding in the area is very good with the river within walking distance of the b and b.

    Great RoomThe Santa Fe style home offers views of mountains on all sides. To the east is Cochise's Stronghold, a part of the Dragoon Mountains where Cochise was buried. To the south are the Huachuca Mountains and the Tombstone Hills. To the west are the Whetstone Mountains, home of Kartchner Caverns State Park.

    The great room features American Indian artifacts for your viewing pleasure. You may want to sit and watch satellite TV or listen to music next to a crackling fire in one of the two fireplaces. You can play pool on the oversized table, read about the history of Arizona, or peruse the astronomy or birding books from the library that is available. You may want to sit on the porch and watch the sunsets with unfettered views, and at night use the inns Dobsonian telescope.

    In the morning, wake to fresh coffee and fruit smoothie followed by a full breakfast.
