Ghost City Inn
Bed and Breakfast

Old West meets New West at the Ghost City Inn Bed and Breakfast, a cozy Victorian in Jerome, Arizona. Founded in the late 1800's and once a booming mining town, Jerome became one of America's largest ghost towns in the 1950's when the last of the mines was shut down. The Ghost City Inn was built in 1898 as a boarding house for miners and has seen many uses since that time.

Victorian and Early American themed rooms add a special touch of history to the casual, comfortable rooms available at the Inn. How about a stay in the Northern Exposure Room, where you feel like you have made a trip to the Alaskan frontier, or the Western Room, which gives you the chance to experience the real "Arizona West." The Miner's Suite is the largest room, complete with a sitting area and faux fireplace. Tin ceilings, a beautiful stained glass window, faux wood burning fireplaces, and a brass bed can be found in the Cleopatra Hill Room with gracious furnishings in a spacious setting. All six rooms have attached private baths.

Early risers are invited to enjoy coffee and tea, available at 7:00 a.m., on the veranda. At 8:30, a sensational breakfast awaits in the dining room. Normally, breakfast starts off with a cold buffet of fruit salad, yogurt, assorted cereal, and some granola that is rumored to be the best ever. As for the main entree, although Jackie is continually experimenting with new recipes, some of the house specialties include Decadent French Toast, Southwest Strata, and Maple Sausage Strata. Chocolate chip cookies (a secret recipe) are served between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. during check-in.

Relax on spacious verandas and watch clouds roll off the red rocks as the sun chases shadows across the floor of Verde Valley.

From the front veranda you will witness the surrounding splendor of old Jerome and the breathtaking views of the terraced red rocks of Sedona. Stroll into town and wander through Jerome's many fine shops, boutiques, and restaurants. You can also browse the Inn's own gift shop.

Retreat to the courtyard and relax in the secret garden, or soak away your worries in the secluded outdoor hot tub. Jerome State Historical Park and Museum is near the inn for a delightful afternoon, as are historic buildings and the Mine Museum.

Explore, hike, or mountain bike the surrounding peaceful plains or in the nearby areas of Prescott, Sedona, and Oak Creek Canyon.
