Bed and Breakfast:
Tombstone Bordello Bed and Breakfast

Lodging is limited in Tombstone, so you may want to consider this local B&B for its history (the proprietors state that the 1881 property was once a house of ill-fame  owned by Big Nose Kate), and, its proximity to the town’s highlights (a short walk away). In the warmer months, the pool and garden are particularly appealing.
