The granite boulders in the Dragoon Mountains make great habitats for desert ferns. The Cochise Stronghold Campground is nestled under a grove of evergreen oaks.

I asked Nancy if, after a heavy rain, the stream was ever impassable. To get to the Stronghold, you have to travel about 20 minutes on a good dirt road which traverses the year-round stream several times. The B&B is situated at the base of the Stronghold, where the great Chiricahua Apache Chief Cochise found protection for his people from the U.S. Now, that's service.Ĭochise Stronghold is in the The Dragoon Mountains, which are quite picturesque and only about 2 hours southeast of Tucson. Nancy prepares special, very healthy breakfasts and has them delivered to your casita. Much of Nancy's business is hosting retreats and special events, such as weddings. She has a very specific clientele in mind and does not want people just driving around to bop in uninvited. Unless Nancy gives you VERY specific directions, you will never find it, which is actually her marketing strategy. If I am limited to just two words to describe her B&B, they would be serene and isolated.

She showed me around the property and her one unoccupied casita - very pleasant.

I had a pleasant conversation with the proprietor of the Cochise Stronghold Bed & Breakfast, Ms.
