to represent the storefronts and buildings of a western town. All rooms are within easy walking distance of the saloon, pool, hot tub and corral. Each room can sleep two to four guests.
Dining
We serve three delicious meals daily, all with a home-cooked, hearty western style. We make our selections from favorite family recipes, based on what’s in season, to ensure each meal is made with the freshest ingredients. Instead of à la carte dining you will enjoy our Chef’s Choice each evening. Breakfast and lunch offer a variety of options to suit all tastes. Be sure to share with us any special dietary needs or restrictions and we will accommodate them. Our Special Chuckwagon Breakfast will likely be the best breakfast you’ve ever tasted by a campfire.
History
German immigrants Herman and Mary Trappman founded the ranch in 1880, three years after silver was found in the area by Ed Schieffelin. Schieffelin narrowly escaped the Apaches by hiding in the rocks very near the entrance to the ranch and requested in his will to be buried there, under a Prospector’s Monument. The Schieffelin Monument can be seen from nearly any place on the ranch headquarters. The Trappmans began raising cattle on their ranch and became one of Tombstone’s earliest cattle ranches. In 2009 a man with a vision bought the ranch and found most of the original buildings had deteriorated to a point they could not be restored. Instead, he took them down and repurposed the materials to build an Old West town-inspired dude ranch on the same site that was so well chosen 140 years before.
