Comfortable, Quiet, and Remote Studio On A Working Ranch In Southern Arizona

Enjoy a place away from the city while visiting the beautiful Chiricahua Mountains. This studio is on a working cattle ranch near the Chiricahua National Monument and Pinery Canyon of the Coronado National Forest both noted for their excellent birding, wildlife and hiking opportunities--a photographers paradise.

Relax with our majestic sunsets, dark nights and our peaceful, quiet country atmosphere from the comfort of our accommodations where day trips to Ft. Bowie National Monument, Bisbee, Douglas, Tombstone, Portal and Willcox are easily accessible. The Willcox area is also becoming a winery destination with 13 tasting rooms in the vicinity.

Available for your comfort: 2 queen beds, pull out couch, central air and heat, wifi, kitchenette. However, there is no TV and only emergency phone service available via the neighboring house. Cell phone service is very limited. We do not charge a cleaning fee or extra guest fee.

** This is a working ranch and the studio is connected to a shop area. We will do everything to keep our noise down during your stay.

Comfort Galore. And can we talk about those comfortable LL Bean sheets??

The property was exactly as described on the website. Very comfortable, sparkling clean, friendly host, minutes from the entrance to the Chiricahua National Monument. The linens on the beds were outstanding if you’re like clean crisp 100% cotton sheets. We would stay here again and we highly recommend!

Great vrbo close to Chiricahua National Monument

This is a wonderful place to stay. So private and perfectly outfitted for our two day stay. The hosts are friendly and have thought of everything! The proximity to Chiricahua NM made it easy to go for hikes and not have to drive farther than one mile to get there. We will be back.

Perfect Retreat

We loved our stay on this peaceful ranch. Great location away from everything, yet so close to Chiricahua NM and the Coronado NF. We really enjoyed all the birds around, especially all the owls at night. Jim's collection of relics and rocks were fantastic too. We enjoyed chatting with him. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!

Wonderful stay

It’s just 4 miles from the Chiricahua National Monument entrance, so idea if that’s your destination. It’s rustic but very spacious and comfortable, with full bathroom and shower, kitchen, couch & easy rocker chair and 2 queen size beds. Eggs and butter were in the fridge plus coffee, tea, condiments, etc. Jenna the host lives next door and married into the family that mostly found and pushed for the creation of the monument. You’re in an old working ranch with good birding and many interesting historical artifacts. Jenna was full of info and very helpful. Truly and unique and wonderful place to stay.

Chiricahua

Everything about this stay was wonderful. Location was just minutes from entrance to Chiricahua National Monument. The studio had two comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and plenty of windows to view the beautiful ranch setting and watch birds perching on the two bird feeders. Briefly spoke to the hosts and enjoyed learning about their history with the ranch and region. Would happily stay here again.

We loved it!!

We had a great two night stay - highly recommend!! The cabin was clean, well appointed and very comfortable with some wonderful personal touches like specialty local sundries and snacks. Also, the beds were super comfy with great sheets/bedding - even the fold out couch got high marks from my daughter who is usually picky about such things. Jim and Janna (the owners) were very friendly and helpful and we loved interacting with their friendly dogs and chickens as we came and went! Great proximity to Chiricahua National Monument - highly recommend the Echo Canyon Trail - such amazing rock formations!

Like coming home

We stayed at this location several times prior to Covid and the challenges to travel. the property, setting, the amenities and of course the owners are just charming and comfortable for us. We’ve enjoyed learning about the Ranch, chatting with them and helping with a few of the chores (!) If we are able, we would come in the future over and over again.

from the moment i drove in, the ranch felt like a well-loved home. it is totally as represented on the listing, and all communications and instructions were clear. i went looking for a week of quiet reflection and that is just what i found. it was a special bonus to be so near Chiricahua.

Superbe endroit très près de chiricahua national monument. Si vous aimez la nature, c est l endroit idéal . C est très calme. Tôt le matin, on entend le cri des coyotes. La nuit, on peut voir des milliers d étoiles. Nous avons vu beaucoup de biches le matin à l entrée du parc. En ce qui concerne l hébergement, très bon lits, très bons équipements, un joli porche où vous pouvez vous assoir . Très bon accueil. En conclusion, une superficie adresse.

Stay Here!

The guest suite at the Crossed J Ranch was the ideal place to stay for our Memorial Day weekend getaway to the Chiricahua National Monument and surrounding area. The studio was quite spacious and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The hosts were wonderful and had the place stocked with a dozen fresh eggs, butter, filtered water, condiments, spices, etc. Staying on a working ranch was a truly delightful and unique experience. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and seeing a bit of it in the "mini museum" right on the ranch. We also loved watching the birds, wild turkeys, and cows, and stars from the front porch of the guest house. Unless you are camping, you really can't stay any closer to Chiricahua NM as it's just a few minutes drive from the park entrance. If you want to get away from it all and don't mind packing meals for the duration of your stay, I highly recommend staying here. We certainly look forward to returning.

Wonderful solo trip to southeast Arizona

I planned a week's solo birding and hiking trip to the Chiricahua Mountains and surrounding area. The Riggs' cabin on the Twisted J Ranch was an absolutely perfect place to stay. The first morning when I opened the curtains, the porch was filled with birds swarming the many feeders the Janna kept filled every day. The cabin was spacious, comfortable, and perfectly equipped, even to the point of a dozen fresh free-range eggs in the refrigerator. The location was utterly quiet and peaceful, and the night skies were filled with stars. Janna, Jim, and Buffy were friendly and helpful, and the best hosts imaginable. I loved my whole experience.

A marvelous stay at the cattle ranch

My husband and I stayed in this charming, well outfitted cottage for three nights in April. Initially we found this VRBO to enable us to hike the Chiricahua Mountains- but we found ourselves loving this place beyond imagining. Anything you might need is here! We were even provided with a dozen eggs to complement our menu during our stay. The bed is exceedingly comfortable. The windows bring in plenty of sunshine. There is plenty to see on the premises; friendly cattle, history to peruse, and the owners couldn't be more hospitable. We found ourselves wishing we had booked for a longer stay. If we return to this region- we will definitely stay here!

Location and Setting A

Loved every moment of our stay on this ranch. Chiricahua National Monument is just a mile away. Cleanliness and comfort of the space couldn't have been better. Saw an impressive variety of birds from the front porch. We forgot a phone charger, and the owner provided one without delay. Thanks to the family for sharing their space.

The working ranch studio is just a unique and fun experience. They have done a great job making the studio into an enjoyable place to spend a few days. Putting bird seed into the feeders the day/night we arrived was pretty cool as we were able to enjoy lots of birds right out the front windows during our stay, Lots of stuff in the kitchen available for cooking including spices, oil, etc. Even foods left by previous occupants (e.g. oatmeal). Fun rocks, minerals, and artifacts on display.
