Had some trouble contacting the B&B as it changed hands but we managed to book the Galaxy Room and star-gazing for the evening on 25 May 2007. It is a lovely setting and I can't praise enough the teacher who came in and was showing us wonderful sights in the sky on the 12 inch telescope until 11pm all for $95 for the two of us. Excellent value. The B&B is in a very pretty setting and we ate our breakfast with a jack rabbit, a family of quails and a red feathered blackbird (or was it crow) just outside the window so close you could almost touch them! It is a wonderland for children and adults alike. Go there!

Yes, this is a great find! We also stayed just one night - and the stargazing was awesome. We lucked out and had very clear skies and had planned to be there during a new moon, which is optimal.
This property has recently changed owners, so I hope they maintain the telescopes as they should. There was a problem with one of the big scopes, but the staff accomodated us nicely and upgraded our astronomy session.

It was so nice to have a person so well versed in the night sky to answer our burning questions!! WE saw Saturn, galaxies, and more thru the 20" telescope - which I recommend booking.

And yes, visit Kartchner Caverns while you're in the area. Its also a huge treat! Make advance reservations there, too!

We stayed here on a Thursday night in cold December with 2 kids under age 4. It was a fantastic unique experience, well worth it. We were the only guests that night and were coddled with home made cookies, a yummy breakfast, and the kind attention of the B&B Keeper. The astronomy equipment is extensive and our astronomer was knowledgable. The discovery room at this place has enough books and objects of interest to keep kids and grown-ups busy for days, although sadly we only stayed one night. The ktchen is very well stocked and there were lots of nooks and crannies both inside and outside to explore. Nearby Kartchner Caverns is a worthwhile visit.

I stayed at the Skywatcher's Inn for two nights late Sep 2006. It is a fantasitc place with really friendly staff. You feel like you're at home. There's great facilities, including a big TV, wireless internet, the amazing 'learning room' and of course the telescopes of the obeservatory.

I stayed in the the studio, which is an internal room with a pull down bed. It was great for one person on a budget, but it could be fine for a couple. It contains a kitchen and tv and bathroom with shower.

I also did an astronomy class, it was quite simply amazing. I had never seen the highlights of the night sky through a good telescope. The astronomer - Waine - was very knowledgable and answerd all my questions and guided me around the Arizona night sky. The personal highlight for me was looking at the moon at a level of detail I had never seen before - breathtaking, but the sights of stars, galazies and nebulae through the scopes were great too. Can't be beaten!
