Minerva's Rest is an old home, beautifully renovated to display the features of a classic Bisbee home with modern touches. The house is spotless! The kitchen is open and spacious with new appliances.
It's rare to find a house with minimal steps and easy parking, so I am able to take my 88-year-old mother to visit our hometown.
I've stayed there three times and plan my trips around the availability of this great house! Owners are very responsive!

The owners of this wonderful property went way beyond in thinking about what would make the stay even easier and pleasant for the vacationer. Every room had some extra special feature or treats to help you relax and enjoy. The thoughtfulness far exceeded any VRBO we have ever experienced. We would highly recommend Minerva's Rest. Jeanette

Stayed two nights for BRATS parade and this house was spectacular. The house was well equipped with everything you need and forgot to bring. Excellent all the way.

Cleanest and best appointed b&b ever. Thoughful and attentive hosts. Will definitely stay there again! 1000% recommended. Well done.
5.0
This is definitely one of our best VRBO stays. Dave and Eva go above the usual expectations.
PROS:
Communication was clear and timely but not intrusive.
Text to let us know the property was ready and we could check in at our convenience several hours before the scheduled time.
Check out time of 12pm AND no requirement to clean, strip beds, load dishwasher, or deal with towels. Just pack and leave!
.
Clawfoot tub and massage feature on the Tempurpedic bed made an aching back disappear quickly.
Only three steps to the front door. For Bisbee this alone makes the property worthwhile!
Covered off street parking.
Spa robes, slippers, and relaxing body wash for shower and bubble bath for tub.
Welcome book really does include everything you need or want to know.
Attention to detail and supplies was excellent - best equipped VRBO we've stayed in.
CONS:
Not a problem for us, but be aware that the master (back) bedroom has a skylight. It makes it wonderfully light, but that can impact sleep if you need darkness and want to sleep past sunrise. Solution: bring a sleep mask :-)
We really couldn't have found a better place to celebrate our anniversary and would book it again if we go back to Bisbee.
Put this one at the top of your list, you won't regret it.

It was our first time in Bisbee and the local hotel reviews weren't great, so I looked at this property. We're so glad we stayed here! The house is impeccably clean and beautiful. The fridge had a complimentary bottle of prosecco and oh for mimosas! The air worked great and it was a great stay! Very close to old Bisbee and the local tours we went on. The owners, Eva and Dave, who are so nice, have a great informational folder detailing what to do in the area, as well as details about the history of the house and the art inside the house. I also had a visit from what I can only explain as a possible spirit, which was at 1:30am. Nothing scary, but weird and cool. I can't recommend Minerva's Rest enough and we're already looking forward to staying there again.

Wonderful location in a beautifully renovated old house. Everything feels brand new, it is just a delightful place to stay. We even sat under the stars in the beautiful back yard with a log burning in the little burner.

If you are looking for cleanliness, classiness, thoughtfulness, relaxation, and overall perfection, look no further. This is THE BEST VRBO we have EVER stayed in, and we've stayed in our fair share. You will see the magic people can perform in the renovation of a historical home. They have created an upscale, updated home without losing the charm of an early 1900's home. Stay at Minerva's Rest!!! You will not regret it!!
5.0
Seriously... if you were to describe all of the fine details and extra steps Dave and Eva have taken to curate the guest experience, you would very quickly run out of room here. Read all of the reviews - actual experiences that were unique to the visitor and yet consistently wonderful!
If you are looking to spend some time in Bisbee and have 4 or fewer guest - STOP LOOKING!! You cannot do any better than Minerva's Rest.
Comfortable, well appointed, a few little suprise extras, relaxing deck that you can enjoy all hours of the day in sun or shade and at night by firelight... robes and slippers in the bedrooms, individual high-end climate control units in every room... see, every thing I think about mentioning brings three more to mind.
We enjoyed our first trip to Bisbee with walks, a mine tour, time at the farmer's market, wonderful coffee shops, micro-brewery, and multiple restaurants.
We had a great visit! And if we come back to Bisbee... the main draw for us (hands down) will be staying at Minerva's Rest!

So clean, well furnished and beautifully decorated! The hosts thought of everything concerning the comforts and amenities....Even FLOWERS - Who does that? They Do! Great communication with hosts and a wonderful stay. 5 stars are the highest - I would rate them 10 stars! If you have any complaints about this place that means you have not stayed here! Will return to this place!!

I could not recommend this home enough. Everything was five star! The pictures show only a small portion of the beauty and uniqueness of the home. I had barely mentioned to the unbelievably terrific owners that the rental was for my daughter’s birthday. When we walked in there were happy birthday balloons and flowers. We will be staying again!!!
5.0
This property was amazing at every detail. It was newly updated, amazingly clean, had lots of items available for use, a great outdoor space, and amazing hosts that communicated greatly. The location was perfect in Bisbee, places to eat within walking distance on the same road, but yet your own private parking and no long stair cases to the entrance. Could not be happier with our choice in places to stay and will be back.

The property is beautiful and so well appointed. We have all stayed at many VRBO properties and we all agree this has been the best.
Owners very respectful and responsive to us.
Beds are comfortable, patio is perfect.
Not far from downtown.
Would definitely stay there again.

From the moment we opened the door to Minerva’s Rest, we knew we were in a special place. The attention to detail and focus on comfort was superlative. The house is delightfully charming with so many touches of interior and exterior design that reflected the “vibe” of Bisbee beautifully. The hosts, Eva and Dave, could not have been more accommodating and gracious. They were always available and in touch to make sure we were comfortable. They go above and beyond with creature comforts: fully stocked coffee service, abundant towels, starter beverages in the refrigerator, luxury soaps in the bathroom, and so much more! From beginning to end, the process was impeccable due to Eva’s and Dave’s care. Choosing Minerva’s Rest for your vacation can only enhance your experience and we are already trying to work out our return.

This was our 4th stay at Minerva’s Rest. Of all our VRBO experiences, this property has been the best with the best owners hands down.
5.0
The property was beyond well appointed! Lovely furnishings, artwork, setting. The book detailing how everything worked and the history of the house was both helpful and fascinating! We enjoyed the kitchen, patio (listening to the birds was an unexpected treat) and the comfortable living and bedrooms. Have already recommended the home to others and hope to return soon.

You will not be disappointed picking this home.
Property was extremely clean and well stocked with everything you need. Eva and Dave are outstanding vacation home owners.
They have done a wonderful job renovating this historic home and even had a very interesting book that documented the history of the house.
My wife and I very are happy we chose to spend our anniversary weekend at Eva and Dave's property.

Minerva’s Rest is one of the top places I have stayed. It’s beautiful inside and out. What made it extra special was all small personal touches around the house and the excellent communication with the host!

Fantastic this will be the only place we stay when we come to Bisbee. The house is beautiful and the attention to detail was amazing as I said above. Eva and Dave thought of everything to make the stay perfect. My only regret is that we did not stay longer. The location is quiet and peaceful views are incredible. Centrally located and even off street covered parking, We will return as soon as possible and often. Simply the best VRBO stay we have ever had anywhere.

My family has stayed here multiple times. This is a lovely and comfortable home. It is always immaculate. The neighborhood is quiet. When we arrive the home is always welcoming. The hosts are very responsive and check in to make sure there are no issues. I noticed from the last visit they added a garden and everything was in bloom this time of year.

LOVELY COTTAGE STAY!
This home was immaculate!! A spot for everything and everything it it's spot. Hands down the most SQUARED AWAY home we have ever stayed in. The home is beautifully decorated with its cottage charm. The private back yard was lovely with 2 separate sitting areas! We cannot wait to return for another stay!

Planned a weekend in Bisbee with just the girls! We have known each other for over 25 years and had never ventured this far south.
Found this Gem in our search and went for it - the colors outside alone are so cute!
The owners are WONDERFUL! The communication with them before our stay, during and after is unmatched in any VRBO I have ever ventured to, my friends all agree!
The house is FANTASTIC to! Every detail has been checked in this Gem - from spices, pots and pans, shampoo/soap, wine fridge, patio hanging lights, patio chiminea to gas firepit. High quality linens, extra linens - EVERYTHING YOU NEED!!
You can show up with your clothes and be ALL set. The house has beautiful wood floors and easy flow of the house with tons of space. I just can't say enough good things about this house - We all can't wait to return with our families.
The location of the house is walking distance to town - we got our steps in and felt safe walking day/night.
The property also has a covered carport for your car and ample rooms for more cars.
Eva and Dave have gone the EXTRA mile for their guests anbd it shows. Thank you for a wonderful place to call home for the weekend - Looking forward to doing it again soon!

The hosts, Eva and Dave, were the true definition of “Super hosts”! The house was stunning, clean, charming and amenities were over the top. I can’t wait to come back. Lovely experience overall.

We had a wonderful stay in Bisbee. I loved reading the binder full of information about the town and sites, but especially loved reading about the remodel and history of the house. The pictures of the house in the listing do not do it justice. It is beautifully remodeled. The beds and furniture are incredibly comfortable. We will be back!

One of the best VRBO houses and experiences we've had!
From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with Minerva's Rest. The house itself has been renovated beautifully, while still maintaining it's early 1900's charm. In addition to keeping the house well stocked with necessities, Eva and Dave pay close attention to small details and provide thoughtful touches throughout. We especially loved looking through the binder detailing the renovation process and reading the numerous books about Bisbee's history. The walking distance to shops and restaurants was just right. Not too far, and not too close, and lots of interesting things to see along the way. We had a great weekend and plan on staying at Minerva's Rest again. Thank you, Eve and Dave!
