Poston House Inn Bed and Breakfast
I highly recommend this place to stay when you are in Tubac,
AZ. From the beginning, when we walk through
the rusty iron gate, down the outside passage to the lobby of the B&B, you
are greeted by the owner, Mary. She was
so warm and showed us all around the place before seeing us to our room. This sweet lady owns the Poston House Inn for
over two years along with her husband, Don.
The outside is wonderfully decorated with an eclectic mix of Spanish décor
and old/rustic antiques or well-worn wood doors. In the center of the place is a covered
courtyard with a bar for any guest to mix up a drink or two. Beyond a blue door is the pool and Jacuzzi. Someday the glass wall surrounding the pool
will be replaced with a fence and the door with a gate.
Our room had a sitting area with original bricks from when
the house was built, up one step to the two queen beds, a fireplace, and two
more chairs. The bathroom was a nice
size, clean and decorated with items from some of the local shops as are many
of the items around the grounds. We also
had a mini fridge, microwave, and a place to hang our clothes. It felt like home to us. Oh yeah, in the morning, we were treated to a
wonderful breakfast which is included in the price of your room.

In the mid 1850’s, and right after the Gadsden Purchase,
Charles Poston moved to Tubac. He
purchased the old presidio commandant house and surrounding houses even though they
were in poor condition. He was looking
for the ideal house for a financier to live in, and these houses were perfect. After living in the structures for about 4 years,
he left and relocated to Phoenix.
“Charles Debrille
Poston (April 20, 1825 – June 24, 1902) was an American explorer, prospector,
author, politician, and civil servant. He is referred to as the "Father of Arizona" due to
his efforts lobbying for creation of the territory. Poston was also Arizona
Territory's first Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives.” (From Wikipedia)
Oh, that looks wonderful!
