Enjoy Nature, History, Culture, Recreational Activities

.....or just some peace and quiet.

Built in 1890, the Olney House is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings as one of the finest examples of Western Colonial Revival architecture in the Southwest.

Safford sits at the approximate half-way point of the 100-mile stretch of the Old West Highway and the Olney House is an elegant and imposing home straight from the days of cattle rustling, prospecting, Indian raids, and massive Western expansion.

Whether you come to Southeastern Arizona to experience every recreational amenity the area can offer, hike the scenic trails, find magnificent birding and wildlife viewing, or just want to relax and get away from the “hubbub” of modern life, Sheriff Olney's historic home helps our guests experience the Old West in gentile fashion.

Many exciting changes are happening at the Olney House!

Along with new owners , John and Ruth Dannenbrink , comes a new look and a new name Cottage Bed and Breakfast. While still offering a unique lodging experience , we are taking reservations for our two private and cozy cottages.

Come to Safford and experience the calming peace of this beautiful home and the natural historical wealth of the area.
