Super clean and well organized! Plenty of space with nice seating options inside and outside. My plans were for hiking in Chiricahua National Moment so this location was perfect! I don't think you could actually get any closer unless camping in the park and this was so much more comfortable than camping! Thanks to everyone at the ranch.

This is our third stay. Wonderful family and perfect setting. They have thought of everything and it’s wonderful to just be able to walk out the door and hike in all directions. We were there during some amazing monsoons and loved it. You do need to remember to bring items for meals as it’s far from restaurants and groceries. Stopping for late lunch at Mi Casa in Benson is a perfect way to begin your stay. Did I mention you are almost at the entrance to the Chiricahuas? Amazing national monument.

Fabulous location - one mile from the entrance to Chiricahua National Monument. We hiked during the day and then returned to the relaxing cabin and a much needed shower. Late afternoons were spent on the porch taking in the fabulous views. So fortunate that Jim stopped by and shared with us the history of the homestead and surrounding area. Wonderful experience!

The studio is beautiful, two comfortable beds, fully equiped, the location is perfect to enjoy Chiricagua, only a few miles from the entrance of the park. We loved seeing so many birds around the cabin, it is a beutiful place surrended by nature but with everything you may need. I recommend it and I hope to go back soon!

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!

The property was exactly as described on the website. Very comfortable, sparkling clean, friendly host, minutes from the entrance to the Chiricahua National Monument.

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.

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.

The property is just 2 miles from the entrance to Chiricahua National Monument. It is about 30 miles from any restaurant, but we knew that and made sure to buy groceries on our way there. There is butter and eggs provided as well as some spices, olive oil and salt and pepper. A small kitchen but well stocked with pots and pans and dishes. It was very clean and cozy.
