As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
This time of year is perfect for heading south to enjoy Arizona’s warmer temperatures, especially as storms continue to blow through some parts of the country. If you’re hoping to stay in a place that’s unlike any other, you’re reading the right article! We’re taking a look at one place that combines quirky and vintage design for an experience that will feel like you traveled back in time.
Located in a quiet corner of Bisbee, this park features a handful of vintage trailers perfect for spending a restful night in this old mining town.
The Shady Dell is perfect for couples, people looking for an opportunity to enjoy all the quirks of Midcentury design, and those looking for something outside a standard motel room. You’ll definitely find that here!
Each trailer looks like a little piece of Americana inside and out. You’ll find pink flamingos, colorful lawn chairs, and even a little picket fence bordering trailers…
Vintage items like radios, books, magazines, LPs, bedding, and more fill each trailer to create an experience you won’t find in many other places.
The sleeping areas are compact but cozy. Each trailer features its own unique layout and, depending on which you book, may have just one full-sized bed, a couple of twin beds, or some combination of the two.
