A half-century of hospitality, carried forward.
A nationally acclaimed little inn at the edge of the Ramsey Canyon Preserve — and the people who tend it.
A nationally acclaimed little inn
The inn began simply with rented rooms in the mid-1970s, and subsequently opened as a bed & breakfast in 1988. For roughly half a century since, it has offered comfort and hospitality in a world-class setting: a quiet inn tucked into the Huachuca Mountains, surrounded by The Nature Conservancy's Ramsey Canyon Preserve and Coronado National Forest. The Arizona Republic named it one of the "Top 10 Bed & Breakfasts in Arizona," and generations of birders, hikers, and nature lovers have made it the trip they never skip.
The inn grew up around what's just outside its doors. Ramsey Canyon is the hummingbird capital of the United States, with up to fourteen species at the feeders. Gould's turkeys and herds of Coues whitetail deer cross the courtyard daily; black bear, coatimundi, and ringtail pass through; and trails into the Preserve and the high Huachucas begin a few steps from the rooms. Along the way the inn became known for its easy, unhurried hospitality — the morning feeders, the shared guest kitchen, and a pace that lets you slow down.
A new chapter — 2026
In mid-2026, Ramsey Canyon Inn welcomed new owners, Brice and Christy Semmens. Lifelong birders and ecologists — and marine biologists by profession — they fell for the canyon the way most people do: through the dawn chorus, the trails, and the quiet. They're honoring the traditions that made the inn beloved, with a renewed focus on what brought everyone here in the first place: a birder's and nature-lover's paradise.
Your co-hosts
Ramsey Canyon Inn is family-run in the truest sense. Brice and Christy own and run the inn and its lodge rooms; they share the day-to-day with Brian and Lisa Logan, who live right here on the property and own the three suites — Tanager, Oriole, and Eagle's Nest. Whichever building you stay in, you're welcomed by hosts who genuinely love this canyon.
