Crickethead Inn Bed & Breakfast

I can't speak highly enough about the Crickethead Inn. The "low" reviews are clearly from people who didn't do their research and didn't know what they were getting into. I needed: remote, quiet, and simple. Crickethead was exactly what I needed. Mr. Lord and his wife were incredibly accommodating. The food was unique and tasty, and the atmosphere just the right amount of rustic and comfortable. I used the Crickethead as a base to go on day trips and get some work done on a dissertation. I think, given another week, I could have had most of the paper done! If you are in the Tucson area and need to get away from the world for a bit, you need to try the Crickethead Inn. You won't be disappointed.

Great bed and breakfast! Located immediately on the border of Saguaro National Park. The friendly hosts can impart a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna of the desert. From the veranda you can enjoy a beer and watch as various animals come to drink water at the pond at dusk. Just awesome! Nearby activities: Good entry point to explore the Saguaro Desert

Last week, we had an absolutely horrible experience at the Crickethead Inn and would never go back, even if we were allowed. My 77 year old wife suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and uses a concentrator for supplemental oxygen. Notwithstanding, we lead an active life and had booked and prepaid a 7 day stay as part of our 3 week plus road and sightseeing trip (including a four hour tour of the Queen Mary). We were fully aware of the rural nature of the Inn and comfortably situated ourselves when we arrived. However, the next morning at breakfast, Michael Blaine, one of the two owners, stated that their facility was not appropriate for my wife and that we had to immediately leave. He claimed that we should have known the inn was unsuitable, despite nothing in their literature to that effect. He claimed without proof it was an insurance issue and was totally unsympathetic to discussing anything. He gave us 90 minutes to pack and leave with nowhere to go. My wife was devastated and is still emotionally distraught about being evicted for no reason other than a cannula in her nose. We ultimately found other accommodations in the area, but at a far higher rate as it is spring break. The action of the owners was cruel, capricious and very likely illegal under both the ADA and the AzDA. We will be considering our legal options.
