3. Astronomer's Inn Add To myTucson Vacation Planner
Previously called "Skywatchers Inn" we are now under new ownership. Located near Benson, Arizona, we continue to be a cozy Bed & Breakfast offering our guests the unique opportunity for the observatory-quality stargazing of our beautiful southeastern Arizona skies and serve as a convenient hub for the numerous day trips to nearby ecotourist and historical sites.

Set atop a hill just outside of Benson, we are the home of the Vega-Bray Observatory where guests and other groups can participate in nightly astronomer-guided stargazing sessions using our large array of telescopes and giant binoculars. (Session fees discounted for bed & breakfast guests.)
