About the Business

The Russ House is a historic lodging institution located at 131 South 5th Street in Tombstone, Arizona, United States. Tombstone is a town known for its Wild West history, with legends like Wyatt Earp and “Doc” Holliday becoming household names after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral®. The town is internationally recognized for its storied past and continues to attract visitors from all over the world.

The Russ House was opened in December 1880 by Sal Anderson and Jacob Smith as a boarding house and hotel with one of the largest restaurants in Tombstone. It is closely associated with Nellie Cashman, known as the “Angel of Tombstone,” who operated it until 1886. Nellie, originally from County Cork, Ireland, immigrated to America during the Irish Potato Famine and played a significant role in feeding the hungry and needy in the silver camp.

Today, visitors to Tombstone can walk in the footsteps of Western legends, visit historical sites such as the Tombstone Courthouse and Bird Cage Theatre, and witness reenactments of famous events. The town takes pride in its Old West history and is known for its entertaining celebrations and visual displays that bring the past to life.

Nathan Naliborski:

"We stayed in the master suite and the red room. Very nice place, the fire pit in the patio was especially nice. Great location right in the heart of Tombstone, close to everything yet quite at night. The Russ House is a fantastic blend of history and comfort!"

"I've never stayed overnight in Tombstone. I took a chance and picked The Russ House. I can't tell you how lucky I was! The room was beautiful. The courtyard was so nice and cozy. We met the cleaning staff while we were coming back to our room. Super friendly and very hard working. I can't say enough about the room other than we will stay there again, no questions. The bonus, you get a delicious, hot breakfast every morning, across the street."

"We booked the King Suite on line based on customer reviews, and we were not disappointed. The room was huge, clean, and beautifully adorned with antique pieces. Most importantly, the bed was extremely comfortable. It was just a block from almost all the major sights, restaurants, and action. Will definitely book and recommend again."

"I have to say it’s the nicest, cleanest place to stay in Tombstone. It’s quiet, close to everything, and has a beautiful courtyard. You feel like your on set of an old western movie, only they haven’t forgotten one modern amenity. The lighting at night in the rooms is beautiful. Someone definitely took a lot of care to make it the most beautiful and comfortable rooms in town."
