It’s not even 7 a.m. in Tombstone… and apparently I’m already on someone else’s schedule. 🦌
Pulled up to the cabins this morning and got personally greeted by one of our local residents — a curious little deer, standing there like she’s been managing the property all along and I’m just late for my shift.
No fear. Just quiet observation. Ears forward, eyes soft, taking inventory of me like, “You again. Coffee first, then business.”
And here’s the part I love — this isn’t random. Deer don’t hang out where they don’t feel safe. Their nervous system is wired for survival, not sightseeing. If they’re grazing, lingering, getting curious… it means the environment is predictable, calm, and non-threatening.
That little park area? It’s not just for guests. It’s part of a shared space where wildlife feels regulated enough to stay.
Tombstone may be famous for gunfights… but these days, the only early morning standoff happening at our cabins involves a deer and a slightly under-caffeinated human.
And I’ll tell you what — she won. I backed up first.
Welcome to Katie’s Cozy Cabins, where even the wildlife checks in before sunrise. 🌵
