Kestrel Cottage at Birdsong Retreat

ATTENTION SUMMER BOOKINGS:
Guest house only uses swamp cooler and wall unit in one bedroom. We provide fans. With monsoon rains, it’s too humid to use swamp cooler. Unit is priced to reflect the heat.
Escape to the serene high desert grasslands of Patagonia, AZ boasting breathtaking 360-degree views! Situated at 4,058 feet, we offer a refreshing respite from the heat of Tucson or Phoenix.

Nestled on 37 acres within BirdSong Retreat, the Kestrel Cottage is one of three guest houses inviting you to explore the untouched beauty of this remarkable area. Our aim is to provide you with an elevated vacation experience, offering luxurious and cozy accommodations designed with your holistic well-being in focus: mind, body, and spirit.

Experience the tranquil silence, broken only by the distant howls of coyotes and the soft chirping of crickets. Lose yourself in the vast night sky, adorned with countless stars. Observe the swift movements of roadrunners as they dart across the landscape. Wake up to stunning sunrises and end your day with timeless sunsets. This place never ceases to amaze me.

Breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere
We stayed at the Kestrel Casita for two nights and this place is amazing. We were in the area sightseeing Bisbee and Patagonia and were pleased with the cooler temperature (about 15 degrees) than what Phoenix was experiencing. The casita had everything we needed for both us humans and our doggo. The outdoor landscape created for a nice hike down to the labrynth, and we stargazed at night on the outdoor daybed. I would definitely like to stay here again if we're ever in the area again. Oh yeah, and the granola is wonderful and our doggo appreciated the toy! :-) Thanks for a great stay. It truly is an amazing place.

Extremely Beautiful
I can’t say enough about this property! It was very clean and decorated beautifully. Everything you could need down to an aromatherapy diffuser. We absolutely loved it here. Perfect property away from ANY noise or crowds to rest and recharge. While still conveniently located near Patagonia Lake and about 30 minutes away from wine country Sonoita, AZ. The casita is the perfect mix of HomeAway and comfort. We had a great time on the property. Loved seeing the hummingbirds in the morning, the lovely views of the hills, and mountains surrounding us. Very relaxing, clean, cozy casita with very friendly accommodating host. Highly recommended! We will be back.

Great Location with beautiful views
The place is in a lovely location with dark nights and very quiet. Really liked walking the dog on the dirt road in the mornings. Patagonia lake is close and has nice hiking trails. Stayed for a month and the time flew by. Went hiking or mountain biking or dirt biking almost every day. Had several friends stay with us while we were there and all of them enjoyed being there. Fantastic.

The Kestrel casita was a perfect get-away to celebrate, reconnect and rest.
A rare find in the Patagonia, Arizona, area. We enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxed weekend with our adult daughters to celebrate my 50th birthday. Robin went over the top with an unexpected special surprise, and the welcome from Miles and Macho (and Morgan) was a treat, as well. The casita was very well appointed, with all we needed for our home-away-from- home weekend retreat. Plenty to do and see in the area, but enjoyed our time gathering on the porch the most. We will definitely look for a reason to come back!

Stunning views, comfortable stay!
This property feels like it is perched at the ends of the earth, surrounded by mountain ranges, big open sky, and grassland. But it is just down the way from beautiful Patagonia Lake, hiking trails, and the charming town of Patagonia. Robin was extremely communicative every step of the way, and had great tips for the area. The house was very clean, super comfy, had lovely local touches, and smelled great! We all slept well, including our pup! Can't wait to see what they do with the property as they are working on turning it into a wellness retreat. We would highly recommend. Can't wait to return!

Easily to find and a great remote locale fun for dogs really decorated with detail to southwestern style. Healthy holistic additions to make us so comfy and relaxed loved the town of Patagonia lots if local artisans and organic foods and great trail mix, honey etc. The lake isn't far and had lots of remote areas we could easily access with our dogs who loved the water who knew?
