About this property
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.

Why they chose this property
This property checked every box for us. Sitting on 37 acres of total privacy and beauty of the high desert. We bought this property in order to create an elevated space of well being, a place for guests to come and relax, get away and just reconnect with themselves. We will eventually create a wellness retreat and hope that with the continued support of our guests, we will reach that dream.
What makes this property unique
Privacy, Gorgeous Views, Peace and Quiet, Starry nights
