Absolutely everything you need in the kitchen along with 3 or 4 types of coffee pot and a crest bag of coffee beans and hand made trail mix. Not only pet friendly but has an orthopedic bed for the dog and treats and toys. Surrounding the casita is nothing but beautiful views. Much more amenities.

Absolutely stunning, highly recommend

This place is amazing; we wished we had planned to stay more than one night! Everything is very thoughtfully designed and beautiful. Comfortable beds, very nice kitchen and dining space, amazing views from the house and covered patio. Kitchen is very well stocked with utensils and appliances. The grounds with gardens and hot tub and pool are incredible. Can’t say enough great things about this place. We absolutely loved it.

It's a "what are you waiting for" kind of place

We loved the quiet, the beautiful scenery and the Casitas were so dreamy! Loved the labyrinth and tranquility. Perfect I'm every way. Thank you again, Robin!

This was the highlight of our honeymoon. The jacuzzi under the most mesmerizing stars with gorgeous city lights in the distance is something I will never forget. So beyond romantic! I even had my husband take a picture of the outside shower because every little detail down to the ceiling string lights made the experience truly relaxing and special. The kestrel cottage has a fully stocked kitchen and felt spacious for the two of us! Definitely amazing value regardless what size group you book for. Robin was friendly, helpful and a lovely host. Very thankful we were able to experience this and cannot wait to come back to the Birdsong Retreat again, thank you!!

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.

Lovely stay at this amazing location. We storm watched and caught the sunrise. The home is very comfortable. The pool and hot plunge pool have the best view I have ever seen while swimming. Robin was an excellent host. She gave us the information we needed to access the house and amenities. She let us check in early. I will never forget this place and hope to return some day!

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.

Beautiful casita escape.

We really enjoyed our stay in Kestrel. Very clean, w/ beautiful Mountain views. Robin was easy to communicate with. The granola snack was delicious, we bought extra. The basket for the dog was so cute and included little snacks. I recommend staying at this property!

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.

Very nice getaway in the Patagonia hills.

Gorgeous views. Night sky was spectacular. Great for getting to bird-watching areas. Casita was very clean, adequately stocked, with comfortable beds. Good communication with owner. Would recommend for others.

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!
