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 oneof 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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.
