Kestrel Cottage at Birdsong Retreat

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.

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.
