Good Morning Yall! It’s been a beautiful summer season thus far in Patagonia. We’ve spoken with a few of our local birding guides in town & it sounds like there are two very special semi-tropical species residing in the area this season - Rose Throated Becerad & Thick Billed King. 😎

Both of our properties have been fully booked through the summer season & reservations are beginning to come in for the Fall & Winter time frames. 🗓️ ✏️

May is a special time of year in Patagonia. The weather is outstanding, with a mix of cool and warm temps throughout the day. Crowds decrease a bit, letting you explore the landscape by yourself & enjoy a cold beer quietly.

At 4,020 ft in elevation, our little Sky Islands escape is an incredible opportunity to hide out during the warmer months in Southern Arizona. See yall in Patagonia!

Outfitting & guiding of many kinds is an incredible part of Patagonia’s rural economic development each year. Hunting, cycling, birding, equestrian; there are a number of small and large organizations utilizing the direct public lands access Patagonia has to offer on a seasonal basis.

We’re grateful to work with a handful of these organizations, housing their guests as they enjoy the San Rafael Valley, Santa Rita Mountains, and Canelo Hills to name a few.

Let’s remind ourselves as visitors across this landscape that we must respect private land boundaries, follow leave no trace principles & local traffic rules, support local businesses when shopping & utilize local/regional government entity websites when needing detailed information regarding permits, approvals, or rules to abide by. These steps help ensure the future of a vibrant outdoor recreational tourism industry across Arizona’s Borderlands.

With the addition of 2 queen sofa beds, our Straw Bale House comfortably sleeps up to 6 people. These sofa beds are legit y’all, not those old weird ones filled with springs and bars right under your spine either. You’ll get a great nights sleep! 🛌

The Straw Bale has 1 King, 1 Queen & 2 Queen sofa beds. Sofa bed sheets and comforter are located inside the storage compartment under the coach seat.

Beautiful weather in Patagonia these days. Plan ahead for Easter weekend, Earth Day & Mother’s Day. ⚡️✨🌹

The Nook. We love this little space in the Straw Bale house. It’s an extra sleeping area with a queen sofa bed. A super comfortable lounge area with a smart tv, or an additional changing room if friends are visiting before a ride or outdoor activity.

March, April and May are incredible times of the year to visit Patagonia or just stay a while. Reservations at the link in our bio.
