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.

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.

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!

Stunning views, comfortable stay!
This property feels like it is perched at the ends of the earth, surrounded by mountain ranges, big open sky, and grassland. But it is just down the way from beautiful Patagonia Lake, hiking trails, and the charming town of Patagonia. Robin was extremely communicative every step of the way, and had great tips for the area. The house was very clean, super comfy, had lovely local touches, and smelled great! We all slept well, including our pup! Can't wait to see what they do with the property as they are working on turning it into a wellness retreat. We would highly recommend. Can't wait to return!

Easily to find and a great remote locale fun for dogs really decorated with detail to southwestern style. Healthy holistic additions to make us so comfy and relaxed loved the town of Patagonia lots if local artisans and organic foods and great trail mix, honey etc. The lake isn't far and had lots of remote areas we could easily access with our dogs who loved the water who knew?
