Modern Elgin Home: Walk to Wineries + Pets Welcome

StacieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

There is Wi-Fi, even though the description says there isn't (for those of you that this is important to). Peaceful, private, very clean casita close to 2 wineries. Easy drivable location not far off main road. Great fenced in yard if you are bringing a dog. We appreciated the easy check in, privacy, and parking at the door. Will definitely stay again!

Apartment in Sonoita

High Desert Wine Country

KrisanneRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We just left Sandy & Chip's property, and couldn't be more enthusiastic about our stay. They are incredibly friendly and responsive, and our time in Sonoita was perfect. The property itself is a bit like a very chic, incredibly well-appointed, treehouse. The private second-story deck (and entrance to the space) is adjacent to a luscious healthy tree that offers birdsong, shade, and respite. The exclusive-use deck provides views for miles, which can be enjoyed from delightfully plush outdoor chairs. The indoor space is cozy and well appointed, featuring a dream of a kitchen, fantastic shower, and, better still, everything was sparkling clean. Plus - dog love! They've friendly and warmhearted furry beasties that will offer you a hello and allow as much petting as you'd care to give. We wouldn't hesitate to return, and hope to do so soon. (Scent-sensitive guests may wish to note that a plug-in air freshener was in use and towels and linens were strongly perfumed [laundered/freshened].)

Cottage in Patagonia

Kestrel Cottage at Birdsong Retreat

MelissaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Kestrel Cottage - beautiful, peaceful setting but still lots to do in the area. The cottage is roomy and comfortable for 4 people with a well-stocked kitchen. The outdoor porch is wonderful for taking in the view, watching the humming birds, reading, dozing off. We spent time at Patagonia Lake State Park - a short drive - hiking, birding, kayaking. We also drove into the town of Patagonia - gift shops with locally made items. We recommend Velvet Elvis for pizza and salad. Robin is proactive and very responsive. The fresh eggs from her neighbor were delicious! Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Patagonia Lake Area | 3 BR | Mountains | Serenity

CarterRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The fact this was quite a renowned observatory shows - beautiful sunsets that turn into amazing nights under the stars. Bring firewood! There are about two or three steep hills on the way from I19, we had to reverse down one and take again with some momentum, but our crossover has very low horsepower. We should have come via Patagonia which is much easier. The right vehicle will do just fine even if coming from I19. I can’t say enough how much I love this place. The house and property are very well taken care of and we did our best to maintain that so that others know it’s a special place. Something about it felt like home and we truly hope to come back for years to come, it’s the perfect escape from reality. The views are a slice of heaven.

Coolest AirBnB in Tubac-Private Unique Free Charge

CarolynRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was our second year staying at George’s place - and we’re planning to return next year! We love the location and all of the interesting personal items George has throughout. The enclosed patio with a fountain is so pleasant and peaceful. George is easy to reach and interesting to talk with!

Newest! Private Tubac Hacienda

NanetteRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Terrific stay in roomy, lux accommodation. The suite is very pretty with original artwork, lux amenities, and lots of small touches to immediately make guests feel welcome and comfy. Centrally located within easy walking distance of lively restaurants, handicraft and art shops, the Arts Center, the Presidio, and the shaded Anza walking trail. Highly recommend Tubac, and this AirBnB. Host was easy to communicate with. We had a terrific 3 night stay in this area and really enjoyed all it has to offer to visitors. Wish we could have stayed a few more nights!

Cottage on Santa Rita | Sundrenched 2 bd/1 bth

MattRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Great location in Patagonia within walking distance to downtown and in a generally quiet neighborhood. The air-conditioning worked great and the house seemed very well insulated. The house is stocked for the most part with what guests need. There are also two groceries stores within walking distance for anything extra needed. Overall, the accommodations were great and I would stay here again.

Tiny House on Winery Row

JeffRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had an amazing time at the tiny house! We did bring our dog and Mike was very accommodating on numerous occasions with farm fresh eggs and answering miscellaneous questions that we had. The location is perfect for visiting nearby wineries and the views were wonderful. This is a great little space for a trip and we will definitely return.

Cottage in Arivaca

Cozy Cottage Getaway

BetsyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Had a wonderful stay - it was perfect for a cozy, quiet place to come back to after a day of clinic activities at a local ranch. Beautiful area and great for exploring. The place was a little difficult to find if you're using Google Maps and arriving late at night but I was able to figure out in a couple of minutes (the cabin is at the back of the RV resort). James was super responsive and great to work with.

Charming Home with Stunning views!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviews3 weeks ago

Andre's place was exactly as described clean, accommodating and peaceful. Fifteen minute drive to Tubac and 45 min from Sahuarita. This was my grandmother's last trip traveling and to see her excitement over hummingbirds and roadrunners was incredibly joyous. Kitchen had everything needed and you could never ask for better viewers to wake up too I would recommend this place to anyone! Thank you again for everything :)

Tubac private getaway!

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviews1 week ago

Staying at Alanna's felt like staying at the house of a friend who adores you - and has Martha Stewart-level hosting skills, someone who really has gone above and beyond. As to the basics: the home was clean, welcoming, and charming. The sheets were incredibly soft, the bed incredibly comfortable, the shower was spacious with good water, the kitchen had everything we needed. But what really set this apart from all other Airbnbs I have stayed at (and hotels and resorts, for that matter), were all the incredibly thoughtful touches--not just a dental kit (which was clutch due to a packing snafu), but also folded robes and chocolates on a tray on the bed, homemade body scrub (!), face masks, a fully stocked coffee setup with jazzy Nespresso machine, caramel and vanilla syrups, and a milk frother, and many thoughtful snacks and beverages. It truly was a delightful place to stay, and Alanna was very responsive for every request and patient with my fumbles about checkin details.

Rustic Cabin with Mountain Views Close to Wineries

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 78 reviews1 week ago

My bride and I just experienced three perfect nights at Janet & David's Rustic Cabin for a long 4-day weekend trip away. This was our 5th visit to Elgin and without a doubt, the most spectacular lodging we have found yet. The grounds are immaculate and the views of the Mustang Mountains are both stunning and mind-blowing. The "Bunkhouse" is so cozy; just as pictured and there's nothing better than sitting on the back porch enjoying coffee while taking in the serene vistas. Simply magical! The magic was enhanced by the sweetness of the resident twin cats, chickens and horses. Happiness abounds here. After some farm fresh eggs provided by the host, it was evident the Bunkhouse was the perfect home base for jogging out to the historic Babocomari creek bridge adjacent to Elgin Winery & Distillery. The grounds and outbuildings here including the Bunkhouse are reminiscent of a classic Gunsmoke-ish theme from the 1950's. We are already looking forward to our next stay with Janet & David.

Bird of Paradise Casa @ Secret Garden Inn

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviews1 month ago

This is the third time I have stayed in this house with four friends. We keep coming back because the house and location work so well for us on our annual retreat. You can walk to most everywhere in town, yet the house itself is very quiet with a nice back patio and a well equipped kitchen. Also very good hiking.

Serenity, Starlink and waking up with bird songs

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews2 months ago

The host went above and beyond in making us feel welcome. The environment inside and outside was very relaxing and we especially enjoyed watching the variety of wildlife, large and small, from the many view facing windows. It was a treat to see such a variety of birds up close to the home and to have an opportunity to explore for others nearby. Also, the close proximity of excellent hiking trails added to the enjoyment of the location. We look forward to a return visit to this special place.

Tubac Resort Home!

5 out of 5 average rating, 45 reviews1 week ago

My husband and I and our 2 dogs stayed at Sue's home for 3 nights. It is a very cozy and comfortable home and very nicely decorated! The artwork was beautiful! The home was exactly as described and we all enjoyed our stay. The front and back courtyards were nice to have and you can alternate depending on time of day to either enjoy the sunshine or stay in the shade! The proximity to the Tabac Golf Resort is so nice! We walked our dogs each morning around the golf course and through the neighborhoods. The restaurant at the resort has great food and is also dog friendly on their outdoor patio! We would love to return and stay again in the future!

Guesthouse in Rio Rico

Secluded guest house with outdoor fireplace

ScottRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My 90 year old dad & I enjoyed a few days at this wonderful property. John is a super friendly and accomodating host. We enjoyed visits from John's dogs everyday. The back "yard" is many square miles of open range desert with views of Mt Wrightson & Mt Hopkins to the north. Cattle stopped by daily for a drink. Lots of interesting birds to see. Bird feeders and baths are set up. Birders: Just 15 minutes to Santa Gertrudis Lane, closer to a couple other access points to de Anza Trail. The Tubac de Anza trail access is 25 min. Canoa Ranch is 30 min, Patagonia 45 min & Madera Canyon is 50 min.. We sure wish we had more time there. I look forward to visiting again for longer.

Cabin in Arivaca

Rustic Adobe Cabin in the Country

JesseRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

The Rustic Cabin was a magical stay. Beautiful property with a constant flow of backyard entertainment from the wildlife. There are walking trails on the property that are great for an evening stroll. Very quiet and peaceful. Highly, highly recommended for hikers, birders, and other nature lovers...but just know a weekend won't feel long enough to enjoy all the different outdoorsy opportunities in the area! The house itself had everything we needed and then some. Very thankful for the very well-outfitted kitchen--plenty of pots, pans, bowls, and Tupperware/storage. We were able to cook, bake, and grill. We loved eating breakfast in the cozy Arizona room. There were so many thoughtful touches around the house. Andrea is a fantastic host and we are happy we had the chance to chat with her and learn more about Arivaca. We especially appreciated her checking in and restocking the bird supplies so that we could enjoy all the avian visitors. Thank you!
