It was small but very comfortable, clean and quiet, with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and a TV with streaming services we could sign into. The host provided a couple bottles of water and some snacks, which was a nice touch, and had winery maps available if we needed them. There were also a couple of nice outdoor spaces for guests to hang out. They have a two-bedroom bunkhouse with a nice little front porch and seating, which I'd probably choose next time, especially for a longer stay. Would definitely stay again!

We were the only guest at the time and the quiet was wonderful. The space was clean; the bed was very comfortable; there was full bath and kitchen (fridge had trouble keeping things cold, never got above 45 degrees so take a good ice chest). The kitchen amenities were perfect for making breakfast and a couple of dinners during our 5 night stay. It was nice to have access to a TV but they do need to replace the swivel head which is broken and the TV is at a 45 degree downward angle. We propped it up with a roll of paper towels!! It worked. The outdoor space around the koi pond is so tranquil and pleasant that my husband and I hung out in our PJ and had coffee every morning. At night it was a great place to take in the stunning night skies. If you time it right you get ti watch Karen feed the giant koi Karen was very good at guiding us to the wineries and I can't thank her enough for recommending the Sonoita winery whose MeCaSah wine is truly an award winner. We also went the Vera Earl Beef which sell aged beef..so good. Also of note is the Copper Brothel Brewery where I had the best chicarrones ever and I don't want to leave out The Corner Scoop for the best breakfast burritos. All in all it was so enjoyable and hope to return.

I have been to Whisper's Ranch twice now and I just love it! It's so peaceful and pretty -- the…read morelandscape is not what you think of when you think Arizona. There are rolling grassy hills that are golden in the winter and green in the summer. A lot of people don't realize that the temperatures down here (due to the elevation) are much like northern Arizona in the winter -- so it's a great alternative to "going north" to cool off in the Summers. Temperatures rarely reach 100 on a Summer day and it cools to the 60s at night -- a luxury we don't get in the Valley! Our most recent visit (February 2012) was windy but gorgeous. No jackets required! Toni, proprietor, has started a gluten-free / allergy-free bakery and makes human AND dog treats! I can vouch for the human treats being delicious -- I especially liked the quinoa cookies. And, there's a lot to do in the area. No less than 11 winery tasting rooms are near by (there is a limo service you can hire if you can't agree on a designated driver). Or visit Parker Canyon Lake which you can walk (5 miles), fish or rent pedal boats or kayaks. Patagona Lake is larger and offers a lot of amenities and both offer camp sites. But, why camp when you can stay at Whisper's Ranch?! And, finally, Kartchner Caverns are a convenient stop on your way back to Phoenix but be sure to make a reservation! Southern Arizona, and particularly Whisper's Ranch, are great alternatives to heading north for a quick getaway!

The owner has many food allergies so she can prepare gluten-free and allergy-free foods for guests. The location feels remote, but it's less than 30 minutes from a large town (Sierra Vista) and 6 miles to a major Army base. We've stayed in many B & B's and this one is tops by far, and very far from "basic" accommodations. They do ask for advance reservations - the owner mentioned that her husband died suddenly, leaving her with many responsibilities, to include running 5 businesses with little help! We got a tour of the animal sanctuary next door, and we're so happy to patronize a business that supports such a worthwhile charity. The location is peaceful, near the vineyards, and surrounded by the National Forest. Hard to find accommodations like this for this price! Highly recommended for a peaceful get away. No tv's means you get to reconnect with your traveling companion!! It was wonderful!

Everything was perfect from the original communication to simple reservation process. The owner, Anna is simply a delight and very accommodating. The surrounding vistas were much better than anticipated with gorgeous hearty pines, mountains and grasslands that are reminiscent of Eastern WA and Eastern Oregon. We truly loved the property and its gorgeous location and decided to explore the wineries nearby. Rune Wines, also by the same owner treated us like royalty and again the vistas there were even more spectacular. How fun is it to enjoy a bottle of wine by outdoor fire pits; and they have many fire pits and expansive seating to accommodate everyone. We were humbled by the generosity and graciousness at both the Casita and the Runes winery. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts.

The B&B has several cabins as well as individual rooms in the 'main' building. We were on the 2nd floor. The bedroom and bathroom was comfortable and clean. The main guest spaces (communal) were cozy- a study/ curl up on the couch space to read or watch birds, a kitchen nook and a large main dining room area. A full kitchen and fridge is available for use. Breakfast items available for self preparation or granola bars and fruit and cheese for non- prep options. Pie, coffee, tea and juice were also available. Outdoors you have access to a private garden with chairs, decorative water features, and bird feeders, or a porch option with seating to observe the wildlife. A great getaway space to relax and take in nature ... and extra convenient being next to the Preserve. A few things to note: 1. The website boasts of a chef prepared breakfast in their video. That was discontinued a while ago and unfortunately not disclosed/ clarified (website does say continental breakfast... but the video is also up... mixed messages) at time of booking. While I would have like to have been pampered with a chef prepared breakfast... the alternative of having items available for your own fixings was also appreciated. (2) The pie mentioned in the video also not entirely accurate. There is pie for guests... but it's not homemade. Based on the pie boxes in the freezer it's pie from Walmart. Again, not an issue unless you are envisioning something different from their old reviews. (3) This property maybe for sale or in the process of new ownership.., can't confirm but I did see it listed online. Just hoping that new ownership continues to keep it as a b&b, does not increase rates significantly making it less affordable and continues to make it a haven for nature preservation and for people this.

Mary Jane and Tom are great hosts, who make you feel welcome and comfortable, like staying with family. Close to the charming little town of Patagonia, but far enough away to be completely quiet and peaceful, this is a great getaway for those who need to take a break from the stress of everyday life.

As you pull in, you are greeted by a friendly dog, 2 cats, and finally, humans. We stayed in the Equine room: everything was horse-themed, including the tiles in the bathroom and the headboard. Prints by deGrazia and Maderas, and others I didn't recognize. There was a fan set in the stomach of a metal horse sculpture! There was also a drawing of a cow.... The bathroom was tiny; this room is not recommended for larger than average people. The other bathrooms are apparently bigger. Off this room, a lovely little atrium. Bed was comfy, but a bit squeaky. Next time we will request the library room, which looks amazing. There's also a bunkhouse if you want to stick your whole family in one room. The owners invited us out for dinner our first night, and also to a pig roast the next day! Everyone was extremely friendly. The pig roast featured bluegrass musicians and also a vegetarian option. We spent most of our time wandering around Harshaw Creek, Patagonia Lake State Park, and Sonoita Creek Natural area. It's a beautiful part of the country. Personally, I like to choose my own breakfast and eat it with people I know, but if you're a fan of the B&B model, you can't go wrong here. Tom, the owner, goes out of his way to make the food fancy and ample. Lots of lively conversation. We were very sad to go home.

My experience at the Hidden Oasis was an extended stay, around 3 weeks and their casitas included everything I needed to feel at home, including wifi. I hope you have the pleasure of a wonderful meal prepared by Max and story time about Dragoon, the previous owners of the Hidden Oasis, Max and Chad's life and much more. The meditation labyrinth was a favorite spot of mine to enjoy a moment and take in the outstanding scenery of the surrounding mountains. To completely experience the Hidden Oasis I highly recommend enjoying some bourbon in the hot tub under the stars and watching the sunset by the fire pit. It's quite a show. If you need to stock your fridges and shop for essentials during your stay I recommend: Benson, AZ - 17 miles away (SafeWay/Walmart) Willcox, AZ - 25 miles away (SafeWay) Local Activities include hiking and exploring the wineries in Willcox. Pearce, AZ is a local ghost town with a couple of shops that is 20 minutes away. Whether it's for a night or a week I think you will love your stay at the Hidden Oasis.

You can venture out from your room to hike or simply enjoy one of the many patio areas to watch birds and squirrels. We stayed in "the nest" which was a smaller but beautiful room with a 4-post bed. The bed itself was quite comfortable though a bit squeaky. The room was clean, comfortable, roomy, and came with everything we needed to enjoy a quiet evening away from the kids. We brought food to make a gourmet campfire dinner and enjoyed the BBQ set up and fire pit. Breakfast was provided and while we did not care for the prepped quiche (tasted like a slice of pizza) we enjoyed the apple crisp and yoghurt parfait and the gesture alone! The grounds are well-kept and ideal for birders, nature lovers, and adults in general. While the close-knit atmosphere is not the place for a honeymoon or rekindling romance, it is perfect for a small relaxing getaway or the place to start your Big Year!

Apparently this is one of the first places the missionaries came to, and there's a very palpable special energy throughout the quarters.

Many of us here have slept better here than we have in recent memory. The views are special, and the pool and pool side grill are majestic.

From the moment you walk through the magical corridor, you are mesmerized by the original art on the walls (painted by the namesake of the Hacienda)...you know there is something alluringly unique about this place! Come to find out it is what compelled Nissa's Mom to buy this magical place! The main house is artistic, inviting and homey chic. Our room was tucked away just enough to still feel apart of this warm hug of a Casa. The huge windows showcase the ridiculously stunning view of their property and just stepping outside you are audience to a melodic concert of birds, cows, bees and other delights galore! Cocktail hour was just perfect, complete with homemade chips, fresh guacamole, yummy wine and engaging conversation. Nissa shared her families story with such love and detail, what a gift! Our breakfast of powdered sugar dusted, artistic fruit ladened Dutch pancakes with thick cut bacon the next morning was ridiculously scrumptious and lovingly made by Nissa, she is extremely multifaceted in her array of talents! As you explore the grounds you are greeted by sweet dogs, free roaming chickens and maybe even a precocious, engaging Princess of a young Lady named Rain! The sparkling pool calls to you, love the whimsical vintage tiles! You are just floating literally as well as from the intoxicating energy you feel as you meander under the "Fairy Pine", spreading her wings of needles with her cones the fairies live in that turn into rose cones that Nissa makes into art you see all around the Casa... it's undeniably ethereal stuff! To my delight, Nissa fit us in on a holiday weekend no less for a sunset horseback ride. Emmanual, the resident cowboy and Ranch guru, is an absolute gem of a human, brotherly vibe from the moment we met him. The ride around the property blew us away, from a mini cattle drive, weaving through trees and brush, then making our way up to a sweet vantage point to catch the sunset. Truly a way to feel even more connected to this Hacienda! The adventure continued with Emmanual the next day when we had a spontaneous roping lessons by the pool and a shared cookout where we were honored by the presence of Nissa, Jeff, Rain and even the pups joined! Flawless experience that I look forward to repeating and most definitely will be back!
