About this property

Patagonia Oaks is a beautiful home built on 11.5 acres in the oak woodlands of Flux Canyon. We are adjacent to the Coronado National Forest in Southeastern, Arizona.
Our home is fully furnished and has 2 large screened porches to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets over the surrounding mountains. Patagonia Oaks is a nature lovers' paradise. Over 80 species of birds have been observed from the comfort of our porches, including 8 species of hummingbirds and 6 species of woodpeckers. Feeders and seed are provided for the enjoyment of our guests.
We are located only 3.5 miles from Patagonia which provides an environment that is peaceful yet not too remote.We have large trees, a short hiking trail with beautiful views of the surrounding mountians and an absoultly incredible night sky. We are only minutes from town as well as Patagonia Lake State Park and also the Nature Conservancy's Sonoita Creek Preserve. We are just over an hours drive from Tucson and less than an hour from Tombstone, Karchner Caverns, several golf courses, shopping in Tubac. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, etc. there is something here for everybody, come, enjoy and RELAX!
Late summer and early fall is green and lush with an abundance of flowers, butterflies and an amazing number of hummingbirds. Come see SouthEast Arizona at the prettiest time of the year.
FYI In Jan 2019 I bought all new living room furniture, bought 2 new TV`s, replaced both porch doors and replaced the hot water heater. It did not occur to me at the time to take pics of the new stuff. I will add more pics when I get back down there.

relaxing house with lots of wildlife

This is a very comfortable house in a good location for people interested in seeing Arizona birds and exploring the area. It was outside of Patagonia and required driving several miles on unpaved roads, but we didn't mind. It was worth it to be in a quiet setting.The only things I'd like to see them change would be to make sure the smoke detectors are fixed and perhaps install grab bars in the main shower.

Patagonia Oaks

We enjoyed the privacy of this Nature Lover’s Paradise. Down a dirt road a bit, but an easy drive to Patagonia. The home had everything we needed. The screened porch was a great place to have coffee and watch birds. The home is as described by the host and he was very responsive when we had questions. We look forward to staying here again.

Lovely oasis

We spent a week at this place and loved it. We loved hanging out on the enclosed patio watching the large variety of birds come to the feeders, and were lucky enough to see a coati wander near the house once. The house was very comfortable, we stayed in late April with outside temps in the 80s, but the house stayed cool. We never even had to turn on the A/C. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, laundry worked well. The internet was slow (high latency) but worked well for streaming some shows at night. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in the area.

Nice getaway

It was a wonderful escape from Colorado's February weather. Lucked out and had warm weather for our stay and truly loved the home and all the bird feeders. There were many birds starting at our arrival and throughout stay. We enjoyed the small town of Patagonia and a trip to Patagonia Lake and to Tubac. Very restful.

If you hate birds, don't come here.

So relaxing. Totally furnished, comfortable. Enjoyed the rustic Flux Canyon Road to the cabin. Perfect base for exploring the area. A new adventure no matter which side road taken. Hope to return. Thanks Jim for being such a thoughtful host.

Tree-studded mountainside retreat

We stayed nearly 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute at the Nature Lovers’ Paradise home! Close to town yet secluded. Very comfortable, well-equipped home. Peace and quiet with beauty surrounding in the canyon. Spectacular screened porch room facing up the mountainside where we spent all our time watching birds in dappled light. Intending to return!

Quiet, not quite isolated but isolated enough!

Nice cabin in rural community with not many people around. Outfitted with all the essentials, this is a nicely appointed property with comfortable beds. If cellular service is important my T-Mobile signal was mostly non-existent, but my mother's AT&T service was stronger. Two thumbs up!

Birding

Very comfortable living area and a comfortable bed. The living room is nicely decorated and the kitchen has plenty of utensils. The house is pretty isolated, and requires two wet unbridged crossings of a creek. It’s only three miles from Patton house hummingbird center.

Secluded Bird Watching Haven

We spent 3 relaxing weeks watching birds, hiking, reading and relaxing. The property is as described and is in a relatively secluded spot which is what we were looking for. Nearby Nature Conservancy bird watching, hiking at Ramsey Canyon, wine tasting near Soniota. Close to Tubac, Nogales and Tucson if you need more social activities! The host was easily accessible by text and phone and was very responsive.

Great place, beautiful surroundings

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The house is very comfortable, clean and well appointed. The back screen porch was perfect for watching the birds, and for just hanging out. The surrounding area is gorgeous, with lots of oaks and mesquite and glimpses of the surrounding mountains. We will definitely be back.

Quiet, great location, great pre-arrival communication

As pictured/described in listing, with a lot of bird feeders and some weedy overgrowth (couldn't find trail). So quiet and dark outside at night. Access to property was over a bumpy road and very bumpy driveway. Super comfy bed and plush towels. Great pre-arrival communication regarding access, water, trash, etc. The house is a bit dated, but you're not here for the house. No internet, but I had a weak Verizon signal that was adequate. Great location for access to the touristy and/or remote spots in SE Arizona.

Hidden Gem

This house was the perfect base camp for a week of birding. It is clean and well equipped for cooking, There are plenty of linens and the beds are comfortable. But the best feature is the screen porch. Fill the bird feeders, sit back and enjoy the birds, coatimundi and Javalina’s.

Great Location for birding in the Patagonia area

We really enjoyed our stay near Patagonia. The cabin was very comfortable and located near enough to town to be convenient, but far enough away to be fairly secluded. Bird feeders (seed and nectar), a birdbath and water pan were available to attract birds and wildlife (javalina were daily visitors) so relaxing at "home" was as enjoyable as being out and about at area birding spots. We would be happy to stay there again the next time we go to that area.

Great property!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay here in mid-January. We got a lot of birds visiting the sunflower and hummingbird feeders and loved watching them from the porch. The property is close to town and a perfect location for exploring the surrounding area. It's very peaceful and we even heard an owl hooting one night. The San Rafael Valley at sunset was stunning. Jim is an excellent host - the house is very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to cook all your meals there if you are so inclined. We are hoping to visit again - perhaps during spring or fall migration. Thank you!

Patagonia Stay

We loved the town of Patagonia. The house is in a beautiful location and is the perfect home for a family of five. We explored during the day, cooked in evenings, and enjoyed the wildlife from the covered porch. Lots of quality family time without the distraction of the outside world. Jim was easy to work with and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Awesome house

We absolutely loved our stay here. The owner was so easy to work with. The house has everything you could possible want and the beds are very comfortable. It was so nice sitting on the porch each morning drinking coffee and watching the birds. We had Javelina in the backyard each night which was really fun. We also saw Montezuma Quail on the grounds.We look forward to staying there again.

For nature lovers

Set up well for nature lovers and fresh air. Good area for birds and critters and night skies. On a dirt road close to town yet feels remote. Road is good but don't count on arriving after dark. Stove microwave dishwasher, didn't find a toaster. Maybe there is one somewhere. Good dvd player and a few choice dvds. You might bring some if you're into movies. We hadn't seen The Big Year. Perfect film for the setting. House has DISH TV but we didn't enough interest to figure it out. If you know DISH, you may like that.
