My husband and I stayed 2 nights over St. Patrick's Day weekend.  I have to say, it was a really great experience.   The couple that owns the place is really kind and they treat you like family.  I found myself taking walks with their adorable husky, petting their cats, and giving their donkey treats.  Normally in a B&B I feel like I have to stick close to my room, but I felt totally comfortable making tea whenever I wanted to, walking around the property, or just admiring all of their antiques.  
If you go, I highly suggest the apple cider grits and gourmet egg cups for breakfast!

Like Staying With Family

Spirit Tree Inn is truly a special place. I stayed there to go birding in the Patagonia area. The historic value of the inn and the welcoming owners were an added plus that made the stay special. The owners prepared a breakfast specially prepared with fresh local ingredients. The home and ranch property was fascinating. The visit was well worth it.

Great birding and history.

This is a birders paradise. We saw many wonderful birds right on the patio outside the front door thanks to plentiful feeders and water. The Spirit Tree is truly magical. Tom cooks gourmet breakfast and the coffee and teas would please a connoisseur. Mary Jane is delightfully friendly to help the guests feel comfortable and at home. Getting to know the inn keepers  and the other guests is fun and interesting.

Birding paradise 

I feel compelled to post about the very magical homestead (BnB) my bestie found for our journey to Patagonia… because it was simply a magical place for us!

The Spirit Tree Inn is named after this amazing and World-famous cottonwood which stands over 100 ft tall and is over 200 years old! It has been measured and recorded by professional arborists and admired by all. Hence, it is the ”Spirit Tree!”  See the picture of said friend at the bottom of that massive tree! And when the wind roars through the top, it sounds like a freight train rolling through!

The property itself hosts many dwellings and was a working ranch at one time. The house is 132 years old. All of the antique furnishings and room amenities casts one’s mind back in time… just close your eyes…

Our hosts MaryJane and Tom were our sweet local guides. They made it feel as if we were walking in to ”home.” 

The front entrance to the Hispanic-influenced house had an array of feeders and landscape decor. There were chimineas and other Fire and Water features to attract both humans and birds! But be certain to close the gate lest the local javelinas should get in!

I still have not had time to go through my Nikon bird pictures of to give a count of how many species we saw on that porch… but many for certain. See video! 

There was a sweet burrow and some friendly kitties on the property, as well as some elf 🦉 pairs (sadly I could not find them, given our stay was only one night). 

Both my gal pal and I highly recommend this place should you ever travel to Patagonia… But be aware, only stay here if you are truly interested in endless “zen” moments outside the realm of technology (no room tv and limited WiFi). This is not the Hilton, it is an old ranch run by two older folks by themselves. You will find good old-fashioned hospitality, great food, strong coffee, birds and Nature, all in abundance! 

We shall see you again, Spirit Tree, real soon!

A magical, whimsical, natural and spiritual place for good birding!

Spirit Tree Inn was a home away from home! We stayed for three nights and each day unfolded memorably. We had a private quiet cottage which was well equipped. Mary Jane and Tom are the most wonderful and kind people to meet and share some time with. It happened to be Christmas and they generously invited us over for a meal, with lovely conversations and unforgettable Christmas food. In fact, Tom would take the pleasure in curating some new breakfast item for us everyday. Myself, my son and Mary Jane would spend lots of time chatting about the history of the area and meeting two new friends: Angel and Mischief!
We were touched by their kindness. On one occasion, they drove us to Paton Center for Hummingbirds and brought us back home. Thank you for making our stay in Patagonia so memorable we miss you!

A memorable visit.

My stay could not have been nicer. Mary Jane and Tom took care in addressing any need I had, and were a delight to talk to. The natural setting was also great, and it was fun yo take walks or sit on the porch with its active birds feeders. Breakfasts delicious.

Lovely inn and setting

This amazing Bed and Breakfast is situated on a historical ranch on 50 acres of prime bird habitat for the bird migrations. We went in May and saw so many types of birds. The owner, Tom, was on site making is own tasty breakfast concoctions. They were unique and flavorful. Probably the memory will last forever, they were that amazing! Thank you Tom! The property has rooms inside the main house and casitas behind. We stayed in the one bedroom casita with 2 beds and a kitchen. The kitchen had dishes and pans for cooking. The beds were very comfy. The rooms all have antiques handpicked by Tom who is also a collector. He showed us many of his antiques and shared their histories. The outside patio is gorgeous and done in rock. It overlooks the main lawn and giant tree which has many nesting birds. There are horses and donkeys and wild javelins on site. There is a beautiful old amish barn that Tom had brought from the east and assembled on the property. There is a creek that flows in rainy season and rock outcroppings.  Any outdoor lover would have a wonderful time here. Families would love it, bikers, hikers and history lovers too. The property is within easy driving distance of many bird sanctuaries, trails, caves and parks. It should be a bird sanctuary itself because of all the species and available food and habitat! The visit here far exceeded my expectations and I will be back many times to enjoy the hospitality and nature. It is a special place.

A special place

We’re always looking to explore Arizona! And my husband found a perfect spot for us to have some peace, quite time, spiritual, magical, and a little bit country! This bed and breakfast is awesome. The unique items are outside the Inn are very in-tune with my spiritual and magical love for crystals and Buddhism. 
The wind chime is beautiful and the sound when the wind blows is incredible. 
The breakfast was delicious and Mary is awesome! We helped her feed her horses and donkey, Angel. She made us feel right at home during the holidays. 
We will be back! How can you not, when you feel so comfortable and peaceful! 


Just us getaway 

My friend and I stayed 2 nights Aug 20 and 21, 2022.  Our Casita slept 5 and we each had our own room.  Our Casita is dog friendly!  RUSTIC CHARM and an outdoors persons haven.  Birders paradise and grounds for horse boarding.  Harshaw Creek must be crossed to reach Spirit Tree.  The Hosts Mary Jane and Tom will guide you if the Creek has water flowing.  Hosts were super accommodating!!  Touring the property and Historic Amish Barn.  Allowing us to have an Art class in the main house prior to guests checking in later in the day.   PERFECT SETTING!!  With the summer rains everything was GROWING!  Very difficult to keep up with outside yard maintenance.
Easy scenic drive to and from Patagonia..

Host Tom is an awesome CHEF serving a 5 star breakfast to accommodate their guests schedule every morning.  YUMMY!!!

Harshaw Creek Adventure

It's a wonderful scenic setting for this B and B.  Tom and Mary Jane were gracious hosts.
Tom's breakfasts were excellent and he was using natural ingredients.  The lodge is rustic, but the rooms were clean.  Some outdoor cleanup is needed, but otherwise, it was well worth the trip to stay there.
