Spirit Tree Inn B&B

Spirit Tree B & B is an outstanding and memorable lodging located in Patagonia, AZ, with easy access to the Nature Conservancy’s Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, Lake Patagonia, Karschner Caverns, the Santa Rita Mountains, Tubac, and local wineries. There are 4 rooms in the main lodge, but I stayed in a 1930-era adobe homestead that was private and quiet. The breakfasts are healthy and delicious. Mary Jane and Tom are excellent hosts. I met folks from Canada and Wales, so word is getting out about this gem.

Solo birding trip and needed Elf Owl so I stayed here and I was able to see one in the early evening shortly after sundown. I was a also able to see a Violet-crowned Hummingbird at the Paton Center earlier that day so this was a successful stop but this B&B was shocking in terms of the building my room was in. Very old and moldy smelling room with tea colored water (smelled like iron). The kitchen was packed with lots of half empty bottles of wine and spirits on the counter top. I wanted to use the microwave but the power was off so I pulled it out to find the cord only to find profuse amount of mouse poop behind it. Pretty disgusting. The breakfast was pitiful. What kind of breakfast without eggs??

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
