We purchased our 20 acre homestead 16 years ago. The buildings were unlivable and land was overgrazed , but the windmill and sweet water well gave promise. We have been Restoring the land, allowing its native habitat to thrive. We now have a Year round vegetable garden, honeybees, orchard and grape vines. The adobe home and outbuildings and Sandhill (Crane) casita are restored with all recycle materials from the property. The 1.5 mile nature trail through grassland ,yucca and mesquite landscape provides solitude and 360 degree views of the sky islands in US and Mexico.

Sycamore Tent or Glamp Camp
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Harry and Barbara’s camp spot. We were able to camp under perfectly shaded sycamore trees, the bathroom and outdoor shower were in perfect condition. Harry and Barbara welcomed us, were there if we needed them, and were very fun the chat with. And last but certainly not least…the wildlife on their property was fantastic! Jack rabbits, quails, red and gold birds, and so much more. Highly recommend this site if you ever want to camp near the Chiricahuas!

30+ bird species outside our door
My partner and I quickly fell in love with this beautiful property and comfortable casita. If you love nature, especially birds, this is the place to stay. We saw 30 bird species at the well-stocked feeding/watering stations the hosts provide, and we enjoyed sunset/sunrise strolls along the on-site nature trails. The lodging was comfortable and well-appointed -- it felt like luxury after our prior nights camping. The outdoor shower was hot. The composting toilet was very clean and odor free. We enjoyed meeting the wonderful, generous hosts who restored the property to its current natural state. Well done! We regret having to move on so soon and look forward to returning.

Artful farmscape teeming with birds
This is a gem of a spot. Off the tourist trail, this casita is testament to a simple lifestyle curated with a true eye for offering guests an authentic and organic experience. I wish we had more time to just soak it all in. In our short visit on an uncustomary windy rainy day, we still spotted nearly 2 dozen bird species.

Stay here!!
What a lovely camp! We stayed in the Casita. Horses and bees on-site. Nice 1.5 mile trail to follow. Saw rabbits and sooo many birds. Kitchen was more than anticipated! Dishes, utensils, hot water heater, pots/pan with lids. Little heater under the sink was a champ! Really warmed the room. Appreciated the deck of cards and books available. And loved the candles and fresh flowers! Gotta love Spring! Very special place and I’m grateful that Harry and Barbara are willing to share! Hope to visit again!

Harry & Barbara's place was lovely! The bed was very comfortable and they had a heater running when we arrived and stayed plenty comfortable all night! We got to heard coyotes howling at night and we walked on their trails to watch the sunrise in the morning. We also enjoyed watching all the birds and rabbits! I wish we could have stayed longer - beautiful place! Highly recommend!

Great place, great location near hiking (Chiricachua), Bisbee, White water draw, Tombstone... Fun birding right outside the windows with friendly welcoming hosts. We would stay there again!
