Reset while Watching the Sun Set

This was the perfect place to reset with friends over glasses of wine and great conversation. You couldn't ask for a better view: sunsets, mountain shadows, and then distant glittering lights in the evening. The house is so clean and tastefully put together, and we all enjoyed the many thoughtful touches throughout. All our needs were anticipated, so we could simply just relax and enjoy one another. Thank you, Robin, for being such a generous host--we look forward to coming back!

Zen Experience

Lovely setting with beautiful vistas and amenities. Did not use the pool or fire pit but both look nice. Spent quiet evenings in the hot tub star gazing. Although this property rents two other houses, it felt private. The surrounding area has wineries, art galleries (tubac), Patagonia State Park and Missions. You’re in the mountains so weather is cooler than Tucson. Everything you need is provided and more. Easy communication with owner who is on site. Would gladly stay again.

Paradise

The property was even better than the pictures if you can believe it. Some fun surprises that aren't listed were a record player and records, so many blankets, games. Everything was so thoughtfully appointed - stocked kitchen gadgets, utensils, and basic condiments. The Patagonia Market has some great grocery store staples if you don't want to drive too far for a grocery store. I'm just in love w Birdsong and I plan on returning over and over again.

Mountains and sparkles

The sound of the wind under a bird's wings. Azure sky. Lavender mountains. Starred night sky. Twinkling lights of distant city lights. That's outside. Inside is a cozy and welcoming home for the visitor. There are numerous details that makes the stay like a box of surprises waiting to be opened. These hosts have it all going on. If one is looking to recharge, reflect and dream this is the place.

Amazing Property

There is good, there is great and then their is absolutely AMAZING. Robin's place is perfect in every way. You walk through the door and leave all your cares behind. Everything you would ever want is right there waiting for you to enjoy and savor. The Sunset and Sunrises are the most beautiful in Arizona. You can walk out your door and hike for miles without ever seeing a Soul. I loved the place so much I booked it two more times this year. I have stayed in lots of beautiful places in this area but nothing compares to Birdsong AZ.

Maybe best VRBO ever

Nothing I write can do this place justice. While the views are indescribable, so is the house itself and its host, Robin. Every room in the home is set up for views. The outside sitting areas are set up for views. The location is ten minutes from all the nature and hiking of Patagonia State Park and a half-hour from the arts community of Tubac. Walking is great right outside your door, too. The home is first rate. The rooms are furnished beautifully and are extremely comfortable. The showers are what you would experience in a five-star hotel. All the accoutrements - from coffee mugs, to appliances, to plates and silverware are the best I have seen in a VRBO. Robin is a tremendous host who puts her heart, and definitely her soul, into making guests feel welcome. We can’t wait to return next year.

Restful hilltop retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Roadrunner house. House was fully stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and other food prep essentials. Patio is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air and peace and quiet of the desert. We even took advantage of the outdoor size Jenga game that was available and the yoga mats for a group morning stretch. The lake is super close and so we were able to run over for some paddleboarding activity. I was a little worried about only having one shower as there were 6 of us staying at the house. However, it was fine and we did not have any hot water issues. As noted, there are three rental units on this property. However, the roadrunner house is the most removed from the other units and so has plenty of privacy. That said, it is a little bit of a walk down the driveway to the hot tub and pool. We only used the hot tub, but it was well worth the stroll. We would definitely stay here again.

Einfach zum Wohlfühlen

Unser Aufenthalt in dem Ferienhaus war super angenehm. Alles vorhanden, was man benötigt, sehr sauber, tolle Raumaufteilung (etwas hellhörig, aber überhaupt nicht schlimm), Betten mega bequem, super nette Vermieter. Lage ist nicht ganz so besonders, aber auch das ist total ok, da man von dort aus super Ausflugsziele starten kann. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Bäcker, alles super erreichbar. Das Ferienhaus ist wunderschön und definitv zu empfehlen.

Peaceful Getaway

This was such a lovely property and was exactly what we were looking for in a spring break getaway. The house had all the amenities necessary for a great stay and the view is outstanding. The property is very close to Patagonia State Park which afforded great birding. We also visited the Sononita Preserve and were lucky enough to see a troop of Cotamundi! We hope to be back!
