When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be.
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

Once they bloom the plant dies. 3 have bloomed, producing 40’ stalks.

Welcome to Our Earth-Building Artists' Retreat!
Imagine a creative escape that's just a stone's throw away from the stunning landscapes of Arizona's wild desert. Our homestead is nestled right next to hundreds of acres of breathtaking BLM land. Here, awe-inspiring hills tell tales of ancient coral reefs full of desert wildlife and amazing night sky.
History buffs rejoice, you're smack dab in the middle of the legendary mining towns of Tombstone, Bisbee, and Sierra Vista! Explore as you wish—be it the homestead's vibrant heart or the quirky charm of nearby towns.
Our magical retreat offers cozy camping spots with amenities like a shower house featuring on-demand hot water—perfect after a day of adventuring. You'll also have access to Wi-Fi and a composting commode. Need extra comforts? We also offer firewood and water-fill ups on a donation basis!
A Few Considerations Before Booking:
Getting Here: Your journey begins with a scenic drive, we live 5-10 minutes down a dirt road. It’s been graded in the last few months, so standard cars like a Civic or Prius will do just fine. That said, this route isn’t ideal for very low-clearance vehicles, those uneasy about dirt roads, or trailers/RVs over 30 ft.
Off-Grid Adventure: Since we're living that sustainable off-grid dream, we work with what we call a composting "outhouse" rather than a traditional septic system. If this rustic charm doesn’t sit well with you, we might not be the ideal fit.
Pet & Wildlife Lovers: We embrace friendly furry companions! Just bear in mind, the desert is home to critters galore—everything from coyotes to bobcats. Keep a watchful eye on your pets and please make sure you clean up after your pets.
Adult-Only Zone: We cater to an 18+ crowd—so it's a peaceful haven sans kids.
Eco-Friendly Practices: We encourage bringing biodegradable soaps to protect our trees and vegetation, we do provide biodegradable soaps if needed.

When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be.
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

The home was built by my parents in ‘82. My Mom was an avid hiker and outdoors person. She collected and planted agave pups in the yard and tended to them over the years. Because they’re watered and the pups are removed each spring they continue to grow to mammoth size.
Once they bloom the plant dies. 3 have bloomed, producing 40’ stalks.

Welcome to Our Earth-Building Artists' Retreat!
Imagine a creative escape that's just a stone's throw away from the stunning landscapes of Arizona's wild desert. Our homestead is nestled right next to hundreds of acres of breathtaking BLM land. Here, awe-inspiring hills tell tales of ancient coral reefs full of desert wildlife and amazing night sky.
History buffs rejoice, you're smack dab in the middle of the legendary mining towns of Tombstone, Bisbee, and Sierra Vista! Explore as you wish—be it the homestead's vibrant heart or the quirky charm of nearby towns.
Our magical retreat offers cozy camping spots with amenities like a shower house featuring on-demand hot water—perfect after a day of adventuring. You'll also have access to Wi-Fi and a composting commode. Need extra comforts? We also offer firewood and water-fill ups on a donation basis!
A Few Considerations Before Booking:
Getting Here: Your journey begins with a scenic drive, we live 5-10 minutes down a dirt road. It’s been graded in the last few months, so standard cars like a Civic or Prius will do just fine. That said, this route isn’t ideal for very low-clearance vehicles, those uneasy about dirt roads, or trailers/RVs over 30 ft.
Off-Grid Adventure: Since we're living that sustainable off-grid dream, we work with what we call a composting "outhouse" rather than a traditional septic system. If this rustic charm doesn’t sit well with you, we might not be the ideal fit.
Pet & Wildlife Lovers: We embrace friendly furry companions! Just bear in mind, the desert is home to critters galore—everything from coyotes to bobcats. Keep a watchful eye on your pets and please make sure you clean up after your pets.
Adult-Only Zone: We cater to an 18+ crowd—so it's a peaceful haven sans kids.
Eco-Friendly Practices: We encourage bringing biodegradable soaps to protect our trees and vegetation, we do provide biodegradable soaps if needed.

The Hummingbird Ranch is a magical place, a refuge, and delight. The artwork and colors alone are enough reason to come back.
The Shady Rest was a cozy place to pop up a tent. We loved the calmness and quiet combining the outdoors with nice amenties like a shower, bathroom, and kitchen appliances.

This place is nothing short of magical. The land itself is breathtakingly beautiful, quiet in a way that settles your nervous system, and expansive enough to make you feel small in the best, most grounding way. The hosts, Deacon and Debi, are equally wonderful. They were attentive without being intrusive, checking in on us periodically to make sure we were safe and comfortable. They and their adorable, energetic border collies became the highlight of those check-ins and we looked forward to their visits. After a few days, my 6 y.o. would excitedly jump up and down when he heard their UTV coming our way. It truly feels like a lovely family sharing their piece of paradise with you.
We stayed at both the glamping site and a traditional site, and also toured their cute, cozy, squeaky clean Airstream. The property itself offers incredible hiking opportunities, and if you’re adventurous, you may even stumble upon an old 1800s house hidden out on the land.
If you stay here, expect to leave a changed person in the best possible way. This place is tranquil, raw, and stunning. It’s the perfect environment to unplug, slow down, and reset. Truly a human factory data reset.
DO Check in with Deacon on arrival. UTV-led entry needed -Bring an air horn for mountain lions and rogue cows.
DO NOT Arrive after dark to set up or expect help setting up camp-bring equipment you know how to use.
This place is rare. Respect it, prepare for it, and let it work its quiet magic on you.

Extremely friendly folks! Very cool concept and layout. There is a company next-door that gets to work pretty early, but that didn’t bother me because I’m an early riser. I just noticed it when I was leaving to go on an early hike. Community areas were kept impeccable. I car camp so the space allocated was perfect for me. I only used location as a base for a national Park visit, so I can’t really speak to the surrounding area too much more. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Michaelette and her husband Owen are The Best Hosts! Communication before we arrived was excellent. Michaelette and Owen welcomed us when we arrived and helped us back in our travel trailer on a paved pad beside their home. Power, water, sewer and wifi are all included at a very reasonable price. Michaelette gave us a prepared handout with recommended restaurants and places to see in the area, which was very helpful. Thanks so much for having us!
We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this great location again if we return for a visit to Tucson.

The pictures are beautiful and eye-catching, but they barely scratch the surface of the alternate universe you step into when you arrive at El Pais Motel and Campground. From the moment we pulled in, it felt like we were part of something special.
The drive-in movie night with popcorn, the food truck and snacks, on-site laundry, and the welcoming community space all made the stay incredibly comfortable and memorable. Add in the creativity woven throughout the property, and it easily became one of our favorite stays to date.
Huge thanks to Jade and Karl for creating such a fun, thoughtful, and unique experience. We will absolutely be back!!
