Dragoon is rich in history and natural beauty. The name comes from the 3rd U.S. Calvary Dragoons who battled the Chiricahua Apaches here led by Chief Cochise during the Apache Wars. Nearby, you can visit the confederate graves and ruins of the Dragoon Springs Stage Station. About 20 minutes away is Cochise Stronghold, home and burial place of Chief Cochise and Chiricahua Nat'l Monument is about an hour away (great hiking and climbing!). Unique to this area are the amazing rock formations of pillars, balances, and stacked rocks caused by cooled volcanic granite 50 million years ago.  In addition, our area is home to hundreds of different bird species, the occasional Gila monster, coyotes, deer, and javalina.

What a cozy little place! Perfect for my quick overnight in the area. A note that it is not as remote as I thought - in a small rural ish neighborhood and Tracy is next door. So not for you if you want complete seclusion. But so comfortable and well stocked. Tracy even helped me my shipping some clothes I left behind!

Beautiful, homey stargazing. Sunrises and sunsets are unbelievable. Amazing stay that provides the best star gazing you could imagine. The grounds are beautiful and well-worth exploring. The indoor space offers a comfortable bed, great books, and a little kitchenette. It was perfect, cozy indoor space for two. Go for hikes in the Chiricahua National Monument! You won’t see anything like it! Harry and Barbara are the best! They are the kindest, most welcoming people in the world! They have great recommendations for sight seeing in the area as well! I hope we get to return soon!

This cabin and land was exactly as described in the app. It was cozy the heater work the air conditioner worked hot water for the shower and a small refrigerator with a very very tiny freezer hot plate in microwave. Everything you need! I do intend to go back if she'll have me!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sandhill Casita. The cozy quarters, the yard, the birds, and especially the host. We were made to feel very welcome here. If you love birding this place is a must. The yard is full of beautiful birds then it's only a 14 min drive to Whitewater Draw for even more variety of birds. I can't say enough good things about this place and the host. Hope we get the chance to visit this place again. Many blessings

Wonderful home, wonderful host! Make sure you're okay with an outdoor shower and bathroom (shower had great hot water and starry skies). Birds outside are a treat, and very comfortable inside even on warm days. We felt right at home

I loved the birds and tranquility of the place! The casita has everything you need for a short and/or minimalist stay and is quite comfortable. The outdoor toilet and shower added to the experience (just take note of booking in the winter). I would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous property with so many birds and a nice nature trail, also conveniently located for getting around the region and only 15 minutes from Whitewater Draw! The casita is very cute but I hadn't realized that both the toilet and shower are outdoors, so be prepared for that (and bring your own towel/shoes to walk back and forth).

Great compact cabin with wonderful views and attention to detail. Nicely equipped, nice finishing touches. Friendly and responsive host. Didn’t bother us, but part of the view to the mountains is a freight train line. Train traffic is audible, but even the one of our party who is usually noise sensitive was not bugged by it.

So much peace and beauty! We loved our stay here and cannot wait to come back. We came down for the Sandhill cranes but had so much fun birding on the trails around the ranch. We enjoyed the listening to a Great Horned Owl in the evenings and a sky full of stars. Definitely a perfect stay if you want to be closer to nature and have comfortable amenities.

Barbara and Harrys place is highly recommended. Its a unique experience on land clearly loved by the hosts. Thoughtfully and beautifully decorated in a simple way, this casita will make you haopy. And if you really want to get happy bicycle down to Whitewater to experience the life energy of 1000s of sandhill cranes. We need more places in the world like this one. Inanna and Gary

Tracy’s cabin was so cute and well equipped. Loved the grill just outside and the heated outdoor shower. Wish we had time to stay longer!
