Welcome to your ideal vacation rental sanctuary in Southern Arizona! Whisper's Ranch House offers five comfortable bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a large island kitchen, two spacious living rooms and three dining areas - over three floors. The main level is handicapped friendly, call for more information. Tucked amidst the beautiful rolling Canelo Hills of Coronado National Forest, we're between Sonoita and Parker Canyon Lake on Highway 83. We're also just 6 1/2 convenient miles from the West gate of Fort Huachuca, making Whisper's Sanctuary House the perfect location for families visiting their soldier, or individuals visiting the area to work or attend trainings on Post.
We are a convenient drive to Sonoita, Fort Huachuca, Parker Canyon Lake, Tucson, Tombstone, Bisbee, Kartchner Caverns, Patagonia, Nogales or Madera Canyon. An assortment of wineries, breweries and dining options are scattered around the region. Access to the Arizona Trail is just four miles away, but stress seems millions of miles away. Tour area wineries and bring a bottle of your favorite back for quiet relaxation by the electric-powered stone fireplace. Catch a stunning sunset from the concrete patio after a day of hiking or sightseeing, and after dinner, enjoy brilliant stargazing and the kind of quiet that makes for perfect rest with our premium king size memory foam beds.
Every stay helps to support neighboring Whisper's Sanctuary for rescued horses, donkeys, mules and goats. Arrange for a tour to meet the animals and get a feel for our mission.
We can accommodate up to 12-14 guests for your family vacation, social group or work retreat. Rent the entire house for the cost of a couple hotel rooms, and enjoy the spaciousness, privacy, warmth and amenities that hotels just can't provide.

5 out of 5 by Aaron on Expedia Posted Jan 3, 2020 Overall awesome place. Very far from the city, took a bit to get there, which means there was no cell service but we had access to a land line. The internet access was spotty at best but we survived. Overall it was an awesome experience.

This was such a pleasant surprise. Never stayed at a B&B before. I booked it and thought I would cancel but once we got there, Toni made us feel so welcome, we just ended up staying and having the best time. Everything was so awesome that we're gonna go back every month. Ok, if you're looking for someone negative, the Wifi is horrible but you're in the middle of the beautiful mountains. I got over it in about an hour.
Comment from Hotel Management Sep 23, 2019 by T Thank you so much for your stay and your kind words. We very much enjoyed hosting you both and we're glad to hear you had a good time. The wifi is variable, a lot depends upon the weather. There are useage limits too because we're rural. But for a relaxing place to stay we can't be beat. Hope to see you again soon! We'll take you on a tour of the sanctuary next time you visit. :)

We stayed in this beautiful home for a few weeks while in the area. The home was equipped with everything we needed. The house is in a rural area but still close enough to town. Toni was an amazing host and although we needed need her during our stay she was more than happy to assist with anything we needed to make our stay even better. We will definitely stay again.

Good
The property is pretty big and clean. Be sure to get all your groceries and board games in advance because the house is 20 min away from “town”. Toni was nice but not flexible with the check-out time.

Thanks so much for your stay, we are glad you enjoyed your time here. I understood from your messages that you had so much fun you wanted to remain an additional evening to host a dinner party, but did not want to have to pay for the extra night. You were welcome to stay the additional 10 hrs after check out time, the fee was only an extra $100 because it would have prevented another party from renting the home that evening. And it also would have prevented the cleaning crew from fulfilling their work contract (meaning they would have lost the income that day.) It may seem hard to understand, but every business has expenses. There are four horse-related board games, puzzles and two decks of cards that guests are welcome to enjoy. And the listing does indicate it's 17 miles from town which makes for even more peace and quiet! We did not charge you for damages - candle wax on the dresser top, closet door pushed off the tracks, and all the wine bottles we had to haul to the dump!
