Added 2004: Bat houses to house over 6000 bats (able to consume 7.2 million mosquitoes per hour!). We have had a few bats using the bat house so far, and hope that when then return in early 2006 to establish breeding roosts that they will bring a lot of their friends and relatives. More to come in 2006! For more information on insect control and establishing a bat colony contact Allan Daly at ipmstrategies@comcast.net.
Added in 2004: Butterfly Garden. Local native plant expert Cheri Melton designed a new butterfly garden that features over 100 native plants to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The garden will be in full bloom by mid-summer. Over 20 species were spotted on May 30, and 42 species in August 2004 and more in 2006! Both hummingbird and butterfly tours are currently being organized. Join us!
Added in 2004: Xeriscape landscaping - cacti and desert low water use plants. Southwest Native Habitat Design has renovated the entrance plantings and plantings on the south side of the building - stunning cacti and native plants are featured with a new rockery. The south side of the inn and the entryway are now also complete, adding many native plants and attracting both butterflies and hummingbirds. Plus the walkway bridges have been replaced and widened for easier access to the inn and trails.
Added in 2004: Tankless hot water heaters have replaced less efficient hot water tanks. Energy consumption and emissions from LP gas combustion have been significantly reduced without sacrificing guest comfort and convenience.
Added in 2006 & 2007: Updated bed linens in all rooms, and new plush towels plus new carpet and paint.
2005 & 2006: We renovated the courtyard gardens to provide better access to the fountain on a new gravel pathway and relocated many of the existing plants to provide more organization and eye appeal.
Added in 2005: A seven cycle labyrinth is now featured in our front gardens. The labyrinth is a meditative journey which centers your thoughts and relaxes you. It is sited amid the scenic mountain ranges and the treed river course that make our valley so spectacular. Each turn of the labyrinth provides you with incredible views of these stunning mountains and the magic setting which the Casa has claimed as its own.
Added in 2005: Real faux (I love that description!) electric fireplaces in most of our king rooms (where space permits). Enjoy a flickering hologram of a fire to relax in your room, or even click on the heat setting for added warmth around the "fire". Yet another romantic addition to your stay at the Casa.
Renovated in 2005: Our laundry room/guest services area has been remodeled adding larger washers and dryers. We now have three washers and four dryers for greater efficiency in servicing your rooms. More storage has also been added so that we can offer you more amenities and utensils for your own food preparation or BBQ.
2007 New exterior paint - a new color for the Casa is in progress. Gone is the blazing white exterior (akin to the side of a Safeway!), and replaced with a soothing earth tone brown (SideSaddle). The interior courtyard will remain a soft and relaxing white.
2007 New water softeners to cut down on the calcium and make your shower lather up more! We recommend RainSoft water softeners!
2007 Reshaped the pond - deepening and removing years of reed growth that had almost choked the pond. Gone is the small island. The birds, dragonflies, fish, frogs are happier!
Plus more!
The
inn is adjacent to the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area and is
situated on 10 acres bordering the San Pedro River. The broad grasslands in the
valley and the cottonwood and willow trees along the river provide a constant
supply of food, shelter and water for wildlife. This is a unique habitat
attracting over 335 species of birds, 82 species of mammals, and 47 species of
amphibians and reptiles. Over 100 species of resident and breeding birds and
another 200+ species of migrant and wintering birds occur in this area, which
represents roughly half of the regularly occurring species in North America.
Notable birds include 36 species of raptors such as the Gray Hawk and
Mississippi Kite. Other species are the Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet,
Green Kingfisher and Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Rounding out the list are 42 species
of sparrows and their allies, such as Botteri's Sparrow, Black-throated Sparrow
and the Pyrrhuloxia. Recent Sightings.
The San Pedro River is considered one of the largest and most critical avian migratory corridors remaining in the western United States. The San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area provides habitat for over 100 species of breeding birds, and provides water food and shelter for another 250 species of migratory and wintering birds. In addition, the river supports on of the largest cottonwood-willow forest canopies remaining in Arizona and is on e of the last free-flowing rivers in the Southwest. The river valley also hosts over 80 species of mammals, on of the highest concentrations in the western hemisphere.
Scenic mountain and riparian hiking and cycling trails are plentiful. In addition to enjoying the natural wonders of Southeastern Arizona you will also want to learn about its remarkable history. Relive history through the remains of old West ghost and mining towns. Learn about former area inhabitants and historical events such as the 11,000 year old Clovis culture, Coronado's search for the Seven Cities of Gold, the Apache Geronimo and the Gun Fight at the OK Corral. Past meets the present as well at Fort Huachuca in nearby Sierra Vista; founded in 1877 for the protection of local ranchers and miners, the Fort is the only active army post remaining in Arizona from the more than 70 that once existed.
