Cool Summer Savings: One of the most amazing things about Southeast Arizona is that our weather is NOT what you would expect it to be in the Summer. Most people think that Arizona must be miserably hot in the Summer, and that the southern end of the State must be even hotter. Wrong.

Our 4250' elevation affords us cool nights and nice breezes during the days - and we are about 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix (now THEY are HOT, and WE are NOT), and about 10 degrees cooler than Tucson. Our overnight lows are almost always in the 60s (or low 70s at least) and our daytime highs only reach the 100 on the hottest of days, mostly averaging in the mid 90s. So southern Arizona is often cooler than many parts of the US - and remember we have a dry heat with very low humidity. The net effect: Great comfortable weather - a refreshing change.

AND to celebrate our great weather we invite you to try us out and SAVE : From June 1 to July 20 save $20 per night off our regular rates! Once you experience the comfort of the Casa and the great weather we enjoy - we are sure you will come back often to "get out of the heat!"

The Birds Are Here!  (April 30, 2013)

Wow - what a GREAT Spring Migration. So many birds, so many types of birds - even a Lewis's Woodpecker staying around, Rose Breasted and Black-headed Grosbeaks, Swainson's and Gray Hawks, and Hummingbirds (Black-chinned, Magnificent, Costas, Calliope, Broad Billed, Broad Tailed, Rufous, Anna's and Violet Crowned), even some early baby Gambel's Quail chicks. And soooo many warblers! The early morning River Walks with the Southeast Arizona Bird Observatory have been a festival of colorful birds - with about a new bird per minute for the two hour walk. And Hummingbird banding on Fridays have been very productive - many birds and many helpers to view and participate in the events. Our Summer birds are arriving as well - so there are many colorful tanagers, orioles, thrashers. And the nighthawks are back along with the bats for evening entertainment as well. Great sunny weather (not too hot !) is also a blessing !

And don't forget to sign up for Monday and Thursday Mexican Dinners - just call us !   And sign up for the Southeast Arizona Bird Observatory River Walks that start at the Casa's back gate on Tuesday and Friday mornings - sign up at www.sabo.org - Casa guests get a $5 discount - just enter "bedandbirds" as your discount code when you register for your River Walk on the SABO website.

And SABO also is doing Hummingbird banding in our back yard every Friday afternoon through May (4-6 pm).
