This historic adobe inn, originally built as a boarding house for miners and nestled on the original main street of Patagonia, offers charm, quiet, privacy and delicious breakfasts. Relax and watch the world go by sitting on one of the front porch bancos or take a leisurely nap in the back patio hammock. The terraced back yard has two patios, several cozy seating areas, a fire pit for chilly evenings, and a pleasing array of flowering plants, cacti, butterflies, and birds, as well as a wonderful view of the Patagonia Mountains. A full breakfast is served in the dining room every morning. All accommodations are very private with individual, outside entrances and private baths.

Each of the three suites, with its own entrance, sitting room, bedroom, bath and a rear door that opens onto the back porch, is a cozy but spacious retreat for two and comfortable lodging for four. Each suite is colorfully painted and uniquely decorated with rustic Mexican furniture and folk art, hand stitched quilts, and cross stitch samplers.

The Rollin R. Richardson Suite, named after the man who founded Patagonia and built The Duquesne House, features hand carved wooden chairs from Mexico and a beautiful wrought iron bed. Colorful hand painted flowers frame the bedroom mirror and brightly painted chile peppers surround the front door.

The colorful and charming decor in Miss Medley's Suite was inspired by a trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The wood burning stove, claw foot tub, Guatemalan textiles, and Mexican bark paintings add a cozy charm to the desert pastels of the wall stenciling.

Marguerite's Suite features two antique needlepoint chairs and a wrought iron canopy bed, as well as an heirloom wall hanging appliquéd with pink roses. Look inside the antique Mexican trunk to discover the decals that tell the story of someone's many travels.

The studio apartment, El Cuarto Bonito, includes a kitchenette, T.V., and large, tiled walk-in shower. Walk under the rose covered trellis to its private front door and then relax with a book on its cozy enclosed back porch.

Please contact us for rates and availability as well as more information about these gracious accommodations. Rates are available for guests wishing to make their own arrangements for breakfast, and those staying one week or longer will enjoy their seventh night as the owners' guests.

The Duquesne House is available for small parties, receptions and gatherings. Wireless Internet access is available for guests who wish to bring their computers.
