Stay Awhile...in a bed and breakfast, inn, or retreat center, and serendipitously sample local food, art galleries, shops, wineries, hiking trails, and surrounding ghost towns. Stay awhile and discover why Patagonia, Sonoita, and Elgin provide the perfect destination for a long weekend getaway or a leisurely day away from the city.

Not only do the interior rooms, lounges and hallways capture Sonoita's exciting history through photos, artifacts and artwork, but the very building itself is an historic tribute to the world's most celebrated thoroughbred, Secretariat. Built in 1980, the building was the fulfillment of Margaret Carmichael's dream, co-owner of Secretariat - the famed race horse who in 1973 won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont! Today, photographs of Secretariat, press clippings and racing programs are on display in the Sonoita Inn lobby.
Each room is named in honor of area ranches whose families have proudly operated their businesses here for centuries. Historic photos and biographical accounts of these local ranches adorn the hallways of the Sonoita Inn.
