Everyone told us that hummingbird numbers and species just weren't as good this year. Thank goodness we visited Mary Jo's B&B. There were lots of birds, including several we had not seen at other locations. Mary Joe graciously helped us identify birds that were new to us, including one that was not accurately described in the guide we were using.... More

This was our 3rd trip in June in recent years to Hereford for bird-watching and relaxation. It's cooler there than in the low Arizona deserts and watching the summer birds is enjoyable. We were well entertained in Mary Jo's yard by Gould's turkeys, broadbilled hummers, bridled titmice, blue grosbeaks, & other year-round residents. Additionally, we particularly enjoyed a pocket gopher... More

We stayed at Ash Canyon B&B in May 2012. We visited this place on a birding trip in 2011 and thought it would be a great place to come back to and just hang out. Mary Jo has this place setup for bird watching and it is delightful to just sit at any of the viewing areas and just watch... More

Her plants surrounding the Casita and house were lush and blooming and hummingbirds were everywhere. Mary Jo greeted us like we were old friends, with a smile,... More

First, we did not stay at Ash Canyon B&B simply because we were booked at another place. However, we did visit the property for bird viewing. Mary Jo came into the garden, welcomed us, and later joined us as a "naturalist". We would not have been able to identify some of the birds without her help. Thanks to her, we... More

Mary Jo's Ash Canyon B & B is arguably the best location for viewing unique species of hummingbirds right outside your room. The room is a modern straw bale casita which is very comfortable in a beautiful natural setting. Mary Jo is a welcoming innkeeper. The location is off the beaten path for tourists, but is a perfect location for... More
