Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Santa Cruz County

Kelley’s home exceeded expectations. Kitchen was nicely equipped. Everything was spotless. Very convenient, the host called, checked on us and could not have been more helpful or nicer. We’ll stay here again and recommend it to others.

We loved Lori's place, we felt at home when we walked in. It is located on a remote ranch and she let us bring our own horses and dogs, so we had a blast riding . Beautiful remote country of Arivaca! You want to be sure and bring all your groceries, the road is about 40 minutes from town. The house to us was just amazing. It has two full bedroom suites, each with private bath and shower. The showers are constructed out of a very cool stone, you feel like you are in a little cave. The home is stucco and very cool in the heat. The rooms each have a door to the outside and a wood stove/fire place. We lit the wood stove in the kitchen in the mornings to take the chill off and by mid morning we were in T-shirts again. We also loved the patio and we cooked hamburgers outside on the grill. It's all stone mason work too. And finally, the night sky! Talk about huge! We loved our stay and Lori is an awesome host. The Tres Ballotes is a beautiful remote ranch.

This large, eclectic house was a fun place to hang out and relax. There isn’t much to do around there (which we knew) and that was perfect for us. We hung out and played pool and polar plunged in the pool and played games and listened to the birds and relaxed. The caretaker was helpful and available. The outdoor hot tub was turned on at our request but it did not get hot at all. It was kind of warm. It was also a surprise to be told we should not flush any toilet paper. Both toilets have bidets but that water is cold! These were fairly minor issues for us, though, and we enjoyed our stay.

Great space with lots of room for everyone. Kitchen arrangement was a little awkward and higher quality pots and knives would have been appreciated but as expected for an airBnB. Jill was always responsive and was very accommodating to special requests. A great stay and exactly as expected. Get up for sunrise coffee on the porch, you won’t regret it!

The host went above and beyond in making us feel welcome. The environment inside and outside was very relaxing and we especially enjoyed watching the variety of wildlife, large and small, from the many view facing windows. It was a treat to see such a variety of birds up close to the home and to have an opportunity to explore for others nearby. Also, the close proximity of excellent hiking trails added to the enjoyment of the location. We look forward to a return visit to this special place.

My husband and I and our 2 dogs stayed at Sue's home for 3 nights. It is a very cozy and comfortable home and very nicely decorated! The artwork was beautiful! The home was exactly as described and we all enjoyed our stay. The front and back courtyards were nice to have and you can alternate depending on time of day to either enjoy the sunshine or stay in the shade! The proximity to the Tabac Golf Resort is so nice! We walked our dogs each morning around the golf course and through the neighborhoods. The restaurant at the resort has great food and is also dog friendly on their outdoor patio! We would love to return and stay again in the future!

Lovely property and our stay was seamless. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of property with us!!

We had such an amazing stay! The house was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The views were breathtaking — waking up each morning to such beauty made it the perfect place to relax. We especially loved sipping our coffee on the patio while enjoying breakfast and taking peaceful walks around the area. The house is spacious with plenty of seating for everyone to gather and enjoy time together. The corn hole and shuffleboard were so much fun and added a little friendly competition to our trip. It truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you for making this getaway so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

Thanks for everything Emma!!! She has such a lovely place and very clean and clear with instructions to try to keep. It that way for others. We loved your food recommendations!!

What a perfect little place for a getaway. We visited a few wineries/breweries/distilleries and then came home to the Little Burro to taste our daily finds. It's close to good restaurants, some within walking distance. The Little Burro was clean, neat and had all the amenities anyone could need. We will be back!!! Thank you Sharon!

What a great getaway! The location is right in the heart of Tubac. We were able to walk everywhere and loved meandering throughout the community finding lots of fun shops and places to eat. We enjoyed numerous margaritas! Our fav was at Elvira’s! The house was extremely clean and comfortable! George texted us several times to make sure everything was okay and let us know that we could arrive earlier if we wanted to. There is a great A/C which we appreciated b/c it was hotter than usual. We enjoyed our morning coffee sitting outside on the patio. There were two coffee machines - a Keurig and my personal fav, a Nespresso! The beds were very comfortable and the towels, pillows and sheets were fresh and clean!! We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely return in the fall for some wine tasting! Thanks George!

It's a true gem. Quiet even though it is near I-19. This unit's layout makes it feel very roomy. Watch the stairs, though. Bring your dogs!

Emma is extremely well organized and her place is spotless. She is very nice person, and I enjoyed a lengthy conversation with Emma about her native Puerto Rico. I would definitely stay at her rental again.

This place ran with the local theme of birding. And that was nice since this felt like a cozy little human-sized bird house. Lovely place indeed. Only comments for improvements would be the ability to control the light strand on the patio and to get a drain plug for the tub, which would be useful for anyone traveling with kids. Still, wonderful place in a quiet spot in Patagonia.

Great place to stay with beautiful views very close to Tubac village and a wonderful pool and jacuzzi. Melinda is a great host and very easy to work with.
