Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Santa Cruz County

My 90 year old dad & I enjoyed a few days at this wonderful property. John is a super friendly and accomodating host. We enjoyed visits from John's dogs everyday. The back "yard" is many square miles of open range desert with views of Mt Wrightson & Mt Hopkins to the north. Cattle stopped by daily for a drink. Lots of interesting birds to see. Bird feeders and baths are set up. Birders: Just 15 minutes to Santa Gertrudis Lane, closer to a couple other access points to de Anza Trail. The Tubac de Anza trail access is 25 min. Canoa Ranch is 30 min, Patagonia 45 min & Madera Canyon is 50 min.. We sure wish we had more time there. I look forward to visiting again for longer.

Kestrel Cottage - beautiful, peaceful setting but still lots to do in the area. The cottage is roomy and comfortable for 4 people with a well-stocked kitchen. The outdoor porch is wonderful for taking in the view, watching the humming birds, reading, dozing off. We spent time at Patagonia Lake State Park - a short drive - hiking, birding, kayaking. We also drove into the town of Patagonia - gift shops with locally made items. We recommend Velvet Elvis for pizza and salad. Robin is proactive and very responsive. The fresh eggs from her neighbor were delicious! Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

The McFitz Ranch was a great location for our family vacation to southern Arizona! The home was well stocked, great location to the wineries and town, and was a comfortable place to enjoy time after a days adventure. Will book this spot again next time we are in town!

Todd was extremely responsive before, during and after our stay. His place was remote, private, clean, rustic, beautiful and serene. It was perfect to relax and unwind with the family during our Arizona getaway.

Staying at Alanna's felt like staying at the house of a friend who adores you - and has Martha Stewart-level hosting skills, someone who really has gone above and beyond. As to the basics: the home was clean, welcoming, and charming. The sheets were incredibly soft, the bed incredibly comfortable, the shower was spacious with good water, the kitchen had everything we needed. But what really set this apart from all other Airbnbs I have stayed at (and hotels and resorts, for that matter), were all the incredibly thoughtful touches--not just a dental kit (which was clutch due to a packing snafu), but also folded robes and chocolates on a tray on the bed, homemade body scrub (!), face masks, a fully stocked coffee setup with jazzy Nespresso machine, caramel and vanilla syrups, and a milk frother, and many thoughtful snacks and beverages. It truly was a delightful place to stay, and Alanna was very responsive for every request and patient with my fumbles about checkin details.

A very Special home in a very Special place. Nature and birds are everywhere. Anne is a very friendly host. We will return.

Was a perfect spot for the ranch wedding we were a part of. Relaxing farm stay and very clean with communicative hosts, would recommend!

Great quiet place. Was able to walk around in my home town. Loved watching all the baby Cardinals flying around in the yard, very peaceful

Located conveniently JUST outside the busy part of town on a dead-end street. Peaceful and quiet at night, except for the music from the locale bar on Saturday evening, but it's not very loud and they don't make it late. The little house has everything you need, including a really nice kitchen. Will happily stay here again!
