Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Santa Cruz County

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.

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.

This home was perfect for our purposes. We stayed 3 nights culminating in Concert in Sahuarita. Easy to find, easy to enter. Views are unbelievable and the home was well planned and well appointed to take advantage of the 360 view. Perfect to relax. We took an afternoon drive to Bisbee and an evening dinner at El Vira’s in Tubac. The beds could use an update of mattresses. The shower drains needed to be thoroughly cleaned, but was negligible compared to the well-laid out home with genuine cultural art. Patios and views were again, stunning. We’d stay there again for at least a week.

Wow! We can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at the Valle Verde Ranch. We rented the entire property for our family and had the best time. The home is so beautiful, the grounds are enchanting, & the location is tranquil while still being close enough to be walking distance to Tubac’s shops. Douglas & Jerry were so easy to communicate with too. We were so pleased with everything about our stay here!

Stayed at this property for a wedding in Tubac and really enjoyed how close it was to the downtown area. The pool had a great view and the house is very clean.

La casa está nueva, en excelentes condiciones. Efraín siempre estuvo al pendiente en todo momento. Excelente anfitrión!

We absolutely loved staying at Allison’s place. Sitting out the back in complete silence watching the mountains was invigorating and refreshing. The house is positioned great, on sunset we didn’t know if it was better to be out the front or be out the back. Highly recommend this place and we enjoyed our stay in Arizona.

If you love being under the wide open skies surrounded by desert plants, animals AND birds… this is the place for you! We stayed for 2 nights and literally saw NO human beings (other than each other) the whole time we were there. The back patio has views in every direction of mountains, valleys as far as the eyes can see. When the wind picked up we relocated to the courtyard that was also charming. Best for us was the 15 min drive on a well maintained road to Lake Patagonia for kayaking, hiking… and birding. This was especially lovely during the spring. Back at the house we appreciated the well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and lots of easy chairs. Showers were fun and functional too. We’ll be back (especially now that we know how to find it!!) 🙏
