One of our favorite things about vacation rentals is exploring all their differences from our own homes, and we especially love to stay in ones that are loaded with extras. From swimming pools to fireplaces, the luxurious extras add to the quality of our vacation, and when you begin to start planning your Sedona vacation spent in the comfort of our Sedona.Org Arizona sanctuaries, you may already be figuring out what amenities you want most. We love to help in any way we can, and we suggest that you start your list of wants that are truly needs with a fireplace. If you don’t see why you would want to book a Sedona fireplace rental, we have given you not just one, but five lovely reasons to top your list with a fireplace!
Reason #5: Adding Charm to the Space
When you walk into a well-appointed room, you may notice the comfy looking couch, the large and shiny television mounted to the wall, and in Sedona, of course your breath will be taken away by the views that can be seen through walls of windows in the space. But when you catch your first peek of the bricks climbing the wall, the mantel that crosses it at midpoint, and even the fire crackling merrily within, the fireplace will immediately charm you, garnering the type of reaction that you normally exude when you see kittens, puppies, or babies. “Oh, you have a fireplace” is the common first reaction, followed by closer looks, perhaps while holding your hands close to the flames, feeling warmed even when you weren’t feeling chilly in the first place. Large expanses of blank walls can be boring, but a fireplace will add excitement, and the family pictures you take posing in front of the fireplaces will offer more ways for people to be charmed by this extra special amenity.
Reason #4: And the Stockings Were Hung
A Christmas vacation in Sedona will be a magical one as you shop for gifts, drive through the neighborhoods voting on who has the best lights, watch Christmas movies while sipping hot cocoa (because it is always cocoa) and hang your children’s stockings from the mantel. Wait. You chose a home without a fireplace and you have young children? We can already hear the accusatory questions, “How is Santa going to put presents under our tree without a fireplace?” or “But mo-o-o-m! Where are you going to hang the stockings?” We can tell by the look on your face that you can hear it too and are relieved that you found this guide and narrowly averted danger! On Christmas Eve your children can gather round the chair you pulled close to the fire, their eyes shining and their cheeks flushed as you read about the night before Christmas, building their anticipation to feverish heights.
Reason #3: It Feels Like Home
Even if you don’t have a fire actively burning, the fireplace itself will make your vacation rental feel like home. The logs waiting to be lit, the fireplace tools resting on the hearth, even that cute little box of long fireplace matches; everything works together to create a homey vignette, one that makes you want to get the flames going. Couples will love the romance of it, sipping wine as the skies grow dark and (rarely) rain begins to fall on the landscape, adding a glass of wine and a charcuterie board to the scene, for a sweetly romantic indoor picnic. It’s the perfect opportunity for that special question to be asked and become a memory of the beginning of a long and beautiful life together.
Reason #2: Where Else Is Sweet Zoe Going to Lie?
Many of our Sedona.Org homes with fireplaces are also pet friendly, and if you are bringing your sweet fur child, she needs a warm spot to curl up next to, sleeping and dreaming about catching the rabbits she has never been able to catch. Cats aren’t the only animals drawn to warmth, and although there will be plenty of patches of sunlight in the daytime hours, once night falls in red rock country, the air chills. The fireplace stands as a symbol to family, providing warmth, light, and in front of the fireplace will be your pet’s favorite spot. We’ll even go a step further and say those quizzical looks she gives you when you arrive back home after this vacation of a lifetime will be her way of asking what gives, craving that warmth, that light, and the spot where her happiest dreams took place. On second thought, maybe you don’t want to rent a house with a fireplace, as your pups and kids may become accustomed to this fine amenity and start demanding to know why you don’t have one at home!
Reason #1: Yes, It Does Get Cold in Sedona
From Phoenix heading southward, the state of Arizona can be a fiery blaze of heat that could make anyone wonder why a fireplace is necessary, but in the northern portion of the state, winters can get cold. Low temperatures can fall low enough that a light dusting of snow may blanket the red rocks and upon occasion, it has been known to get slightly icy, especially in the shadowed parts of town. So whether you are hiking to the red rocks, shopping in all the specialty shops found throughout town, or are just sitting on the patio of your sanctuary, watching the sun set and feeling the temperatures drop as well, coming inside to a roaring fire will provide the ultimate in luxuries. Slipping out of your outside clothes and into your comfiest pajamas, fixing a cup of hot cocoa or pouring a glass of wine, and sinking into the plush depths of the sofa that is perched just across from the warm and welcoming glow of the flames will be the perfect ending to every perfect day in Sedona.
Not Just in the Living Room
Because we don’t believe in less is more, this bonus reason you should rent one of our homes with fireplaces should help to convince you of how right we are. Fireplaces aren’t reserved just for the living room, and although that is where they mostly appear, you may discover that the bedroom of the escape you chose offers its own, ensuring that you will awaken every morning feeling warm and toasty. Step outside onto the patio, furnished with comfortable outdoor furniture, a barbecue grill, and quite possibly an outdoor fireplace that will extend the time you get to hang out and play. If not a fireplace, there may be a firepit surrounded by chairs, offering warmth, serenity, and the opportunity to roast marshmallows for s’mores!
