Our Take: At a place where dogs receive in-room massages (we're talking more than just the ordinary belly rub), you know their owners will be equally pampered and doted upon. According to travelers, such is the case at San Ysidro Ranch. Several different levels of accommodations are available, the most prestigious being the Warner Cottage and JFK and Jackie's 1953 honeymoon digs, the Kennedy Cottage. And along with its intimate setting, the hotel hosts two restaurants, a fitness center, and in-room spa services. Recent visitors say this is the perfect place to celebrate a wedding anniversary. San Ysidro Ranch is in the Montecito foothills of California, a 15-minute drive from downtown Santa Barbara.
