The property was great! The house was fully stocked with everything we could need except of course perishable food. We really tried hard to think of something we would need but couldn’t think of anything. “Hats off” to the owner of this property.

We adored our stay here in this little gem of a cottage set right in the redwoods. The place was stocked with all we needed and the attention to detail in all areas was very much appreciated. The back courtyard with firepit and bbq were wonderful as well. The quiet mornings on the porch were just what my soul needed. A mama and 2 baby deer joined us one morning and made it even more peaceful and special. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much to the owners for making our stay wonderful.

We loved this property. We have stayed in hundreds of vrbos and this is one of our favorites. It is beautiful, comfortable and one of the best well stocked places we have stayed. It is peaceful and quiet yet close to so many things to do. We will definitely come back!

Stayed for 5 nights while in town for a wedding. Cottage was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Would 10/10 stay again when I visit the area.

The weather during our stay was in the high 80's low 90's and the home had no AC. It would have been fine if a fan had been available.
The bed in the only bedroom was very uncomfortable, the bed pillows were very uncomfortable also. Other than these 2 issues the home was very nice.

What a great property, clean, beautiful and relaxing. We spent our time sleeping in, hitting up the state parks and relaxing in the evenings. The bakery was within walking distance was dangerously good. We went there everyday… would definitely go back

Just enjoyed a long weekend at this newly remodeled cottage right off Highway 9 (traffic noise from Hwy is soothed by a nice fountain in the backyard). Great location to enjoy Ben Lomond, Felton and the Santa Cruz area.
My husband and I along with our teenage daughter and her best friend stayed with us. We had to share the bathroom with our daughter and her friend. This was awkward in the middle of the night as they were on the sofa bed and had to travel through the master to the bedroom. This inconvenience was expected and our daughter's friend is like family so it wasn't a problem. The master bed was very comfy and the whole house and furnishings are brand new so it was all lovely. They have spared no expense in the kitchen. We cooked a couple times and had everything we needed. The cottage is very close to Henry Cowell State park for hiking and biking! We did the Ropes course and Zip lines at Mt. Hermon Adventures (fantastic tour through the redwoods at tree level!) and it was a blast.
Communication with the host was good and we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic little cabin with modern interior
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean upon arrival and was stocked with about everything you would likely need. We had a few minor things which were taken care of by the hosts with diligence and care. This is a great little area up in the trees with a fantastic Italian bakery and market right around the corner. The property was very quiet with the acceptable amount of highway noise which is understandable due to its proximity. If you're looking for a great kick off point to visit Santa Cruz, Monterey, Half moon Bay etc, this is a great spot to get to many things within 20 to 90 minutes up and down the coast. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Beautiful little cottage
The house is so cute and clean. I think everything was well thought out and most supplies we needed were readily available. Very peaceful we enjoyed our stay!

We loved this gorgeous little house in the mountains amongst the redwoods! It is lovely inside and out. The house is beautifully decorated in relaxing grays and blues and the furniture is so comfortable. A large ceiling fan helped keep the house cool when we had some unusually warm temperatures. Everything is new, including the bathroom and the bright kitchen, which has every new appliance you could want. You can watch hummingbirds drink from the feeder next to one of the windows while you wait for your toast to pop up. We loved having morning coffee on the front porch sofa or hanging swing while watching and listening to a huge variety of birds flitting about the redwood covered hillside. In the evening we saw three owls swooping silently through the woods. After dark we drank wine in the zen-calm little backyard to the sounds of the water fountain, under enchanting string lights and an amazing tree that looked like a giant bonsai. There is a fire table we would have loved to use, but it was too warm while we were there. We hope we will get to stay here again someday.

This property was the cleanest vacation rental I have stayed in. The host, Lynn, has fully stocked the kitchen. She even included 2 kinds of coffee. We enjoyed relaxing in the backyard and especially the swing chair out front.

What a delightful little cottage in the woods! Ben Lomand maybe isn't a common vacation spot...but I highly recommend staying here if you are taking a trip to the Santa Cruz area. This is one of the best vacation rentals we have stayed in...and we have stayed in quite a few. The home was super clean, there was everything you could need, and the house was beautifully and comfortably decorated. The linens were excellent quality, and they actually provided extra towels! ( My pet peeve are the places that give you one scrawny towel per person...ick!) The furnishings and decor were more like a home than a rental...and I hope that future renters appreciate that and respect the property. We enjoyed an afternoon reading on the porch ...with a gorgeous view of the woods...we enjoyed being there so much we never left but for a run to the local grocery store. Would absolutely stay again!

We loved our stay at this lovely house! It was very clean and perfectly maintained! The kitchen had every amenity you could possibly ever need! It was quiet and very private. The backyard was lovely with firepit and bbq! So cute with planted flowers and a small fountain! It's a short drive to the beautiful Loch Lamond for hiking and picnicking ! And 30 minutes from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk! We loved it and hope to come back when visiting our family again!

Very quiet, immaculate, decorated with care and upscale new appliances. Easy access to outdoors for pets. About 20 minutes to Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz. Well marked on highway Ca 9 but use caution if coming from the south to cross traffic. Best to drive to red light in Ben Lomond turn and head south on Ca 9 you can safely enter on the right side. Great hiking trails throughout the area. We loved it.
