May 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Property, Comfortable House The property and setting was beautiful and comfortable. We wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy all the wonderful amenities. We were there for our daughter’s wedding, which took up all of our time there. Although there were a few quirks to this mountain property (fuses needing to be reset if too many outlets in use, for example) it’s definitely worth the stay for those who want a true getaway. The hosts were accessible and accommodating. The rooms are smaller, but comfortable. Note for those with large parties, the extra bed in the bunk room is a trundle that takes up the minimal floor space, and the listed 1/2 bath is an outdoor shower. All in all, I recommend this property for a lovely, relaxing getaway. ##### Susan F. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven J. Oct 28, 2016 #### Perfect spot for a quick family getaway We spent four nights at the house and had a wonderful visit traveling with 2 adults and 2 kids. The house is clean, comfortable and it's in a great location away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Cruz yet just a short 15 minute drive away. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, comfortable beds, modern kitchen and outdoor spaces. There is great hiking and redwood trees just minutes away and some good, laid-back dining options. It was easy to take in some activities in the mountains and then spend time in Santa Cruz or along the coast all in a day without feeling overwhelmed. I believe that someone mentioned the lack of closet space, particularly in the master bedroom and that is accurate but not something that bothered us. We had a little mishap at check in but Lolly was very helpful resolving this and following up to make sure we were settled in. We would gladly stay here again on another visit to the SC area! ##### Steven J. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie K.

Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home with an incredible yard This property was absolutely lovely. The check-in and check-out instructions are very thorough, and the hosts are extremely communicative -- to the point that they called a few minutes after I booked to double-check that I was aware I was putting 7 people in a 1000 sq. ft. house, and then we chatted for half an hour while Lolly told me about the neighborhood and gave me suggestions for things to do. There were a few oddities around the house, but all within the normal and acceptable realm of rental properties.The only thing that was not clear from the listing was that you need to remove the chair from the small bedroom with the bunk bed before pulling out the trundle mattress -- the room technically has 3 beds, but having the third out eats up the entire empty floor area.That said, we had 4 adults and 3 kids in the house and were completely comfortable. ##### Kyle M.

Got to see a family of deer in the meadow and heard wild turkeys off in the distance. The house was very comfortable and clean. Our dog Tucker especially liked the fenced in deck and yard so he could play off leash. ##### Joyce P. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karoline & Scott G.

There was easy access to the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains and my friends and I enjoyed hanging out in some of the small surrounding towns. I highly recommend staying here! ##### Alex H.

My partner and I stayed several nights and hosted a very small and intimate family wedding ceremony at the property. The property was spectacular, private, and hosted our small group very well. The property owner was very responsive and supportive. We love Ben Lomond, and the location was ideal, in a nice and tucked away neighborhood and close to trail access to Quail Hollow Ranch Park. Really lovely place and amazing experience..thank you!! ##### Lisa O. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KC G.

My family and I stayed here to celebrate Christmas early with our son who lives in Santa Cruz. There was plenty of room for my husband and me and our 2 daughters in the house. We absolutely loved the property!! The back yard is huge and beautiful and made us feel like we were in a forest. We loved spending time in the hot tub as well! The house was perfect for Christmas. The kitchen is very large and has every kitchen tool and appliance you could need. The living room has a wonderful gas fireplace, which looks beautiful and heats the living areas nicely. The home has loads of towels and the beds are super comfy. We enjoyed getting to know the Felton and Ben Lomond areas, which have cute shops and restaurants, and it is only about 20 minutes of scenic driving to get to the heart of Santa Cruz. We had a great time and highly recommend it! ##### Shelley E.

We were allowed a slightly early check in to accommodate naps for the kids which got us started in a good note. The home is outdated in some respects but very clean and well equipped. The home sits on over 2 acres which makes for a very peaceful and relaxing setting, especially from the hot tub. ##### Scott N. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie C.

The kitchen was large with everything we needed, beds were comfortable and lots of towels were provided for the hot tub. The host provided all the information we needed, including everything to know about local trails. We enjoyed walking from the house to the quail hollow ranch county state trails. One thing to note is that the bunk bedroom and the primary bedroom are adjoining rooms ##### Marie C.
