White Fluffy Clouds, Meadows, Wildlife, Hot-Tub, Pet-Friendly, and Great Roads,

Thank you for being fabulous guests! Your kindnesses, notes, diligence, and thoughtful care all point to an outstanding guest and family gathering. We hope you return soon and often! The winters are magic, the star gazing parties at Quall Hollow Ranch are out of this world, and the Moon Light dances in the redwoods at Roaring Camp Railroad a romantic adventure.

The thrill of the words "Fabulous stay" warms our hearts. Being able to share this fabulous paradise during the time we can not be there feels good as long as we keep finding great guests like you. I hope you are able to return, and do let us know how we can help you find more spectacular adventures.

Lonni that your for taking the time to write such a generous review. We really enjoy hearing about the life cycles that take place under that 350 year old tree. Babies born and even conceived, wedding preparations and families gathering for final farewells. Men’s retreats and women’s weekends or elders looking for the footsteps of their ancestors. Every time I look at the 10,000 sq ft span of that tree I think about all it has witnessed. We are so glad that your family was able to share in this special place. We look forward to next time.

Thank you for bringing your family to explore the Santa Cruz Mountains and staying with us as you visited UCSC. It is an amazing campus. We appreciate the wonderful care you took with our home and the excellent communication skills.

Thank you for staying with us for you special family time. It was our honor to host you.

It was a true pleasure to host you. We hope you will return.

I never tired of those words, thank you so much. We enjoyed hosting you and hope you return.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review the property. As the owner of this special property we enjoy sharing it with folks who love or want to get to k is the Santa Cruz Mountains. We understand that we are not comparable with hotel rooms or invested flip homes. Still to compete management companies and beach properties for placement in web search engines we depend on folks like you who discover us, and want to share their enjoyment and fun. You were a joy to host, and that is what keep us sharing.

We are always excited to find great people who share our love of thenSanta Cru Mountains. Thank you for being wonderful guests, keeping us I informed and taking such great care of the home to it can co time to be enjoyed by others.

Nancy, thank you for taking the time to review the Ben Lomond Bungalow. We are so appreciative of you selecting our property for your special time and helping to set expectations for future guests. We completely agree with you, the dinning room is indeed small as the limited space provided by a 1,000 sq ft home is dedicated to other rooms such as the kitchen. This is why we’ve worked to create wonderful places to eat outside on the deck on in the meadow room during times of good weather. For special dinners sometimes the library bin the old boat barn makes a beautiful much larger dinning space with advance notice.

Jessica that you for taking the time to review. Fall is coming and it is probably the prettiest time in the Santa Cruz mountains and beach. The temps are comfortable, the sky is usually very blue, the fog is rare, the sea mammals are migrating off shore and the rain has not started. We hope you will tell your friends every month is a great time to visit Ben Lomond Bungalow.

Melanie, we are grateful that you loved the house, the location, and the amenities. We agree Ben Lomond Bungalow is perfect for Central Coast vacations. Thank you for taking great care of our home. We hope you return to see this area is fabulous all four seasons.

Jessica was a great guest, highly recommend.

We are so happy Jill that you enjoyed your stay and the fabulous Redwood Trees found in the Santa Cruz mountains. The 19th century steam train operated by Roaring Camp does run year round and does offer special programs like Beach Train during the summer, Moon light dances and chuck wagon BQ during the fall, and special kid events.

We are so honored to be chosen as the respite retreat in tandem to an important event for your family. And are delighted that you enjoyed your stay.

Annamaria, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. The central coast is indeed blessed with so many wonderful things to see and do. We are very lucky to be situated in a place with excellent roads that are normally not congested that lead to many different parts of the coast as well as places within Santa Cruz County. The Santa Cruz Mountains are magical even during the winter, we hope you return to check in out.

Matthew thank you for the enthusiastic review. We also love the outdoor shower, especially in the late afternoon to see how the light hits the Bonny Doon Montains. We are looking forward to hearing more about the University.

Nikki‘S family was a joy to host. They took great care of the property and kept us informed of arrival and departure and upcomping maintince needs. Highly reccomend.

Thank you for taking the time to review the property, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay this past fall. Winter is a wonderful time to explore the Santa Cruz mountains as well.

We are so appreciative of the time you took to write this thoughtful review. Thank you. Just tonight I was looking at the seed catalogue and wondering about ordering 5 pounds of lupine seed for the meadow recalling how my last attempt did not get me very far but did provide a feast for the flock of turkeys that patrolled the yard for days and days.

Brick, this special place is available for our own use because we are able to find special people like you and your family to share it with. We love opportunity to help show families this incredible area, thank you for giving us the opportunity. Thank you for taking such good care of our home.

Julie thank you for bringing your family to the Ben Lomond Bungalow to view the wildlife and enjoy family time. We never get tired of hearing about good times and newly found adventures. Thanks for writing. We hope you can return soon.

We just happen to have a couple of midweek days open this month if your cabin fever sets in. Or, winter storms in Jan can be amazing in the mountains. If the power goes out, we still have gas and lots of battery operated candels.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We hope you are able to return to see how fabulous and lush the Santa Cruz Mountains are in the spring.
