Home Away From Home
We are repeaters. We just love this cottage. It is so comfortable and a wonderful home away from home. Lynn's gardens are beautiful, the redwoods are majestic and if that weren't enough....there are hummingbirds!!!!!This is also one of the best stocked kitchens we've stayed in. Lynn is also a wonderful host.

Perfect Little House
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!

Beautiful Cottage in the Redwoods
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

Tucked away in the redwoods
We love this property! We are repeaters because the property is beautiful! The kitchen is one of THE best equipped we have seen. The back garden is adorable and the front porch lets you drink in the beauty and peace of the gorgeous redwoods. It is tucked away yet so close to all the conveniences you'll need. Lynn is a wonderful host, very responsive and has really thought about everything you need.

Giant Redwoods
This gorgeous cottage is ideally located to visit giant redwoods, and visit the ocean in MANY California state parks, Henry Cowell, Big Basin, Wilder Ranch, Natural Bridges, and Nicene Marks are easily accessible. Kitchen is well equipped, property sits behind the main house, surrounded by beautiful trees. Even the day the temperature rose to 89 degrees, it was easy to cool down and sleep at night.

Beautiful house and property, surrounded with redwoods. Lovely front porch with couch and swing, and backyard sitting area, comfortable furniture everywhere, and everything we needed! Birds and fabulous star viewing, even a hummingbird feeder outside the kitchen window. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area. Love the Ben Lomond Market a half mile away, for handmade sandwiches and all groceries we needed. Lynn is a wonderful host as well, responded immediately to our questions and reaching out. Excellent in every way!

Delightful Stay!
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.

Ideal cottage in redwoods!
One of our favorite stays in Santa Cruz area!! Lynn is a fabulous host and has created an idyllic cottage - it was better than the photos… everything is new and lovely. It is very quiet and set back from the road. My adult kids (and their dog) joined us to attend UCSCz graduation ceremonies for our younger son. They slept on the pullout couch and we had the master bed. We liked having time to relax on the porch and the back courtyard. The kitchen had everything we needed too. Would definitely stay again - thanks Lynn!

The place was supplied with everything we needed and was clean except for the caulking in the shower, which had a ton of mold. Kitchen was nicely appointed. Rental is located right off the main road so while there was no road noise while in the house, you need to be looking for the turn ahead of time. Not a problem really, more of a ‘good to know.’

Escape in the Redwoods
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.

Very nice!
It was absolutely perfect! My husband and I stayed for a wedding at the county park. The groom ended up staying on the sofa after rehearsal night since we were located so much closer than everyone else! No touch was skimped on, the cottage was full of quality updates and I think I counted 10 places to sit in the quaint backyard alone. I also sat on the porch and none of the seating was covered in any kind of falling shrubs or bug remains. So clean! Also incredibly well stocked. I would only suggest adding conditioner, but maybe I just couldn't find it because everything else under the sun was available :-) Extremely close to town as well, and a few delivery options.

Comfort
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.

Cozy stay with redwood view
The house has a very well stocked kitchen with a huge variety of baking and cooking pots, pans, pie plates, blender, crockpot and even an immersion blender. We didn’t use much of them, but I was impressed that they were offered. Lots of nice towels and linens. The house had a wonderful front porch and nice backyard with a big barbecue and a fire pit. We were very comfortable there. Check in and out was very easy. The location was convenient for hiking in the redwoods. Only a few negatives. The road is very busy which makes walking into town challenging. Also the steps to get into the backyard were tricky if you were unaware of them.

Newly remodeled, well appointed cottage
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.
