Central Coast , Meadow, Great Roads, Wildlife, Hot-Tub, Polite Pets Welcome

PLEASE IDENTIFY YOUR SELF IF YOU ARE AN EVACUEE Above the fog line yet an easy drive to beach, town, and all major highways this one-level house (Vacation Rental Permit # 11159 expires 9/15/2025) has a detached office and garage with electric car port and overlooks a gorgeous private meadow surrounded by forest with distant views of the coastal mountains. A monumental 350-year-old coastal oak tree (10,000 sq ft canopy) shades an enormous deck that transitions to multiple gardens on 2 1/2 acres. The open floor plan surrounds the chef's kitchen. Spending time in the hot tub, the meadow room with char-pit or outdoor garden shower are guest favorites. Upland vistas are a short hike, where as, world class destinations like San Fransisco, Carmel, Monterey, Cupertino and Oakland are all easy day trips. Tucked up against the Zyante Sand Hills Habitat and the Quail Hollow Ranch Equestrian Park wildlife on parade is the norm. Swimming holes are near, as is the fabulous salt-water pool and club house at the Trout Farm Inn. Some of the best music venues found in the central coast are hidden gems on the mountains.

House:
-The master's suite contains a large four-poster bed, a free-standing gas fireplace, and a low-curb walk-in stone tile shower.
-The guest room has a comfortable pillow-top queen bed and a little extra storage.
-The third bedroom is quite small containing a bunk bed plus the pullout trundle (all three are single beds). Our smallest fans will find a toy box under the desk in the closet.
-You will find a hide-a-sofa in the living room. Your teen might enjoy the vinyl collection and turntable and incredibly fast internet connection.

Detached Office:
-The executive office contains a large work table, printer and comfortable sitting area can be available with advanced arrangement for a fee. Larger satellite conference rooms are just two miles down the hill.

Yard:
-The hidden kitchen garden is protected by tall deer fence, planted with fresh vegetables of the season, herbs, and fruit. Please help us by keeping the gate closed and the deer out.
-The meditation area, with Buddha house and fountain, is a great place to read or enjoy a private conversation.
-The meadow room, built from the tops of redwood trees and a floor of Santa Fe slate is surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaping. There is a fully screened fire pit with this roasting rack to melt dessert or grill the late-night bite.
-Hot tub and Garden Shower are romantic and a fun way to end the day.
We are situated 10 Miles to downtown Santa Cruz and the Municipal Wharf and Beaches but only steps to the amazing world only found in the Santa Cruz Mountains:
-Zyante Sandhills Conservation Habitat
-Historic Quail Hollow Ranch Park
-Henry Cowell Redwood State Park
Within the San Lorenzo Valley you will discover:
-Local breweries,
-Roaring Camp Railroad (19th century steam train),
-Hidden swimming holes, private pool clubs,
-Art festivals
-Music venues like the Felton Music Hall
- Big Basin Redwood State Park re-emerging post CZU fires
-Boating in the Loch Lomond Reservoir
-Zip line in the Redwood canopy.

Amazing Property in a Beautiful Area
Everything was clean when I arrived and it was really easy to get settled in. I really enjoyed the hot tub and the outdoor shower was really great for rinsing off afterwards. 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!

Amazing property and wonderful hosts!
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!!

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.

Relaxing Stay
We met family here for the Easter weekend and it was the perfect fit. 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.

Beautiful, serene setting for a getaway
The house and grounds were gorgeous! My family of four was so comfortable and happy in this home. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, the comfy beds, and the peaceful setting (the hammock and sitting area with the fountain in particular). Lolly and Lindley were warm and welcoming and had lots of great tips on local fun! I hiked to the top of the sunset trail and was rewarded with an inspiring view of the whole valley!

The owners were very friendly and helpful and the house was very nice. My only issue was that the pillows were not very comfortable (there were lots of very thin or very lumpy pillows). Otherwise, this house has everything you need to feel comfortable and at home. Highly recommend!

Comfortable stay close to nature trails
This is a very comfy house with a great outdoor space: hot tub, deck, a lot of land to explore for the kids. 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

A slice of paradise
It is always a treat to spend time at Quail Hollow. It's a beautiful and tranquil spot and the enlarged decking with the ancient oak tree canopy is somethng to behold. The home is comfortable and cozy. The garden. just beyond the inviting hot tub, was filled with delicious grapes,tomatoes and berries.Lolly is the best as well.
