I wanted to give Gabriel & Tanya 6 or more stars in every category. I have stayed in dozens of AirBnb properties around the world and I have to say that their property in Ben Lomond is the best to date! They exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Ben Lomond is such a gem whether you live in the Bay Area or are traveling from afar, this location is extraordinary and such a great value. We were greeted by Gabriel & Tanya's children who are already masters of hospitality and their dog Arthur is the sweetest barker in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I so appreciate a sense of humor and one read of their Guest Guidelines is on par with any SNL skit writer. It just made our arrival fun and light after a 6 hour drive up from Southern Colorado.
For those in search of brilliant culinary destinations, a stay in Ben Lomond offers two of the best regional fare restaurants in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Do not miss the Cremer House in Felton and the Heavenly Roadside Cafe in Scotts Valley. They are both just minutes from Gabriel & Tanya's place and offer some of the most delicious organic, locally sourced dishes. I am already ready to go back! GH
