We spent two nights at Sue and Allen's for our anniversary and feel like we found a real gem! We arrived very late at night due to winter storm road-closures and they took the time to show us the place and make sure we had everything we needed. They were out of town during most of our stay, but stayed in good communication nonetheless.
The suite was the perfect size for two and the wood stove was a huge perk. The bed was very comfortable and had a lovely view of the misty redwood treetops when we woke up. They set out fruit, muffins, coffee, tea and even milk and honey!
The location is lovely if you're looking to get away from the city and enjoy some Santa Cruz mountain serenity. We took advantage of nearby hiking trails and also explored Santa Cruz and central Ben Lomond. It was pretty rainy, but we just found the forest extra beautiful with the sound of rushing water and dripping trees. Make sure you have good boots and a sturdy raincoat if you're going during the rainy season. It was a perfect weekend. Thanks, Sue and Allen! We will be back!
