We (me, husband, 1 year old) decided on a last minute trip to Santa Cruz and were lucky enough to find Sue and Allen's cozy spot- Nestled in the redwoods in the small town of Ben Lomond. Sue and Allen were amazing hosts. They were there to greet us warmly but gave us privacy during our two night stay. The place- gorgeous views if the redwoods, clean, cozy, cute, and- super important as we were there on what was their coldest night- WARM! Great heating throughout and a beautiful wood burning fireplace. The fireplace was so lovely we found ourselves sitting in front of a fire staring. If you are looking for a quiet getaway close to Santa Cruz stay at Sue and Allen's!!
