First off... the pictures of this wonderful cottage do not do the place justice!!! The trees surrounding are beautiful (especially in the morning). I spent my honeymoon here in July and the weather was perfect! This little cottage is amazing! You are away from Santa Cruz, so you don't have to deal with the city unless you take the short 25 minutes drive there. Around the cottage is quiet and calming. Never saw any of the neighbors but it is very nice neighborhood. The shower outside is AWESOME! We never took a shower inside! The hot tub is perfect! Very clean and works perfectly! The bedroom is so perfect with the windows looking out into the trees. I can't say enough that I loved this place and will be back! We never saw Joe and his wife but they were very easy to work with! The cottage was clean and ready for us to come in! The little town of Ben Lomond is very cool! The Ben Lomond Market was a blessing! Everyone is nice and helpful in Ben Lomond!

So overall our stay at the Freitas' sunny redwood forest cottage was amazing and perfect!!!
