This is a lovely mountain hamlet 20 minutes from downtown Santa Cruz. Our B&B was a great alternative to the chain hotels & motels in downtown SC that are in the same general price range but which can be noisy at night, have a marginal breakfast & typically no view.
We were visiting the area to help a relative with a home project, so we didn't have an opportunity to hike the local trails or do water activities on Loch Lomond, but we definitely would have if we had had more time.
We took our relative to dinner at Casa Nostra, which has excellent Italian food in a charming setting. (We knew this from a prevoius visit.)
Our relative highly recommends Spanky's diner for breakfast, but alas, we had an excellent breakfast covered by the B&B we stayed at. Too bad we're not hobbits!

It was a beautiful little town.
It was a beautiful little town. We absolutely loved our stay and we are planning to go again. Everyone was friendly and everywhere we ate was exceptional.
We would recommend it to anyone who might be looking for a quite get- away.
What a cute bed and breakfast, inside and out! Convenient for Santa Cruz too.
Most importantly, the owner went above and beyond to make my stay wonderful. I had to leave too early to get the delicious home cooked breakfast so she packed a gourmet to-go breakfast for me!
Innkeepers were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and quiet. Large shared sitting room. Breakfasts were beautiful and tasty. Close to Santa Cruz and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Stopped at Big Basin on the way to our home in San Jose.
DK was exceptional. Got us in early check in. Very polite and provided excellent customer service skills. I highly recommend quality inn Ben Lomond ca.
