Floating on Cloud9 at the Be & Be WELL

We were looking for a unique experience for a weekend away in the Santa Cruz area and found Be & Be Well on the airbnb website. Booking was easy, and all of my questions were responded to almost immediately by Shanti, one of the two owners.
Shanti was a warm and welcoming host. We arrived to find a very unique setting for our stay in the sacred spaces dome. There was a memory foam mattress on the pullout that my husband and I slept on, and a pod that our 9 year old slept in. She did not want to leave!
Our first morning there we were offered the option of an al fresco communal breakfast with the other guests or breakfast in bed. We opted to dine with everyone under a large shade tree in a lovely garden. We had delicious coffee, fresh strawberries with homemade whipped cream, pancakes and a tasty eggs scrambled with herbs and veggies. Yum! We were offered dinner each night but had other plans with friends.
We had a late start when we had to head home, but Shanti arranged for us to take away a picnic lunch for our 6 hour drive back home. This was lovely and so thoughtful!
Our daughter is already asking when we can go back so she can sleep in the pod again, hang out with Shanti, and see the deer and quail that live in the neighborhood. We look forward to returning to Be and Be Well.

The defining California experience in a B&B that offers every thing from hiking in the giant Redwoods to canoeing with the seals along the tide-​pools on the Beach to scrumptious health-​food breakfasts and dinners to the most interesting sleeping arrangements. one of them being a Flotation Tank!
We found the Be and Be WELL of Ben Lomond through
and loved it!
