The bed and pillows were super comfortable. Probably the best we have had at a VRBO so far. The welcome letter and bottle of wine were a great surprise as we had been traveling all day. Perfect location between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz. Short drive to hike amongst the redwoods or drive up the coast and enjoy the ocean. ##### Lisa M.

In addition to the bed, there is a fold out couch and space in the loft to sleep. Communication with the owner was great. We saw the same group of deer 4-5 times during our stay. You can walk a loop on road that is hilly (a lot of elevation change) and about 1.3 miles, which we loved. There's a TV right in front of the couch so it's a great place to spend a quiet evening watching tv or reading on the outside patio. ##### Brinton R.

My husband and I loved staying at this little house in the redwoods. So quiet, clean and new. Everything we needed was available to us. The two of us were very comfortable in the space. Our adult daughter spent one night with us and she slept on the couch which she said was comfy. The space was a little tighter with the three of us adults. Communication with the owners was easy. They really care that you enjoy your stay. And the space is truly dog friendly including a small fenced in backyard! ##### Teresa W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula A.

VillaNola did not disappoint! The place was beautifully decorated, very clean, and well appointed. I really appreciate the complimentary bottle of wine and snacks too! The cottage is located in a secluded setting with a back porch area surrounded by trees. This is where I spent most of my time, enjoying the silence and sounds of nature. I also felt very safe with Oz and his family close by. I highly recommend VillaNola and look forward to my next visit. ##### Paula A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy S. Feb 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Mountain Getaway Oz was an amazing host with plenty of suggestions on sites to see, and always so pleasant to communicate with! The cottage is nestled in the woods very close to Santa Cruz for daytime fun, and downtown Los Gatos for evening dining. The "wood" heating stove was nice to get cozy with and the loft was a lot of fun to lay down with a book, as was swinging on the tire swing (for my daughter!). We live only an hour and a half away, and this was exactly what my 12-year-old and I needed. We got a bunch of ideas from the book on the coffee table, and played each day by ear. The highlight of all the things we did was the egg vending machine at Glaum. A quirky, must-see! Thank you, Oz! We enjoyed our stay very much, and hope to come back again! ##### Nancy S.

Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything you could need We needed a chance to get away from everything over inauguration weekend, and looked for a place where we could be close to nature. We had a wonderful stay at VillaNova and just what we needed. We were able to drive 15 miles to Los Gatos for dinner (Polenteria -- all gluten free kitchen!) and the next day drove 20 minutes to Capitola beach and a little farther to Nisene Marks state park to walk in the redwoods. The weather was perfect for outdoor things, but tbh even if it hadn't been, we would have loved just cozying up at VillaNola. This little place is perfect - all the furnishings are just what you need and fit perfectly into the space. It was accurately described on the website; we met Azadeh on arrival and she would have been available if we needed, but otherwise, we were on our own to enjoy! After being in some vacation homes where we had to bring our own salt and pepper, VillaNola was a dream! Every kitchen utensil you could ever need for cooking and baking, and staples like olive oil, coffee, and tea. We would definitely return and thank the owners for all the thoughtfulness and planning that went into creating VillaNola! ##### Julie M. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mayra M.

The place is certainly dog friendly although we did not bring our pups along. The place is nicely decorated, comfortable, private and we would not hesitate to recommend this place for someone looking to stay in Los Gatos. ##### Alan E.

This space was exactly as describe, a small one bed one bath with a fully fenced in backyard. The space was clean and perfect for a weekend getaway with two adults. The area was quiet and tranquil, with local trails and towns about 20 minutes away. We would love to stay here again! ##### Jessica D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marilyn S.

The host is wonderful and the accommodation was perfect. Quiet with everything we needed. We hike there we took a trip to walk among redwoods, another to the beaches near Watsonville and Santa Cruz, all nearby and all very nice. I’d stay here again. ##### Marilyn S.

We took a Gal's vacation off the "rock" (Kauai) for music and wine and redwoods, and this cute little place did not disappoint as far as a place to stay! Perfect location between big city and the ocean. Oz was a perfect hostess and very friendly. ##### Kathy G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cherri B.

Owners had lots of little amenities. Small ice chest for the beach, towels, electronics chargers, and even indoor and outdoor dog beds. The bed and couch were comfortable and living room was quaint. The cabin was designed nicely with higher end fixtures, countertops, and cabinetry. Everything was very thoughtfully laid out. The private yard with fence for the pup was definitely a bonus.
