The check-in process and communication with the owner was above and beyond. 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 #### Gail G.
