About this property

Cottage with Private Garden and Pool minutes from Los Gatos and Saratoga.

Our guest house cottage, located on our property, is set in a private, established, picturesque garden in the Old Adobe neighborhood of Los Gatos. Our property is within a 3 mile drive to both downtown Los Gatos and Saratoga. It is also five miles from the heart of downtown Campbell. The guest house borders Monte Sereno. We are close to San Jose, Santa Cruz, and Silicon Valley. San Francisco is a one hour ride north.

We are within an average 12 to 13 mile driving distance of Levi's Stadium, Avaya Stadium and the SAP Center. Five minutes from El Camino Hospital (Los Gatos), and fifteen minutes from Good Samaritan Hospital.

We are in a quiet and established neighborhood with easy access to parks, public tennis courts, and walking trails.

The local Farmers' Markets are close-by (Saturday in Saratoga and Sunday in Campbell and Los Gatos).

We are approximately 20 minutes from San Jose International Airport and 45 minutes from San Francisco International Airport.

Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel, and San Francisco are all within easy driving distances for day trips.

The generously proportioned cottage is open concept and loft-like in its layout. Due to its loft like open concept design, the stairs in the cottage and the outdoor pool, the cottage is suitable for children over the age of 12. The cottage is a separate structure with its own private entrance. There are floor to ceiling French doors at the front of the cottage leading to a beautiful patio area for relaxing in our beautiful California weather and for dining Al Fresco. The ground floor of the cottage houses the Living Room, Dining and Kitchenette. There are two Pottery Barn down filled sofas. One of the sofas is a pull out double bed. There are two side tables and a coffee table. There is WiFi, a TV, cable, Apple TV, and Roku. There is a Modern Italian Dining Table with seating for four (there are an additional two chairs available if necessary). Two bar stools for the kitchen/bar counter. A console with the coffee station (Nespresso Original Line with espresso pods, Keurig Coffee Maker with K-cups, Mr. Coffee Appliance, and a French Press). There is also a compact work desk with a table lamp.

The kitchenette offers a compact refrigerator and freezer, Kitchen Aid Dishwasher, microwave, sink with garbage disposal, and a high-end large capacity Breville Smart Oven. The kitchenette cupboards hold linens, dishes, bowls, mugs, and glasses; a full set of cutlery with many kitchen gadgets in a drawer as well as a stove top kettle and electric kettle. A Panini Press, crock pot, Indoor electric grill, cooler, and picnic gear are available for the use of our guests during their stay. We have stocked the cottage pantry with basic herbs, spices, salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. We also provide an initial supply of paper products (paper towels, napkins, paper plates, etc.).

Heating is gas. The second floor has a queen bed, two night tables, a chair and ottoman, table lamps, an armoire for the towels and a chest of drawers. There is an iron, ironing board and a wooden drying rack available. We provide an initial supply of toilet paper and soap. We have equipped our guest house with amenities and comforts for your stay.

Please enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the garden. I am a beekeeper and there is an apiary at the rear of the property.

Beautiful location, cute casita, but not for business
If we were here to disconnect from the world this would have been a perfect location. The hosts were pleasant and the pool was beautiful. However, the internet was mostly unusable and the inside involved a lot of DIY. Overall, this place would be ideal for couples looking to get away.

A perfect quiet retreat
Have visited the Los Gatos area many times and this was our nicest place to stay. Quiet, comfortable and self-contained but our host Aileen was always available to help. Strongly recommended!

Beautiful setting for rest and recovery
We came to run the Quicksilver 100 km and Aileen’s property was close to the park. Our stay was fabulous as Aileen’s property is peaceful and very relaxing. Aileen is the perfect host as she offers recommendations and knowledge of the area. Aileen has fruit trees and herbs in her garden which she happily shares with you. We will be putting Aileen’s property in our “repeat” list of places to stay.
