Such a great and cozy find
We had a marvelous stay and hope to go back again and again. This treehouse-on-the-ground is small and also capacious. My husband and I got along beautifully for 5 days in this well designed and beautifully appointed 500 square foot space! We were delighted to meet our hosts who took excellent care of us. The outdoor garden space made for lovely California living, and enhanced the sense of luxury. Quiet and green with a serene neighborhood vibe, we give the English Tudor cottage our highest rating.

A Garden Oasis
Loved our stay! We used this as a home base to move my daughter into her dorm - it's very conveniently located close to campus. Though it's in a quiet neighborhood, many amenities are nearby - a Safeway, many restaurants, and Stanford Shopping Center. The cottage itself is tucked behind the owner's home, but access is easy, and includes an adorable (very friendly) canine welcoming committee. If dogs aren't your thing, don't worry, these dogs won't bother you at all, but are happy to receive a tummy rub if you wish. The cottage itself was spotless, with a modern, well-supplied kitchen and bathroom. The queen-sized bed was very comfy, and nights were wonderfully quiet and peaceful, with lovely gardens and outside sitting areas around you. Though we didn't need it, there is A/C, as well as a washer and dryer, and TV with cable. The owners are super friendly if you need them, but the cottage feels very private if you don't. Ample street parking is available with little street traffic. Would stay again!

Heavenly
This is a cute little two room cabin, set amidst several beautiful small garden areas. Although over all on the small side, the rooms were completely adequate in space to effortlessly move around. Owners were there part of the time and were very helpful. Sitting in the garden with a champagne breakfast was heavenly.

Pleasant stay in Menlo Park
I booked this cottage for my niece and fiancé who were visiting to attend the Dickens Faire. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and centrally located for easy excursions to many Bay Area locations. It was a wonderful place to relax and recharge between activities. I would definitely rebook for any visiting family and friends.

Menlo Park Cottage
This property is quaint. The cottage itself, clean. The location to Palo Alto is not within walking distance. A good thing to be noted is that parking available on the street and not in driveway. The TV was inoperable. The bed, I believe to be a Murphy bed, was among the worst I’ve ever slept in. I suggested that we put the mattress on the floor. In the morning, my husband's mattress side of the bed was just about on the floor. I really don’t think the bed is safe to sleep on during the night especially if one gets up and down in the dark. I suffered a bruise on my shin trying to climb on board during the night. It seems quite comical, but I wouldn’t sleep here again!

Nice lodging
Overall a lovely stay. The apt is clean and has a washer dryer. The bed is very soft (which I like) but you won't be happy if you need a hard bed. Washer dryer is great. Kitchen has some basic staples (salt, pepper etc). A few small downsides: To get into the property it's necessary to step over a metal 'fence' that keeps the dogs and cats off the street. I suppose it's possible to move but I didn't want to risk it because it looked like it would all tip over. It's a bit awkward and especially tough when carrying a suitcase. Difficult for anyone disabled. Also, during my stay the TV didn't work--kept freezing. The owners were away so it wasn't fixed, a downer.

Charming cottage, great location.
Very nice accommodations. Cottage is in a great location, convenient to all that the Bay Area offers. Owners are delightful - very personable. As others have commented, the bed mattress is very soft. Kitchenette and bathroom - top of the line. Nice having the washer and dryer too. Would stay here again.

Quiet, clean, modern, good location and friendly, helpful hosts
We stayed over a week in this cute cozy cottage. The outdoor space was perfect for coffee, meals and conversation. The cottage was equipped with modern appliances and had a wonderful shower. The washer and dryer were a bonus. Located in a residential area, it was very quiet. On street parking was easy to find. We would both recommend it and use it again.
