Stay In A Piece of San Jose History.

Beautiful, Thoughtfully Designed Home Perfect for Family Gatherings We stayed here for a multigenerational family reunion and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home is incredibly well cared for and you can tell the owner has poured love and attention into every detail. It truly feels like a home that someone renovated for themselves, with beautiful design choices, comfortable furnishings, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.Walking through the neighborhood was a daily joy. The location is fantastic for exploring downtown San Jose. We walked to the Tech Interactive Museum, which was a hit for both kids and adults, and on the way back we enjoyed a Parisian bakery, a pho restaurant, a Mexican spot, and a banh mi shop. There are so many shops/restaurants are in walking distance that a car may not even be necessary. Not having to drive made everything feel more relaxed and enjoyable, and it gave us a great way to get to know the area.Both the front and back yards are like something out of a garden magazine. The landscaping is stunning. It feels like a master gardener has left their magic touch here. The backyard in particular is a peaceful retreat, with fruit trees (persimmon, lime, grapefruit, nectarine), fragrant roses, and cozy seating. We often found ourselves just sitting back there, soaking in the beauty and tranquility in the quiet mornings and evenings.We’re so grateful to have found this gem and would absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in San Jose.

San Jose getaway We were traveling for a family reunion in San Jose; family coming from Wisconsin, Alaska, and Colorado. It is always a joy to stay somewhere where you can tell the person cares about the details :) Beautiful architecture, well-tended rose and fruit tree garden (grapefruit tree, mandarin orange bush? a lemon or orange tree?), lovely furniture and artwork, games to play with the family (we played Monopoly, the San Jose version), and even a Nespresso pod coffee machine that was fun to try. We had 2 rental cars that fit easily into the gated driveway. From here we drove to see the Alcatraz tour from San Francisco on one day, and on another day we drove to Santa Cruz beach boardwalk on Monterey Bay as well as taking a fun tour of the Mystery Spot in the redwood forest. Thank you to the host for a wonderful stay!
