About this property

Mountaintop gated 1 acre nature estate, serene, private, 2300 sq' home; 2500 sq' expansive decks & patios. Solar heated swimming pool. Sun! Enormous forest views.

Jacuzzi ($150 min. charge), WeberBBQ & outdoor sink. Putting green. Huge garden, patios, carpeted child's play area. EV charging station in driveway. Parties or events not allowed except by special arrangement.
Our home is on a one acre property.
Geraldine and Joe, the owners, maintain a small apartment on the upper level at the very end of the main house. They travel approximately six months of the year. If they are not traveling, they reside in that small in-law apartment.
Geraldine and Joe are completely independent of their guests and do not share any part of the over 1/2 acre private guest areas.
In 10 years, they have never had an issue with their guests.
Their home is very well insulated.
They do not hear guests (even crying babies and screaming children) and guests do not hear the owners.
Geraldine and Joe have a private entrance, kitchen, etc.
They are very sensitive to Guests' privacy. They do not use the pool or hot tub.
Geraldine and Joe do work in the upper level 1/2 acre garden area (guests are fully welcome in that area as well). If Geraldine and Joe are in residence, the upper garden area and the driveway are the only places guests and owners might encounter one another.
There are three levels to the expansive property.
Guests are almost always on the main level with the 100 foot long large deck area or on the large pool and hot tub deck area which is a level below the main level.
The owner area is on the upper garden level in the very back.

Feel of middile of nowhere
This house was amazing! Though it was winter, we were able to use the spa, which was great in the chilly evenings. The beds were nice and cozy, the kitchen had everything we needed for family meals. The whole family loved hanging out in the billiard room and play putt putt at the top of the property. The view from the putt putt course is breath taking and so relaxing. Geraldine was very responsive when we had an issue and got a resolution right away. We greatly enjoyed our stay. Our family thanks Geraline and Joseph !

Nice place to stay
Clean and beautiful property just outside the San Francisco area. Owners were very nice people and accommodating. We traveled with 5 people and had lots of room in the house. Deck and pool area is great and putting green is challenging. I would recommend this rental to anyone.

Should have been told that the owners live in the property before deciding whether we wanted to rent
Overall we had a nice time, even though the gardeners were there one day for most of the day. The owners were very nice and friendly.
