We felt pampered in this beautifully appointed guest house. The owners were attentive, offering welcome baskets of food and solid suggestions on the area. The location was both convenient to our family and the thoroughfares, but the street itself was sleepy quiet. Los Gatos is a delightful destination and this property exceeded expectations.

We were renting the cottage for 5 weeks as we needed a place to stay until we find a suitable long term rental in the Bay Area. Los Gatos cottages is the perfect temporary place for a couple. The cottage is in a nice snd calm area, near to town. It is well equipped with everything you need. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is clean. Laundry machine is on site too. Chris the owner is absolutely welcoming and helpful. Thank you for having us, we can only recommend this place!
Cottage B was so comfortable and tranquil . My daughter and I enjoyed all the special little things such as HOME MADE banana bread, a beautiful fruit tray and all the little things you normally have to go out purchase. This cottage was fully equipt with everything from laundry detergent to toiletries and more. I highly recommend this cottage in Los Gatos and could not say enough about the kind gracious owner of the property. If anyone wants a great tranquil retreat in a beautiful neighborhood look at this cottage to stay. You won't regret it.!

Cozy, comfortable cottage in Los Gatos!
We had a wonderful stay in this cottage conveniently located close to freeways and shopping. The cottage is in a quiet area of Los Gatos, a lovely and well-maintained community. Great restaurants close by..we recommend Viva and Steamers, both very close. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Chris couldn't have been nicer! We were greeted with a loaf of chocolate chip banana bread and a bowl of fruit.....so welcome after a long day of driving.
It's a pleasure to recommend this property. We'll definitely stay here again next time we come through.

Wonderful home from home in a peaceful setting close to town
My husband and I stayed at this property for two months during April and May 2015. We know Los Gatos well from previous visits and were keen to be within walking distance of all the wonderful local shops, bars and restaurants. This cottage definitely delivered on that, being situated in a quiet, attractive neighbourhood about a 15 minute walk from downtown. The cottage itself was really homely and contained everything you need, and more, to have a real home from home experience, it was apparent that a great deal of thought had gone into the needs and comfort of visitors. There was plenty of space for two people. Chris was always available in case of problems/questions and although we experienced no major issues, it was good to know he was around. As a bonus, there was an attractive, shaded yard with a barbecue which remained cool even on warmer days. Super fast broadband and a really good shower are two things that always enhance your experience wherever you stay and both were excellent in this property. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and felt very much at home. I would definitely recommend this property for your Los Gatos stay.

Quiet cottage getaway
This small but well-equipped cottage was the perfect spot to stay for several weeks so I could be close to family for a long visit. The cottage is very close to downtown shopping and restaurants, on a very quiet street, while still convenient to main streets and highways. I will definitely stay there again!
