The cottage was so cute, clean, cozy, and quiet! It was the perfect place to relax between many wedding festivities we were attending. The process was so easy to check in and out, and our hosts were friendly and responsive! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

The property was so clean, charming, and had everything we needed.
We had a great stay at the Charming Hidden Cottage. It was very clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. The communication with the host was great, and the check-in process was seamless. It's really close to Los Gatos, which is such a cute town. Would highly recommend!
We absolutely loved our short stay in the cottage. Waking up to see the bees buzzing in the beautiful garden and the koi swimming in the little pond was extra special. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Everyone was friendly. The host was very responsive and great to chat with. The cottage was cozy and well stocked. I was surprised at how quiet everything was being so close to the freeway. I think I only notice one loud car and one loud motorcycle the three days we were there, which is a lot less than what I hear in my parent’s neighborhood in south San Jose. It was a very relaxing stay, and we LOVE the cactus outside of the front door! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely place to stay!
This was a lovely cottage. It is contained in a beautiful garden setting with multiple other buildings, and it is very comfortable. I met the host, and she was very personable and friendly.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Brittany and her family were extremely kind, communicative, and flexible when possible. The cottage is so wonderfully quiet and peaceful; tucked into the back of their property. I would highly recommend this cottage to any friends or family in the area
Quiet space with all the amenities. Everything I needed was already there. I appreciated the coffee, tea, cooking items, the snacks, yummy welcome chocolates. I liked the outdoor sitting space in the garden. The garden was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Jessica was so friendly and I enjoyed her hospitality and generosity. I would love to stay there again.
Cute cottage in a lovely neighborhood. The place was incredibly clean and well stocked. The main floor did get very hot and muggy, even with the fans & AC upstairs running.
This comfy cottage had everything I needed for a quiet night stay near the hospitals. Easy communication, check in and check out, kitchen had everything needed. As others say, be aware the bedroom is up a ladder. Thank you!
Great location, perfect size for two, well taken care of, lots of amenities,. Even with a hiccup during our stay, they did their best to correct it. I have to mention the bedroom stairs are a bit funky .. not bad but not for everyone as they say. I would gladly return there,
Jessica's cottage was the perfect space for me to land and relax while I was working as a vendor at an art fair for the weekend. The cottage is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed. The property is gorgeous and inspiring as well. Just a lovely little bit of heaven tucked away in Los Gatos. I will definitely be back!
We needed one night close to Mountain Winery for a Jethro Tull concert and Thr Hidden Cottage fir the bill perfectly for us. It’s situated on a funky property in the middle of a fun garden. With Jessica as a most gracious and accommodating host. Thank you!
