We had a great 2 week stay here. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed. Further, the design of the place is welcoming, feels spacious, and has very comfortable beds. The location was perfect for access to Stanford and is great for walking or running. We enjoyed being able to walk to the cafes/restaurants on University Ave. Tracy was a wonderful host, and reached a out a number of times to check in and make sure we had everything we needed.

Great clean and quiet location close to town

The Cottage was perfect! Clean, so comfortable and the design and care put into it makes the small footprint live large. Very comfortable for three adults in our family. The kitchen has everything - even an InstantPot. Super close to town. We walked everywhere and hardly used our rental car. We would definitely stay here again.
