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!

Lovely home away from home

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.

Incredible stay in a beautiful garden

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!

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

Absolutely perfect location. Wonderful hosts. Beautiful garden and was perfect for viewing the Winchester House and getting to the airport without any stress at all. Heads up. For us it was no major deal but for people that are elderly or might have issues with heights. Please read over the ladder that goes to the bedroom. The patio and deck outside was absolutely perfect for us chill out in the evening and together ourselves with our morning coffee. This place was spotlessly clean

Los Gatos Overnight Stay

Cottage is quaint. Very clean. Nice to have pots/pans and other needed kitchen Items. Appreciated the portable heater for the cooler morning temperature. Can hear some traffic sounds at night but pretty much just white noise. Jessica was very helpful when I had questions during my stay,

Cute little place

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,

Perfect Landing Spot!

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!

Charming, Clean, and Cozy Cottage!

My husband and I enjoyed a delightful one-night stay at this cute cottage nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood. Despite the stormy weather that kept us indoors longer than planned, the atmosphere inside was so cozy that we had a wonderfully relaxing time. The rooms were impeccably clean, and Jessica, the host, was highly responsive to our messages, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience throughout our stay. We look forward to returning to this lovely cottage the next time we visit San Jose!
