Harwood Farms is a working Horse Farm within the Town limits of Los Gatos, CA. Enjoy endless views of the Silicon Valley including downtown San Jose, Pruneyard Towers, Campbell and Moffett Field to the North and Boulder Ridge County Club to the East. The bunkhouse is a traditional single story California ranch style home. It has been home to my family since 1986 and now your family and friends can experience the same. There is room to roam on-property plus a trailhead a few hundred yards providing miles of dog-walking, hiking-biking-running trails. Enjoy your own private swimming pool (heated many months of the year), feed carrots to our 8 horses in the afternoon, or hang around our game-fish pond stocked with Bluegill, Sun Fish, Catfish, Large Mouth Bass, and a few colorful Koi, Barbecue in the backyard or read a book under an old oak-tree. Harwood Farms is an Oasis in the Heart of Los Gatos and the Bunkhouse can now be your go-to home-away-from-home.

The view and the neighborhood are fantastic. Very easy to communicate with the owner and he checked in to make sure the stay was going well and we had everything we needed. Family will stay again

I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful family and felt blessed that they chose my home for their family visit to the bay area. I enjoyed getting to know them as we toured around Harwood Farms. Thank you Angie:-))

Absolutely loved our stay. Such an interesting and quicky retro California ranch home! House was spotless, amazing views, really terrific property. We were in town for a golf tournament and it was a perfect location to get to the course easily. Fred was a fantastic host. Could not have been better. 5 stars!

About the host
Hosted by Fred Faltersack, Owner
I am a native of San Jose California and moved into what I now call the Bunkhouse in October 1986. This is where I raised my 2 boys until they moved on. Now in my retirement, I spend my days working on Harwood Farms, maintaining the gamefish pond, mending fences, scooping horse poop, driving my tractors and more. Living at the Bunkhouse is like living back in simpler times.
Why they chose this property
Los Gatos is a beautiful, safe and quiet Town adjacent to the much larger City of San Jose. Living in my neighborhood at an elevation of about 450 feet above sea level is peaceful and private. There is ample acreage separating the neighboring homes and are views of the Valley floor are beautiful both night and day!
What makes this property unique
The uniqueness of The Bunkhouse at Harwood Farms is beyond description. Where else can your family find a home-away-from-home that offers so many onsite amenities. Plus we are only minutes to major grocery stores, hospitals, shopping malls, the quaint down town Los Gatos, the San Jose International Airport, Great America, 1 hour from downtown San Francisco, and more.
