Excellent place!
Stayed for over two months. The place was very clean and spacious. The environment feels very welcoming, from the garden path in the entrance to the cozy decorations.
The location is excellent. It’s just a 15-20m walk and a 5m bike ride away from Redwood City. I was able to receive mail without issue. It is also very private and feels very secure.

Owner and home both gems
I can't thank Kirsten enough for all her help and patience with housing our traveling nurse professional. Communication was always clear and prompt. Absolutely no complaints during our traveler's long stay. Top notch quality. Thanks, Kirsten! It's a pleasure working/booking with you! : )

Best place on Vrbo
I stayed here for 3 months during the summer of 2021. I was so sad to leave! It has absolutely every amenity you could need and was very well decorated down to the smallest of details. It's like a little secret oasis. It was really private, but Kirsten was also an awesome host whenever I needed anything. It was an easy drive into the city and down into the heart of silicon valley. The Caltrain station is also in walking distance. I highly recommend this property. Go stay here!!!

We were so happy to find this wonderful cottage!
We stayed at Kirsten's cottage for a little over one month after being evacuated from our home due to the wildfires in CA. Prior to our stay at the cottage, we had been vagabonds moving from place to place, none of which could hold a candle to the cottage. Its location was perfect for commuting to Silicon Valley, its proximity to great restaurants and shopping, and a wonderful family friendly neighborhood to take strolls. The best aspect of the cottage was its impeccable design which started with a hidden private entrance and private backyard garden. The interior design was light and bright with high ceilings which made it feel much larger. The choice of materials from flooring, to cabinets and counters, and furniture was top rate. The kitchen had everything you need and more. Kirsten was a great host who provided a tour of the property to get us oriented with all the gadgets, and she checked in during the stay to make sure we had everything we needed. There was a notebook with recommendations on local restaurants and things to do, and backup info in case you forgot how to work something. In short, every detail was thought through. We would highly recommend the cottage for any single people or couples!

Retirement stay
Kirsten's VRBO is so beautiful and relaxing. You start your visit by going thru a 'secret garden' filled with shady plants and a water feature. Then you come up to a peaceful little cottage that is so tastefully finished with thoughtful details and design that you never want to leave! You must experience how special it is! A wonderful home away from home!!
