Lot's of fun
This was the cleanest place ever! The location was great, close to everything but uncrowded. We all enjoyed the swimming pool and the chipping and putting area. The check in was hard. We arrived at 10: at night and couldn't see that there were two gates next to one another. The manager finally came out and showed us the other gate to our place. Highly recommend !

Wonderful family stay
We had a spectacular week-long stay here. We were 6 adults and 1 child and found the house specious enough for all of us. The grounds and amenities are top notch. We especially enjoyed the pool, basketball court, and pickle ball court. The owner Bill was very kind, accommodating, and quick to answer our emails. As an added bonus, his two friendly, well-behaved dogs came by to say hi every day. We hope return one day!

What a gem
Our family had a great time during our 5 month stay. Everything in the description is as stated and with easy access to all things you might need but still outside all the busy parts of Silicon Valley. Given the rural setting, few objects can compete in the area with tranquility and are still close to most things in the Bay Area. The kids just loved to use the basketball/tennis court and being able to move around. The house is just the right size unless you are a family of more than 4 and all that you might need are there even for a family with smaller kids. The house is on a wonderful property in lovely and peaceful Portola Valley. Our hosts Bill and Jennifer were very accommodating and helpful in every aspect and always responded in a quick and helpful way. We can absolutely recommend this house. / J&A

Perfect getaway
We really enjoyed staying here. We had a 6, 11, 12, and 17 year old with us and they always had stuff to do. Whether swimming, putting , shooting hoops, playing tennis, exploring, or reading the many kid books that they have in the bunk bed room. Kitchen was full size and we cooked in 2 out if the 4 nights. Overall it was a fantastic experience and will hope to stay there again when we go back next year

Lovely Lodging for Rule Followers
This is a great rental property for adults who don't mind following rules. The guest house is very comfortable and the location exceptionally peaceful. The beds have good mattresses, there's a comfortable room for watching television, a big dining room table, and two seating areas outside where it is very pleasant to drink coffee in the morning. I was particularly impressed by the kitchen, not only because it's newly remodeled, but because it contains everything one could possibly need to prepare a meal, including sharp knives, some spices, and baking dishes. The shared spaces at the estate (the pool, tennis court, and putting green) are available to guests from 10-6:30 only, and the pool, in particular, is governed by a long list of rules as to appropriate behavior on the pool deck and in the pool itself. These include: no flips off of the diving board, no using the outdoor entertainment area, no sitting on the couches in the entertainment area, only adults can operate the pool cover, and an adult must be on the pool deck anytime a minor is on the pool deck. If you like to swim, it's worth following all the rules because the pool is gorgeous and long enough to swim laps in, but also note that given the hours the pool is open to guests, you won't be able to swim swim laps before work or after dinner. If you are traveling with young children you will find lots of books and games and bunk beds inside the house, but should be aware that a certain degree of decorum is expected in the public areas. The property itself is spectacular, with nicely landscaped walking trails. I had an older adult with limited mobility staying with me and the owners offered to help her access the pool though their driveway, because she was unable to navigate the steep steps down to the pool from the rental house, which I thought was very nice. There's a charming shopping center a 4 minute drive away with a fancy market, four very good restaurants, and a pleasant cafe. The owner was very responsive to my queries and easy to work with. I was in town for Stanford graduation, and the house is only 15 minutes from campus.

Privacy and Serenity
We stayed at this guest house tucked away among vineyards for 2 months to visit family in Portola Valley. This is a PERFECT location in hills with access to local towns and Stanford medical facilities. Bill was very helpful and informative throughout our stay. The privacy and serenity of the vineyards was a welcome counterpoint to visiting during the covid pandemic!

Gracious
Bill and Jennifer were extremely gracious to offer their guest house in the incredible Portola Valley area. As a family of 4, it's often difficult to find a hotel that meets all of our needs. This VRBO did just that. We would stay there over and over again.

Peaceful, comfortable base, especially for Stanford parents
We used this guesthouse as a base from which to prepare our son for his move in at Stanford. After spending the days in big stores buying college supplies, it was nice to come back to a quiet, peaceful refuge. Having your own driveway, in a safe neighborhood, with its own gate, means items can be left in the car overnight. This house is a short, easy drive from Stanford and there is a great casual restaurant nearby. (Zott's/ Alpine Inn). I would be happy to stay here again.
