Guest House Suite - Serene Setting - Pet Friendly - Clean & Homey !!
About this house rental
Situated in Saratoga, this lovely house for $253 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Blue Gum Estate sits on a 5 million dollar estate. This guest house suite views city lights, and a very serene setting-surrounded by mature oak trees. You'll enjoy the peace and quiet of the country but yet only minutes from the City of Saratoga and the town of Los Gatos. A real joy to stay and an experience you don't want to miss! The suite has a very large bedroom with a comfortable queen and double size bed in it. The bedroom overlooks the city lights. Our pricing remains the same even during peak season. As you will notice it's the lowest price unit in the area and our guest says that it's a great bang for your buck. Owner does not want prices raised because she wants everyone to able to afford to come to the expensive silicon valley. We have a long list of repeat guests so come and check it out for yourself, you'll be glad you did!! ***** COVID CLEANING PROCEDURE ***** You will be staying in a guest unit that is a separate house on the property approximately 40 feet from the main house. You will be parking in front of the guest unit (in front of the separate 2 garages) approximately 30 feet from where we park. So you will be socially distant from everyone here. The guest unit is cleaned using commercial government approved COVID disinfecting solutions. Following cleaning, a Germicidal Lamp UV is left turned on inside the unit for 3 hours. This lamp sanitizes and removes any COVID on the premises in 15 minutes. It is not safe for children to look into this light, so it will be used prior to your arrival and removed before any guest enters the premises. The guest unit door will then be closed and no one will enter the unit until you arrive. If the UV light is removed just before you arrive, you may be able to smell the ozone created by the lamp. If you do, please just open the door or windows for a few minutes to get rid of the smell. Any smell only confirms that the premises are UV cleaned. Keywords: Guest House Suite

Comfortable room. A short drive to all the places and people we came to see. Since our dog is house broken and well behaved, we were allowed to leave her unattended a couple of times.

We were sent a rental agreement for half the price posted and charged. Sofa broke our backs. Steep area for dog difficult to access. People were walking past our area for no reason. Not really well equipped kitchen. The stairs were 10 inches steep! Nice neighborhood but the promised street parking was taken by abandoned vehicles. Too pricey for the place.

This residence is a beautiful apartment above a garage setting on the grounds of a much bigger home in Saratoga. Very peaceful and scenic from apartment windows. Owners of home were very inviting but not at all disturbing. Bit of a sugar ant issue in kitchen but such is the area and took care of it. Really enjoyed this home away from home. Thank you very much

Great stay.
The property is not in the best shape but the little guest suite over the garage was clean and well kept with a beautiful view. Our family was very happy here. Thank you!

Undesirable property
Right off the bat the manager told us that the property gets overrun by ants. We were told that they have an infestation every year for three months out of the year, which we were within. We were required to follow a procedure regarding how we dealt with food. We were unable to even leave dog food down for our two little dogs. We found out by being inundated with ants all over the dogs food and water. Consequently we could not leave our dogs for a period of time with food and water because of the ants. So we had to always take our dogs with us. The owner of the property threatened us with calling the police on us if we complained to the manager, so we could not even express our frustration with the situation. The property was not what they reported it to be. We were highly disappointed and left 5 days early. He would not refund us any money. He is a liar and a thief!

Wonderful place for privacy and well behaved pups!
The property was well described; there were no surprises. We appreciated the dog friendliness, the private setting and, the privacy afforded us. Our interactions with property manager and briefly with owners was lovely. We have booked to go back.

Enjoyed our stay. Location was quiet. Guest House had everything we needed. The only negative is that I really didn't have anywhere to potty my little pup. No grassy areas.

We just needed a place to sleep while visiting family nearby. This place fit the bill fine. The location and price were the two biggest reasons we chose to stay here. It was clean and very quiet, quite comfortable. The weekend we were there was chilly and it got a little cold inside overnight, but we were able to warm it up using the gas fireplace. We had a little trouble getting the tv to work - it took some time to get the satellite to come on and it went off randomly, but since we didn't spend much time there, it was only a minor inconvenience.

Cozy spot in a great location with lovely owners onsite! Lost power for 28 hours in a rain/wind storm right after checking in -thankfully gas fireplace provided some heat. Apartment could use some updating including more lighting in sitting area and a serious deep clean.

My sister and I stayed here as traveling nurses for two months. We were beyond pleased with our time here! The house had everything listed, was SUPER clean and had plenty of cookware, utensils, etc, towels and blankets. We also loved that there was free laundry and free parking for both of our cars. The best thing about it all were the amazing hosts, Karen and Cyrus! They really made this feel like a home away from home. They were helpful if we needed anything and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We couldn’t recommend this place enough and we feel so lucky to have found it! We almost extended our stay just to spend more time at this outstanding home! The towns (Saratoga and Los Gatos) are within 3 miles in each direction and so much fun for all times of the day and great options for dining and activities. There are also many wonderful trails surrounding the area that we loved to explore on our days off.
If you are looking to stay in the area don’t look any further! This is where you want to be.
P.s. The fireplace inside was our favorite bonus for the cooler days.
We can’t wait to come back!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The neighborhood is spectacular and so are the views. We will be back. The property managers were kind and accessible. Thank you for the birthday wine. It was nice chatting with you before we left. Until we meet again. ♥️

Nice place in Saratoga near Monte Soreno, giving it easy access to the town area of Los Gatos and Saratoga. We took multiple hikes in the Santa Cruz Mountains and the location was great for accessing the Bay Area and the Santa Cruz / Monterey Bay area.

We enjoyed staying at this VRBO. It gave us some space to move around compared to a hotel room. There were four of us, my wife and I and two grown sons, so the only negative was the standard size pull down bed for two adults. Great neighborhood and nice views.

This guest suite was a fantastic place to stay! It is very light and feels spacious and clean. Beautiful, peaceful, safe neighborhood.
Air conditioning works well which is very important in the summer as the unit is upstairs. Having the full kitchen was great and Humphrey the property manager is the best!
Highly recommend staying here!

The views are BEAUTIFUL. The jacuzzi tub was our main selling point, since my son was here for intensive scoliosis therapy. I'm glad we chose it. The hosts are super sweet, and it was easy to come and go - everything worked well, nice and quiet, easy place to be. Grateful for the quiet road, and no neighbors above or below - just us above a three car garage. Beds are comfy, towels and wash cloths were all new. Plenty of plates, needed a few more pots, but I guess most people don't cool as often as we do. ;-)
The agent we connect with isn't the owner on site, but communication is great, and you can tell they care a lot. Oh! The laundry down stairs in the three car garage was really helpful to have all to ourselves.
The daily drive to and from the clinic in San Jose was easy and stress free, about 15 min. Oh, and Santa Cruz is about 30 minutes away. Just a lovely little place, fairly near everything.

We had a wonderful stay. It was everything and more. I especially enjoyed listening to birdsong in the garden.

This property was an okay experience for my family. The guesthouse was pretty dusty and was very clearly pet friendly with fur on the furniture and carpets. Some members of my family have allergies, so they did not enjoy their stay. However, that is more my fault than the owners since it is clearly listed as pet friendly. Just be warned it’s VERY pet friendly. The area of Saratoga is beautiful and the owner was very nice and accommodating. They have a great view and the neighbor was beautiful.

My husband and I and little Yorkie camped our way from Minnesota in order to safely visit our son in Mountain View, who has been sheltering in place since March. We were looking for a place with a large terrace where we could visit with him at a safe social distance. This property was perfect. He visited us daily, we did some hiking, we ordered food delivered from many of the fine restaurants in Los Gatos, and we had ample room on the patio to share dinner, play games together on our tablets, and even watch some downloaded movies. The terrace has a fantastic view of Silicon Valley, and we watched the city lights come on each evening. The little lights on the patio were much appreciated, as were the motion-detection outdoor lighting, and the lantern the owner generously lent to give us a little more lighting for our outdoor dining. The cottage itself is lovely, and we enjoyed getting to experience living in the high hills of Los Gatos. We can't thank the owner enough for making this property available and providing us such a safe and incredible setting to visit our son.
