Fantastic place for a group

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this spacious and well-supplied home for our Thanksgiving reunion. The entire process from reservation to checkout went perfectly and the owner was super responsive and helpful at all times. I will definitely return to this rental when we all gather again. Any type of group would enjoy this property with its multiple outdoor areas, easy walk to all that Willow Glen offers, and quiet location right in the middle of the Valley.

Thanksgiving away from home

Lovely property & we had a sweet family thanksgiving meal with our 2 kids and their spouse & boyfriend, respectively. I came down with the flu, & isolated upstairs- no one else caught it, & I ate my turkey dinner in the upstairs area connected by phone & computer with the family downstairs. The kids loved the easy walk to morning coffee on the main drag, & I loved the upstairs & downstairs patios where I could socialized, masked, at 6 feet distance with the kids. The upstairs master suite with the fireplace was great. I understand the heating in the downstairs bedroom as a bit wonky (not central heat & air), but we still enjoyed our stay immensely. I highly recommend this location.

We had a wonderful stay at John’s beautiful home in Willow Glen, he was the best host. The location is perfect—just a block off the main Avenue, a short walk to plenty of shops, good eats, and everything you might need close by. We were traveling with grandchildren, and John went above and beyond by providing all the baby amenities we could have asked for. It made our visit so much easier and more comfortable. We will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend.
