Creekside Oasis - Getaway Near the Four Seasons

Our home is tucked away behind a tall redwood fence, which surrounds the property. When you step through the gate, you will know why we consider it our oasis (& only 1.3 mile walk to downtown Palo Alto!) We are across the street from a wild creek bed, and surrounded by beautiful trees. Though we are under the same roof as our guests, you will have a separate entrance, your own kitchen, bathroom with tub and shower and very comfy queen size bed PLUS pull out full bed. We are onsite if needed.
