Just renovated 5bd/4ba home in Portola Valley: a scenic 10-15 min drive to Stanford University, Palo Alto and I-280.

This rental in the tranquil Los Trancos Woods neighborhood of Portola Valley is perfect for couples, groups and those traveling for business who prefer a fully equipped, quiet home and the best of California’s gorgeous outdoors to a pricey hotel room. It’s also ideal for families looking to book a comfortable, spacious stay while visiting Stanford or attending graduation.

*Please note that the home is not an event space, unless previously arranged. We are open to hosting gatherings for a fee and will need to know details in advance in order to accommodate.

The house is on two, expansive levels. The front entrance to the primary living space, upstairs, is located off of the broad, main deck (accessible via a wide staircase from the covered parking below), and the back entrance off the back patio is accessible along a level path through the trees. In the upstairs, you’ll find a modern, open-concept living and dining area with brand-new furnishings as well as a beautiful kitchen fully stocked with cookware and dinnerware for making meals at home or entertaining.
