Guest house holiday rentals in Atherton

I've stayed in at least a half dozen other airbnb places in the Palo Alto/Menlo Park area over the last years, and this location was by far the nicest. It's very quiet and nicely appointed; easy parking and easy access; close to downtown Palo Alto; and above all, Bob was a wonderful host. Very easy to communicate and responses were almost instantaneous. I hope to have the chance to stay again the next time I'm in the area. Highly recommended.

simply Laura's family are so wonderful hostess, beautiful persons and the house is very nice place, peaceful, beautiful and for my wife and I will be thinking to return again soon.

Amy was the perfect host. She was kind and responsive. Great location and beautiful view. We will stay here again!

David’s place was well appointed, clean and thoughtfully furnished and organized. There were power strips with electrical outlets and USB ports wherever they might be needed — a nice touch. Coffee was plentiful and the kitchen well supplied. David and Goldie went out of their way to make us feel at home. We will definitely return.

Such a serene location! Nestled amongst the trees, this Airbnb will have you feeling like you’re a world away without being far from amenities at all. My husband and I enjoy staying here tremendously. The place was spotless and has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Lea was one of the friendliest hosts I’ve ever come across and made us feel warm and welcomed. Can’t wait to visit again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were comfortable, slept well, and loved the private and beautiful surroundings

This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely stay again!

This is the third time we stay in Tracy's place, and it's always a great pleasure. The location is great, the house is very well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Tracy responds quickly to any messages and really makes us feel at home. Will keep coming back :)

Very clean, quiet neighborhood, and had everything we needed! Would be happy to stay again.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful! Very accommodating and very clean and quiet. Arthur was the perfect host! Our only issue was the parking. We were in San Jose for a church conference that took place off of 1st Street near 237. We wouldn't get back to the cottage until after 10 p.m. so had to park a block or so away both nights. But, it won't stop us from returning. We will be back for next year's conference. Thanks again Arthur!

This was one of the most beautiful airbnbs we’ve stayed in! The house is gorgeous and the property is so cool - our kids loved all of the animals. Laurel is so communicative and helpful. We truly had the best time!

Yao was a perfect host. She was always responsive to my inquires and was very accommodating when I asked for an earlier check in. Yao Airbnb was very clean, in a quite neighborhood and just a short drive to Kaiser Santa Clara where I had an early morning appointment.

This was our first time staying in a guesthouse, and sharing a space with the owners, and I was completely blown away, we both felt right at home, so much so we didn’t wanna leave haha. Victor and Michelle gave us our privacy but also complete freedom to play music, relax on the patio, and roam around their absolutely beautiful backyard. We were able to come and go as we please and always know our things would be safe. The kitchen had everything you could need, the bed was extra comfy and the shower was a DREAM, the whole experience was incredibly cozy and peaceful. This was truly the best place we both have ever stayed, 1000% would recommend!!!

This spot is very well located, quiet, clean with everything you need. Very comfortable bedding. Very pleasant shaded patio. Marilynn is very friendly and responsive. An example, broken coffee maker changed within the next hour. We had a very good stay in this accommodation. Thanks again!

Second stay. Still loved it and look forward to staying again. Highly recommend

We stayed a week at the Digital Nomad Retreat visiting family and the redwoods. This Airbnb really is a stellar 5* retreat. We enjoyed the surrounding, of course, and the Airbnb is spotless and perfect. Robert is the perfect host and always a text away. I’m sure we will return to this quiet, adorable get-away in the trees.

Sarah’s place was really cozy and quiet! We spent a lot of time in SF but it was really nice coming back to the cottage and sleep in the comfortable bed! We would definitely stay again. It wasn’t too far from public transportation and the view was amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed and we really enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner with the view!

Perfect cottage, with a prime location. I stayed here for a week while on a work trip and it provided me with everything I needed. Thanks Gary !

I had a great three-month stay at this peaceful accommodation in Eric and Rebecca's garden while visiting Stanford Research Park. The hosts were incredibly kind, regularly checking in and offering helpful local suggestions. The space was quiet and tranquil and the sunny outdoor area made for perfect breakfast spots among the birds and fragrant flowers. Eric and Rebecca shared delicious oranges from their tree. The location is excellent – 15 minutes to San Antonio train station, with nearby bus stops, Safeway, etc. The free Palo Alto Link service to the research park is just five minutes away, making car-free exploration easy. Secure bicycle storage is available. The accommodation felt modern, clean, and well-maintained with great natural light, comfortable sleeping, and a functional workspace. The bathroom and shower were modern, and the kitchen included fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, and storage (no cooktop or oven). Perfect for long-term research visits – highly recommended!

Excellent stay as always. Walkable distance into town. Lovely garden to chill out in. Flora always on hand to help out. I love her doggy Honey x

This is our first Airbnb experience and we were glad we chose this place for our first stay. Rahil was a very-very responsive and kind host. We had a tiny bit of trouble first entering the property due to the locking system. I messaged Rahil and he quickly responded and fixed the lock and we were good to go for the rest of our stay. The place was spotless and very clean when we first entered. It is like having your own mini house with all the amenities you need even for a long stay. Everything was professional, instructions were clear, bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The area is super nice and private. It is like a 5 minute drive to Santana Row, Valley Fair Mall, and multiple restaurants. I had no problem keeping my car parked in front of the property and never felt like it was going to be a problem. Overall I would definitely recommend staying at this Airbnb and you are in good hands with Rahil.

Great experience in every way. Nico was response and friendly. Place was just as described. Would definitely stay again

There aren’t enough words to describe how perfect this place was. We spent the weekend celebrating a birthday and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. To start our host Sheryl was very accommodating and proactive of our flexible requests. The shower was out of this world. It was as if the clouds parted and heaven shot down the perfect water pressure to bless us. Everything we could have possibly wanted was there labeled and in a box. The bed was so comfortable and each night it was time to sleep we passed out instantly. The chickens and pool was a beautiful touch that only added to the ambiance of beauty. I got a chance to meet Sheryl randomly and she was super nice and very pet friendly. When we arrived Sheryl acknowledged the celebration by providing a bottle of red wine and premium milk chocolate for us to enjoy. We were truly able to fully let go and relax here

Had a great stay! Clean and great location. It did get a bit stuffy at times and unfortunately, the chickens next door made it difficult to keep the window open.
