Kim and her family were very accommodating during my stay at the Los Gatos Guesthouse. The house was very clean and quiet.The property is beautifully situated and the MacBeth's were friendly and also respected our privacy. A perfect place to stay when visiting the Bay Area. Thanks again! Martin Stoner, New York, NY |

Kim and her family were very accommodating during our stay at the Los Gatos Guesthouse. Although the property is listed with one bathroom, we were able to use the pool bathroom as our second bathroom, which was helpful for a family of four. The patio, pool, and hot tub made our stay, which was primarily to visit Stanford, a real vacation. The dogs are very sweet and kept all entertained. |

| My family stayed at the Los Gatos Guesthouse this summer for 3 nights and loved the atmosphere and place. The house was very clean and quiet. The children loved the quiet grounds and the very obedient dogs. Very central to south San Jose / Almeden and Los Gatos. Thanks! |

This was our second stay at the MacBeth guest house, this time for an entire month in February & March. The accommodations are great - clean and fully equipped - and the hosts could not be more hospitable. This is an excellent place to stay. |

| My family and I had a great 10 day stay at the MacBeth guesthouse. The property is beautiful situated in the in the hills behind Los Gatos. The guest house comes with all the comforts of a small home, and appears very new and clean. The MacBeth's were friendly and also respected our privacy. A perfect place to stay when visiting the Bay Area. Thanks again! |

| Our stay here was perfect. It was so much better than any hotel. We all loved the pool and our son still talks about the trampoline and "Cody's house"(Cody is one of the dogs our son, who is 3, loved to throw the ball for). We had a hard time coming home after our stay here. |

My wife and I stayed a week in the guesthouse in March. The guesthouse exceeded our expectations. It was spotless and very well equipped. The location can't be beat - very close to San Jose, but in the country. We didn't have time to take advantage of all the facilities and the hosts were more than willing to take care of any problems. Highly recommended. |

| I recently stayed at the MacBeth guesthouse for a week( Feb 15-22, 2008). It is as nice or nicer than the pictures on the VRBO website! The dogs are very friendly and the hot tub was great after my 80 mile bicycle rides! It is also convenient to the airport and downtown Los Gatos. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay that wants something larger and nicer than a hotel room. |

Linda and I spent a week in October 2007 while visiting our son who lives in Los Gatos. We enjoyed the accommodations very much. Kim and family were very gracious and afforded us all of the privacy we desired.
The guesthouse was clean, well appointed and well maintained.
We would definitely consider staying again. |

Our family (2 adults, 2 children) spent 5 weeks in the guest house last summer (late June and July) and had a wonderful time. The house is a perfect setup to feel at home - fully functional kitchen, clean and comfortable bathroom and bedrooms. The use of the outdoor grill, outdoor pool and hot tub was a wonderful addition. The location is great (quiet!), and a short drive into downtown Los Gatos and all that it has to offer. The Macbeth's were great hosts. We'd most definitely stay again.

| My friends and I stayed here when we came out to see Crowded House at the Mountain Winery in August 2007. Usually places I've booked on the internet are a bit less than advertised, but the guest house exceeded my expectations 2-fold. (Or even 3-fold!) The location is perfect, and the house itself is extremely charming and very comfortable. It was nice having the dogs around, since I was missing my own pup back home. I enjoyed an evening of sitting in the fabulous hot tub and playing a game of fetch with one of the terriers. I would really recommend this place to anyone who is looking for lodging in this area. And you can't beat the price, I think they are under-charging. Thanks, Kim, for a great stay. |

| Great location for exploring the area (or in our case, visiting old friends). Rental accomadation is of a very high standard and the shared pool and barbecue area is great. Kim and her family are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended! |

| I booked the Guesthouse for my daughter, her husband and two small children to stay at on a family vist to see my son in Los Gatos. They stayed for 3 weeks and it was great. The accommodation was perfect and the hosts very friendly and always available if necessary. My grandchildren loved the dogs, horses and trampoline. Will definitely book again. |

| All I can say is I wish that we could have spent more time here! This is a great location and the Mac Beth's are extremely welcoming and friendly. The place is beautifully decorated and very relaxing. Give it a try-you'll love staying here... And give the dogs and the horses a pet from us! |

| We stayed here in September for 2 weeks and had a great time. Our family of four had a very pleasant stay at Los Gatos guesthouse. The guest house is big enough to sleep comfortably, the facilities are modern and function well. The real bonus however are the beautiful surroundings, which include the great dogs, the big pool, the friendly hosts and of course the vicinity to some very nice places to eat and play the tourist. If we ever come back to this region we will try to book Los Gatos again. |

| We stayed in the Guesthouse in August 2006. It was was far better than we had expected with high quality fittings and great beds. The McBeths were friendly hosts as were the four wonderful dogs. We didnt manage to wear Cody out but we had fun trying. The location near Los Gatos was perfect for touring and we loved the countryside. Overall it is a great place to stay and we are hoping to return some day. |

| my wife, children (3yrs and 1yr)and I stayed at the McBeths guest cottage this summer while we were looking somewhere to live in the bay area. The property is of an extremely high standard, and combined with access to the pool, and bbq area makes for a 5 star experience.The location in the countryside is very tranquil and yet only a few miles from all the conveniences you need. I would recommend this to families and couples alike. |

If your going to stay in the Bay Area, your doing yourself an injustice if you don't stay at the MacBeth’s guest suite. I can't tell you how nice it was after a busy day to settle into the quiet hideaway nestled in the Los Gatos hills. The accommodations are top notch. The interior design of the place is warm and inviting and makes you feel right at home. My wife and I and our 2 year old son found plenty of room to move around inside and out. The kitchen is equipped to prepare meals if you desire to do so, but why would you want to when some of the best dining and eateries the Bay Area has to offer are only a few miles away. The location is ideal.
The layout of the property is pleasant and secluded. I spent a while sitting on the patio under the huge oak trees, just enjoying space and breathing the fresh air. The pool was very refreshing and the hot tub even better for late night relaxation. It was nice to have them to ourselves. The pool was child safe which was comforting. I had no problem with my son roaming the spacious patio deck and playing ball with Cody, their adorable terrier. He loves to play fetch and he and my son played well together. It was nice for us to get into the hot tub later at night while our son slept only a few feet away. We wouldn’t do that in a hotel! It really was like being at home.
You simply cannot get a better place to stay at any price. Everything was so nice I actually relaxed! These folks are very hospitable and made us feel welcome. After staying for 3 nights and 4 days we really didn’t want to leave. We will stay there again. |

| We loved staying at the McBeth's place. They are delightful people who have created a special living space for their family, and the guest house is an extension of their warmth and cheer. We felt that it was a very private space for us, yet we also had access to their pool and barbeque! It is close to all the amenities of the Bay Area while maintaining a rural feel. The house is beautifully decorated and maintained. It was a treat - a perfect solution for anyone looking for temporary housing in the Bay Area. |

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at the Los Gatos Guest House. The location was ideal, being close to Los Gatos and San Jose, yet located in a country setting near some of the countries nicest walking and biking trails. The layout, decorating, and amenities, of the guest house was perfect for us. We plan to take advantage of this guest house again in the near future. Highly recomended. Dan & Janice MacDonald |

The MacBeth Guesthouse was tastefully decorated similar to Pottery Barn style. It had all the comforts of home includng a wonderful pool area for grilling and lounging. The beds were comfortable and some days we just enjoyed staying at the guesthouse and relaxing and playing with the dogs! It was like being in a tree house with the big open cathedral ceilings and windows. Absolutely beautiful!

My husband and I needed a place to stay while our house was being fumigated, and were lucky enough to find our way to the MacBeth's guest house in Los Gatos. It was a perfect getaway, in a wonderful location.
Thanks to the MacBeths for making everything very enjoyable and easy. |

| A beautifully decorated apartment and relaxing hillside retreat. This location allowed us to enjoy Los Gatos as well as visit San Francisco, San Jose Beach, Monterey Bay Aquarium and much more. The kids enjoyed just spending one day enjoying the pool and horses! We can't wait to visit again... |

| We had a lovely stay at the guest house. The bedroom was large and very comfortable, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck reading the morning paper while watching the horses. It's really great how close the location is to downtown san jose,downtown los gatos, and to highway 880 to get over the hill to santa cruz. We look forward to future visits there. |
