This home was absolutely perfect for our professional gathering. A group of us from NY met with collaborators from Stanford. The home was comfortable, spacious, and well equipped as both lodging and as a meeting space. The large dinning room was perfect for our meeting and such a nice change of pace from the usual cold conference rooms. JoAnn was a helpful host who made sure we had every thing we needed. My only regret was that we didn't have time to take advantage of the beautiful yard and landscaping. The grounds are lush, with lots of little nooks and crannies for sitting and reading or enjoying the beautiful California sun.
