Wow! Words can only partially describe my incredible time at Lesley and Kevin's cottage!
I booked my stay for work - the location could not have been more perfect, just minutes from the various places I needed to be in the heart of Menlo Park. The cottage is quiet, spacious, and very well appointed. I have a hard time sleeping while on the road for work, and I can honestly say I slept like a baby. Over the top comfortable!
Lesley and her family welcomed me with such grace. They will help you with any of your needs, and respect all of your wishes. As others have noted, I wish I had more time to spend with them. Just a beautiful family and home.
The grounds are immaculate! I adored their backyard! So warm and peaceful, and quite possibly my new favorite place to conduct conference calls. Make time to enjoy the hot tub -- I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to do so!
I hope their cottage is available on my next trip to the area -- it's just the retreat any road warrior needs!
I look forward to the chance to be back again soon.
P.S.
- Their daughter can bake a mean banana bread - SO delicious!
