The Blue Heron guest room was just right. The property is as described and in a beautiful setting,quiet,safe and serene. Johanna was waiting for me and was welcoming. The room is just as described and very comfortable. The weather was unusually hot and I was given two fans, opened the windows and it was very nice. It is very easy to get to all of Menlo Park and surrounding communities and yes you do need a car. Nice small town with wonderful food,but very fancy and finding this guest spot was special and beats the high price "motels" in the area. After being in meetings all day the beauty of the Blue Heron was a treat. My only regret is that Johanna and I wanted to try and enjoy a coffee or wine together on the patio and we ran out of time.I highly recommend.
