Our stay here was so lovely. The room was clean and inviting, the view from the deck is just stunning, and Tanzeer was incredibly hospitable, kind, and responsive to my fiance and me.
The separate entrance and bathroom provided us plenty of privacy. The location was wonderful too--only a 10-minute walk into downtown, which is home to coffee shops (Sue's Gallery Cafe was our favorite! Try the brioche bun!), restaurants, and salons. Hakone Estate and Gardens is barely a 10-minute drive from Tanzeer's home as well, very convenient if you are attending a wedding there, as we were. We visited nearby Montalvo Arts Center (about, again, 10-mins away!) for a hike and stroll through their gardens as well--very recommended for a mildly difficult hike with great views and seemingly low traffic! Lastly, Sanborn County Park is a nearby, gorgeous public land with lush hikes through redwoods (be wary taking a Lyft or Uber up there though--no signal once you're there) good for all levels of hiking and strolling.
If we visit Saratoga again, Tanzeer's home is the first we would consider before any other's. I cannot speak enough to how warmly we were treated. Also, their chocolate lab and balinese cat were the sweetest! Thank you, Tanzeer!
