Gary and Dagmar’s guest suite was in a fantastic location, with beautiful views of silicon valley from Mt. Hamilton. Luckily their home was okay from the wildfires, but alas we had to contend with some smoke during the trip, which you could see settling in the valley. However we did get a few nights of clear skies and the view was fantastic.
The wifi was fast and reliable, and Gary explained to us how he beams up the signal from the valley below to service the residents in the mountains. Our group of 4 was able to work perfectly fine with meetings and calls, and in the evenings it was very relaxing and quiet to just sit and enjoy the calm.
They were kind enough to let us use the pool, and pick some yummy produce from their garden, which we greatly enjoyed. Also the two cats and one dog on the property were very cute and friendly.
The guest suite is attached to the main house, but it’s completely private and just so well-designed and thoughtfully laid out. We were in love with the design and how it all fit together, from the full sized bathroom two having 2 nicely sized bedrooms and a good kitchen to cook in.
The location is remote enough on top of the hills to get away from it all, yet just a 20 minute drive to the bottom of the hill for all the services and amenities of San Jose.
Overall we had a great time, and can’t wait to visit again!
