Cottage - La Honda

Cottage - La Honda

La Honda is certainly a fun place to live. A friendly community where privacy is respected but neighbors are there for each other. Mountain living at its best, just 20 minutes from Silicon Valley.

This unique two story cottage is located on a wooded lot near La Honda. It is 30 minutes drive to Palo Alto and 10 minutes from the beach. La Honda is country, with no street lights, raccoons and trees everywhere. City dwellers beware. The access between floors is by way of a small circular stair and the driveway is steep, so if you have limited mobility or flexibility than this not the place for you.

The cottage shares this very isolated wooded location with two other houses so you are not alone but have friendly neighbors. It overlooks Alpine Creek and is adjacent to acres of county park.

The cottage is small but very artistic. It is a single person non-smoking rental. You are responsible for electric and propane, phone, cable, trash and high speed internet, which are all available. There is also excellent cell coverage.
