The Cottages, A Secluded and serene, yet lively boutique lodging experience in the heart of Menlo Park. The Cottages embody both comfort and a relaxed elegant lifestyle in a peaceful tranquil setting.
Close to Everything Yet Away from it all.
Designed with the perfect lodging in mind. All 28 private cottages are serene, bright, airy, and comfortable, each with their own private patio garden, surrounding a tranquil courtyard shaded by a 300-year-old oak tree.
Rustic and quiet with a hint of a bold hip vibe, the red colored vanities set a tone for a wonder filled surprise with charming and intimate details. Cerused oak finishes are used throughout to pay homage to the property oak tree and make the rooms blend into its natural surroundings.
Designed to explore Northern California’s Mediterranean climate, each of the cottages features well-appointed rooms with accent beams, large patio doors, and a private garden setting with outdoor seating to experience the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
The renovated pool area is surrounded by casual colorful seating and chaise lounges and bordered by a magnificent redwood grove.
