Happy Garden Glamper
1. Happy Garden Glamper
15mi from Foster City · 1 site
Find your garden escape in our lovingly converted camper van, a rustic-retro retreat nestled in a lush garden. The van has all the essentials: a comfy bed, private shower/toilet, and kitchenette.
Step outside to your personal oasis with a fire pit for starry nights, a hammock for lazy afternoons, and an outdoor kitchen surrounded by an edible garden. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, you're just minutes from redwood trails (ebikes available). It’s the perfect peaceful base for garden lovers and glampers.
Here’s a breakdown of your private glamping setup and the overall property so you can feel right at home.
Your Private Camper Van
This is your cozy, self-contained space. While compact, it’s thoughtfully laid out with everything you need:
• Sleeping Area: A comfortable full-size bed, perfect for two.
• Private Bathroom: A compact, all-in-one wet bath with a toilet and hot shower.
• Kitchenette: Equipped with a gas cooker, fridge, and microwave for preparing simple meals and snacks.
• Climate Control: Stay comfortable year-round with both heating and AC.
Your Dedicated Outdoor Oasis
The magic continues right outside your door in a space that’s exclusively yours to enjoy:
• Fire Pit & Seating Area: The perfect spot for cozy evenings, stargazing, and making memories.
• Outdoor Kitchen: For those who love to cook al fresco, there’s an additional gas stove.
• Relaxation Zone: A comfy hammock is strung up for lazy afternoons with a book.
• Edible Garden: Feel free to snip fresh herbs to elevate your camp-side meals!
About the Property Layout
The camper van is situated in its own private, designated space at the front of the property.
• Our Home: We (your hosts) live in the main house with our young son and small, friendly dog.
• Back Cottage: There is also a separate cottage at the back of the property that may be occupied by other quiet residents or guests.
Your camper van and its dedicated outdoor area are exclusively for your use. While we share a driveway, we are very respectful of guests’ privacy and space. You can expect a peaceful and welcoming environment during your stay.
You’ll have your own private, self-contained glamping setup to enjoy!

Charming Hidden Cottage
2. Charming Hidden Cottage
26mi from Foster City · 1 site
A home away from home, this hidden little gem is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Still located conveniently close to businesses of all kinds, including multiple downtown areas, HWY 17 and 85, 1 mile from Netflix. We are constantly working on our cottage style gardens, so there will always be gardens to enjoy for you. If you are interested in trying any of our homegrown veggies or fruits, just let us know. We love sharing our bounty. :)
The space
An actual hidden cottage tucked into a space full of vegetable and flower gardens. A six-chicken coop also runs the length of one side of the yard. There's also a private patio area to relax and unwind. The cottage is cute and simple, with an attic-like staircase leading to the upstairs bedroom. Enjoy your privacy in this unique and quaint space.
P.S. This space may not be the best suited for elderly, disabled, or very young guests.
Guest access
The entire cottage is all yours, with a private entryway. We have an open patio area just outside the cottage with outdoor seating and tables. There is also a charcoal barbecue available upon request, as the hosts may be using it. It is a great spot to sit and unwind while watching and listening to the chickens, watching the sun set, and gazing. The garden area is shared with the hosts.
Other things to note
You, as our guest, always have privacy in the indoors of your space. The outside areas are mostly shared between my family, pets, and our guests, but the outdoor patio is all yours(we only access this when guests are present if we need to do some yard work). Enjoy yourselves, and be wary of doggies when pulling in the driveway!
It is an in-laws quarters type house and shares one wall with the main house of the property. The door that connects the homes is completely sealed off and inaccessible to both parties.
Please keep in mind that this is not a space suitable for very young, disabled, or elderly guests, due to the attic-like staircase mentioned above.

Weekend Trip to Patoonia Glamping @ Alum Rock Hills
Patoonia is such a cute and cozy site. Warm bed, hot shower, and fully equipped kitchen! Faye did an amazing job with all the small details in the site (i.e. welcoming decorations, soaps, extra blankets, heaters, cooking supplies and seasonings, and even toothpastes! It is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood near all the hot spots in SJ. Faye is an excellent host with lightning fast communication and was very kind. She reached out to make sure all my questions were asked and had everything I needed (even offered to lend stuff to me from her home).

Well, now I want an airstream, so thanks for that Patoonia 😆
Everything was exactly as pictured, it was not far from anything, but didn't feel like it was in the middle of San Jose either.
The host was very responsive, and the place had everything we needed.
