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.
Custom-built home has unique built-in features at every turn. It is a two story house with a 3rd floor attic and full basement family room with wood stove giving a total living space of over 2500 sf. It is a very quiet and secluded location completely surrounded by San MacDonald County Park so miles of great trails are right at hand. Decks surround the house so indoor/outdoor living is a reality. Fall asleep each night to the sound of the creek far below. The house shares this very isolated wooded 1 acre lot with two other cottages so you are not completely alone but have just two friendly neighbors. La Honda is a great little town with an excellent elementary school, market and restaurants. Finally, with a 20 minutes drive to I 280 in Palo Alto means a comfortable commute to much of the Peninsula. It is very convenient to Stanford. Half Moon Bay is also an easy half hour drive for shopping and entertainment.
Security deposit is 2 months. month-to-month lease is OK. No smoking. Cats are OK, but the dog issue is a concern as there is no fenced yard. Be sure you have a reasonable plan for a dog living in the country, and it should work. High speed internet, cell and cable are available.

The year-around creek is amazing. Watch the Steelhead pass by, and enjoy the sound of moving water.
Enjoy the hiking trails in the park, just over the creek.
