I didnt know this place existed. I Googled hiking trails and I came up on a spot that caught my eye, The Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area. This is a must go to if you enjoy nature and water, The Rengstorff House is a nice place to visit and it was interesting to read some history on the oldest home in Mountain view.

As both a guest and having been a volunteer here, Ive found the house museum to be a good place to learn some of the interesting early history of Mountain View and the Bay Area. Therere complimentary tours of the house museum on Tues, Wed, and Sun. Sunday tours are led by a docent in period costume which folks enjoy. The grand tour finale in the music parlor wowed me with the opportunity to hear music players do their thing the way they wouldve for audiences over a century ago. The museum and grounds are also rented at a reasonable price for events and special occasions, like tea parties and weddings during non-touring hours. The grounds at Shoreline Park where the house stands are also a pleasant backdrop for all sorts of visitors including nature seekers.

I visited his bungalow, at Shore Line lake ( Mountain View), which probably had been sold out by his grandson. It is more a home than a house, placed around beautiful gardens, a windmill pump within a very peaceful environment of the lake.

A really rare Ausome experence of a day in the life of a fairly well to do American family from that era having all the great household gadjets and items along with a knolagable, well seasoned, authentic, and wonderfuly dressed, docent who eloquently leads the tours.

The garden area of the Rengstorff House is lovely, even in the rain.

Beautiful house, so glad they restored it.

This place is awesome!Ive done video and photography in this place multiple times. Its spacious enough for couple hundred people and there is a lake near it! The Victorian house is also very nice, although a bit dark inside. Otherwise, the outside is freaking awesome!!!

This a beautiful historical home and a great venue for a wedding!

So beautiful, we had an engagement party there and I loved it !! Really nice and quiet place to absolutely visit, also the beach is right next to it

This is right by shoreline park and is a great place to walk around.

It was a. Elegant get comfortable and not too expensive I had a good time Florentine culture its all here arianny Celeste

We have our wedding ceremony here! Nice staff and great view! The existence is very happy. Thanks a lot for their help!

One of a kind. My friend had a wedding here. The entire ceremony is outdoor. The space felt relaxing by day and cozy by night especially with the string light set up. The house was mainly for the wedding party to hangout and get ready. Theres a kitchen available to prepare food.

Beautiful and fascinating historic house, but Id like to see the upper floor opened.

Great location for wedding reception or a special event.

Attended a wedding here. The venue is really nice.

Wonderful place for events. Had a great time.

Historic house in mountain view. Worth the visit if you are going to see the lake anyways. They have several tours going on every week. Several times a week you may tour the house and learn about the entrepreneur rengstorrf and his family. Several times a year they do environmental tours as well around the bay. Also check their calendar for other annual activities. You may event rent this venue for special occasions.

I’m a wedding coordinator who had a wedding at Rengstorff House. If you like a natural outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, this is a very affordable place. Plus, highly recommend the catering services. Their food is delicious! All of our guests, including bride and groom— were impressed with the food and service. Highly recommend it!!!

Great tour guide and a memorable experience. He was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions that most people wouldnt have asked. I would recommend this to anyone but more strongly to families with kids.

The only thing I would like to see is a free version of the game

A treasure for the bay area. Open occasionally for tours and special holidays such as Halloween. The windmill is a favorite photography spot for me.

Great tour & history of the area... our guide our guide was very knowledgeable... lots of documentation of relatives

Great venue for a wedding, or and anniversary party. Lovely landscape. And private.

Beautiful venue for weddings!

Had my daughters wedding there. WOW, what a great venue. Had 100+ guests and never felt crowded. Best wedding ever (says the proud father of the bride.)

Gorgeous views and fresh ocean air

Attended my cousins wedding, its a spectacular place.

Great personal tour

This house is a nice place to visit by the lake. You can take photos here because it is a pretty property. The lawn is well kept.

Nice free tours of the historic house with lots of info on the history of the building but also of the entire area.

Beautiful place to have your wedding!

Very interesting presentation and tour of the old house. Get there on Sundays and check the times posted on the window at the side of the house. Remember to knock on the door to get in.

Beautiful venue!

Not too much to see inside, but I love that a group of historic buffs cling on to this place.

I always pass by this place going to the plaza and never knew it was a landmark

I remember back when they moved this house to its current location back in the early eighties. The area was mainly landfill.

An interesting piece of Mountain Views history
