Volunteers were very nice and will tell ypu the history of the house and answer any questions. It's a small museum and mostly consists of the first floor. There are few remaining furniture that are original to the house.

I recently had the pleasure of filming a wedding at this remarkable venue, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The venue itself was absolutely stunning, with its picturesque outdoor ceremony space and elegantly decorated reception area. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, from coordinating with the couple to assisting me with any technical needs I had. The lighting throughout the venue was perfect for capturing those magical moments, and the attention to detail in every aspect of the event was truly commendable. I highly recommend this venue to any wedding videographer looking for a breathtaking location and a supportive team to work with.

As both a guest and having been a volunteer here, I've found the house museum to be a good place to learn some of the interesting early history of Mountain View and the Bay Area. There are 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 would've 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.

We toured Rengstorf House as a possible venue for a wedding. Impressive.

Update: The wedding is next month so we looked over the venue in general again and specifically the arbor which we have to cover with flowers. A nice place but many hoops (like vendor insurance) to jump through with your vendors. Enough restrictions too, especially with lighting limitations.

Local history docente led tour. My coworkers and I visited for about 30 minutes and learned the family history behind the house which originates in San Francisco around the gold rush. Any age group will appreciate the grounds which is also available for private events.

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.

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.
