Guesthouse Garden Retreat

JonahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Michelle is a great host and the cottage was lovely! The garden is gorgeous and there are lots of places to relax outside. I felt very welcome and taken care of! It was not an issue for me at all, but the location is a little ways out from the action and there is not a lot close by. On the plus side, it’s relatively quiet, cozy, and relaxing! I enjoyed the hot tub both mornings I was there! Overall , a very pleasant experience!

Brighton Beach Cottage, One Bedroom plus Loft

NaomiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We’ve come to stay here once a year for the last 3 years and it is amazing. The home itself, the area, the 10 minute walk to the beach. I mean, we will be back again next year. We love it so much and Michael is so friendly and welcoming!

Novato Farmhouse Inn

DaveRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had such an excellent stay at Olga’s farmhouse. From the formal instruction to the chickens on our first day, with free eggs every morning. To the roomy spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for more. All the appliances and utensils were top-notch, high quality. Olga really went above and beyond and we will definitely look to stay again next time we are in the SF bay. We can’t recommend a say with her highly enough.
