Guesthouse vacation rentals in Kentfield

This beautiful Oakland Oasis was better than I imagined it would be! This place exceeded my expectations! Coming through the gate the first night, to a path of twinkling lights leading us to our adorable cabin took my breath away! It was the perfect location for peace and quiet right in the middle of Oakland. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more time on the property. We flew in from out of state to visit friends and spent a lot of time out and about. I definitely want to come back to spend more time hanging out in the backyard with the goats and chickens. My 13-year-old loved the backyard, the trampoline and the animals. The location was very walkable and within several blocks of many restaurants and shops. We rented a car and street parking was easily accessible. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park was only an 8 minute drive away and we spent most mornings walking through the mountains enjoying the beautiful trees and views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this listing!

I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

Our stay in Rosa's ADU could not have worked out better. Our kids live right up the block and it is a great location for so many things. We loved exploring Golden Gate Park and there were plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Rosa was an excellent communicator and was attentive to our needs. She changed out our towels during the trip and restocked kleenex. Rosa and her husband are San Fran natives and supplied very interesting San Fran history and guide books in the unit as well. We will definitely be back!

Great location, easy to find and access place. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and proactive host. Praceful and quiet location. Several pieces of lovely fruit were provided, as well as flavored sparkling water, milk, and granola/muesli, which was really convenient. Showerhead can be adjusted for angle and whether you want a straighter stream straight down, or a wider spray. I appreciated that there was a screen on the window so it was easy to get fresh air when I wanted while keeping bugs out. I suggest trying to time your arrival the first day during daylight hours, as that will make it easier to see the signs, especially when Google Maps is off by a few yards in terms of where it tells you to turn.

Eliza and Kevin are the consummate hosts! The location, beauty and comfort of their home is remarkable. And the pool was just what my husband needed. We are in the middle of a move and the quiet beauty of their spot was healing. It was so wonderful that we are going back in 3 days!

I am a return visitor because the space is great. Peaceful surroundings with easy access to downtown restaurants. Grocery just down the street as well. Surely to return again!

We enjoyed our stay at Barbara's charming Backyard Beach House for the third time, and felt at home there. We find it restful to stay in this quiet neighborhood. It's always nice to communicate with Barbara and Ken, as they are readily available if we have questions or requests. We consider this house a gem of a find. Thank you again Barbara and Ken for contributing to our lovely vacation.

This is an excellent choice for a visit to Marin. The interior makes such great use of space - plenty of outlets, beautiful Italian tiles, nice art, and extremely comfortable bed. There's also a cute outdoor patio that would be perfect for coffee, though we never took advantage. We walked to Trader Joe's and downtown is also an easy walk. It's quiet, peaceful, and the wifi worked great. Andrea also provides lots of extras, like oil, coffee, salt/pepper, etc. Everything you need to make a meal, which we did. Most couples travel with one car; our only hitch was needing two since we live in separate locations. Nevertheless, we figured out a way to use the space available and also find additional street parking with no constraints. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed my stay at Mary Lee and David’s place. It was perfectly located for my purposes, affording easy access to both the East Bay and Marin. The place is well appointed and clean, the entry through the backyard pretty, and the neighborhood charming. They were great hosts - available, but not hovering, their communication clear and timely.

This little house was great. It had a lovely feel to it, with simple clean decor. The pool was beautiful and had a table to dine at as well as several comfortable sitting areas. The pool house is a studio, with a big fridge and a nice bathroom with a beautiful shower. The bed is a Murphy bed, but was as comfortable as a normal bed, and all linens were provided. The area is an easy 5-10 minute drive (closer to 5) from Napa downtown and a similar distance the other way to food and essentials shopping. Our stay was a real treat.

This place was so beautiful, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Perfect location close enough to restaurants, and lil shops!! Just away enough out of the city, but not to far out. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice cozy easy place to get to. Also my wife’s 50th birthday and I asked him to do something special for her birthday and he put out a birthday banner and a bottle of champagne!!

It’s a very private abode even though you share a gated entrance with the owner. Barry couldn’t have been friendlier and had a great spirt about him. We nerded out on landscaping, tiny homes, and rivers. He sold me on giving the American River some of my time this year. I’d absolutely stay here again. The only real issue was the effort to climb down a ladder half awake. I did it in the dark so I wouldn’t lose my cat eyes and wake up too fast. There’s plenty of outside lounging areas and the views are pretty. I had a decent view of the night sky to the east and above. The town may be busy but you’re perched hillside under some great live oaks. The neighborhood was full of quiet families and quirky houses that are truly Marin County in nature. Open space trails are just uphill and the town is just down. It’s very convenient to everything.

This is an absolute hidden gem. It quickly became apparent why Carolyn is a super host. Not only is the property absolute perfection but Carolyn made it a point to go out of her way to welcome us, accommodate us, and go above and beyond customer service wise. This property radiates harmonious zen like energy from the community library, to its amenities and all its extra additives, to the garden. It’s graced with every bit of detail for guests to enjoy. I’ve loved traveling and have mostly been a hotel snob, until now. In short, Carolyn has carefully crafted a beautiful get away and decided to share it with the world. We will certainly be back when in town.

Chris had an amazing bnb! The place was spacious and very accommodating. Everything was labeled and easy to navigate. We would stay again if ever in the area!

This is our fourth stay at Creole Place. Both Susan and her husband Gerald are very accommodating, kind, and responsive in every way without ever interfering in any way. The quiet location is easily accessed plus it is a quick walk to Safeway, CVS, and shops and restaurants at Red Hill Shopping Center. Our grandson has stayed with us and loves visiting. There is a beautiful very large screen TV with multiple kid friendly programs. A park with a ball diamond and playground, and a nice hill for exploration are both close by. Nice restaurants close by, but I really also enjoy cooking in the lovely kitchen. We celebrated Christmas** here with our family, and have made reservations to return to Creole Cottage in late April. **We were not able to find Christmas wrapping paper (last minute gifts) and the stores were SOLD OUT. I ran into Susan and mentioned going back to get bags when I really wanted/needed paper. She was there in 5 minutes with her wrapping paper.♥️

My partner and I absolutely loved Sarah's place. It was super peaceful and relaxing being surrounded by the beautiful trees and hearing the sound of birds and the nearby creek. As soon as you walk in, you can tell Sarah puts alot of love and care to ensure anyone staying there feels comfortable. We really appreciated that and look forward to booking her place again when we need a relaxing retreat to rest and reset.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Laura’s place. The place was super cute and it was along a creek. We loved the eucalyptus trees and the greenery surrounding the cottage. We both enjoyed hot tub after a long day of exploring Berkeley nearby.

Charming garden cottage with great location. Very close to vibrant commercial district yet very quiet and peaceful. Lots of street parking and close to transportation.

This lovely, cozy apartment is in a quiet neighborhood and convenient to downtown. We love staying here when we visit Petaluma. Carole is an excellent host.

Enjoyed my stay again! Friendly and responsive host, place is clean and as described. Looking forward to booking in the future!

Amazing stay at this cozy cabin by the sea. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the sound of waves. The place is incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed — from kitchen supplies to dog blankets and groceries. Thank you!

Was a good option for our group of 7 to stay. The hosts were prompt in helping out.

We stayed at Matthew's place for 2 weeks and had a great stay. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marin! The location is incredibly convenient—right off the highway in central Marin—making it easy to explore the area. The house felt spacious for our family of 4 and everyone had enough room to work & relax. The kitchen was fully stocked and both the bedrooms & bathrooms were clean and comfortable. It's a well-maintained home so we had no complaints. Matthew and Tim were always available if we had questions and we highly recommend their house to anyone!
