The home is situated on half an acre of land in the middle of redwood, eucalyptus, and oak trees secluded away from other homes. Montclair village is an 8 minute drive, providing lots of great food and shops. Minutes from Highway 13 and 580. It is a 1 bedroom studio with a queen bed and a pull out sofa bed. It can comfortably accommodate up to 3. We'd love to host your stay!

Rockridge Garden Cottage
The cottage is newly remodeled as of March 2022 and now has its own kitchen and bathroom. It is a separate unit in my backyard with vaulted ceilings which gives a spacious feel and french doors that open onto the lush garden. Queen size high end natural organic fiber bed (Earthsake.com), with down comforter + 4 pillows. Dining table and stools. LCD TV, clothes valet, work desk and great internet. Its very quiet and my guests seem to love having a private retreat type space to themselves.

Cute, backyard Cottage w/ close access to all!
Great space for a lovely trip to the Bay Area! Located in a very safe & quiet neighborhood of Alameda. The cottage has a private bathroom with shower (no tub), a kitchenette with microwave, and the most comfortable queen bed. Close to Oakland Coliseum, BART, SF, Oakland Airport, and ferry to SF. Great access to Bay Farm Trail and just a short walk to restaurants and shopping. ** Please note that the bed is against the wall, so if you are a group of two, one person will be against the wall.

Private, Detached, Urban Creekside Studio.
This unique, well equipped, 1 Bed cute little studio (that we love) is detached and fenced off from our main house. It has a separate entrance through a side gate and it's own private rear deck, with a seating and dining area... that overlooks Sausal Creek and Dimond Park. The tall willow that grows along the creek gives the deck the perfect amount of privacy and with the tranquil sound of the creek flowing (not during dry season) you would almost forget you are in an urban city.
Luxury Rockridge Casita in Our Sunny Garden
** FEATURED in Sunset Magazine ** Our bright modern guest house with private access awaits you. Retreat from the city to our comfortable, clean casita. This lovely, light-filled space sits behind our family home, in our garden with fresh berries and lemons. Enjoy morning coffee at the wood farm table. We offer local coffee + tea, a small fridge, robes, wifi, and outdoor dining. Our quiet street is close to BART, 3 blocks from College Ave, full of great restaurants and shops.

Comfy 2 bedroom cottage centrally located
Welcome to the cozy Oakland cottage, located behind the main house separated by a fence with exclusive use of the space. Ideally located for exploring Oakland and San Francisco, just one mile from BART, 20 minutes to SF, and close to major freeways. In less than 15 minutes you can reach Lake Merritt, Joaquin Miller Park’s redwood trails, and some of Oakland’s food, and local spots—while still having a peaceful place to recharge.

Well designed, peaceful & sunny cottage - Berkeley
