Stand-alone cottage in garden setting, parking.
Perfect location! I was in town running a training, and this place was the ideal private space to recharge. Quiet, comfortable, and well-situated. Maria was thoughtful, responsive, and easy to communicate with—everything I needed for a smooth stay.

Wine Country Gem - Sonoma Cottage with Pool Oasis
Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

Secluded Garden Cottage nr Bolinas Beach
Our stay at the Quail House was everything we wanted and so much more. A truly magical place. Judith was also an incredible host and a pleasure to get to know.

Garden guesthouse next to ElCerrito BART&shopping
Great place to stay at with responsive hosts. I enjoyed our stay. I’d consider staying at this place again.

Fairy Garden Cottage
A charming cottage nestled in a quiet backyard. It was nice to sleep to the sound of water (from the Jacuzzi) and wake up to the sound of birds. We also found some good Peruvian food place a short drive away for dinner. Great stay overall.

Sunny studio near UCB
It was a great stay. They have a beautiful property and garden. Berkley is a great walking city. It was fun to explore. This was my 2nd time to Berkeley, and my wife and kid's first. She loved the city. Thanks for a great stay.

Relax In Fairfax, Quiet Peaceful Retreat.
My family stayed in Teresa’s place and could not have had a more wonderful experience. Teresa was lovely and very communicative which made everything super easy. The location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. We walked everywhere and always had a quiet, cool spot to come home to at the end of the day. I highly recommend staying here ♥️ We hope to be back!!

Charming Garden Hide-Away Cottage.
Sarah’s cottage was amazing! It was a three perfect little getaway spot for me and my partner. We enjoyed staying there after a day in Napa.

Walk to Downtown Sebastopol * Luxe Vacation Living
Which a beautiful place! I wish I could live here.

La Casita - a quiet studio, Crocker Amazon area!
Had a wonderful time at Linda’s place. The room was clean and cozy. Linda gave great recommendations on local places and gave some useful knowledge on the city. Would definitely book again!

Sonoma Wine Country Haven
My husband and I stayed in Anita’s home for a few days while in the area for a wedding. The photos of the private patio space and well equipped, modern interior were what drew us in and they didn’t disappoint. We had everything we needed including small touches that go a long way like bottled water (and miniature chocolates— a necessity for me personally). The home is well lit with natural daylight, while still being very turn-down friendly with nice shades and window treatments. We really enjoyed the patio space and the (gated) private entry. It was safe, clean and cozy, a very easy place to make home for several days+. While there, we even got a few glimpses and interactions with Anita’s PRECIOUS dog, Oisin and frankly wish we got to see more of him as we were missing our own dog at home (though he is much quieter, and we never heard a peep). Location was great, just a short distance from one of the top rated lunch spots in Sonoma. We’d definitely stay here again!

Guesthouse Garden Retreat
Overall, a very nice stay. Michelle was very responsive and quick to answer any questions I had. There was a bit of a hiccup but was all on our end and we enjoyed our stay there. Michelle and Victoria are very friendly and kind people.

Berkeley Bitty House - a little bit of home
Eugenia’s place and Eugenia and her husband are fantastic… One of the most comfortable organic cotton beds I’ve ever slept on, the most enchanting, beautiful property, and every appliance state of the art, efficient and intentional with the touch of love. Eugenia brought me teas, and various unconventional items I asked for. And the natural light and airflow were wonderful. And very healing and the most peaceful and healing neighborhood I’ve stayed at in the East Bay. For anyone looking for a healing retreat, Book this place as soon as possible

Sausalito Garden Stay
David‘s place was lovely. We really loved the backyard as it was very tranquil and very beautifully landscaped. If it hadn’t been such a windy week, we would have spent lots of time out there. The inside of that place was lovely and comfortable. David was a very nice host and very helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Spacious West Side Garden Studio
We had a great stay! Loved the close proximity to downtown. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Will definitely book again on our next Petaluma visit!

Mill Valley Garden View Guest House, Free Parking
Caroline's place is a convenient spot in Mill Valley. It is close to many amenities and is far enough way from traffic so the location is quiet. She has an amazing garden and the access to the space is by walking through the garden. We actually enjoyed spending time with our grandson in the garden which was special. Caroline is also enthusiastic about providing assistance and suggestions without being intrusive. She us a fabulous host. We will definitely stay here again when visiting family.

Redwood Heights Cottage with Stunning Bay Views
Sarah’s space was truly lovely — clean, organized, thoughtful, and effortlessly charming and welcoming. I greatly appreciated her attention to detail in both cleanliness and environmentally friendly protocols. One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve had the pleasure of staying at. 12/10 recommend and bonus points for stellar views.

"Serene Cherry Terrace w/sauna close to sf, Napa
We really enjoyed our one night stay here. The yard is tranquil and beautiful, and the interior is larger than shown in the images. The carpet is fluffy, and the bathroom was very clean. We enjoyed our time here and wished we had more time to enjoy the sauna.

it was exactly as described and it had exactly what we needed. felt like being home, nice and quite neighborhood. very confortable bed abd pillos is a must for me and it was just like that! I really enjoyed staying there and would recommend it.

Maple Cottage
Sherry was an exceptionally thoughtful, kind, and responsive host. She replied almost immediately to any questions I had and made sure that I was always comfortable in the Cottage. It was well stocked, kept very clean, and had everything I needed for a three month stay. I couldn't recommend Sherry or this property more highly.

Stylish Private Flat in Historic Neighborhood
Private, peaceful, quiet, easy walk to downtown, lovely neighborhood, beautifully decorated, very responsive & friendly host, nice outdoor seating on the patio under a beautiful redwood tree.

Studio at Surfers Outlook
Surfers outlook is a beautiful spot. The studio had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and Carey was a fantastic host. The view was amazing, we loved exploring the town, and had a great vacation. All the five star reviews and photos still don’t do it justice - you really just have to see for yourself! Highly recommend.
