About this property

Quiet Cottage on the Lane Close to SF, Parks, Redwoods, Zoo, BART and the Ferry!

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Our 850 sq. ft. cozy cottage is located on a one lane dead end street where there is no traffic and is very safe! It is peaceful and quiet save for our 9 chickens which roam the yard from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm. Located close to SF, the Montclair shopping district, Chabot Space Center, the Redwoods of Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland Zoo, any many other wonderful attractions (check out Canyon). The cottage is a cozy 850 sq. ft. There is WiFi and NO TV, a comfortable Queen Bed and a small work area if needed. The kitchen is hopefully equipped with everything you'll need and the pantry has misc. food items for your use. We live in the home right next door if anything additional is needed or if you have any questions regarding your stay. Recommendations are freely given! You'll enjoy your morning coffee on the deck as a peaceful way to start your day!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Branca

Host profile image
I first came to California after serving in Vietnam and being discharged at Treasure Island. as my ship was here on/off over the course of 4 years I came to really enjoy this part of the country. b decided to stay instead of heading back to the Bronx. Went to school and graduated UCBerkeley, then UC Davis and found a job teaching Horticulture at Merritt College. Many years later I'm retired and enjoying hosting folks as well as caring for my garden and chickens. Cooking everything we grow is also a passion of mine while trying to teach both my teenagers to enjoy a variety of foods.

Why they chose this property

This is a very quiet residential neighborhood. I was primarily drawn to the property because it had lots of room to garden as well as having a small cottage on site. Being on a dead end narrow lane also provides safety and security while posing a challenge for those who are intimidated by backing up! After a few tries everyone seems to be able to manage.

What makes this property unique

Safe, secure, hidden from the larger street as it looks like someone's driveway. Look out any window and you are not looking into someone else's house.
