About this property
Treetop Refuge
Quaint and cozy in-law unit nestled near the top of the Oakland Hills close to Redwood Regional Forest and Joaquin Miller Park. Perched on a steep hill, this lower-level retreat offers a private entrance and outdoor space. Perfect for solo travelers or couples, with a pull-out sofa bed for a child.
Enjoy peaceful forest views and wake up to chirping birds on your private deck. Unwind with a book, a drink, or movie on Roku TV.
Just minutes from Montclair Village, parks and endless hiking trails, enjoy convenient access to Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco.
The space
Nearby are towering redwood trees and endless hiking trails that evoke a rural feel while having access to what the Bay Area has to offer.
Guest access
This is a private studio attached to the back of the main house with expansive decks with outdoor sitting area overlooking the forest.
Other things to note
Cell phone service is spotty depending on your carrier. WiFi connectivity is great. We live in the main house so you may hear an occasional sound. Streets are narrow and steep with no dedicated sidewalk as with most hills neighborhood. Trees sometimes obscure street signs and lampposts so trying to locate our house at night can be challenging. There are stairs to access the unit and pavement can sometimes be uneven so those with mobility issues please be aware. Although we are located in the city of Oakland, the setting has a rural feel. You may find occasional ants in the suite looking for water or see a family of raccoons, deer, or turkeys roaming in the neighborhood.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mayu Takenouchi
Originally from Tokyo, I now spend my time between Honolulu and Oakland. I enjoy traveling and use the Airbnb platform whenever I am in a new city to experience a slice of real life there. My hope is for the guests to enjoy what real life in Oakland hills is like. Each home in the area is unique and has all the quirks rich in history of Oakland. Originally constructed as a weekend mountain home for a SF urbanite to get away to a rural setting surrounded by towering redwoods. The massive decks overlooking the valley of trees are weathered redwood and the home has an eclectic feel. It has been our home for the past 25 years and we are excited to share it.
Why they chose this property
Oakland hills is special because it truly provides refuge from the urban setting of the Bay Area. Nearby are towering redwood trees and endless hiking trails and has a rural feel while having access to what the Bay Area has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Each home in the hills is unique and has its own charm and character. It’s a very safe peaceful, quiet neighborhood away from the urban hustle-bustle of the city. We live in the main house and excited about being able to keep our prices affordable to provide access to traveling for all.
