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 deck space with outdoor seating. Perfect for solo travelers or couples with a young 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 drive from Montclair Village up a winding narrow road near endless hiking and biking trails, enjoy convenient access to Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area.

The space

Nearby are towering redwood trees in a tranquil setting 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.

About the host

Hosted by Mayu Takenouchi

Host profile image
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 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 and biking trails and has a rural feel while having access to what the Bay Area has to offer. We have quick access to multiple parks including Joaquin Miller, Redwood, Roberts, Sibley, and Huckleberry. It is common to encounter deer and turkeys on our walks around the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Each home in the hills is unique and has its own charm and character. Our home was built in the 60s on the side of a steep hill nestled in the surrounding trees. It’s a very safe, peaceful, quiet neighborhood tucked away from the urban hustle-bustle of the city below. We live in the main house and excited about being able to keep our prices affordable to provide access to traveling for all types of travelers. We have multiple redwood decks with outdoor seating to enjoy the forest view and wake up to chirping birds. The studio is set up much like a hotel suite. The forest surrounding is what makes it different from any hotel.
