A nice tucked-away property with a lot of privacy and comfort. Try not to arrive after dark however, as finding your way through the twists, turns and elevation changes of the Oakland Hills can be challenging. But once you find the cottage, it's great.

This cottage was perfect for my needs. I was looking for a place in the Oakland Hills, quiet, in a safe neighborhood, as a woman traveling alone. It was peaceful, lovely surroundings and a view and, as a writer, I appreciated the office space. I would highly recommend this rental.

We loved this studio rental. It had absolutely everything we needed. The whole space was super clean! The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the deck as the late sun warmed us after days touring the area. Very comfortable bed! We will definitely plan to stay here next time we come to Oakland. Just down the road there were restaurants, shops and a grocery. This is a great location for us!

Catherine's retreat was the perfect home away from home on our first extended stay back in the Bay after moving away several years back. Her place was immaculate, spacious, and provided all of the comforts that any home would have. We can't wait to return. Thank you again, Catherine!!

This was one of the most peaceful, beautiful little places we’ve stated at in the Bay Area. It was immaculate, stocked with everything you could possibly need, and so comfortable. The owner gave very clear instructions well in advance, and there were detailed instructions on how to operate everything in the house. The outdoor area, although we didn’t have time to enjoy it, looked delightful. Next time…

Quiet & convenient getaway

Our stay was comfortable and peaceful. So close to all the places we wanted to go without being in the hubbub. Easy access to hiking, restaurants, public transit. Beautiful garden surrounding the cottage.
