Cypress Cottage, Zen Garden, Hot Tub, Dog Welcome

Tommy spent decades cultivating more than just a garden here, he created an experience. A retired private chef with an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and a genuine love for bringing people together, Tommy hand-built this native cypress cottage and transformed his East Hill backyard into the lush tropical sanctuary it is today. With over eight years as a Superhost, he welcomed hundreds of guests, enjoyed memorable meals, shared his extensive vinyl collection by the fire pit, and became known for his warm hospitality and local recommendations that never missed. His vision was simple: create a space where strangers could arrive stressed and leave restored; where a backyard could feel like Bali, and where every detail from the vintage clawfoot tub to the outdoor shower surrounded by jasmine told a story. Now, as Tommy explores Europe with his wife Jennifer sharing his passions abroad, trusted Superhost Cathy carries forward his legacy of thoughtful hosting and genuine care, ensuring the zen garden continues to work its magic for every guest who walks through that garden gate, every single stay.
