Beautiful Home
Beautiful home in every aspect. Gorgeous views of the Bay Area. The house is clean, spacious and fully equipped with all the necessities. Tom and Brigitte, thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home and for allowing us to use your homegrown vegetables. Special thanks for the tasty honey from your bees. We look forward to hopefully staying here again.

Didn't want to leave
We had an absolute magical stay at Tom and Brigitte's home. Everything about it makes you feel like you are their dear friend visiting for a spell. The home is spacious, clean, and cozy to the fullest. The little treats that made this home a true delight: the Sibley trailhead across the street, the Tesla charger, the organic garden, the larger washer/dryer on the main floor, natural cleaning products, organic mattresses, a well-stocked kitchen, books-on-books-on-books, views-on-views-on-views. We traveled with our toddler and as an admittedly anxious mom, I worry that rentals will smell like cigarettes or house other strong odors/fragrances, have sharp edges, and be sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. I needn't have worried with Tom and Brigitte's home. The minute we walked in the door, we let out a huge sigh of relief. The home seemed to wrap us up in a warm hug after a long day of travel. We felt safe and more importantly, I knew my child was safe in this home. While there are many many stairs, we took climbing them in stride. Our legs are now toner and our cardio much-improved. The home had everything we needed and when it was sadly time to leave, our toddler told us he didn't want to. He wanted to "stay in the house with the big bathtub". Even a three-year old can tell just how special a place this is. Thank you, Tom and Brigitte, for sharing your home with us. May we all take care of it.

Great experience!
We loved staying at this gorgeous house. The views are absolutely stunning. The house was fully stocked, and in great condition. We loved picking veggies from the garden and the hosts had great communication. The house is on three levels, so be sure your comfortable with lots of stairs!

Beautiful Views and Amazing Stay
The pictures online do not do this property justice - the views are absolutely spectacular. On a good day, there is a view of both the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. The chefs kitchen came in handy when making dinner for the family and the multiple decks were our favorite past time while enjoying a glass of wine. The hosts even left us some honey from their private bee hives. And a bonus was that there was a destination charger in the garage - perfect for our Tesla. The hosts were very responsive. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Tom and Bridgette!

Our best stay ever!
Tom and Brigitte are simply excellent hosts and their home is the best home that we have rented. Their home is everything we expected (from the writeup) and more. Their attention to detail, in the way they thought through what a person at home would want was flawless. We come to Oakland regularly to visit our two daughter and their families. Our grandchildren (5 & 4) took turns staying with us and we had a great time. We have nothing but praise for the property and the owners! Bill and Terry H.
