Relaxing Stay, Great Location
Beautiful location for this cozy cottage, looking out over the hills and also beautiful grounds. Susan was a terrific host, greeted us upon arrival and showed us around. Perfect getaway; really felt like we were out in the country, but just a quick five minutes and we were in the city! We didn't use the hot tub, but hope to be back in the future to use that and the pool.

Family Thanksgiving
Susan and Randy have a gem of a property in the Oakland Hills. The view is spectacular and the grounds are very relaxing. The cottage is on the same grounds as the owners home but set back with privacy and own outdoor space. This is an older cottage with two bedrooms and two bathrooms ( which were very clean and updated) there is also a den with pullout sofa. We were 5 adults and were comfortable in the space. The kitchen is small but adequately stocked. The cottage has a lovely sunroom with large fireplace( wood provided) it made a nice space to gather for a meal and games. There is also a pool and hot tub- towels provided. Susan and Randy were very personable and responsive to any communication. They were very quick to remedy a plumbing issue that was unexpected on a holiday weekend. She had cheese, crackers and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived late in the evening.

Picturesque cottage
We stayed the weekend before Christmas. The setting is very beautiful and the cottage has plenty of charm. Upon our arrival, the house was very cold with the heat completely turned off. It took quite a while for the place to heat up and it was a chilly first night of our stay. The place was not completely clean (lot of popcorn in the pull out couch) and felt a bit lived in. The hot tub was a bit dirty as well and we spent about 15minutes cleaning it out before use. The biggest issue was the plumbing. It was consistently slow to drain and the toilets barely flushed. We did let our hosts know about this and they quickly attempted to rectify the situation, however the toilets were still slow after a couple uses. Overall, the place is in an amazing location and the hosts are friendly and good with communication.

Beautiful Oasis
This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. We rented it for the grandparents to share when they came to town for a graduation, and they all loved it. It's a very short drive to the shops and restaurants of Montclair Village, or to any of the fun neighborhoods around Oakland, but once you arrive on the property, it feels like you're a million miles from the city. It has gorgeous views of the hills and Mount Diablo, spacious accommodations, a private sitting area and garden, and use of a very nice pool and jacuzzi. The owners also live on the property in a separate house, and they were very quick to respond to questions. This will definitely be my go-to for overflow relatives in the future, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Oakland.
