About this property

Spacious 1BR/2BA Scenic Garden Cottage in Central SF with Private Entrance

Stay in your own private retreat in one of San Francisco’s most peaceful and scenic neighborhoods. This bright and spacious 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage sits behind a quiet single-family home in Corona Heights and offers over 1,000 sq ft of living space, perfect for a relaxing getaway, work trip, or city adventure.

The cottage features a large living room with soaring cathedral ceilings and a comfy sofa bed for extra guests, a fullly stocked kitchen with modern appliances, two full bathrooms, and dedicated front and back outdoor patios for enjoying SF’s sunny days. Fast WiFi, heating, brand new washer/dryer installed in 2025, and plenty of storage make for a comfortable and convenient stay.

The master bedroom is spacious and offers a serene view of the backyard, trees, and Corona Heights. At night, blackout curtains and blinds ensure a restful sleep.

Just steps from beautiful parks, hiking trails, and the Randall Museum, and walking distance to the Castro, Cole Valley, and MUNI lines. Whether you're visiting for a week or a few nights, you'll feel right at home in this tucked-away gem.

Note: The home is on a hill in a quiet residential area. We kindly ask guests to keep noise to a minimum and respect the neighborhood.Since the garden is full of vegetation we also occassionally have animal visitors (squirrels, birds, etc.) and you may hear them from time to time.

Hi! We are a couple who have been in SF for almost 10 years. We love the city and everything it has to offer and hope you do too!

Why they chose this property

We love Corona Heights for how serene and peaceful it is in the middle of the city. We are 10 minutes walking distance to three incredible neighborhoods (Castro, Cole Valley, Ashbury Heights), and many little walkways and hikes. We even love the hills for a free workout :)

What makes this property unique

It’s your own house with total privacy in the middle of the city!
