Serene getaway

Patty is a lovely host, and the cottage was quiet, spacious, and cozy! The high ceilings make the space airy and bright. You can tell that the cottage was put together with thoughtfulness and love in the details. I hope to be back sometime!

Great stay in Patty's blue cottage

My sister and I loved our stay in Patty's blue cosy cottage. Lovely place with all amenities. Lovely little kitchen where we cooked several times, and a nice spot in the garden to enjoy our food. We loved walking up and down College Av. - lots of small local shops and great places to enjoy a bite. Definitely coming back! Camilla from Denmark.

About the host

Hosted by Patty Reidenbach

Recently retired L&D RN. Born in San Francisco and raised in Berkeley (next door to this location). Two sets of my great-great-grandparents came in the gold rush, and I help preserve my great-parents house, which is an Oakland landmark.

Why they chose this property

Berkeley combines a world-class university, a lively history of social change, great beauty, a temperate climate, restaurants of every kind and and a wide selection of cultural events. It spoiled me for living anywhere else ( though I did try).

What makes this property unique

I built this cottage with myself in mind, and I plan to live there when I'm older. I made sure it felt spacious despite its small size, and had lots of interesting details.
