About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Treetop Refuge

Quaint and cozy in-law unit sits on top of the Oakland Hills close to Redwood Regional Forest and Joaquin Miller Park. Perched on a steep hill, this lower-level retreat offers a private entrance and outdoor space. Perfect for solo travelers or couples, with a pull-out sofa bed for a child.

Enjoy peaceful views of tree trunks and the valley below. Unwind with a book, warm drink, or movie on Roku TV.

Just minutes from Montclair Village, parks, and trails, with easy access to Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco.

The space

Nearby are towering redwood trees and endless hiking trails and has a rural feel while having access to what the Bay Area has to offer.

Guest access
This is a private studio space attached to the back of the main house with decks overlooking the forest and a private side entrance.

Other things to note
Cell phone service is spotty depending on your carrier. WiFi connectivity is great. We live in the main house so you may hear an occasional sound. Streets are narrow and steep with no dedicated sidewalk as with most hills neighborhood. Trees sometimes obscure street signs and lampposts so trying to locate our house at night can be challenging. There are stairs to access the unit and pavement can sometimes be uneven so those with mobility issues please be aware. Although we are located in the city of Oakland, the setting has a rural feel. You may find occasional ants in the suite looking for water or see a family of raccoons, deer, or turkeys in the neighborhood.

Love Piedmont Community
The community has many parks, restaurants, and walking trails. The property has very limited curb parking with no parking reserved for guests. I did not feel it was accurate to show the owner’s residence as the rental property. The stairs down to the rental were not well lit and are very steep.

Clean and cozy suite among the pines
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this property. We found it to be cozy and the location is pretty and private feeling up in the pine trees. Parking, as in pretty much all locations in the Oakland Hills, is a little tricky, but the owners have come up with a pretty good solution (cones that you move to park and to reserve your spot when you leave). There isn't a lot of counter space in the main area, but there is a mini-fridge and small microwave, for warming up prepared food and a nice little table to sit at that overlooks the pines. We enjoyed our multi-night stay here.

Just what I expected
I lived in an apartment with the same setup in Montclair in the 1980s. There were no surprises for me. It was an excellent location for the East Bay with easy access to San Francisco. Born and raised in Oakland, I knew what I wanted to do on this trip. The host was excellent, although I didn't need any hand-holding. I would recommend it to anyone. I've decided to visit the Bay Area every fall, so I will be back if it is still available.

Overnight stay ok; Not for longer
We booked this spot for four nights but left early, as the setup has hidden issues. The kitchenette (not kitchen) is very minimal and the unit has no air circulation. There was frequently a large car, possibly the neighbor's, parked in the "guest parking" which made parking options confusing (without much clarity from the host). The beautiful deck was the highlight of the spot but the panoramic view is only accessed on walks/drives. Thus the ad is misleading and we left feeling run down. I hope more consideration for paying guests is shown in terms of transparency and provisions.

Very nice place to retreat
I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely come stay again. The host was very nice, helpful, and accommodating. I love the location and being Able to sit on the deck amongst the trees and relax. I drove over to Napa. Everything was easy to find. It’s a safe place for solo travelers.
