Guesthouse holiday rentals in Orinda

I was in-and-out, but it seemed like the kind of place I could linger for a spell. It’s a credit to the cottage and how much quality sleep I got that I have so little to report. Our hosts were very quick to respond and eminently reasonable. The location was also excellent. I’d certainly do it again.

We've stayed at this location multiple times. It has everything we need i.e comfortable bed, well supplied kitchen (Hope includes coffee, creamer and sugar), bathroom with plenty of towels, hair dryer. shampoo, condiioner and body wash included, laundry facilites, iron and ironing board. All great. The landscaping is so pretty and there is a private patio with comfy furniture for enjoying the CA sunshine. Highly recommend.

Dai was SO helpful! Always responsive, helpful, and so flexible with my check in date/time, and overall stay in general. Beautiful view. Perfect for an individual or couple.

we absolutely loved Chantelise's cottage. It was our first flight with our 7 month old and the space was perfect. Our son lived the micro farm. Such a beautiful space. We will be visiting again!

Great place to stay at with responsive hosts. I enjoyed our stay. I’d consider staying at this place again.

This cottage is a hidden delight nearthe Oakland/Emoryville boarder. The colorful walls add beauty and spice to the well selected artwork and furnishings. It was quieter than our own home which is in a smaller city.

Very quiet and peaceful setting for relaxation and reading and writing. Easy walking to a lot of good restaurants and public transport. Rainbow and Zan were easy to communicate with and facilitated an early check in which was helpful. Would stay here again!

Description and the pictures were all accurate. Very easy walking distance to the BART station with easy access into SF. House is very private and in a nice area. Polina was extremely helpful with making recommendations for SF. Would certainly recommend.

Andrea's apartment is compact but beautifully appointed. I was working in San Francisco, and having the beauty, convenience and peacefulness of Marin County was well worth the 25 minutes. Whole Foods is a couple of blocks away, and the richness of 4th street restaurants and shops make this the perfect pied-a-terre. Thanks Andrea!

Jill’s place is fabulous. The deck overlooking the creek is even more beautiful and relaxing than we expected. A wonderful base for exploring Marin county, San Francisco, Point Reyes National Seashore and beyond. We would love to come back!

Very clean, quiet neighborhood, and had everything we needed! Would be happy to stay again.

Although my partner and I initially stayed here for practical reasons, we had such a delightful time we agreed we would enjoy returning here just to revisit the beautiful surroundings and the kindness of the host. Although the space, as advertised, is ideal for individuals, it was also really quite comfortable for a couple used to traveling and with a focus on study, meditation or career. From the stunning sunrises set to a chorus of beautiful birdsong to the hospitality of the host, our stay here was a great experience and we hope to return one day, just to have the opportunity to sit in this lovely and serene garden overlooking the beautiful valley and the hills beyond.

When we entered Mary Lee’s backyard where the unit is located, we were instantly pleased with how beautiful and well landscaped it is. The studio is well built, with attention to detail and the use of quality materials. The décor was also pleasant and well thought out. In addition, we were satisfied with the fact that they provide 100% cotton towels and linen for the bed. The kitchen was well stocked with stainless steel cookware and everything we needed. Mary Lee and her husband David were friendly and responsive to all our requests. We would be happy to stay at their place again.

This was our first time staying in a guesthouse, and sharing a space with the owners, and I was completely blown away, we both felt right at home, so much so we didn’t wanna leave haha. Victor and Michelle gave us our privacy but also complete freedom to play music, relax on the patio, and roam around their absolutely beautiful backyard. We were able to come and go as we please and always know our things would be safe. The kitchen had everything you could need, the bed was extra comfy and the shower was a DREAM, the whole experience was incredibly cozy and peaceful. This was truly the best place we both have ever stayed, 1000% would recommend!!!

David‘s place was lovely. We really loved the backyard as it was very tranquil and very beautifully landscaped. If it hadn’t been such a windy week, we would have spent lots of time out there. The inside of that place was lovely and comfortable. David was a very nice host and very helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again.

We LOVED it here. House is exactly as described and has a super cozy location. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

The Cornell Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. It is small but comfortable and so close to shops, restaurants and parks! It is super clean and has all the amenities you need for your stay. Pat and Stefan are both very proactive and responsive to any needs or questions you might have! Have stayed before and will definitely stay again!

it was exactly as described and it had exactly what we needed. felt like being home, nice and quite neighborhood. very confortable bed abd pillos is a must for me and it was just like that! I really enjoyed staying there and would recommend it.

What a great spot!! Totally private and safe, but right by the best park in Oakland. Special bonus that there was kids books!

Definitely a great value - lovely spot in the Berkeley Hills. A couple of staircases to get down to the place, but really secluded and private and quiet. Would def book again!

Had a wonderful stay with my four-year-old daughter for my birthday. The location is lovely, being able to walk down to college Avenue. We got in quite late, I would recommend asking host to turn on the heat if you think you might come in on the later side- the radiant floors are lovely but do take some time to heat up. Great artistic touches and hosts are very responsive and helpful.

Great place to stay.

Will and Jane were excellent hosts. The back house is light filled and spotless. It’s comfortable and well organized. It was peaceful, tucked away in a garden! I loved feeding the fish. Both Will and Jane were responsive and offered a great recommendation. I know I’ll stay here every time I come to San Francisco!

Very quaint stay and Diane was very helpful and communicative!
