Lovely home and host
Property was beautiful and cozy! The host John was very kind and helpful! Met us the night we arrived and gave a quick tour and literally thought of everything, from toiletries, grill, coffee and just about everything you need. They also have two dogs that share the yard and were the sweetest! If we make the trip back we will definitely try and stay again.

A haven in the Oakland hills
This is a great spot for R&R with a hiking trail head right next door to the property and the trails lead to some spectacular views of the bay. The property itself was immaculate- the owner seemed to have thought of everything we would ever need and more! The living space was airy and ever so comfortable with a lovely patio overlooking a beautifully terraced backyard. Will definitely return!

Weekend Retreat
John and Jill were great hosts. The house is spacious and you can tell a great amount of detail was put into this home away from home extending from the interior space to the beautiful backyard with a large deck for relaxing and taking in the scenic views. There is also a nice trail across from the home to get a quick workout or a nice sunset stroll. Look forward to coming back.

Spectacular hillside home away from home.
My wife and I spent two weeks at this lovely location in the Piedmont Pines section of Oakland while she recovered from surgery. Hosts were more than accomodating and made us feel right at home from day one. The views of the mountains are spectacular from nearly every window in the place, and the trail right across the street leads to a breathtaking vista of the Bay. Modernly appointed and with every amenity you could ever need, it's a great place to stay if you're ever in the California Bay Area.

Wonderful!
Had a fantastic stay. Easy check- in, great communication, lovely spaces, very comfy bed. The steam shower was a revelation. Loads of room. We will stay again if we find ourselves back in the Bay Area. Thanks!

Beautiful Retreat!
My friends and I loved our time at the Kinney Castle. It's a peaceful and relaxing place with a hiking trail directly across the street and stunning views. Communication was great. We would most certainly stay here again!

Beautiful Escape in the Woods
This is a beautiful, well-kept place with lots of amenities. The hosts were very welcoming and communicative. It has beautiful views of the redwoods outside, but is still very close to the freeway. One thing to note for those with kids is there is no bathtub. A wonderful stay overall!

Perfect Retreat!
So many wonderful things about this lovely little rental, we thoroughly enjoyed staying here over a long weekend. The place is peaceful, perfectly appointed with absolutely anything you could need, roomy but still cozy. The deck and the view are spectacular, the bed in the main bedroom very comfortable, loved the Nespresso machine! And the brief visit from the resident pups made our day. Extremely helpful owner who gave us a nice tour and was there for anything you might need while there, but never intrusive. Honestly I wish we could have stayed longer just to enjoy the space but we were there for a whirlwind weekend wedding and didn't get to hang out very much!
