Quaint and cozy in-law unit nestled near the 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 deck space with outdoor seating area. Perfect for solo travelers or couples with a young child.
Enjoy peaceful forest views and wake up to chirping birds on your private deck. Unwind with a book, a drink, or movie on Roku TV.
Just minutes drive from Montclair Village up a winding narrow road near endless hiking and biking trails, enjoy convenient access to Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area.
The space
Nearby are towering redwood trees in a tranquil forest setting while having access to what the Bay Area has to offer.
Guest access This is a private studio attached to the back of the main house with expansive weathered redwood decks with outdoor sitting area overlooking the trees view.
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 9 concrete outdoor steps 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 roaming in the neighborhood.

Perfectly Perfect
Our adult kids live nearby, so we were looking for a cozy place to stay for our visits. This cute place was perfect. Nestled in the hills, surrounded by trees was the perfect place for us. Easy access, but away from the noise of downtown. A hideaway. Felt like a vacation, even if our three night visit was short. We’d recommend for anyone.

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.

Tree House
Lovely room with limited, but very good amenities. The hostess greeted me when I arrived and showed me a few things about the room. Parking space is very limited up in the hills there, but she had marked off some space on the street with construction cones, so it was never a problem.

Not quite what I expected.
The property was very clean, efficient and was definitely 'treetop'. I don't think the original post clarified the steep steps, narrow road and isolated location. The online listing has been updated.

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.

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.

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.

Quiet retreat
We booked this property to stay in while visiting relatives in Oakland. It's a cute studio surrounded by beautiful trees up in the hills. Some people may find the location difficult to find at first, especially in the dark, but once you do, it's easy to return. The street parking was fine - we just used the cones the owner left to designate the spot. The neighborhood is very quiet, without a lot of light pollution at night. This property is on a hillside, so you have to go down some steep steps to enter it; there's also some uneven ground at the top of the stairs. Anyone with mobility/balance issues needs to keep this in mind. The property is immaculately clean, with a lot of nice amenities like a seating area out on the deck, a table with chairs within, a big sofa, and color TV. While there is not a stove, there is a small refrigerator and microwave, as well as plates, cups, and utensils for two. The bathroom is a good size with a spacious shower and a lot of lush towels. The only drawback was the bed. It is a split king, meaning two twin mattresses made up with king size bedding. That means there is a channel down the middle of the bed. Also, it's clear that one side has been slept in more often than the other, so that mattress is condensed. Not a problem if there's only one person, but it does mean one side is about 1.5" lower than the other. We were able to make do and we had a very comfortable stay.
