Beautifully Kept Hillside Retreat!
We're so blessed to have found such a wonderful place to stay during Mills College's 125th commencement where our daughter received her masters degree. Our family was able to join us there after ceremonies for a fantastic brunch, enjoying the expansive vista views of Oakland, the San Francisco Bay, both city's skylines, all the while relishing this home's thoughtful amenities, open feel, the outdoor deck and lush gardens.
As the evening approached, the views from the house and deck brought a new mood as the night-lit skylines of the cities below, emerged then merged with the peaceful tranquility of the quiet neighborhood. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than this--after everyone had headed home & everything's settled down--it was time for bed. And oh what comfortable beds they are! (We only slept in one, but you could tell that the other one would be just as nice!) The owner's tastes and attention to detail were again expressed by providing down-filled/foam mattress pad tops covered with high-quality linens...all combined to make for a truly good night's sleep!
We felt so relaxed and refreshed even with the big graduation event headlining our stay! As a matter of fact, we liked being there so much that we asked if we could stay another night and they said yes!
If you want a fresh perspective on an upcoming stay in the Bay Area with easy access to everything you'd expect to do while visiting, plus the added bonus of a refreshing retreat to come "home" to while you're there, this is the place for you!!!
