The cottage was so much better than we expected! The check-in process was straightforward and contactless and the cottage was immaculate. My son and I loved seeing the chickens and the landscaping around the whole house was lovely. Everything was easy to use and the space was a great place to relax after hiking and exploring. It is really close to beaches and Redwood Regional Forest with all the comfort of not being in the middle of Oakland. The veiw was amazing! The deck was a nice spot to greet the day with a cup of coffee and the chickens chirping. We will definitely stay again if we ever visit Oakland again.
