Elizabeth and Philip were delightful hosts who met us at the door when we arrived later than expected. The name of the house, The Prancing Pony, is quite fitting for a home that has housed so many tired travellers from far and wide. They were a pleasure to speak with and had plenty to share about the travelling life. The beds were quite comfortable as was the room. We were in town for a concert at The Fox Theater which is only a short distance from their home. I would highly recommend their home to all travellers making their way West (or East) though Oakland.
