This is a wonderful and very private-feeling cottage a short stretch up the hills into Montclair. The cottage itself is spacious and wonderfully cozy while also VERY clean, which can be a hard combo to achieve and was especially welcome in these COVID times. Self-check-in was super easy with detailed instructions from Catherine, who checked in briefly (via the app) to see if I needed anything on the first night of my arrival. There are a lot of fantastic touches to make you feel more comfortable - heated towel rack, granola bars and instant oatmeal packs, coffee & tea, plenty of maps for the surrounding area and Bay at large. I booked this as a restful solo escape and thoroughly enjoyed the deck for sunset-gazing and side garden/basketball area for morning sun. It's SUPER quiet in the area and I only ran into Catherine once as I was leaving for a walk - it really felt quite private despite the main house being close and neighbors too. Special thanks to Catherine who was super responsive for any questions I had, including the inevitable moment I locked myself out trying to catch the sunset (be careful of the door!). I had a few zoom meetings to attend and the internet was fast and steady. If you're comfortable with a hilly walk, I recommend heading down the street to Shepherd Canyon Park, which I had to myself both days I ventured over there. (Otherwise you will need a car to get around comfortably, though food services do deliver to the address without issue.) The cottage itself at this time of year (Feb/March) is a tiny bit dark if that's of concern to you - obviously plenty of lights and even skylights, but if you're sensitive and desire a space swathed with sunlight this may not be your preference. That said again, the deck provided plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the sunshine in so I wouldn't let this in any way deter you from this amazing spot. Also a shoutout to the wonderful shower and tub that felt extra large, great water temp and pressure! Book now! Thanks, Catherine!
