Quiet neighborhood - private access

ClarenceRating, 5 stars1 month ago

My wife and I stayed in Ming's place for five days while visiting our daughter and family in Moraga. We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is in a very peaceful, quiet setting. It is spacious, neat, very comfortable and very well provisioned. There is a very nice deck where we enjoyed coffee and breakfast in the morning. It is surrounded by trees and thge sounds of many birds. Ming was very responsive and gracious. We would happily stay here again.

Gorgeous Guest House with a Farmhouse Flair

HarukoRating, 5 stars3 days ago

The quaint little cottage was tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood, nestled right in the backyard of the owner's home. We absolutely loved spending some quality time together! The beds were comfortable! They were nice and firm, just how I like it. The chickens were absolutely adorable, and they were being taken care of so well! We can't recommend this place enough and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Tranquil Hilltop Zen Retreats Breathtaking - Views

ChrisRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Although my partner and I initially stayed here for practical reasons, we had such a delightful time we agreed we would enjoy returning here just to revisit the beautiful surroundings and the kindness of the host. Although the space, as advertised, is ideal for individuals, it was also really quite comfortable for a couple used to traveling and with a focus on study, meditation or career. From the stunning sunrises set to a chorus of beautiful birdsong to the hospitality of the host, our stay here was a great experience and we hope to return one day, just to have the opportunity to sit in this lovely and serene garden overlooking the beautiful valley and the hills beyond.

Garden Oasis Suite with Spa and Pool, Walnut Creek

ColeenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

If you have a chance to book one of Jenny's properties, I would encourage you to do so. Of all the hosts we have encountered, she is the best. The suite was spotless and thoughtfully appointed with everything someone could want during their stay. The grounds of her home were just beautiful, a welcomed retreat from the outside world. In addition, Jenny was an incredibly resposive host. She provided great recommendation and suggestions for our visit. She was also incredibly kind to my daughter. Thank you Jenny for your warmth in welcoming is to your home.
