We had two guests stay in our cottage in November2019 before listing it with VRBO and asked if they would kindly write a review of their experience for us. Here is what they said:
"We loved our week-long stay in Joe and Georgia's guest house. finding them to be warm, engaging, and generous in their hospitality. The space is welcoming and comfortable, modern, clean, and spacious. The location was perfect for us, with easy access to the freeway, shops and restaurants close by. The setting is beautiful, with lovely views into the garden and surrounding trees. We slept very comfortably in the adjacent twin beds. The kitchen is well-equipped and modern, as is the bathroom. A high level of effort and consideration by Joe and Georgia has been made -- which will reward all who visit. We highly recommend it!
Best, Dave and Doris - from Southern California"

Great stay and will be coming back!
Joe and Georgia were fantastic hosts. I was moving my son from Seattle to St. Mary’s. They let us store a couple of boxes and it was a tremendous help, as we arrived a couple of days and needed storage so that we weren’t driving around a car full of valuables. The unit was clean and the hosts were very communicative. As my son is now down here for school, I would not hesitate to book again.

Lovely tranquil retreat from the crazy world
Beautiful little house in a picturesque garden setting. Absolutely perfect location for us. I would highly recommend this place. Hosts were charming and helpful. Well equipped house although we were here for a weekend celebration in nearby Danville, so had minimal time for cooking. But nearby Diablo Foods was perfect for shopping

A serene temporary home
Again we enjoyed the peace and privacy of staying in Joe and Georgia's little cottage in the garden. It gave us a feeling of home away from home as we spent some days visiting with family and reconnecting with dear places in the Contra Costa and greater Bay Area. Generous and gracious hosts. Simple and sufficient accommodations provided just the calm we needed between. Thank you for having us back.
