The bed is a solid queen bed, though it looks skinny on the photo. It is good for single traveller, or two who enjoys sleeping in the same bed. The couch is a bit small to sleep on for average grown ups.

Outdoor space is very pleasant with comfy chairs and umbrella, and enough space for a couple of pups. It has nice breeze and the street is neither noise nor completely silent you will be aware of people enjoying their walks outside, in your own private space with a cup of tea.

Most of the hotel rooms smells old, stale with worn out carpet, my place smells fresh and clean. Everything is new, big windows. shower and bath tub is separated. picture frame tv, new appliances, high-quality solid bed and mattress, nespresso coffee maker and keurig. we strive to provide a convenient, friendly, comfortable space for the guests. a house that functions, suggests a life style, aesthetically pleasing. Nice for short term stays. People stay for two months like it as well.

The space was smaller then we expected, the kitchen and bathroom were oversized in comparison to the living and bedroom space. There is a giant water heater in the bedroom which made me slightly paranoid about gas leaks in a sleeping area so I had to inspect it to ensure it was properly vented. The furniture was really uncomfortable and the bed was really top 5 worst beds with the very flat pillows. If that could be improved it would have worked great for the price point. We had a 3 night stay and stayed 2 to go sleep at a more comfortable hotel. The yard was awesome for our dog and the place was very clean, also the dish soap was watered down but everything else was great. For the price point, it probably works for most.

Sorry to hear that it did not work for you. The water heater is electric. There is no gas in the house as Bay Area building code . The hand soap is foam one , that some times you need to shake a bit . I will switch it out , if it did not work for you , probably won’t work for others, thanks for the pillow feedback , will get a couple higher ones , I could have brought you higher ones during your stay as well

About the host

Hosted by Jen

Host profile image
Once a friend of mine said that "a good vacation is that you have a nice home to return to after", so I always clean the house before any trip, and feel fortunate to have a decent place to call home. This Henderson vacation home reflects so many ideals of mine, such as that "it is about experience not stuff","being able to be nice is a fortune", "life is not always kind, we make it so when we can", " our pride is to provide a happy time to every quests" than "most optimized operation"
I am a dreamer in many ways, I do things what I am passionate about whenever I can afford to choose, l indulge myself and people around me when I can, my aspiration is gym, to hold a perfect plank longer will be my great achievement. life can be rough at times, but I would not exchange it for any others.

Why they chose this property

built this tiny house during pandemic, when browsing through ads on local magazines, about having an ADU in bay area, picked a simple layout and started. During the process, a friend brought her architect friend, who brilliantly redesigned the inside layout, to have a bath room with separate shower, and bath tub, a bit kitchen island, a bed room, she changed the place from very modest to touch of modern and luxury when we can. I put a lot of efforts to make this place comfortable, and look nice. I splurged on the art frame tv, the bed and mattress , bar stool are of high quality. I like nespresso, also there is keurig

What makes this property unique

nice outdoor space, to sit, chill, chat, total privacy with own fence, gate, entrance and locks, main house 1.2g broadband cable. near by trails, lake park, it is a nice place to have a stay
