My wife and I spent two weeks at this lovely location in the Piedmont Pines section of Oakland while she recovered from surgery. Hosts were more than accomodating and made us feel right at home from day one. The views of the mountains are spectacular from nearly every window in the place, and the trail right across the street leads to a breathtaking vista of the Bay.
Modernly appointed and with every amenity you could ever need, it's a great place to stay if you're ever in the California Bay Area.
Had a fantastic stay. Easy check- in, great communication, lovely spaces, very comfy bed. The steam shower was a revelation. Loads of room. We will stay again if we find ourselves back in the Bay Area. Thanks!
My friends and I loved our time at the Kinney Castle. It's a peaceful and relaxing place with a hiking trail directly across the street and stunning views. Communication was great. We would most certainly stay here again!
This is a beautiful, well-kept place with lots of amenities. The hosts were very welcoming and communicative. It has beautiful views of the redwoods outside, but is still very close to the freeway. One thing to note for those with kids is there is no bathtub. A wonderful stay overall!

About the host
Hosted by John Kinney
My parents were in the Navy and also operated their own Bed & Breakfast. My wife and I have built 100 athletic clubs all focused on high quality service so we love hospitality.
Why they chose this property
We love having a quiet neighborhood with direct access to one of the best trailheads in the East Bay. We're close to shops in Montclair, Piedmont, and Berkeley, yet our house feels like we are in the woods.
What makes this property unique
This is a big home with great decks surrounded by trees. Our dog loves the freedom from a fenced yard and she protects us from the wild turkeys.
