About this property

Cabin with Magical, Breathtaking Views in ORINDA! Mins to downtown San Francisc

The guest house is very comfortable and charming. It has an outdoor sitting area and beautiful landscapes are all designed to help you relax.

Please call for availability as the calendar is not always updated

A very short distance (3 miles) to Orinda BART station, fine coffee shops like Starbucks Coffee & Pete's Coffee, and other restaurants. Everything is within a short distance.

THE CABIN CAN ACCOMMODATE 2 OCCUPANTS, HOWEVER, IT IS IDEAL FOR 1 GUEST (OCCUPANT)

Ideal for those wanting to visit the San Francisco Bay Area (Oakland, Berkeley), U.C. Berkeley, fashionable shopping (Rockridge) District of North Oakland, and Shopping in Lafayette, Walnut Creek or visiting St. Mary's in Moraga during the day, but desire to find solitude in the evening. Fabulous spot for a RELAXING GETAWAY! Close to all transportation including BART (BayArea metro system)..

THE CABIN IS SURROUNDED BY LOTS OF TREES AND VEGETATION (ALMOST FOREST-LIKE). KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE FOR SMALL FOREST CREATURES AND OTHER SMALL CRITTERS.

Horrible Property owners
The wife Daisy spoke only of hoe important her job is with Wells Fargo. She was ok the first day but then it got bazaar. She claimed to only sleep 2 hours a day. I paid for 70 days to VRBO, there was to be a woman named Sara who was the property manager. I never spoke to her. There was trouble in the unit. For 2 weeks I had to open the toilet lid to get the water to flush. There were rats, a dishwasher that did not work. The dishwasher had filthy water in it that had been there for over a year. She wanted the door left open a little. And would provide me with a heavy blanket to keep the smell out. I said this is not acceptable. But she never did a thing about! Bacteria festering in there. VRBO made a mistake by sending me a check back for the place. 2 weeks after I arrived. I was charged for 2 places in Orinda. The first place was to cancelled only. I told her about this problem and she said no worries she had already been paid. The next week she was mad because VRBO took the money out of her account. I told her about this issue. I said when I get the check I will send money to VRBO. The day I received the money in my checking account. I was to send to Vrbo. However so got a call from my sister saying my stepmother was dying. And I needed to leave then. Daisy said “You don’t leave until you write me a check”! I went to her home and was in tears, I said O am to send to VRBO. She said no write into my husband. I asked her how much? She said the same as VRBO.. I said that’s not right! VRBO pays taxes to the City of Orinda. And yoi only get 40%. I said I am deducting got the leaking water from the dishwasher that recked my new sleepers. She said no! I said I am not arguing with you anymore. She looked at me and said”I don’t care about your dying Stepmother”! I said you are a cruel woman and she turned around and walked away. That was December 4th. I left January 11th. I told her she owed me money, but she said there was no contract between us! To make a long story short. I was not out by 11. She was mad. I did leave by 3. But I had to call the police because she was very threatening. Be careful they have 14 properties in Orinda. Beware of people who work for a shady bank. I have learned my lesson and will never stay at a Vrbo again

Orinda hills cabin
“My son and his wife rented this lovely retreat for me for an extended stay. It was a quiet casita up in the Orinda hills with a spectacular view of rolling hills. I really enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful trees and lovely flowers. I went on hikes in the neighborhood and was greeted by friendly neighbors. I felt safe and cozy. An added bonus, is that the landlady “Daisy” is a very caring and sweet lady who made me feel very comfortable and responded to all my needs. I highly recommend this cabin in the woods.”

Orinda Cabin
Property is beautiful, well kept, serene. Lots of parking. Cabin was nice although not nearly as nice as the listing made it appear. Bathroom was outside, down the stairs with a teeny tiny but pretty shower and the washer/dryer are upstairs and in the back of the carport. Floor tiles were cracking, rodent problem and very musty smell which we later figured out was due to a big leak from the kitchen sink. Property owner was responsive to internet issues and other requests.

Don’t rent this property
From rodent issues at check in to an insensitive property owner. From appliances that didn’t work to a property manage that was rude & inaccurate with her responses. I’d rather live under a bridge than rent this property again.
