A home away from home

This is a lovely, comfortable, clean and well supplied "home away from home." The hosts are welcoming, available if needed and genuinely interested in making your time there enjoyable.

Beautiful neighborhood/great location

This ADU is in the owners beautiful expansive back yard and is walking distance from Montclair village. The ADU had a great layout and felt very open and roomy. The hosts thought of everything we could have needed and more. This was probably the best vrbo/rental we have ever stayed in.

One of our favorite vacation rentals ever.

This aesthetically pleasing, contemporary design has many unique features which are delightful. Fixtures, furniture, linens, and well-stocked kitchen are high-end; the unit is bright and sunny with easy access to two outdoor spaces; the private back patio has smart shades and a large slider easily linking indoor and outdoor spaces. Despite being a studio, the bedroom area is quite private due to the clever architectural design. And the large walk-in shower is phenomenal! We would definitely stay here again!

Montclair Casita

The family was very nice and flexible. Communication was quick. The unit was well stocked and they left a cinnamon bread treat. Nice private view from unit. You do have to walk thru backyard to get to unit but we loved it overall. The unit was brand new, and clean. Will stay there again.

Couldn’t Ask for Better Hosts

Greg and Gail’s ADU exceeded our expectations. The listing is accurate, and doesn’t do the property justice! I almost hate to write this review because I don’t want this listing to be booked the next time we are in town! The ADU is conveniently located near restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, you name it. Everything is within walking distance. Greg and Gail are wonderful hosts! After spending three weeks in their unit, we feel like we have gained new friends. My boyfriend and I got engaged while there, and Gail and Greg joined us in celebrating with a bottle of champagne. Their thoughtfulness can also be felt in the unit with all of the amenities and personal touches. My fiancé and I definitely hope to return in the future!

Gem in Montclair

Fantastic place to stay! located in a beautiful neighborhood, this property is very well thought out and has a great feel to it's space. I love how it fills with natural light. The owners are wonderful and very helpful (and their pup Chewy is a cutie pie). The unit has great privacy, well appointed, and the kitchen is awesome (note - it does not have a TV, so be sure to bring something to stream on)! The unit is very close to Montclair's shopping area - I walked there almost everyday. Great restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, workout spots (there's also a walking trail nearby), and more. Highly recommend.

Peaceful sanctuary

Staying here was like my own high-end, relaxed treehouse. Designed with beauty and efficient functionality, you are immediately comfortable and settle into your private world for your stay. The open floor plan features an entire floor to ceiling wall of windows which slide open to a wooden deck. The view is devoid of houses and with the slider open you hear the neighboring birds calling out. It was the perfect sanctuary for me as I oversaw the last week of my house renovations – escaping chaos for private calm. The kitchen was stocked with high quality implements every cook loves and the range was a dream. The meandering path up to the ADU provided a vegetation exploration of fun trees, plants and veggies – eye candy for gardeners. And if you are lucky, you will occasionally bump into Greg, Gail and/or Chewey for a quick chat (and pet in Chewey’s case) – great way to start the day! It is a short walk to Montclair Village providing easy access to varied restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, essentials (groceries, banking, drug stores) and even spa services! Wonderful hiking along the ridge of the East Bay hills is fantastic through the park system. And San Francisco is ~25 minutes away if so inclined. This location is on my “keeper list” for visitors… or even a getaway when I need it again.

A truly wonderful place to stay

From top to bottom, everything about our stay at this property was great. From the big picture things like check in/check-out details to the small add-ons like a wine bottle and freshly ground coffee beans, our stay here was top notch. It is clear a lot of intention went into creating the guest house and the experiences of the guests. This property came with more than I have had in a similarly priced hotels/bnbs. The kitchen had plenty of equipment to appropriately cook home meals with as well as nice utensils and silver ware. Although, a few notes: if the oven is on, trying to light one of the gas burners causes all of them to try and light at the same time; and, the space is small, so cooking anything slightly smokey is likely to set the smoke alarm off (opening the doors, windows, and using the microwave fan helped). The living room's floor to ceiling sliding doors were nice enough but the mechanically operated curtains were an unexpected cherry on top. The bedroom's simplicity was perfect for the space -- a comfortable bed, sky lights, and plenty of outlets and endtable space. The space also has a medium-sized closet with a hamper, vacuum, extra-bedding for the pullout couch, and plenty of hangers and space to put your clothes. The bathroom was clean and updated; equipped with shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, three different types of towels including one for your face, and plenty of space to hang. The host were very responsive and accommodating.

beautiful, light-filled private and spacious zen-like retreat

I am completely smitten with this place and the owners who live in the front house. I spent 3 weeks surrounded by mature trees and gorgeous gardens in a new ADU, architecturally designed and professionally interior designed—constructed at the opposite end of the property with everything you could wish for to make your stay comfortable, down to Alexa powered shades and music. Cosy couch, check. (good for napping) Cosy bed, check. Cooks kitchen with highest quality appliances, check. Entire wall of ceiling-high sliding glass doors looks out onto the forested hillside. Sunny front deck, view of garden and hills of Montclair. Birdsong every morning. I got lucky and heard owls one night. Walk in closet with everything you will need to be comfy, clean, and organized. Bath with walk in shower with hot water on demand. Impeccably clean, new construction in the past 2 years. Gail and Greg were down to earth friendly, professional, and gave me complete privacy and were also available if needed. We discovered we had friends in common, and also gardening interests. Just minutes to Berkeley and Oakland. Beyond my expectations!

Beautiful inside and out.

Overall good experience. May not be great for remote workers. They were using an unusual internet solution. Instead of a typical home WiFi network, it was like the hotel style where you’re redirected to a login portal. I experienced similar problems as when working out of a hotel (ie. session timeouts). But if I was strictly on vacation I would gladly come here again. The kitchen is well stocked and the garden is beautiful.
