GUEST ACCESS
You have access to the entire cottage minus one closet for cleaning supplies. You also have a private deck and can use the path down to the creek. The grassy area and the large deck are not for guest use.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
We live in the main house on the same lot. The cottage is set towards the back of the property line, around 50-60 feet from the main house. You may hear or see our family when we are in the backyard.

If you would like cleaning service during your stay, we can help you book with our cleaner at your own expense.

As the cottage often serves as a monthly rental (which is reflected in the lower price), we will provide supplies (i.e. coffee, cooking oil, paper towel, toilet paper, detergent, etc) for the first week or two only. If you stay for more than 30 days, you will need to buy your own supplies for the rest of your stay (no refills). This does not apply to short term bookings of less than 30 days for which we will provide supplies for your entire stay.

If your reservation request is far in advance, we may not be able to accept it, as we aim to minimize gaps between stays. For stays shorter than 40 days, we can typically accept reservations only if they fall within a couple of weeks of the most recent occupied date shown on our calendar. We are sorry in advance if we can't accept your reservation request.

    Our family booked this home for 2 weeks of the messiest part of our home renovation. I didn’t realize how grateful I was for closets and an extra bathroom! Minha and Adam’s attention to detail stands out, and all the thoughtful supplies they left were very appreciated! I gave 4stars for accuracy of description because this place is far better than the modest description - and because it didn’t mention that it shares the property with another location (which led to some confusion). Close to amenities and trail, plenty of parking, clean and tastefully decorated - overall, this place is a win! I’d recommend it, and I’d keep it in mind when family come to visit.

    Stayed for a week to visit family nearby. The cottage was a great home base. Very convenient to Walnut Creek and East Bay (Berkeley, etc.). Trail was great to get our excercise in, but also just a cute neighborhood to walk through. Plenty of restaurants and amenities in Lafayette. Cottage was clean and adequately stocked. Very quiet neighborhood.

    Thank you Minha and Adam, we had a fantastic stay! The property and cottage are exactly as described and in a great neighborhood. The beds were super comfortable, we wanted for nothing in the kitchen, and checking in and out was a breeze. Would definitely recommend booking this property!

    Lovely creekside cottage, nicely located. Had everything we could need. Easy to get to San Francisco, and Lafayette is a delightful small town.

    Our trip to Lafayette was part of a family meet up with those who live near by. We chose the creekside cottage for its location to family in Diablo, 2 bed and 2 bath set up. Also the nearness to the trail and stores/restaurants. The cottage had easy access and reserved parking located in a quiet, cute neighborhood. The hosts were easy to get a hold of, helpful and nice to talk to. We enjoyed our stay!

    My husband and I, and another couple travelled from Australia to visit our sons who play basketball for St Mary’s College and we couldn’t have been happier with our 2 week stay! Our experience was seamless - from the initial booking of the property and for the entire duration of our stay. Minha and Adam were very responsive with communication and exceptionally accommodating with our requests. The cottage was very comfortable, located at the rear of the main residence in a quiet street close to shops, restaurants and walking trails. We had a designated parking space and we could come and go as we needed with ease. It was very clean and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable, the heating was perfect and all the necessities you need whilst being away from home were available - Minha had thought of everything. We loved our stay at the cottage and would definitely recommend the property to friends and family for a short or long term stay! Thank you!!

    This creekside cottage has the best location to the Lafayette Walking Trail and the best-appointed kitchen that I have ever rented. We cooked dinner here and had everything we needed. The owners have gone to such lengths to make sure you are happy. We stayed here for 4 nights and were perfectly comfortable. If I needed a place to stay in the charming town of Lafayette, I would stay here!
