Our sunny, secluded Oakland Hills home is perched high in the hills of Piedmont Pines with a front deck providing wonderful views of Marin County, San Francisco, the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. There are outside tables and chairs for outside dining, plus a gas barbecue. We also have a private back patio with a ping pong table.

The front deck and entry of the house is reached by 18 stairs with two landings. The house has hardwood floors, a dining room (seats 6) and living room with floor-to-ceiling windows with views of San Francisco, Marin, Golden Gate Bridge, Lake Merritt, and Alcatraz. There is also a modern, open-plan kitchen with granite countertops.

The two main floor bedrooms each have queen-sized beds, the child's room off of the master bedroom has a twin bed in the shape of a race car, and the downstairs bedroom has both a queen-sized bed and a twin bed. The main bathroom has a bathtub with shower. The master bedroom with the adjoining child's room both have French doors opening to the back patio. The master bedroom has its own bathroom with stall shower. The house is approximately 1500 square feet.

There are many books and original paintings throughout the house.

You can reach San Francisco in 20-30 minutes by car or public transportation, and the village of Montclair, with its cafes, shops and a Sunday farmers' market, is only a 2-minute drive or a 20-minute (hilly) walk from our house. Berkeley, with its great university and wonderful restaurants, is only a 10-minute drive. Our house is very popular for hosting families of UC Berkeley students for events such as graduation.

This neighborhood of Oakland is called Montclair. It's in the hills, and although close to city life in Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco, it's quite green and natural here, with many trees, deer, birds (and bird and hummingbird feeders), and hiking trails. We are only a five minute drive up the hill to the vast redwood parks including Redwood Regional Park, Joaquin Miller Park, and Sibly Park. We are well-stocked with brochures detailing the various nearby Oakland and Berkeley parks.

    It took me a little while to get used to being in the house that they live in. They moved out for our stay. Once I did I found it comfortable. Lots of books and kid friendly.Very friendly and responsive host.

    Our family of five had an amazing week in the area and were so impressed with this house. It was incredibly well appointed with everything we needed during our stay. We cooked several meals and enjoyed the outdoor areas. The neighborhood was very quiet, and we enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels. The hosts were able to provide some gluten free dining recommendations, and both the bakery and Italian restaurant we tried were stellar. After our days of adventuring, this house truly felt like a home to return to. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

    We very much enjoyed our stay in Montclair. The view was incredible and the home was well appointed. Our 2 and 5 year old appreciated the doll house and other small toys. The neighborhood was safe and in a wonderful location close to amenities and freeway access. We would love to stay again for return visits!

    Our family of four (kids ages 5 and 8) really enjoyed our stay in this neat house in the Oakland hills. We loved the view of the bay and loved that the home had everything we needed, from kitchenware to kids toys and more. The hosts were super easy to communicate with and very generous with helping to make our stay easy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

    A comfy house with windows across the front of the house giving you a panoramic view of San Francisco Bay. A five-minute drive to all Montclair Village has to offer, and very close to the East Bay’s best parks and trails. The private back deck is a retreat.
