Couldn't have asked for a better host. And this location is perfect if you want to be right in between downtown SF and wine country. This is perfect for two people. The pull-out bed in the living area was very comfortable.

Perfect!

This place is a perfect spot just over the bridge from San Francisco and close to Muir Woods which is a beautiful spot for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Eda was a fabulous hostess and made us feel right at home! She is a lovely person.

California dreaming

Quiet, private and completely self-contained small guest house that shares the owner’s lovely backyard. As a solo traveler, it was a comfortable, cozy retreat to return to at the end of active days. Pleasant neighborhood, walkable to a market and other conveniences. The owner, who was lovely and accessible, put much thought into guest needs and comfort. Wonderful week’s stay.

No detail overlooked!

Immaculate, cozy, perfect location! Great spot to regroup, take a hot tub, relax. Easy to access San Francisco, East Bay, North Bay, and Pacific Coast. Eda was an attentive host, kind soul, and offered thoughtful tips for local restaurants, shopping, and necessities. Would love to return!

My week in San Francisco

This little gem was the perfect place to stay while exploring the bay area. The full kitchen and grill were great for cooking. The hottub was a perfect way to cap off a day of adventuring. Eda was such a warm and welcoming host. She goes above and beyond to ensure her guests are well taken care of. I would absolutely stay with her again.

A small garden house but clean & quiet. We were about to visit most sites in San Francisco within 45 minutes. I traveled with my nephew & it was big enough for us,

Relaxing stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Eda's cottage. It was quiet, clean and so comfortable. The garden and sitting areas were beautiful. It was so relaxing in the evening to sit in the garden area and watch the hummingbirds fly around. Eda is very knowledgeable of the area and had many good recommendations for us. She is a very pleasant host.

The space is small but perfectly organized and utilized. The outdoor space is lovely and we made frequent use of the outdoor seating. We will definitely come back on our next trip to the Bay Area.

Eda could not have been nicer! my dog played with her two dogs every morning in the nicely fenced yard. The small cosy cottage was a perfect refuge for me while I visited local family during the holidays. Would stay again!

Great place near downtown San Rafael

We loved our week in Picnic Valley. Great little place, nice amenities and comfy bed. We loved the outside space and the hot tub! An easy walk to the downtown and groceries and restaurants. Our kids and grandkids live in San Rafael in a tiny house, so we need our own space. We will be back!
