Welcome to Berkeley, California! Our bungalow home with a large landscaped back garden is located in a quiet area of North Berkeley just one block from a BART (our metro) station, making it easy to get around the San Francisco Bay Area. We are a friendly household of 2 residents who are always ready to help make your stay special. In addition to our 2 guest tents, we also have a guest room where we host visitors, so there can be up to 5 of us here. Folks have loved our tents for over 10 years, and we love hosting. Come stay with us and enjoy our urban oasis!
The setting
Our tents are located in our large, private, and quiet garden in the North Berkeley flatlands, very close to public transport options. The garden has been developed by the owner for the last 37 years and is filled with ornamentals and mature fruit trees, with chairs and tables for relaxing, working and eating. The WiFi works throughout the garden.
The spots
This listing is for our original guest tent, Tent #1, which is located in a private alcove in the back of the garden with its own sitting area. It's a cabin style tent with almost vertical walls, a 7' center peak, and 65 sq ft of floor space, making it a nice little room for 1 guest, or for 2 in a pinch. It has a real single bed with an excellent mattress and quality bedding, rugs on the floor, a small bedside table, and battery powered lights. Very comfy!
The sanitary facilities
You will have 24/7 access to the house, including the kitchen and bathroom. No showers after 10pm or before 6am. One shower per day allowed to conserve water.
The amenities
Our internet covers the whole house and garden, you're welcome to use our well-furnished kitchen for light cooking, and we have a charging station inside the house for your electronics. Please note that there is not power in the tent. Washer and dryer are available for a small fee.
The activities
Visitors come to Berkeley for various reasons, including the large and beautiful University of California, our 2 local botanical gardens, climbing and hiking in the hills, water sports at the Marina, wellness workshops and services, and the eclectic history. San Francisco, with all its charms and famous sights, is just a 30 minute BART ride away.
