If the idea of staying in an adorable (and tiny) "off-the-grid" cabin (no electricity) located close to everything the Bay Area has to offer appeals to your sense of adventure, this is the place for you. Located just behind the main house where you'll have 24-hour access to the bathroom and kitchen for making coffee or tea. Battery lantern and tiny generator for charging your stuff. Simple.

The 8 x 10 primitive cordwood garden cabin sleeps a single person (or a cuddlesome couple) comfortably. There's an antique iron extra-long twin bed, a chest of drawers, and a small amount of hanging space. You might feel cramped with a large suitcase inside. There is NO ELECTRICITY or HEAT (there is wifi, though), but the down comforter will keep you toasty. Equipped with a battery-powered lantern with a phone charger for your use.
NOTE: The kitchen and shared bathroom are in the main house. Please do not eat or leave food in the cabin. It will attract mice!!
Limit 2 guests.
The cabin is located in the garden behind the main house. A walkway skirts the brick patio between the cabin and porch, where you’ll use the kitchen door to enter the main house. You'll have access to the kitchen (to make coffee or tea only--no cooking) and SHARED bathroom in the main house throughout your stay. Because the bathroom is SHARED, it’s helpful to coordinate morning showering schedules.
Since the cabin has NO ELECTRICITY, you are welcome to use the kitchen outlets as needed to charge devices. The lantern in the cabin (which includes a USB port) may be recharged as needed.
The sliding cabin door has a padlock you may use (most guests do not bother) and there’s a chain on the inside for security. There are 6’ tall fences surrounding the back of the house. I have lived here 24 years and have never had a security issue.
I have an affectionate mini-poodle named Gilly, who is residing there.
I'll generally be around during your stay and will help you get situated and comfortable with the lighting in the cabin. You are welcome to make coffee or tea in the morning (or anytime) if you like.
