Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Orinda

Such a nice, secluded hideaway! The view was as amazing as it was peaceful. My family had a great time.

Kit was a great host! She was with responses and the home was perfect for our family of four. We had no issues and will definitely stay here again when we visit our family in Alameda!

Wonderful place in a quiet location.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was peaceful and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with beautiful views. One of the biggest highlights was how welcoming they were to our pups. It made our stay even more enjoyable. Communication was excellent; they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at Caroline's Cottage while visiting our daughter that lives in the neighborhood. The Cottage is just like the pictures , very nicely decorated and not much clutter . Very comfortable beds with good linens , plenty of towels too . The kitchen is fully equipped to have meals at home if you so wish to do so. The house feels very peaceful and is very quiet , we loved that ! Caroline was a very friendly , responsive and helpful host . We did not encounter a single problem the whole time we stay there. We will definitely be back . Thank you , Caroline for hosting us.

Tim’s place was clean, comfortable, and well situated. The neighborhood is quiet, but and large. Bed/s are comfortable. My one complaint would be the downstairs neighbor was a bit noisy, but only on the last night. It sounded like they were having a party down there until 1am and I could smell weed emanating from below. Otherwise, I had a very peaceful stay.

Kevin and Catherine's place is exactly as pictured. They were incredibly responsive during our stay and went above and beyond to accommodate my twin infants. The outdoor amenities for kids were fantastic—super kid-friendly! We’d love to stay again.

So cute, a storybook cottage, indeed. I looked forward to every minute we spent there. We had amazing natural preserves, restaurants, and shopping to choose from - a big draw, but we looked forward to all the time relaxing in this cottage, especially in the evening.

This was our second time staying at Tara and Reid's listing while travelling for work. Which speaks volumes of how great their listing and location is, on Potrero Hill! The photos are exactly what it looks like; I'm almost reluctant to shout this out for fear that it'll be booked our next time we visit SF again.

An excellent address. The serene garden retreat is very cosy and comfortable extremely well situated. The owner is very nice and responsive. I recommend it highly

Heather's place was stylish, comfortable, generous in size, and extremely convenient for visiting my daughter at UC Berkeley. I especially appreciated the desk by a lovely window where I could do some work. I hope I can stay here again!

This is such a lovely studio. Super comfy and spotless. The bed is very comfy, the kitchenette was just right for making a quick breakfast, and I loved the deck - could have lounged on the deck chairs for days enjoying the sun and the view. The neighborhood is gorgeous. Quiet but inviting, with some very impressive architecture, and several fantastic little local parks. Everything is pretty steep in the area, and it makes you feel like you're in a different world from the rest of the city. Jan was very responsive and helpful, and we had exactly the relaxing weekend we needed.

great location. Beautiful neighborhood. Nice host. Private, quite and relaxing. Had a great night sleep. Id stay again.

This was my first stay at an Airbnb ever. I spent a month here and it was great. The place is spacious, clean and well-stocked with all the necessities, including in the kitchen. The location is convenient to both Berkeley and Oakland, including the Ashby BART station, Berkeley Bowl and a local gym called Berkeley Barbell Club. I can’t imagine a better host than Joe. He usually responds to any message within minutes, and is proactive in dealing with any issue or answering any question. All in all, I highly recommend it.

This is the best Airbnb I have ever seen. I booked this for my friends that were visiting the Bay Area for the first time. They loved staying at Renzo's 'Gem #1' home! I will not ruin all of the surprises that come with staying at this property. Such a great stay and host!

Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

Nice quiet house, spacious room. The host is very kind and hospitable. Anytime this room is available, I will surely make a reservation.

What a peaceful retreat! Perfect for two people as a home base during a bay area trip. The view was wonderful, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. Couldn't ask for anything else. Would 100% stay here again.

Once you open the door, you are transplanted into a space where a breath is taken and a breath is held. If you are seeking a calmness, this home is the one. Pride of ownership is evident in the furnishings, personal touches and in the whole home itself. Didn’t want our stay to end.

My friends and I stayed at Seaon’s home for about a week and we felt right at home. It was a cozy spot with a beautiful outdoor porch and garden to hang out in. There was enough beds for four adults and a baby. Seaon was very easy to communicate with and also responsive when we discussed anything regarding the house. The neighborhood was fairly quiet during our stay which is always nice. We drove to Oakland, San Francisco, and parts of wine country from the house and found it to be in a good central location. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your group.

A great stay from start to finish. Any issues encountered were few, minor, and quickly addressed. The unit was nice and well kept, private, and had clear, written instructions upon arrival. Everything we needed was provided, and the hosts were very polite, friendly, responsive, and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Had an amazing stay at Gina’s house for a girls retreat weekend. The house is amazing with really good vibes! Kitchen was fantastic for cooking group meals and overall could not have asked for a better place!

Another wonderful stay in this beautiful and welcoming home. We look forward to returning whenever it’s available!
