Tom’s Cottage by the Lane was truly a delight to stay in for our Anniversary Weekend Vacation. Close enough to Downtown Oakland and across the bridges to San Francisco. The cottage is actually right down the street from the 2nd largest Mormon Temple in the nation, so seeing the beacon of light on the mountainside was always refreshing knowing that our cottage was right down the street.
The home has so much charm and coziness, it was hard to leave to go out and sight see for the days that we were there.
The kitchen is fully equipped, and we made use of it for dinners and breakfasts especially since the windows (and there are many) open to let in the cool morning breeze and give us views of the bay. The dining/ living area was the perfect spot to read and take in the lack of noise.
The directions to the home were accurate, and yes, every time we left the home, we had to reverse down the lane; traffic was scarce because of this.
Communication was lovely through the app and Tom’s binder was very helpful throughout our stay.
Should we visit San Francisco again, it’ll be the Cottage by the Lane we’ll want to book!
