North Berkeley Cottage

North Berkeley Bed and Breakfast Cottage is at the back of a beautiful garden on a quiet street in the heart of North Berkeley. We are located two blocks from Chez Panisse and surrounding shops and restaurants (click here for partial list). The University of California is only a ten minute walk away. San Francisco is a twenty minute drive and easily accessible by public transportation.

The Cottage has a living room with a queen sofabed, cable TV, DVD player, wireless internet access and private phone; a separate bedroom with queen bed; a fully equipped kitchen; a full bath; and a private deck.

The garden which surrounds the Bed and Breakfast Cottage is a special love of ours. There are several quiet seating areas for eating breakfast, reading a book, or just sitting and enjoyingthe flowers and birds.

In 1994 the garden was featured in the
Secret Gardens of the East Bay
garden tour.

Maps, travel guides, restaurant tips, and friendly advice are available.
