Tucked away in Oakland’s Dimond District, this charming retreat sits in a lush urban oasis with serene views of towering redwoods and the Oakland Hills. The hummingbird-friendly garden is a vibrant mix of California native succulents, blooms, Blue Flame agaves, cabbage tree palm, a fragrant Meyer lemon tree–all providing a botanical retreat.

For outdoor lovers, nearby activities include cycling, jogging, hiking, archery, and even horseback riding. Free street parking is available, and Bay Area bus lines are a 5-minute walk away.
