Just a lovely few blocks' walk from Shattuck Street shops and restaurants, this is the perfect B&B for a work or vacation stay! Inside, Yuko's Indonesian and Japanese wall hangings soothe the soul, and, just outside the door, garden greens and flowers blend with Mort's organic sculptures and a coi pool to warm the heart. Step out the front gate... More

In town for a four day workshop, I was looking for something that would allow me to relax and clear my mind while getting work done. This was the perfect setting. The cottage is artistically decorated, and comfortable, and the hosts were accomodating. Plus, the walk into the yard each evening immediately clears the mind, with the sculpture gardens and... More

The cottage is private and quiet - I slept soundly and never heard any traffic or voices. Only two blocks from shops, farmer's market, and restaurants. The hosts provide every amenity imaginable - and the facility is spotless. Beautiful decor, surrounded by gardens and trees, and yet not far from the UC campus and city life. They provided home made... More

The hosts, Mort and Yuko, do everything possible to ensure your comfort without intruding in your space! The cottage is wonderfully clean and has a refrigerator handy to store... More

We love the Garden Cottage. We have stayed here 3 times, each time for 3-5 days. It is an oasis of calm in the midst of an active, urban setting. The cottage is well behind the main house surrounded by beautiful gardens and sculptures created by Mort, one of the owners. Mort and his wife Yuko are delightful people who... More

We loved the garden cottage at this B&B. Wonderful space, great bed, clean. Hosts were attentive but not intrusive. Homemade banana bread on arrival. They do not provide breakfast but do provide enough for you to make your own coffee or tea. It was just what we wanted. The garden area is lovely and nice to sit outside and enjoy... More

A few short blocks to North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto, we found a sanctuary in the Los Flores room at the Garden Cottages. Our hosts were gracious, friendly and helpful with local insights. Between the art throughout the rooms and outdoor gardens, one feels the Berkeley experience. When the day's events were done, returning to the quiet of the neighborhood was... More
