About this house rental
Built in 1944, the Hobbit house is one of the first sustainable homes in California ... designed and built by "green" architect Carr Jones. All of the building materials were reused and recycled: all bricks are reminiscence from the 1908 earthquake in San Francisco, the wood was repurposed from old ships, and the metalwork is the product of old anchor chains.
The home is comfortably appointed with Jones’ trademark brickwork, unique roofing, radiant heated floors, and rusticated lumber. A truly spectacular example of amazing craftsmanship and creative design sensibilities.
The house is uniquely divided into two spaces, separated by a charming courtyard and pool. In the main house {2 story}, you will find the master loft bedroom, kitchen, with an open area downstairs. The second one-story building (1100. sq ft) has two bedrooms, a sitting area, with 2 fireplaces. and 1.5 bathrooms.

Great house. Super unique but very comfortable and lots of different spaces to sit and enjoy. Clean and in a safe neighborhood. Host was super responsive.

We enjoyed our Christmas stay with family. Adult kids loved the pool table. We had to use the coffee table for dining b/c it was cold, windy and rainy outside where the only dining table was. The bedrooms were comfortable, the shower had good water pressure and there was a good supply of toiletries.

What a treat to stay at a part of California’s architectural history! This house is unusual and very nicely kept up. Clearly significant old houses are a labor of love for these hosts. Family was visiting us (we live nearby in a house too small to host) from Canada over what turned out to be a very soggy holiday week. But this house with its radiant heat floors and working gas fireplace is warm and comfortable. We loved that it was decorated for the holidays -even a tree! The pool is not heated but works great as a cold dip with the steam room so the brave guest should definitely pack a suit even in winter. This will be my go-to “extra home” for guests going forward.

We made a full on steak dinner for my mother’s 95 birthday celebration. The kitchen was well equipped for this event. My only sadness is the lack of a dining room table. If the weather had been good, we’d have eaten outside. Loved the radiant heat floors! Loved the fireplace! Loved the neighborhood!
