My husband and I stayed at Michael and Keiko's cottage while we were looking for a new home. It was amazing! Michael and Keiko were wonderful hosts and responded promptly to any need or request we had. They were very knowledgeable about the area and shared their insights and recommendations with us. The house was in excellent condition, light filled, it had comfortable beds, a lovely shower and was well stocked. The deck had stunning views of the mountains and of beautiful sunsets. The location was delightful. Easy access to shopping, the freeway, hiking trails and other leisure activities. I would highly recommend this house and our hosts to all. I would definitely stay here again if the need arises.

We found and stayed in Walnut Creek, PA while visiting our son and his girlfriend who live in San Ramon. The house was beautiful and we found much to do including a great day in San Francisco with lunch in Chinatown, a visit to the Petrified Forest, Wine Tasting in Sonoma, Baker Beach and Golden Gate Lookout. The owners were on site and easily reachable with any questions. We had an absolutely wonderful time and the beautiful neighborhood of Walnut Creek and our stay will be part of our cherished memories always. We highly recommend this VRBO. Thanks, Keiko and Michael!!!!

This was a perfect, private get-away! Located in an elegant neighborhood on a nicely landscaped property. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious deck with views of the nearby hills.

Bright , comfortable, cheerful, nestled in a elegant community, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Hosts Michael and Keiko Rost were welcoming , extremely helpful, and very sensitive to our needs. Truly exceptional hospitality. Thank you Michael snd Keiko.

We loved staying at Brodia Way. It was very relaxing in between our move. Highly recommended.

Short and sweet: The property had SOME minor cleanliness issues (some hair in bathroom and bed, “clean stains” on some towels/bath mats). The location was great on property and around the area. Privacy was well established and respected. This place will not disappoint in any way! Would definitely stay again and recommend!

Finding a lovely and peaceful rental while between homes seemed like an impossible task during a pandemic and the holidays. Much to our delight, we stumbled upon the Brodia Way guest house and we could not have been more relieved and happy at the easiness, cleanliness, prompt communication and flexibility by our hosts. We loved the tranquility of the location, the proximity of trails to explore and deck to watch sunsets from. When we found ourselves in a pickle waiting for escrow to close, our wonderful hosts graciously offered to extend our stay which took away a significant amount of stress, especially during Thanksgiving! We would highly recommend staying here as it really became, and is, a mini vacation.

We were on an intense house-hunting search during our month stay at Brodia. The house is just minutes to downtown Walnut Creek (great takeout!) and Bart. Perfect! But coming home to Brodia after a stressful day meant enjoying from the deck brilliant bougainvillea, serenading songbirds, and lovely sunsets. My husband spent hours on the deck every afternoon with binoculars scanning the ridges for deer, hawks, wild turkeys and other wildlife. We installed two star-gazing apps on our phones because the night sky viewing was so great because of the low ambient light. Perfect rest and relaxation during a stressful time!

My husband and i stayed for about 3 weeks in this house and loved everything about it. Very private, beautifully decorated, lovely deck and view, newer construction. The king size bed was really comfortable. We appreciated the office/desk area and the washer and dryer. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood of high end homes with walking/biking trails easily accessible from the house. We saw wild turkeys, deer, quail, and even a bobcat! Highly recommend.

This is a lovely home in Walnut Creek. My partner and I had an excellent stay, where we worked and explored the outdoors nearby. The home is clean, beautiful, and near miles of beautiful hiking trails. A real gem of a home. Michael and Keiko are wonderful, and we had a wonderful stay.

The Brodia Garden house was everything and more that we expected! During these crazy Covid 19 times, it was refreshing to get outdoors and hike the plethora of trails near the rental. Everything was just as the photos in the listing shows. The owners were fantastic and responded very quickly!! We loved sitting on the back deck and watching the sunset! We will definitely stay here again if it’s available!

We loved the Brodia guest house. It had everything we needed and Mike and Keiko were such gracious hosts. Very roomy and comfortable. We felt very fortunate to find such a place to stay while going through the challenges of searching for a new home after we sold ours.

We enjoyed staying at Michael's place. It is in a great location, only 10 minutes away from downtown Walnut Creek. The guesthouse is spacious and homey. Michael and Keiko are friendly and helpful. Compared to the high hotel prices in the area, it is good value for the money.

Awesome experience with a beautiful house and great hosts!

I just completed a two month stay and am sorry that it was time to go. Michael & Keiko are wonderful hosts; the property is spacious and beautiful, inside and out. You need a car but the reward for that is country living just around the corner from the vibrant downtown of Walnut Creek.

First and foremost the property is located in an outstanding part of Walnut Creek with beautiful views and privacy. The owners meticulously maintain the property and if you have a chance to meet them they are wonderful people. My 3 week work assignment in the region was terrific due in part to my accommodations. As an executive with a private equity firm I highly recommend this property.

Neues. komfortables kleines Haus mit grosser Terasse und schönem Ausblick. Besitzer wohnt 50 m entfernt und wenn man will ist man 100%ig privat. Schöne Spazierwege, gute Ausstattung, nette Vermieter. Haus ist für Homeoffice geeignet, Wir waren 1 Monat dort, meine Frau musste täglich nach SFO, völlig unproblematisch mit der 10 Minuten entfernten Barth Verbindung (S Bahn), dauert 30 Min. ins Zentrum, mit Auto 1 Std. Würden wir jederzeit wieder buchen.

Michael and Keiko have done a wonderful job of remodeling their ranch house into a guest house and transforming the grounds into a park. They call it the Brodia Green House, but Shangri-La, Oasis, Eden, would be apt nicknames as well. The location is ideal; just far enough away from the city to feel like country, but literally a ten or fifteen minute drive to a wide array of city amenities. The transformation occurred recently, so everything was fresh, new, and clean, with comfortable beds and furniture. A complete and good-sized kitchen with new appliances made meal prep easy as pie, and for those times when we just wanted to be couch taters, the 60” flat screen TV was much appreciated. But more appreciated than anything else about our stay was getting to know Michael and Keiko, who, as well as being gracious hosts, treated us more like friends than tenants.

The property was clean , very comfortable and well furnished. The weather during our stay was too cold to be outside on their porch, which would be very nice in warmer weather. The location is quite far from any restaurants or shops so you definitely need a car to get around. Then you have lots of restaurants to choose from in downtown Walnut Creek. Owners very friendly and helpful.

Well maintained and fully appointed guest house with a fantastic view of the nearby hills in the Shell Ridge open space, which is a only short walk away for hiking or jogging through its numerous trails. Despite being nestled in the hills it is only a short drive away from town with it great little downtown area full of restaurants, bars, shopping and movie theaters. The owners Mike and Keiko are delightful and willing to accommodate any needs you may have with your stay. This made my 2 1/2 month corporate stay a wonderful experience.

Our stay here was wonderful in the hills with wild turkeys and deer all around us. The hosts are accommodating and extremely gracious. Every tiny issue was addressed immediately and in good cheer. I spent many evenings reading on the veranda. The guest house is beautifully maintained and we felt very comfortable here. We will definitely be returning on our next trip. Mike and Keiko do a wonderful job for their guests.

The apartment is beautiful and in a gorgeous setting in the hills. We saw turkeys and deer in a quiet atmosphere. The owners are a delight...very accomodating and gracious. Any problems were immediately addressed. My husband and I will return to this property. We had a wonderful time.

The Brodia Green House is the perfect vacation rental. We stayed here for 1 1/2 months while awaiting our new home. The setting is pastoral, with beautiful sunsets observed from the deck that overlooks a garden of flowers and fruit trees. This is a very serene, quiet and private location. The hosts, Keiko and Mike, are helpful, available, yet careful to be non-intrusive. The house itself is spacious and immaculately clean and as fully equipped as one could hope for. The furniture and appliances are new & modern. The comfortable King size bed, powerful air conditioning (we stayed during the summer months) and 60" televisions made for easy living. A delightful stay that we can recommend without reservation.

As a frequent business traveler, I've tried a lot of different accommodations, including long-term stay hotels (Extended Stay America, Residence Inn, Holiday Inn Express, etc.). These are OK, but I wanted to try something different so I decided to try this "Brodia Green House". It has turned out great: wonderful facility, private, quiet, spacious, unbelievable garden and mountain views, very luxurious, well-equipped. Everything I could get in a long-term hotel, and more. And I'm still close to my business contacts in the Bay Area. A great value!! I'll be back for sure.
