Stay in an iconic, custom Airstream powered by solar, set in a beautiful Berkeley backyard between Elmwood and Rockridge. This thoughtfully designed tiny home delivers a one-of-a-kind experience for Airstream lovers and adventurous travelers, with a comfortable sleeping area, kitchenette, and spa-style bathroom with bidet. Enjoy a large shared backyard with hot tub and seating—perfect for unwinding after exploring the Bay Area. Rare, memorable, and unlike anything else.
The space
This custom, solar-powered Airstream is a thoughtfully designed tiny home that blends iconic vintage style with smart, modern comfort. Set in a peaceful backyard setting, it offers a truly unique stay for guests who appreciate design, simplicity, and intentional living.
Sleeping & Living
The Airstream comfortably sleeps two guests. The main sleeping area features a cozy, well-appointed bed designed for restful nights. In addition, the dinette converts into a second sleeping space, allowing flexibility for different sleeping preferences. By day, the dinette serves as a comfortable spot for meals, work, or relaxing; by night, it easily transforms into a bed.
Dinette & Interior Layout
The interior layout is efficient and inviting, making excellent use of every inch. Large windows bring in natural light and connect the space to the garden outside, helping the Airstream feel open rather than cramped. Seating, storage, and surfaces are all intentionally placed for ease and comfort.
Kitchenette
The kitchenette is well equipped for a stay of this size, with space for preparing simple meals, snacks, and coffee. It’s perfect for light cooking before heading out or winding down after a day exploring the neighborhood.
Bathroom
The bathroom is unusually comfortable for an Airstream, featuring a shower and a bidet, along with quality finishes that elevate the experience well beyond a typical camper stay.
Outdoor Space
Guests have access to a large shared backyard with seating areas and a hot tub, creating a relaxing outdoor extension of the Airstream. It’s a wonderful place to unwind, read, or enjoy the evening air.
Airstream Experience
Powered by solar, this Airstream offers a quiet, independent feel while still providing modern comfort. Staying here is not just about where you sleep—it’s about experiencing the charm and cult appeal of Airstream living in one of Berkeley’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to the Airstream, which is privately situated in the backyard of the property and accessed through a dedicated garden entrance. You’ll have your own space to come and go comfortably during your stay.
The backyard and hot tub are shared amenities on the property and are available for guest use. These areas are designed for relaxation, and we kindly ask guests to be respectful of others and observe posted quiet hours.
The main house is not included in guest access.
We offer paid on-site parking for $35 per day. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you'd like to reserve a parking space, please let us know in advance so we can add it to your reservation, subject to availability.
Self check-in makes arrival simple and flexible.
We aim to give you independence, comfort, and clarity—so you can relax and enjoy the experience from the moment you arrive.
Other things to note
The home is located in a walkable, lively neighborhood, so you may occasionally hear normal city sounds from nearby shops, restaurants, or street activity—part of what makes this area so vibrant and well loved.
The garden, hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor seating are shared spaces on the property. Guests are welcome to enjoy them while being respectful of others and observing posted quiet hours.

Neighborhood highlights
The home is located on College Avenue, right where Berkeley’s beloved Elmwood neighborhood blends seamlessly into Oakland’s iconic Rockridge—one of the most desirable and walkable areas in the entire Bay Area.
This stretch of College Avenue is known for its vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, lined with excellent restaurants, cafés, bakeries, wine bars, bookstores, boutiques, flower shops, and specialty food markets. It’s the kind of neighborhood where daily life feels elevated: grab a great coffee in the morning, shop for fresh ingredients from a local butcher or market, and enjoy dinner just steps from home—all without needing a car.
Elmwood offers a charming, village-like feel with tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community, while Rockridge adds energy and variety with destination dining and some of the East Bay’s most loved independent shops. Being just a couple of blocks from both neighborhoods means you get the best of each.
The location is also incredibly central. With easy access to BART and major thoroughfares, getting around the Bay Area is fast and convenient. San Francisco, downtown Oakland, UC Berkeley, and many of the region’s top destinations are all within easy reach, making this an ideal home base whether you’re here for work, exploration, or relaxation.
This neighborhood is special because it offers what so many travelers look for but rarely find: a peaceful, upscale residential setting paired with immediate access to great food, culture, and transportation. It’s a place that feels local, lively, and effortlessly convenient—and one that guests consistently fall in love with.
