SF Summit House

We had a very pleasant stay in a very comfortable location. We left our hosts feeling we had stayed with friends rather than in a B&B. Every thing was excellent. The hosts went out of our way to make us comfortable. I have to say the location is a bit of a walk to the BARt system. The walk back up the hill is not recommended. Our hosts were generous with rides to compensate and there is a frequent bus from BART terminal to one block from their house. We have one suggestion. Bring a compass and warm cloths. You will be staying truly on a summit. That means constant wind but with beautiful views. The minute you step out the door you lose track of direction with all roads leading away from the summit. You will enjoy this visit..

stayed in August 2012. When the fog subsides the views from house are hard to beat. The hosts are ever so attentive and breakfast absolutely lovely. if I come back to San Francisco this is where I will want to stay.

This place was a real find, and Myles and Matthew are the best hosts I experienced on my recent trip to the USA. I felt really welcome and cared for; travelling as a woman on her own. They sent me detailed instructions on how to get to their B&B and helped me plan my sightseeing and dining - even printing out maps, etc. The location is "high on a hill" so very peaceful, with a short commute via BART to the city centre. Thanks guys!

We had a great time at Summit House in SF, thank you for your hospitality! I appreciated a pool table, although I haven't managed to play during our stay.

Room with great view. Charming hosts do their best to make to make your stay enjoyable.

We found this online and thought we would give it a go. Of course we had a car and so the location was fine and there was loads of free street parking. The view in all directions is awesome. It's like staying in a SF eclectic museum, but that everything there is designed to add to the guests SF experience. After weeks of traveling it was the first place where we felt we could really relax, made easy by the friendly hospitality of Matthew and Myles. They went the extra mile by making great suggestions on eating spots, things to see and transport options. There we so many things that we would not have discovered if it wasn't for them sitting with us at the breakfast table going over the map. Strongly recommended. We'll be back!

My persistence paid off as I diligently searched for overnight accommodations in San Francisco that would be comfortable, provide easy access from the freeway, be in a lovely location, and offer exceptional amenities without taxing our budget. I located the SF Summit House displaying one exquisitely decorated room on the web site. Immediately I called and spoke to Myles hoping that my husband and I would strike it lucky and the evening we required, May 7th 2012, would be available. It was and all arrangements and directions were promptly confirmed. On arrival, we were awed by the beauty of the location atop Merced Heights. Off in the distance we could see the Pacific Ocean, Mount Tamalpais, and San Francisco Bay. Our hosts, Matthew and Myles, greeted us warmly on our late evening arrival. They helped us with our luggage and offered us beverages and snacks while we settled into our lovely room. The Summit House is tastefully and exquisitely furnished with eclectic and fascinating art objects, furnishings, books, memorabilia, and collector items. We relaxed in the large front room on comfy couches watching through the bay window the fog roll in eclipsing the last of the sunlight. It was both relaxing and romantic, a gorgeous setting. We elected to eat out at a nearby Italian restaurant and on our return we talked for ages with our hosts who are an assiduous source of information and fascinating, intelligent conversation. Our queen bed with the lovely soft pillows beckoned and we drifted off to sleep with a cool breeze coming in the through the open window. In the morning we enjoyed our continental breakfast in the charming breakfast room and were overwhelmed by the choices provided: hot and cold cereals, fruit, yogurt, bagels, cream cheese, jellies, orange and apple juice, coffee and tea. What a wonderful stay and ideal hosts! Arona and Jim Henderson- Blaine, WA 98230
