Long-Term Rental and Overflow Space for Family

We were not searching for an ADU, we just wanted a house big enough for our family of three (or four if you count our 15 pound, geriatric but lovable pug, Buckley). When we found the home, we didn’t understand the ADU’s financial potential. We liked the house and the lot, the granny unit was a bonus. The two things I always say are: it is great financially and provides great flexibility.

Because the ADU is so close to the main house, we mostly rent to people for a couple months at a time. We have had lots of international folks come and stay, mostly interning in the wine industry. It’s been nice to meet them. Someone from France, someone from Chile. A guy from China left a big cleaver in the kitchen that we now use all the time.

When not being rented out, we host family members. They are from the east coast and up early, making coffee and noise. It works for everyone for them to stay longer because they can retreat to their own space.
