Looking for a temporary home swap — Trinity Alps ➜ San Francisco (near UCSF)
Hello everyone. I’m hoping to connect with a kind person or family who might be open to a temporary home swap.
My wife is currently undergoing cancer treatment at UCSF, and we need a comfortable place to stay in San Francisco during her treatment cycles. Hotels have been extremely expensive, and long-term, pet-friendly housing is almost impossible to find, so I’m hoping someone might be open to a home exchange.
In return, we are offering our A-Frame cabin in the Trinity Alps, surrounded by the Trinity National Forest.
🌲 Cabin Highlights
• Cozy A-frame cabin
• Starlink internet
• Fireplace
• Washer & dryer
• Big wrap-around porch
• Fire pit
• Fenced yard (dog friendly)
• Pine trees, fresh air, stars & pure peace
Trinity Center Ca 96091
About our cabin:
🌲 Surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest
🔥 Cozy fireplace + classic mountain cabin charm
📡 High-speed Starlink internet
🔌 Backup generator for winter storms
💧 Clean, quiet, peaceful — true nature escape
🎣 Close to Trinity Lake (fishing, swimming, boating)
🥾 Endless hiking trails in every direction
❄️ Stunning winter scenery — snow, rain, forest
🐾 Pet-friendly (dogs welcome!)
🌳 Fenced backyard perfect for dogs
✨ A peaceful retreat far from city stress
We are looking for someone in San Francisco (any neighborhood near UCSF Parnassus or Mission Bay) who might be open to swapping their home, apartment, or guest unit.
Important note:
We have two Toy Poodles — tiny, clean, non-shedding, extremely well-behaved.
They would need to stay with us.
Your place doesn’t have to be normally dog-friendly — just open to letting our two little ones stay during treatment windows.
We are respectful, responsible, clean, and flexible. We travel to the city often already for medical appointments, so we can meet in person, video chat, or do a walk-through of each other’s homes.
This swap would help us tremendously during the hardest moment of our lives.
If you or anyone you know might be interested in talking about a possible exchange, please reach out.
We’d love to connect and create something fair and comfortable for both sides.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. 💛
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Alicia, Adriana, Oliver, Luna
A little about us
Honestly, I could write a whole bestselling novel about us — but here’s the short version. We’re an easygoing, outdoorsy couple from Northern California. Adriana is originally from Venezuela and loves her scuba diving, and I’m happiest anywhere there are horses. We work in real estate together, we love to travel, and — as you’ll see from our photos — we’re total animal people. We’re simple, kind, fun, and respectful, and we’d love to connect with someone just as down-to-earth as we are.
