Property Description
This is a sweet retreat nestled in the eucalyptus trees, a 5-10 minute drive from hiking trails in the Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, Muir Beach and Green Gulch Farm, 15 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. This large studio is the lower unit of a house built in 1965. My wife and I live upstairs, above this apartment - You may hear us moving about. Recently renovated with new furniture, the apartment is fresh, light-filled and private. Surrounded by trees, it truly feels like a private haven. The small kitchenette has a Coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave oven, and toaster. It is not setup for cooking. Perfect for weekend getaways or even a week of sight seeing in the Bay Area, our apartment offers quiet serenity and comfort. Relax and enjoy our private deck.

Absolutely wonderful stay. House was cozy and perfect and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Host was an excellent communicator and even helped us find nearby hikes, music, and dining. Would definitely come back!

A lovely peaceful stay. While we were on the deck a buck wandered through the backyard. It was so fun to have had that experience.

Great location for what we wanted to do in Marin County. Easy to get around and to find the place. Beds were comfy and the kids had fun helping prep the sleeper sofa. The porch was wonderful for reading and relaxing.

What a unique, comfortable place! It felt a bit like we were staying in a cabin in the woods, but it was still close to stores, restaurants, and hiking trails. We had everything we needed, and the hosts were great. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay! Comfortable, clean, cozy, quiet - but still close to plenty to see and eat. Flexible and responsive hosts. The porch is absolutely fantastic.

A very cozy, quiet little “pied-a-terre”. We were very comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely coastal fog. A welcome break from Central California. It’s central location made it easy to drive out to the Marine headlands, Sausalito, hiking trails, and Old Mill Valley. The minimal kitchenette was more than sufficient for our needs. We would enjoy visiting here again.

Mill Valley was a fabulous choice for us to stay during our recent visit to the area. This property is about 10-15 minutes from a lot of different hiking options on Mt Tam and also Muir Woods. It was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for our weeklong stay in the area. Mitch and Susan were great and responsive to all of our questions. I’m so glad I found this place bc this area is great and we enjoyed our time north of the golden gate more than our time in the city. The only two things I will mention here, especially for those staying with children, is that this is a one room apartment, with no door between the bedroom and living area. I misinterpreted the description and the pictures don’t really give a good impression of the size of the apartment. This would be an ideal place to stay alone without kids-for us, however, having no break from my 9 year old for the week was exhausting. The only other thing I’d like to mention here is that the caretakers do live upstairs, and the footsteps in the morning seem loud at times. The couple of days when my son didn’t wake us up with the TV, the footsteps above definitely did. But we are relatively early risers, so it wasn’t a huge deal. But if you like a good sleep-in, that may be difficult at times here. Other than that, this was definitely a five star stay in a perfect location. It was indeed “a haven in the trees.”
