This home is located in a beautiful area, up a winding road and among redwood trees and with an expansive view across the lush valley of the North SF Bay Area. It is quiet, extremely comfortable for relaxation and/or for "work from home", with added character from a spiral staircase, desk nook, loft, and redwood decks and with the convenience of parking and kitchen facilities, as well as 2 sleeping areas + 2 bathrooms. The owners, in a separate home on the property, are highly responsive, helpful and kind, whilst also respecting visitor privacy. One of my all-time favorite VRBOs!

Marianne was a phenomenal host who made our stay exceptional. The property was exactly as described and perfect all the way to smallest details. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a private stay near all that Mill Valley and Mt. Tam have to offer.

Hosts were very accessible and kind during the stay. Any item I had not packed or thought about needing during the week was provided when I looked ! The carriage house was comfy, lots of blankets, chairs books, games- all things relaxing. Tech was covered also, with TV’s, Wi-Fi etc. It’s difficult to put into words how ethereal the view was from the property and decks, more than I hoped for.. Suggest meeting grocery/ sundry needs prior to arrival, the Northern California hills are no joke if you come from flatter environments. Plenty of hiking and state park access. 5/5 for sure, home away from home. Deb

What a wonderful spot, high in the hills above Mill Valley, with the Bay in the distance! The view was amazing, and the cottage on the whole was very comfortable, with everything we could need for a four night stay. You can walk to nearby hiking trails, and while the road up is a bit winding, once we did it twice, it was fine. Mill Valley is a great place to visit and Marianne's cottage was a perfect home base!

What a wonderful property, it was like staying in a treehouse. The grounds were beautiful and the house had everything you need. Marianne went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. She responded quickly to any of our questions. We even had fresh flowers throughout the house from her garden. I hope to return and stay here again. Highly recommend this VRBO.

We loved our stay at the cottage. Spectacular views from either of the two decks, a well-equipped kitchen, an awesome library and 2 full baths. Easy access to SF, the wine country and all Marin County has to offer - Tiburon, San Anselmo, Muir Woods, Bolinas, etc. Hiking trails within walking distance. To top it all off, Marianne is a charming, helpful and knowledgeable host. Exceeded our expectations.
