Mid-Century Mountain Home with Breathtaking Views
About this house rental
Located in Mill Valley, this charming house for $375 per night is a great choice for your next break. A nature lover's dream.... The large windows of this rustic home look out on the San Francisco Bay and the trails of Mount Tam are literally right out your door. It's hard to believe that San Francisco is a mere 14 miles away when you wake up to deer in the garden and the smell of pine. There's a large patio surrounding the property from which to enjoy the ever-changing vistas of San Francisco and Mt. Tam . And despite the mountain setting, it's only a mile drive down to the quaint Mill Valley town square. This cozy artist's retreat is located at the head of a hiking trail which will take you as far as Stinson Beach (if you've got the energy) or as close as the little stream about half mile down the fire trail. A large fireplace, terrazzo floors, eclectic antiques and interesting old books... It is very much a retreat whether you want to stay put & relax, sail or mountain bike, experience small town life in Mill valley or explore the many sights in San Francisco. Sleeping: 2 bedrooms (1 king + 1 queen) Study Fully Equipped kitchen Washer / Dryer Ample parking (rare in this neighborhood)

This property is a special place. I would absolutely recommend booking it. Plan your trip so that you have time to spend hanging out at the house and walking the nearby trails.

We loved our stay in this Mill Valley gem. The 360 degree views were to die for. Communication with the host was friendly and prompt. The property had mid-century charm and was well stocked with everything we might need for the week. We would definitely rent again.

Outstanding from top to bottom. This property and the host are perfect. If you like mid century modern architecture this is the place for you. Relaxing, private, conveniently located but out of the way- I could go on and on. A little tricky getting up the hill to the residence but the view more than compensates for this and cannot be adequately put into words. I've been traveling for almost 50 years and cant think of a better overall place to stay. This house really made the trip superlative. Would stay here anytime.

This dream home was built with cutting-edge architectural details, even by today’s standards, with furnishings and garden spaces to compliment the perfect union of indoor-outdoor living. The house was clean, comfortable, and I appreciated that the kitchen has stainless steel pots and pans in good condition. My only change would add a screen door in the kitchen. Communication was equally impeccable.

My husband and I just stayed here and it 100% exceeded our expectations. Great house in a great town with a great vibe. We would definitely return and hope to some day!

Four of us traveled from all parts of the country to attend a memorial so we were wrapped in sadness. Our friend Maria had immigrated from Cuba at age 9, was an interior designer in New York, had a home in Mill Valley and summered in Spain. She was married to an artist. We immediately felt she had a hand in us choosing this very special home. The artwork, the wonderful pieces throughout that were curated from Spain, the fun book that shared the history of this 1959 home and the spectacular views of the city and Mount Tam.
When we drove to the property we navigated a steep road with twists and turns and, once we got to the top of the road that dead ended at the door of this property, it felt like we could touch the clouds!
Many times "vintage" equals old and musty, lack of water pressure, old appliances, etc. Not this beautiful home! It is a time capsule complete with modern conveniences. We had so much fun selecting albums and playing them on an actual record player!
We sat outside in the sunshine enjoying the landscape and sharing memories of our dear friend. The sadness lifted (some) and we talked about how Maria would love this place. Thanks to our wonderful host for sharing her home. It was cathartic and exactly what we needed!

We had a wonderful two-night stay in the house. The views from the house are beautiful, it's a direct hike up Mt Tam, and the house itself is a preserved family treasure. I highly recommend reading the house book to learn about the history of this authentic mid-century home built by the current renters' grandparents.

This is a beautiful property and a fabulous house. Proximity to downtown Mill Valley, 30 min drive to Stinson Beach and trails steps from the house. This was my second stay here and I can't wait to return.

Not only is this a wonderful location for proximity to San Francisco and the surrounding area, but the view from the front of the house is spectacular looking out at the bay and San Francisco. There is hiking right out the back door. You are just 20 minutes from Muir Woods National Forest and 30 minutes from San Fran. The house itself is an amazing step back in time with lovingly preserved mid century modern details throughout. The property is beautifully landscaped and maintained. The pictures do not do any of it justice. The beds and bedding are very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare many meals. We would stay forever if we could. Thank you so much for sharing your property with us.

This wonderful property feel more like a sanctuary or a trip back in time. The outside is as beautiful as the interior is so lovingly kept in its original form except that the kitchen appliances are fully updated, which was so helpful.

The house is situated high on a hill above the town of Mill Valley with a view of Mt Tamalpias on one side and San Francisco and its bay on the other. The property is beautifully landscaped with many hummingbirds flitting among the bushes. The property and views can be appreciated from inside the house because of numerous large windows. Though only with two bedrooms, the house is quite large with, for example, a separate study and a 20-foot ceiling in the living room. Because of the original owner's relationship to Spain (and enthusiasm for Don Quixote), there is much Spanish art and artifacts. The kitchen is modern, and everything in the house worked except for the entertainment system though with the help of the owners, we eventually got access to some Apple+ films. In sum, if we ever spend much time in the Bay Area again, we will try to rent this house.

The house is beautiful and setting was terrific. Views are unparalleled. The beds were comfortable and the owners were available for questions. Check in was a bit confusing. Had to call to find the key. House could use a deep clean, as it smelled a bit musty. Overall we were grateful for this time together in a beautiful setting.

We had a wonderful stay in this unique house. The view is truly breathtaking, and the house has a great history and feels like home. Very well appointed, great light and views from every room, comfortable beds, and lots of entertainment options. We enjoyed hiking around Mill Valley and visiting San Francisco, but one day we spent just enjoying the house. A wild turkey joined us on the patio! We'd definitely stay again.

The view is absolutely unreal. The area is stunning and is just above town. I got the impression from the map that it was more “out of town” - bust its right up the hill. It is in fact better than the pics. Based on the original 50’s vibe of the place I thought for sure it would feel more tired and dusty. It was immaculate, clean and orderly. My musical partner and I (Jackopierce) were in town playing Bob Weir’s legendary Sweetwater Music Hall in town. We were able to to take a day off at this UNREAL mountain top sanctuary reading in the sun, taking hikes and exploring the great little town of MV. We stopped at Whole Foods on the way in and also got food at the MV Market. The weather was spectacular. Kitchen was fully stocked and even had a handful of snacks and coffee.

My husband, our adult daughter, and I enjoyed our 4-night stay in your charming home. The views from the house and the property are incredible! The home is spacious with plenty of places to curl up with a book and watch the ever changing skies. We took the suggested short hike from the property the day we arrived and did some hill work climbing Summit Ave another afternoon when the rains stopped. None of us had been to Mount Tam before, and we enjoyed hiking there and experiencing more amazing views. Mill Valley is a charming town with some excellent restaurants. Thanks for a great place for a relaxing getaway.

Truly unique property and destination. My daughter had her wedding at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley and this was the perfect place for us to stay. We had a few visitors for dinners and brunches and everyone raved about the house and view. We were able to hike right out the back door. Susan was a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Susan.
