About this house rental

Nestled in San Francisco, this attractive house for $540 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Our 4bd/2ba home is the perfect space for big families, work groups. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, and we ask that you are respectful of our neighbors by being super quiet in the daytime, as well as at night. No parties, please! Almost half an acre of sunny lawns, forest, and a seasonal creek at the end of a quiet road will greet you. The smell of plum blossom, jasmine, and bay trees will calm you, and you will have complete privacy as no cars will drive by. This place inspires peaceful solitude and is an excellent retreat for serene gatherings. (Please note that our house includes a small entirely separate In-law unit downstairs under the living room, which is not included in the Vrbo listing.) As you drive up our driveway to the end of the road, our home is on your right side. You walk up 15 stairs to our long outdoor deck, which allows you to bring the outside in. There is a little separate building at the end of the driveway. It is just for our storage use. As you enter the house, you will see a stone fireplace right in front of you, the great room has old natural pine paneled walls, an open floor plan, and mostly hardwood and tile floors. There are 2 comfortable coaches and a sofa close to the fireplace, a working desk and mobile chair, and another 2 coaches on the right side of the room. The dining area and newly renovated kitchen are on the left side of the fireplace. Walk along the kitchen and you will find 4 bedrooms: one spacious bedroom with a brand new queen-sized bed (2023), one sweet trundle bed in the middle bedroom, a brand new queen-sized sofa bed in a separate room, which has bright light almost all day long, and one king-sized bed in the spacious master bedroom. Our 2 newly renovated full baths (2023) and 4 bedrooms are all on one level for easy accessibility (note there are 15 stairs from the parking area up to our front door). There is a very quiet in-law unit below the living room. Please keep the area in the living room, dining room, and kitchen quiet between 10 PM and 7 AM as a courtesy to the unit below. We have parking for 1 car at the top of the driveway to the right and another space in the carport right next to it. No street parking as all the spaces there is private property. This is a quiet area with no streetlights, so star gazing is excellent. Wildlife abounds and sightings of deer, raccoon, coyotes, and raptors are common. Stroll in our backyard, discover the path to our sacred temple and access the incredible open space adjoining the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

This home is perfectly located for availing oneself of all the great things to do in the SF Bay area. This is a warm and comfortable home to use as a base to explore SF, Sausalito, the Muir Redwood Forest and the gorgeous Marin coastline. The hosts were amazing. We appreciate the hospitality you provided and thank you for sharing this wonderful, warm and peaceful space for our base in exploring the area. We look forward to returning again.

Hard to find; definitely find it in daylight! But a beautiful spot in the trees. Lots of space. Recommend for a group of family or friends.

My daughter was married in Mill Valley this weekend and family from the east coast came. Eight of us stayed in the four double bedrooms and shared all our time in the spacious yet cozy main room. We were minutes to Muir Woods and beach and also wine tasting as well as the wonderful wedding. This location showed our east coast relatives some of the best adventures in California !! Would definitely come to this friendly home again!!!

I can’t say enough about Tara. She is super responsive and acts on any question or request in minutes! The house is so comfortable and the living area is nicely set up for chatting in front of the fireplace. You see trees out every window and the property is very private. There is a tenant downstairs that is very friendly and quiet. And you are only minutes from restaurants and a great supermarket. Hiking is very close and only about 10 minutes from Muir Woods.

My family and I stayed here while I had an elopement. The listing was not very accurate as the home is NOT newly renovated. The microwave didn’t work, one of the toilets only flushed 50% of the time, the gas stoves struggled to light, and the ac did not work. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable and there is a tree that has begun to uproot in the driveway that makes it difficult to get up and down safely. There were minimal outlets and the host has multiple appliances plugged into one outlet which was causing them to all not work very well. It is a nice neighborhood but if your group makes any noise whatsoever I wouldn’t suggest staying here. Neighbors made noise complaints for us playing a card game outside at 2pm on a Saturday. We were all in bed by 9pm and somehow still made too much noise so the 10pm-7am quiet hours is a lie they actually expect silence 24/7. None of these would’ve been big issues except the price point is not reflected in the quality of the property.

Came here with our adult children. Magical hideaway perfect for our taste, quiet, unassuming charm, away from hustle bustle areas but within minutes of San Fran Sausalito and other areas. Endless walks, wild turkeys, wild berries and plums. Amazing hosts quickly responding to communication, will definitely come back.

My friends and I were able to relax, make great meals, and catch up with each other in what we came to call our Magic Treehouse. Good beds, interesting books and objects, very peaceful and healthful place. Good fireplace! Well lit by nature in daytime and lamps at night. These hosts have thought of everything we might need. We look forward to gathering here again.
