It is a unique and peaceful property located in the heart of Mill Valley nestled among the tallest of trees. Enjoy the giant ferns and redwood trees, creekside front deck with a fire pit, lush landscape, hot tub and amazing indoor spaces with views of nature from each and every window. PLEASE send me a note by clicking "Contact Host" beneath the "Request to Book" button if you are interested in booking. Please do not start initial contact with a reservation request!

LOCATION: We are located in the heart of Mill Valley, just a 12 minute flat walk into town with restaurants, theater, spas and shopping. Centrally located, this property is 15 minutes away from the Golden Gate Bridge, 20 minutes from Muir Beach & Muir Woods, 40 minutes away from Stinson Beach, 40 minutes away from the Wine Country. This ideal location is also a 5 minute walk to trailheads for mountain biking and hiking on majestic Mount Tamalpais.

THE HOME | OUTDOOR SPACE: On just under one acre, this is a great home for relaxing or using as a jumping off point to enjoy the San Francisco/Bay Area. From every vantage point, you will see redwood trees, giant Australian Tree Ferns and greenery. In front, as you can see from the photos, we have an 800 sqft deck with a fire pit, lounging area, and multiple dining areas to take in the beauty of the mammoth redwoods & ferns and sound of the creek that runs in front of the deck. Additionally, we have a large upper balcony with access from the living room and master bedroom. In the backyard you will find a wooden hot tub and large garden. We also have a patio off the kitchen perfect for lounging.

THE HOME | INDOOR SPACE: Our 3,300 square foot, 3 level split home has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, full living room with wood-burning fireplace, full dining room, large kitchen with seating, and TV room with large flat-screen TV & gas fireplace. As you open the front door, you will walk into the large dining room with seating for 10 by candlelight. Newly remodeled guest bath is to your right. To the left, up a half flight of stairs is the living room. The living room features high ceilings, ample seating, wood burning fireplace and balcony. The views from this room are spectacular! It’s a lovely space to read, celebrate, relax. Walking back through the dining room leads you to the newly remodeled kitchen. The beautiful kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, serving platters, spices, and everything you could possibly need during your stay! The kitchen has a large oval table with seating for your entire group. Up a half flight of stairs, you will find the master suite. The master suite has a large seating area with overstuffed chairs, bookshelves and a TV. The bedroom space has a new Tempur-Pedic Cal King Bed. The entire area has a large balcony and when you open your eyes in the morning, a full view of redwood trees! The spacious spa-like bathroom has a Phillip Stark bathtub, double sinks, large rain shower, toilet room, and greenery view. Walking back to the kitchen, down half a flight you will find the TV room with gas fireplace and large L shaped comfy couch. This space is another great gathering spot. Down the halls is three bedrooms (Queen, Queen, 2 twin beds) and a full bathroom with double sinks, shower/tub combo. All levels lead to the outdoors – decks, balconies and seating areas. There is a lot of space for workstations if you are working remotely, and our wi-fi is new, high speed Sonic Fiber Optics.

THE HOME | THE KITCHEN: The newly remodeled kitchen is a dream to cook in. It’s bright, has lots of workspace and amply empty cabinets for your groceries. The kitchen is fully equipped with all cooking and serving needs. Dishwasher, disposal, two ovens, microwave, 6 burner commercial stove, refrigerator and full suite of appliances. We also have a gas BBQ on the front deck. We invite you to enjoy our home!
In regards to pets, please contact me ahead of time via an inquiry to discuss. Our very lush garden can not tolerate animals running loose or relieving themselves on property. Also as we are on a creek, the yard is not fenced in. Please contact me before booking the reservation by clicking "Contact Host" beneath the "Request to Book" button.

What a delightful and unique experience. Tranquil, surrounded with lush beautiful nature, and supremely comfortable accommodations. Our only regret is not having more time to stay at this beautiful home. We loved every moment.

An amazing house!! Great views from all rooms. Spacious. Clean and organized. Prompt communication with owners. Wonderful place for family vacation. We hiked every day after we enjoyed breakfast in the house’s beautiful kitchen. Teens and parents loved the hot tub.Grandparent enjoyed reading in the stunning living area above the dining room.Close enough to downtown that we walked there every day. Terrific place for a getaway.

We met up with our grown children and our grandchild and had a very cozy stay! The house is beautiful, with good space and it is well equipped. While we didn’t walk to town while we were there, we did hike from the house and had an easy drive into town when we went in for a lunch or dinner. The property is beautiful but we only enjoyed from indoors as the temperatures were a little too cool during our stay to be outdoors.

This was such an amazing home that we never wanted to leave the property during our stay. It was quiet and beautiful with a backyard oasis where we spent most of our time. There are fun little hiking trails all around as well and it’s beautiful just to go on a walk through the streets. The John Muir Woods are only 15-20 minutes away and Mill Valley is a nice town within minutes of the house. I am hoping we might get a chance to return one day.

The house was beautiful and was the perfect place to unwind after sight-seeing each day. The yard is lovely and peaceful and perfect for those who like to read. The redwoods out front are stunning. Also, was not a far drive into San Francisco and is very close to Muir Woods. We took the Larkspur Ferry into San Francisco one day, which was a fun way to get to the city. Communication with owners was great.

This house has a spectacular setting and is really private and the rooms are quiet and there are a lot of places to hang out - ex. two living rooms, a dining room, a fun kitchen table with a couch on one side and chairs on other. A rare wine barrel hot tub nested in the back in the redwoods and was hot and beautiful and private! It is unique place and you can walk to the lovely town!
