About this cottage rental

One-bedroom, 2 full bathroom cottage is an ultra-charming, craftsman style home with magnificent views of the San Francisco Bay. It offers a fully equipped kitchenette, a lovely living room, a comfy bedroom, a full sized bed sleeping loft, a library /TV room and an ethereal work space. Sip coffee or wine from one of the double decks. Stay in to enjoy the view and birdsong or head out for a Bay Area adventure. Mt. Tamalpais State Park trails for hiking and mountain biking are right out your back door. Sausalito, San Francisco, the Pacific Ocean, Muir Woods and the wine country offer some of the endless possibilities for day tripping. This is a place that is both relaxing and inspiring. A perfect writer's retreat (in fact, it was the winter home of a New York Times best-selling author) or for soulful restoration!

Host very welcoming and available for questions. A sanctuary, a retreat , a very special place. Everything I needed at my fingertips. Beautiful location. Would give it 10 stars!

The property is gorgeous; it's just a long way up the mountain! This is my bad, especially as I lived in Mill Valley for many years and should have known better. If you can drive up there and stay, relax, and hike, this is a dream location! Unfortunately, we had three kids staying in town at various places to corral, and family and friends to see, so we weren't able to really lean in and enjoy this very special place. PS I only gave the pool a 3 because we didn't see it and the site made me give it a number; I'm sure it was great. The hosts were lovely and gracious, and the cottage charming and comfortable.
