We had a wonderful stay here with our family over Christmas 2025. The house was an ideal size for our group—comfortable, well laid out, and easy to settle into. We especially loved the backyard, which was a great bonus for relaxing and spending time together. The host was very responsive, and the Mill Valley location is fantastic—quiet, beautiful, and perfectly situated for exploring Marin. With quick and easy access in and out of San Francisco, we’d absolutely recommend this spot.

We had a relaxing stay at Thea’s over Thanksgiving week. Her home is spotless, cozy and has everything you need for a week in Marin. Her kitchen is extremely well equipped and we were able to cook up a Thanksgiving feast. The location is excellent for exploring Marin and the surrounding recreation areas. We would gladly return!

This property could not have been cozier and more convenient for my vacation. It was a quick drive into San Francisco or to the restaurants and boutiques of Mill Valley. Being so close to Shoreline Hwy, I could easily get to beaches and hiking trails to take advantage of the sunny weather. The house and neighborhood are quiet - if you're looking for a relaxing spot, look no further and book here!
