About this house rental
My house is located on a hillside close to the village of Mill Valley. There is a gorgeous master bedroom suite, with jacuzzi bath, a second bedroom with a queen bed and a daybed the living room. The house has a chef’s kitchen, elegant dining area, and a living room with cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling windows .
The deck has lovely views of the valley. It is a perfect place to have your morning coffee.
It is an easy 8 minute walk to the village where you will find interesting shops, and lots of eclectic restaurants. Hiking trails are nearby and it is possible to walk from the house to the trails on Mount Tam.
It is 30 minutes drive into downtown San Francisco, Berkeley, and Stinson Beach. Muir Woods is ten minutes away unless you decide to hike in! The wine country is a 45 minute drive.
This is my house and I live here when not renting to guests.
If you are looking for a hotel experience, this is not it. I have a downstairs studio on the property with a separate entrance where I sometimes stay. I love to get to know my guests but respect their privacy.
There are many stairs up to the house so if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be a good place for you. There is a steep driveway leading up to the house. There is also street parking with steps up to the house.
I share my house with my standard poodle,Gigi. She loves to get to know my guests and poodles are hypoallergenic!
Children are welcome.
I am a professional chef and the kitchen is equipped with state of the art appliances, and lots of cooking essentials. .The kitchen is well stocked and guests are welcome to cook and use whatever foods are in the cupboard. I always provide my guests with food and drinks for breakfast. I even cater a dinner for my guests once in a while.
This is my home and I sometimes stay in my studio on the property. I love to meet my guests but also respect their privacy. If you are looking for an IKEA furnished place, this might not work for you.
Minimum 2 night stay

Joan was a terrific host and made us feel welcome. The house is just fun and filled with interesting art, books, plants and furnishings. The "great room" is a really pleasant space and, already the photo doesn't show it, it's all glass on two sides, not just one, with redwoods right outside.

Joan was a doll. Gigi the poodle was adorable. Everything was well appointed. The kitchen items could have been cleaner but the bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The master shower head needs replacing. It works but the water comes out a little funky. The house is like a museum, paintings, artwork and a fun little book of the history of Joan’s travels… so interesting! It really is her home! The beds were comfortable. The town is a short 5 minute drive with Starbucks, EXCELLENT Michelin rated restaurants, live music and cute shops. The hiking was amazing and the redwoods were magical and took our breath away. It was easy to drive into San Francisco and enjoy the city. We wanted a unique, off the beaten path experience but also to have everything at our fingertips and Joan’s treehouse delivered! Joan’s description was completely accurate, the stairs and steep driveway are not for everyone, but if you are able to walk up a regular set of stairs, you can definitely get up them with your stuff if perhaps, a glass of wine and a wonderful view were waiting for you at the top!! Overall we had a wonderful stay and we would stay again.

We loved our stay here. Gorgeous house with everything you need including great art, great . books, great kitchen, comfortable beds, lots of extra pillows and blankets, and especially great views. This is someone’s home, not just a shell of a dwelling with sparse furniture. It felt like home for five days. We absolutely loved it!!
The one con is the driveway. Although I didn’t take any stars away because of it, it is very steep and there is little space for the car to rest. Our group consisted of 4 seniors so this part was a little challenging. We did use street parking occasionally, and there are steps to the house from the road.
