We loved this property. The location was wonderful and the house was beautiful. We had such a wonderful time starting off our honeymoon here. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
Extended family of eight in the area for a wedding. Spent long weekend at the home. Beautiful home with a beautiful location in the trees in a beautiful town.
Gorgeous location & fabulous home. Very well stocked with all necessary items. Easy check in & check out. Second time renting & will definitely come back again.
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.
This sanctuary extended our expectations. It was SO peaceful, a beautiful property, and a communicative host. Truly, a dream home nestled in the forest. Photos do not do justice.
We had a wonderful week staying in this beautiful and spacious home. The home offers so much from a beautiful kitchen, comfortable beds, hammocks, hot tub and the cutest outdoor spaces. We definitely look forward to visiting again ! There were 6 of us and it was perfect. Mill Valley is beautiful!
Fabulous property! Well appointed home, kitchen supplies fantastic, roomy, beds very comfortable. In a tranquil environment - wonderful for restful experience - beautiful outdoor spaces. Can't say enough about this property! Will stay again next summer.
This is a lovely, large house on a stunning property. Plenty of room for my family of 8 adults.All needed amenities were there, the host was very responsive and the location can’t be beat. It was so serene.
This is a delightful home in an absolutely gorgeous setting. The interior is beautifully maintained and includes a luxurious primary bed and bath. The home has multiple places for guests to both gather and retreat for privacy. The outdoor living spaces are truly amazing. This is a top tier spot in a perfect location. We absolutely loved it!
Our daughter's wedding in Mill Valley and San Rafael made this location ideal for our family to spend a week.
Beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces; wonderful ambiance.
Fantastic new kitchen!
Beautiful home in an idyllic setting. No more than 35 minute drive or less to most of the places you want to visit in the Bay Area as well. The house has everything you need. A great trip!
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.
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.
Pros:Gorgeous property, amazing walkable neighborhood, right by the library and trails. Could spend all day lounging in hammocks and building fires in the fireplace.Lost a pair of glasses and the owners helped locate them and made the glasses available after our booking was over, which was very kind.Cons:The hot tub was not working, and since the owner was out of town, they were not communicative in finding a resolution. They did apologize later but did not offer a make-good, which was disappointing since the hot tub was a main draw for booking. The upstairs would get quite warm, even with the air turned on.
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!
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.
We had the most wonderful time at this lovely property. It was so clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for anything you might need to cook. The beds are VERY comfy. The master bathroom is stunning- esp the bath overlooking the yard outside. We spent as much time as possible outside in the wonderland retreat. The hot tub is lovely esp at night. This is on of my fav VRBOS ever.
