Near ideal property for anyone interested in experiencing Mill Valley hiking, shopping, etc. Very hospitable host and easy to work with. Property itself is very well equipped. Would absolutely stay here again!
Spectacular property, wonderful hosts! We loved our breakfasts on the sunny deck and cooking in the well-appointed kitchen. The location, halfway up Mt. Tam, is nothing short of breathtaking. You can hike or ride your bike straight out the door; the trails are right there. Our lovely hosts, Marianne and Art, didnât miss a single detail. Overall, just a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back.
Fantast views, home, owner. Perfectly appointed with lovely personal touxhes and fresh flowers too! Home away from ho.e, not a sparse shell. High quality linens and full kitxhen. Great hikes!!
We completely enjoyed our stay at the cottage on Mt. Tamalpais. The view was magnificent, the decor was inspirational, and the hostess/owner was exceptional providing a comfortable stay, space and privacy. We were fortunate to find this gem.
The house had everything that one would want and the owner was very helpful and available. The location, architecture and character of the house reflected the area well. Close to Mt. Tam & Muir Woods. Beautiful views.
A beautiful hidden gem among the redwoods. Marianne was the perfect host. She was kind and helpful, and made us feel welcome from the first moment we met. This was our first time visiting the Mill Valley area, and this tree house cottage felt like a home away from home. It has everything you need, and more, for a relaxing getaway and an area to explore. We canât wait to return to this lovely place.
Absolutely Perfect Stay!What an incredible gem in Mill Valley! My husband and I planned a delayed honeymoon and this was our first stop. What an awesome way to begin our journey! Marianneâs beautifully designed Craftsman guest house exceeded all expectations. The space is not only impeccably maintained and thoughtfully decorated, but also incredibly comfortable â it truly felt like a peaceful, intimate retreat.The views are absolutely spectacular â waking up to the stunning landscape and soaking in the serenity of the gorgeous gardens was a dream. And Buster, Marianneâs sweet and gentle dog, made the stay even more delightful. He was such a friendly little presence, always ready for a tail wag or two.Marianne was a wonderful and welcoming host â warm, helpful, and respectful of privacy. We honestly didnât want to leave and we are already planning our next stay. Highly, highly recommended!
Slightly funky, comfortable space. A real mountain setting with big beautiful views, yet charming Mill Valley is at the bottom of the hill. We needed privacy and hosts obliged 100%.
This is a very very special place, and certainly my favorite VRBO ever. It is a spacious, two-story cottage nestled in the woods along a windy road leading to the top of Mt. Tamalpais. The views - as well as the flora and birds - are breathtaking from the upper and lower floors, and both have spacious decks. The rooms and furnishings are incredibly comfortable and welcoming, and my husband and I felt instantly at home. There were fresh flowers everywhere and the hosts were very generous and responsive. Town - which is wonderful too - is 7 minutes down the hill. We simply cannot recommend it highly enough -- we did NOT want to leave at all! And of course we're already planning our return.
We very much enjoyed our 5 night stay at this charming cottage. Marianne was helpful and communicative during our stay. Fresh flowers throughout the house made it very welcoming. Fantastic location for walking and hiking - really felt like a mountain get away.
Property is absolutely beautiful with fantastic views! Owner was extremely helpful. We have family living in the area and will definitely stay here again!
Hummingbirds, redwoods and piece of mind is what you will get while staying here. Marianne is a pleasure and so was the house, nothing but good things to say. Thank you
My adult son and I spent the weekend at this cottage. It was equipped with everything and the owner was very nice to show us all around the cottage and what it offered. We even got in a game of cribbage which they had on the game shelf!
The views around the cottage are beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. I recommend renting this cottage if you are going to Mill Valley!
Great location, beautiful environment We felt very welcome with freshly cut flowers in all the rooms. The owners were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Mill Valley.
My wife and I arrived on a Wednesday night. Marianne gave a wonderful walk through with plenty of helpful information and we stayed through Sunday morning. And everything was great! She was very responsive with texts and proactive in reaching out to make sure everything was just right. Mill valley is awesome. I can't wait to go back. Spending time in the redwoods is extraordinary and Marianne's place is in an ideal location. I wish that it hadn't rained quite so much because I really wanted to hike to the top of My Tam but I didn't have enough time on Thursday night to get all the way there before sundown. The pictures I did get of San Francisco from the trail are posted on Google Maps so have a look... It's gorgeous. I would totally come back here and am very grateful for Marianne making this home available. I was honored to be there.
High marks from us for our lovely stay in this cottage on the ridge above Mill Valley. Nicely furnished and equipped. Very convenient parking (sometimes a challenge in Mill Valley). Owner is friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. Easy access to everything in town, and location is close to the headlands and the state park, with lots of walking trails to explore.
We have lived on Middle Ridge for over 40 years. The cottage was our home while we were building our main house on the same lot. Now the cottage is a rental. We have met so many wonderful people who have stayed there over the years. Everyone who has lived there has enjoyed the brilliant space.
Our Mt. Tam perch has the best weather and some of the best views in town. You can walk out the door and be on a mountain trail in minutes or drive a few miles and be in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Our two level cottage is built on the Middle Ridge of Mt. Tam facing east. It has decks off of French doors on each level with dog gates to keep pets in or out. The downstairs bedroom is perfect place to tuck in for a dreamy nightâs sleep â the morning light, birdsong and breezes will awaken you, unless you close the curtains. Walk up the spiral staircase to a great room flooded with natural light. This open area has a writing desk, kitchenette, napping loft, dinette and living room. In the adjacent room there is a library and a TV. Stay in, relax and enjoy the sweeping views or step out to experience any of the many adventures the Bay Area has to offer. Come and enjoy!
