A Great Short Stay
My wife and I stayed here for the second year running. A lovely guest house behind the main house, furnished for a very comfortable stay. Bedroom has a great bed and living room has a fold out bed that’s unusually comfortable! … Small but fully equipped kitchen. Same for the bathroom. Easy and efficient communication with the host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quiet residential area with convenient on street parking.

This cozy home was in a wonderful and safe location. It was minutes away from The Golden Gate Bridge, Little Italy and Alcatraz. Me along with my husband and 2 teenage children absolutely loved it. It had just enough space for us all. The sitting area outside was our favorite to relax at the end of our day. Our host always replied quickly, over text and phone call. We will definitely be going back!

We stayed for almost a week in this cute, perfect little home. Caroline was super accomodating for whatever we needed. The place was clean, had everything we needed to cook meals, perfect for a family of 4. Loved it and would certainly book again if we come to the San Fran area for another vacation or anything, a lot more quite and peaceful than San Fran! Had a wonderful time, thank you!!

Pleasant overnight in Mill Valley
Stayed one night as part of a six day traveling California coast visit for a family of four, two parents and two teenage daughters. Nice quiet location, very friendly host, we used much of what the property had to offer in the short time we were there, which added to our whole trip. We made a dinner in the kitchen being a pasta meal that included baking a medium sized pizza we bought from the Whole Foods nearby. Then the next morning had our breakfast pastries, fruit, and coffees before heading back out. We stayed there after a long family hike starting in Muir Woods and into Mt. Tamalpais state park. So the house being close to the trails, groceries, and restaurants offered a great spot to rest and recover. After our dinner and evening television we opened the window and only heard the sounds nature before going to sleep and well after awakening. Would stay there again if we were to visit Mill Valley and nearby surrounding area in the future. Have to mention that the kitchen had a well designed and very functional island, which added to the properties charm and overall high degree of utility.

Beautiful, private little apartment
- absolutely gorgeous, welcoming property, lovely little patio for having tea in the morning - very comfortable bed - host was very responsive - need to close the bedroom doors when sleeping, the motion-triggered lights are very bright otherwise - the skylights are wonderful, though the opening mechanism is confusing. Highly recommend taking a shower in the morning - within easy (~30min) walk to stores/grocery/cafes/etc - don't recommend the trails within easy walking distance unless you're an experienced (California!) hiker. I've hiked a lot in Ontario, but that trail is *steep*

Great Garden Stay
Our modern, one-bedroom home was terrifically thought out, comfortable and well located for our 10 day stay. Fully equipped and very clean. We even managed an over-night by our granddaughters (8 & 5). Small yard allowed our dog to stretch and for us to take in the sun. Dedicated parking removed that hassle. Quiet neighborhood close to stores and convenient to Sausalito to Mill Valley. We'll be happy to return.

Quiet, comfortable stay in Mill Valley neighborhood
My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this private and quiet guest house in Mill Valley. Despite our visit being during the rainy season, the space was comfortably warm and dry. It had a nice layout with bedroom, bath, living area and small kitchen. Everything was in good working order. The decor was soothing with several special touches including some original artwork and custom furniture. Will stay again if it’s available when we are in the areas. Does not have a washer/ dryer but this is available in the family home on the property. Close to everything you go to Mill Valley for with dedicated parking. Caroline was welcoming and a good communicator.

Very happy
I was very glad we chose to stay here for various reasons: Location - close to Muir Woods a many trails; for me it was the quiet of a residential neighborhood with a 15-20 minute drive to the Marina district where I needed to go daily and traffic was never an issue. The property - you have a dedicated parking spot, the place is maintained well enough to look brand new despite being 2 years old and all the pictures posted are very accurate. It's equipped better than most other listings I've been in the past. Above all, Caroline is an amazing host. Communication with her was seamless and timely, whether in-person or over messaging. Bummed the place is already booked for the dates I have to return...
