About this property

A nature lover's dream....
The large windows of this rustic home look out on the San Francisco Bay and the trails of Mount Tam are literally right out your door. It's hard to believe that San Francisco is a mere 14 miles away when you wake up to deer in the garden and the smell of pine.

There's a large patio surrounding the property from which to enjoy the ever-changing vistas of San Francisco and Mt. Tam . And despite the mountain setting, it's only a mile drive down to the quaint Mill Valley town square.

This cozy artist's retreat is located at the head of a hiking trail which will take you as far as Stinson Beach (if you've got the energy) or as close as the little stream about half mile down the fire trail.

A large fireplace, terrazzo floors, eclectic antiques and interesting old books... It is very much a retreat whether you want to stay put & relax, sail or mountain bike, experience small town life in Mill valley or explore the many sights in San Francisco.

Sleeping: 2 bedrooms (1 king + 1 queen)

Perfect stay!

The property had everything and more. Great history (it was fun reading about the family lore); great view (we watched the ever changing weather over the bay and San Francisco skyline, with fog, sun and clouds (really cool to see the tops of the skyscrapers above the fog); and great feel (the house has a great energy). It was fun to walk out out of the house and take the hike up the mountain and then down to the creek with the amazing redwoods. Would definitely stay again.

Fun Mid Century Modern home. Susan was great to work with, she was quick to respond any time we communicated. We would have liked to spend more time at the house but we had a pretty packed schedule. The house was comfortable and well equipped. The view was amazing day and night.

A very pleasant Stay

My wife and I were in town for a Celebration of Life for an old and dear friend. We both enjoyed the mid-century vibe of the house. It was very clean and very well equipped. The only complaint was the narrowness of the public road up to the house. The owners can’t be held responsible for that. Just drive slow and carefully. The home manager was always quickly responsive to any questions we may have had. The views from the property were gorgeous!

Clean, complete, easy and absolutely stunning view!

This mid-century modern home combines charm, generous space and all you could need for kitchen conveniences with one of the most stunning views of San Francisco you could ever hope for. Situated in the hills above Mill Valley (adorable, lots of fun shops and restaurants), it’s convenient for Muir Woods and the surrounding area. Susan has everything conveniently labelled within to help you utilize all it has to offer. We loved the main room (gas) fireplace - perfect for cool nights. Like so much of the surrounding area, the roads to get here are twisty, turny but we managed even in a huge SUV. Loved it!

Amazing place!

This wonderful property feel more like a sanctuary or a trip back in time. The outside is as beautiful as the interior is so lovingly kept in its original form except that the kitchen appliances are fully updated, which was so helpful.
