Wonderful week in Mill Valley
This home is just magical- so lovely, quiet and restful. Home is very cozy but perfect for my wife and me. It is nestled in the redwoods and has a gorgeous garden in the back. Perhaps best of all, it is a two minute walk to town where there are great restaurants, breakfast cafes and shops. Also close to San Fran and Napa. Perfect place to spend a week!

Sally and Michael were absolutely fantastic hosts, going above and beyond to make sure our stay was nothing short of wonderful. They remind me of the old days of vacation rentals, where everything was done with a more personal and friendly touch. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone!

Lovely Mill Valley Stay
We travelled here with our family and had a wonderful time. The property was lovely and exactly what we expected. It was very convenient for us to travel around both north and south of the Golden Gate giving us lots of options to see the area. Would stay here again.

An oasis in Mill Valley
We stayed here several days after our daughter’s wedding weekend..looked for a place where we could relax but be close to town..this was the perfect place for us!!! Serene setting (after the 39 steps up)..but so worth it when you opened the gate to a beautiful outdoor patio..would highly recommend & Sara was there if we needed anything (but we didn’t)..a perfect stay in Mill Valley

Very Clean. Well accommodated, supplied with everything needed. Setting is beautiful and peaceful. Third bedroom for a child. Lovely short walk to town, which is also lovely. We loved it and would stay here again!! Be aware you must be able to walk up 30 stairs or so which for us was not an issue

Great location!
We loved our stay in Mill Valley! There are a lot of steps up to the house, but our kids were old enough to get up and down easily. The house had everything we needed. We loved watching the birds! There are so many great places to walk to from the house, we loved exploring Mill Valley on foot.

Lovely home in a great location
I rented this property months in advance of my partner's son's wedding which took place in Mill Valley, and was glad I did! The house is charming, clean, and well maintained, and the location was perfect for us. It was so comfortable and relaxing we didn't want to leave, and hope to return some day! I didn't meet Sally, but her husband Michael greeted us when we arrived, as they live downstairs. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, there was plenty of room for 2 others to stay with us. Highly recommended for your stay in Mill Valley.

A perfect tree house a block from Mill Valley square.
This cute and very comfortable house was in a perfect location. And the owner was fantastic getting back to us with any questions. Super quiet at night with a deck that helps you feel like you’re in the woods. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

A block from everything downtown Mill Valley as well as many trails. Restaurants, coffee shops, groceries the Dipsy trail and many more are an easy walk from this charming cottage. It has a sweet and comfortable patio and hillside garden to admire the plants and birds. There are many stairs to the cottage but well worth the steps. We recommend this spot!

Sally and Michael

Why they chose this property

We drove through the Rainbow tunnel and as we came down into Mill Valley, It took our breath away! We felt the Magic .. We found our dream place. Mill Valley is a place you have to see it has a European small-town feel and is outdoorsy, where we raised our children. Now, grown adults are lucky to live here as well.
. We have made many happy memories here. You will feel the love! It is a great home for children, young couples, and worldly wanderers. This is one of the remaining truly Old Mill Valley Homes. No Need to jump in your car. Walk outside and feel the bustle and life of Mill Valley!

What makes this property unique

It is one of the few remaining original homes, and we have chosen to keep as much original hardwood floorings and restoration glass in the kitchen as possible—lots of history. If you want a new, fully remodeled home, that is not us. We have consciously chosen to hold onto the historical uniqueness of our town and its history and keep our house as it was when it.'
In addition to being within walking distance to Downtown, you have a completely closed-in garden/deck where you may lounge, and it allows for an indoor-outdoor feel due to all the French doors opening onto the deck.. This is the perfect setup for barbecuing. There is also a large heating lamp outside for cool nights. We have some of the most fantastic hiking trails, walking trails ever!! Walk to restaurants, live theatre, cinema, market, coffee houses, shopping, and other downtown amenities, It is the quintessential Mill Valley home perfect for families and can accommodate five people very comfortably. An authentic piece of Mill Valley history! Must Climb Stairs to House. See photo and history of Mill Valley Stairs in the Historical Society.


Mill Valley has been named one of the best small towns in America by Smithsonian Magazine!
