Very close to the charming downtown of Mill Valley, the house gets a terrific walk score of 86 (Very Walkable).
The kitchen features high-end appliances (Viking stove and microwave, Miele washer, dryer, and dishwasher, and Liebherr refrigerator) and a charming breakfast table with two chairs overlooking the garden. Off the kitchen is a lovely nook with an exercise bicycle.
The private main bedroom, with its queen-sized bed, has lovely windows looking out over the beautiful greenery surrounding the seasonal creek. In addition, it has a comfortable queen size sofa-bed, coffee table, chest of drawers, and two closets. It also has a large flat screen TV with hundreds of channels, including HBO and Showtime.
The second bedroom at the front of this beautiful home looks out on to the lush, private, front garden and courtyard. It has a comfortable sofa bed, and includes large, built-in, white laminate working desks with two comfortable work stations and bookshelves. It is perfect for those who work from home.
The whole house, including the office, is served by our high-speed Wi-Fi network.
The gardens are marvelous. The private front garden welcomes you in through the front patio, with its comfortable lounge, grand fern, pomegranate tree and climbing roses. On one side of the house is the seasonal creek, with impressive gigantic bamboo and numerous trees, including an iconic redwood. On the other side of the house is a smaller garden area that showcases some of the owners' own ceramic sculpture and vegetable garden. Behind the house there is an intimate patio with comfortable seating, an outdoor dining table for six surrounded by flowers, herbs, and trees including a fig, apple, and pear.
Even though this house is very close to San Francisco, there's a fair amount of wildlife around. You may see deer by the creek, raccoons scampering along the decks, squirrels and birds, among other wildlife.
Few houses in Mill Valley have air conditioning. Even on the very hottest days of the year, though, this house is comfortable without needing air conditioning because of its reflective roof coating.
This is a primary residence--not a stripped-down rental property--so it's filled with personal effects, and quality art and furnishings. Note that the house isn't kid- or pet-friendly. If you will be traveling with young children, please reach out to us and we will provide you with a more specific description of why we feel that the property is unsuitable.
Even though this is a relatively new listing, the owners have had over 100 great reviews of themselves as AirB__ guests, emphasizing how clean they’ve left the rentals and how great they were to have as guests. Great care has been taken to ensure that this will be a unique, romantic place for guests to stay. The property is well-appointed, extremely comfortable, and meticulously clean. The owners will be readily available by phone and email to answer questions.
Another guest rented the house through a comparable service and left the following review: “ The Oasis is just that. What else could I call it? The house is an experience. At the start of the day, you either go for a walk to The Depot for whatever, because it’s all good. Or have coffee on one of the three side porches. Bamboo cluster, redwood, a garden so lush the ever-present hummingbirds feel spoiled. It is verdant and peaceful. Remote work, it could not be better. Escape hideaway? Perfect. Then there’s the amazing interiors…(If you are lucky you will interact with Dana or Christopher, try and chat outside of house items, they are fascinating). The Outspokentraveler.”
The city of Mill Valley is small (14,000 residents), but packed with services, entertainment, and boutique shops. The Smithsonian Magazine named it as the 4th best small town in America. There are several markets, including two Whole Foods and a farmers market, a cinema, and a wonderful library. There are lots of great walking areas and redwood groves, and the house is right down the street from a park with free tennis courts, two baseball diamonds and a handball court.
Mill Valley is just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito, in Marin County at the foot of Mt. Tamalpais. The mountain bike was invented right here by cyclists who wanted to climb that mountain. It's easy to get to San Francisco by car, by bus, or by ferry from Sausalito. The house is also just a short drive away from lovely beaches, including Muir Beach and Stinson Beach, the huge Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and the world-famous California Wine Country.
