Photos and Description of the Mill Valley vacation house rental
House, 6 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 5.5 Baths, (Sleeps 11)

You will be amazed at how this conveniently located property feels so peaceful and remote. You can enjoy it with your family, as a romantic hideaway or well earned retreat. It is only 20 minutes from San Francisco, 1 mile from downtown Mill Valley, 30 minutes to the Beach or Muir Woods. An excursion to the wine country is just 45 minutes away.

The home offers 3 lovely guest rooms that are included in the basic rental rate. The master has wonderful views of Mount Tam, a private fireplace and Jacuzzi tub. The two other guest rooms also have great views and their own full bathrooms with bath tubs. All the rooms are spacious, bright and warm. The 3 guest rooms are all on the top floor with all day sun and maximum views, and are the primary rentals.

For larger groups additional 4th and 5th* equally lovely bedrooms and a guest cottage can be made available for an extra charge. The extra rooms are on the entry level with a separate entrance possibility. The guest cottage is bright and sunny and detached but shares the bathroom with the 5th bedroom. (see rates below)

*The 5th bedroom can be closed off from the main home with an accordion door and the owner occasionally keeps it for private use when the home is not fully rented and she is in residence. She makes it available for large groups upon request and when she is not in residence. The owner does not have access to the public areas of the primary residence during rentals.

You will want to cook up a storm in the gorgeous kitchen. Counters are granite, cabinets maple and the views, spectacular. The kitchen is open, airy and enjoys all day sun. There is a formal dining room with a gorgeous custom chenille mahogany wood table, living room with sunken fireplace, and cozy family room with a wood burning stove.

The home is spacious with high ceilings, views in every direction hardwood floors and plush carpets in the family room and bedrooms. It is casually elegant with the outside incorporated within. Pictures simply cannot capture the lovely and peaceful ambiance experienced immediately when you enter the front door.

This sun-drenched home offers world class hiking and mountain biking right from the front porch. There are so many day trips and outside adventures available, but you will have a hard time leaving the sun and tranquility of the many decks and pool. Many a day I have gazed at the fog far off in the distance horizon reminding me that my sun drenched home is a magical enclave of warm sunny skies.

In keeping with the gorgeous setting, the home itself is 'green'. The cleaning products are all natural with no artificial fragrances, the soaps and detergent are fragrance free and the pool is solar heated and cleaned with a silver mineral system instead of chlorine.

Treat your self, your family, your friends; come share my peace of heaven on earth.

The home is unique in that it is surrounded by Redwoods yet has all day south facing sun. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful, with a private pool and wonderful views. Situated at the base of Mt. Tam, you can hike and then sun by the pool. Restaurants and shopping in Mill Valley are first class. Or, you can go on sightseeing adventures to Muir Woods, Stinson Beach or Napa. This is a fantastic vacation home or weekend get-a-way. (There is also a trampoline for the kids). Mill Valley offers several day camps for the kids so the entire family can enjoy a real summer vacation.

A Tame Last Night as a Bachelorette (Dinner Party)

Submitted: March 28, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Susan was gracious enough to opened up her home to us - a group of Bay Area girls that spent the day in Wine Country and just did not want to go home. At the end of the day, we descended upon this beautiful house in Mill Valley. We had no idea what to expect and it was absolutely what we were looking for in a night away - great kitchen, big dining room table, big living room area to plan a few games as a group and a bed for each person. It was a warm, private setting. We woke up to a heated hot tub and a sunny deck to greet the morning. It is a wonderful home. Thank you.

Dear Susan - Please add us to your long list of happy renters. Your beautiful, light-filled house was perfect for our annual family get-together. We were so comfortable that we felt at once at home and on vacation. The house was large enough that everyone had plenty of privacy and still we had ample space for gathering. It was in an ideal location for our adult children, not far from San Francisco where they work, yet surrounded by woods. We hiked to the top of Mount Tamalpais, relaxed on the deck, walked around the small village, and explored the pool and trampoline area. In the evening, after dinner, we played games around the big dining room table. In the morning, we awoke to gorgeous views. We enjoyed every minute of our happy weekend in this wonderful house. Many thanks to you for making your home available, for being there to show us around, and for letting us know that you would be available if we needed you. Perfect! Gale

Family reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: August 6, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
A beautiful setting, an ideal location, and a comfortably laid out house made our week's stay a very pleasant success. Surrounded by trees,but with a good view of Mount Tam, the house is nicely screened from neighbors. Just sitting on one of the three deck layers or by the pool is a vacation in itself. The house is tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well-equipped and the beds were comfortable.
San Francisco, Muir Woods, and Stinson Beach were within easy reach. There is a pleasant park very nearby with good trails.The whole setting promoted good interaction among our diverse family.This is
a great place to meet and vacation.Shopping and dining in Mill Valley were quite pleasant. If the weather had been warmer we would have used the pool even more. The owner, a pleasant, enthusiastic person, is very easy to work with and was clear and helpful with all the details. The overall experience exceeded my expectations and will benefit our family richly.

The Forest Home

We had a lovely family reunion at this beautifully situated home. It is located close to nature (Muir Woods, Point Reyes, good hikes) and also San Francisco and other cultural experiences, such as Angel Island and Alcatraz. The owner was very helpful with tips for accommodating our large group. The property was all that we expected and more, such as the trampoline where the young ones spent a lot of time. We all enjoyed having this as the base for our excursions and recommend it highly.

We were very pleased to have chosen this home for our recent weekend trip. The pictures/descriptions were very accurate, and the owner was conscientious & pleasant to work with. All of the critical features of the home were in good working order. The home and its unique location make a great launching point to all of Marin's attractions, as well as the City (San Francisco). A great place to relax & spend time with friends.

All in all, two enthusiastic thumbs-up!
