Sometimes I rent to people who stay at my house with me. The rent is then lower, and I LOVE to play host and guide to fun renters!
Experience has shown me that I had better underline the fact that I can not accept any pets, no matter how loveable and well-mannered. I can send many more pictures if you would like to see them!
$2000/wk. + utilities. Referrals, security and cleaning deposits. I am the owner and my name is Gayle. Stunning Beauty, Fresh clean air, quiet (on dead-end street), walking access to trails on Mt. Tam and closeness to Mill Valley center and to San Francisco are the delights this house offers.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1987
Hello!
I am an author living in a huge and lovely home. I love to travel for my ice skating, tango and ballroom dancing and to live and study Italian in Rome and practice my French in Europe. I usually go on vacation when renters arrive, but I have greatly enjoyed occasionally staying in my house when renters come from Europe and are looking for a social and linguistic connector! My last guests from Switzerland were fabulous chefs, fun people, and we enjoyed long evenings of discussion at delicious dinner parties.
Why the Owner Chose Mill Valley
Living in Mill Valley is like being on a perpetual vacation. Behind my house, I walk to extensive state park Mount Tamalpais trails, some lead to the sea via a lovely restaurant, the Mountain Home Inn. Centre ville- or the center of Mill valley is a 20 minute lovely walk to cafes and our charming village, arts movie theater, and playhouse. The City (San Francisco) is nearby while I can view it from the tranquility and sweet fragrances of the redwoods. My house is on a downhill slope above the tree, with two roads that are quiet dead ends. What more could one ask?
