BEAUTIFUL COTTAGE, GREAT VIEWS, CENTRAL TO ACTIVITIES, RESTAURANTS, & OUTSTANDING HOSTS! The cottage is everything we expected and more. Julie was attentive and provided all the comforts of home. When we are in the area we will definitely stay again.
Very quiet and private. Beautiful home with lovely views. Dog friendly! Lots of stairs leading to house from driveway. They are well lit, but could be slippery. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. The towels and linens are top notch! Great home for relaxing and enjoying Mill Valley’s trails, We will definitely return! Thank you Julie.
The property is even better in person.It’s like a gorgeous tree house. Kitchen is well appointed for cooking, beds are comfortable, and views are so pretty. We were traveling with dogs, and the set up was very conducive to well behaved dogs.We would recommend this spot and look forward to coming back.
