About this property

MV homebase. Walk to downtown/Mt Tam/SF/Muir Woods

Homebase... the perfect place to unwind during your explorations. Relax on your private deck w/ morning coffee or enjoy the complimentary chocolate & wine.

IDEAL CENTRAL LOCATION: We're midway between Mill Valley downtown (1/2 mile walk); trails to Mt. Tam (3/4 mile), Cascade Falls (1.4 miles); Muir Woods (4 miles); Golden Gate Bridge/San Francisco (8 miles); Muir Beach (6.6 miles) & Napa wine country (probably 100 wineries within an hour of us).

THE SPACE:
This is an attached in-law unit on the end of a large house. You have your own private entrance & have two private parking spaces. Once you enter the unit, the primary bedroom w/ a daybed that makes into a king bed is located to your right. Upstairs, you will find a large studio w/ a queen bed, a small but complete kitchen (apt sized frig, countertop oven, single burner hotplate, blender, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, etc.), living area w/65” HDTV and a queen sleeper sofa, and a full bathroom. Outside there is a small private deck with a BBQ and a firepit.
Please note that you have to go into the studio in order to get to the bathroom. So the studio does not have complete privacy from the primary bedroom if the people in the primary bedroom need to use the bathroom.
We provide K-cups and complimentary chocolate and a bottle of wine (or sparkling cider if you prefer).

PEACEFUL SECLUSION IN NATURE: Nestled on a little over an acre so there are no close neighbors. There are dozens of redwoods & a seasonal creek on the property. Deer come by daily. No worries about parking as we have our own off-street parking.


TESLA CHARGER: Tesla charger available upon request (you must let us know before arrival)..

WHOLE HOUSE GENERATOR: We are not affected by power outages.

TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER: Unlimited hot water for even the largest families.

HIGH SPEED 1 Gig FIBER WIFI. Both TVs are set up to stream Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple & HBO.

ONSITE ASSISTANCE: Owners are on site in the main house. We are here to assist you & interact w/ you if you desire. Conversely, we respect your privacy & are happy to leave you alone if you desire.

Hosts and cleaning staff are fully vaccinated & boosted.

Why they chose this property

My partner and I were looking for the perfect location... and we found it! This incredible gem that is Mill Valley. This rural setting just north of San Francisco has an amazing combination of low density, yet central location and easy access to all the great attractions in the Bay Area. Mill Valley was named #4 best small town in America by Smithsonian Magazine. It has an amazing walkable downtown with dozens of shops, restaurants, live entertainment, movie theatre, etc.
Our property in particular is ideally situated in that it is only a 1/2 mile walk or 1 mile drive to downtown... and... it is also has multiple trails that lead to Mt. Tamalpais (the jewel of the Bay Area) that start as little as 3/4 of a mile from the house.
But wait... there's more. Cascade Falls is just over a mile away; Muir Woods is only 4 miles; the Golden Gate Bridge/San Francisco are just 8 miles; Muir Beach is just 7 miles and the Napa wine country is less than an hour away (probably 100 wineries within 50 miles of us).
Finally, the house is on a little over an acre so there are no close neighbors.
PS: One more huge factor for Mill Valley. A lot of homes do not have parking. But we have off street parking for two guest vehicles at the end of our driveway.
