About this property

Haven in the trees, minutes from hiking trails

This is a sweet retreat nestled in the eucalyptus trees, a 5-10 minute drive from hiking trails in the Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, Muir Beach and Green Gulch Farm, 15 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.
This large studio is the lower unit of a house built in 1965. My wife and I live upstairs, above this apartment and you may hear us moving about. Recently renovated with new furniture, the apartment is fresh, light-filled and private. Surrounded by trees, it truly feels like a private haven.
You must be able to climb 7 steps for access to and from the driveway to the entrance.
The small kitchenette is not setup for cooking. It has a mini fridge (no freezer), coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave oven, toaster, dishes, flatware, cups, and glasses.
It's designed for 2 guests, but can sleep up to 4.
Perfect for weekend getaways or even a week of sight seeing in the Bay Area, our apartment offers quiet serenity and comfort.
Relax and enjoy our private deck.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What a unique, comfortable place! It felt a bit like we were staying in a cabin in the woods, but it was still close to stores, restaurants, and hiking trails. We had everything we needed, and the hosts were great. Highly recommend!

A very cozy, quiet little “pied-a-terre”. We were very comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely coastal fog. A welcome break from Central California. It’s central location made it easy to drive out to the Marine headlands, Sausalito, hiking trails, and Old Mill Valley. The minimal kitchenette was more than sufficient for our needs. We would enjoy visiting here again.

We love Muir Beach, and this place is about 12 minutes up and over the hill from there! less than 10 minutes the other direction are an excellent grocery store and several nice places to eat. Beds were comfortable with good sheets & pillows, mini kitchen perfectly adequate and the bathroom well appointed with good towels, wash cloths and bathmats.I'll be back!

A perfect weekend getaway!

I had a wonderful stay at Haven in the Woods with two adults and one child. The place was exactly as described—peaceful, quiet, and tucked away in a beautiful wooded setting. It was the perfect setup for our small family, offering a relaxing retreat while still being conveniently close to Muir Woods and the Golden Gate Recreation Area. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the hosts were excellent at communicating throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene escape in nature with easy access to nearby attractions.

Excellent Property

Mitch and Susan were excellent at communication, their info book was chock full of good recommendations; the apartment itself was spotless; Susan's art on the walls was a welcome personal touch (so nice to see original art and not Home Goods-type art!). The bed is super comfy. The view from the deck (which was a very nice deck) was inspiring. Great shower. Thanks for the parking spot. We would definitely stay here again and hope to on a return trip for more art, more hiking and more wine-tasting.

A Welcome Retreat, Close To The City

We stayed at Have In The Trees for a week in summer 2024, as part of an extended roadtrip. The place was immaculate, quiet, and the perfect jump off point to various spots north of SF, as well as the city itself. The hosts were very responsive, and we had everything we needed for our brief stay! If we're ever back in the area, this will be our go-to spot.

Comfy and Close to Everything

We had an enjoyable stay at Haven in the Trees! It’s a 25 minute drive to Stinson Beach, 15 minutes from San Francisco, and is situated in the heart of trail hiking heaven. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the back deck for resting and enjoying the trees and views. Mitch and Susan were super friendly! Thanks for a great stay!

Mill Valley Gem

We had a great girls weekend and the accommodations did not dissapoint! Perfect location that felt like you had a remote mountain getaway yet just a few minutes from adorable downtown Mill Valley and 15 minutes from Muir Woods! Our host was super responsive and we enjoyed some of the local recs that were in the welcome booklet. The kitchenette was great with all the basic needs. Beds were comfy and whole place was very clean!

Mill Valley Get Away

Was looking for a place just outside SF and am very glad I found this place. It was perfect for our weekend getaway to SF. Close to beautiful Muir Woods and the Golden Gate. We had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see and visit. The place was quiet, clean, and had everything you would expect to enjoy. The view from the deck is spectacular, especially during sunrise and sunset. Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area again and would recommend to anyone who appreciates nature.

Peaceful retreat

Stayed here with my adult daughter for annual mother-daughter getaway. The attraction was Muir Woods and Mill Valley. This place was perfectly located for both. Mitch the owner was as hospitable as can be. The place was super clean and updated. Peaceful views of towering Eucalyptus can be enjoyed from the inside and from attached deck. Kitchenette has all necessary features for snacks and coffee/tea. Updated bath was well supplied. Overall a most pleasant experience.

Why they chose this property

Our place is a "best of both worlds" location. The natural beauty of this area is abundant. While it may seem that our home is far away from everything, we are also only about 20 minutes from San Francisco. We are less than a 10 minute drive to Sausalito, Muir Woods, Mt Tamalpais, Green Gulch Zen Center, and Muir Beach. 25 minute scenic drive to beautiful Stinson Beach. About an hour drive to Point Reyes National Seashore, or the Napa and Sonoma wine growing regions. There are many restaurants, cafes, and markets nearby.
