About this property

Cozy Quiet Cottage Close to Trails, Wine Country & SF and Lots of Light!

Off the market since 2024, this cozy, quiet, and completely private free-standing cottage is filled with natural light and feels like a treehouse tucked among the 5 magnificent redwoods. A family of deer is often seen in the yard, adding to the peaceful setting. It's feels like a great getaway but is close to everything.

The fully-furnished, immaculate one-bedroom features a very comfortable king-size bed, a small office with a desk, wood floors, a recently updated bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen with a gas stove. The living room is comfortable and inviting, and a full-size washer and dryer are included. There is also a small locked storage area in the carport.

The cottage has covered carport parking and is accessed by 13 stairs leading up to the living area. It’s less than 10 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, 5–10 minutes from Muir Woods, world-class hiking and biking trails, and just 40 minutes from wine country. The walking/bike path from Mill Valley to Sausalito is just steps away.

A great selection of shops and restaurants is nearby, with Whole Foods, Safeway, and Good Earth all within one mile. Walking trails lead into Sausalito and to nearby restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Rusty

Host profile image
My family has been in the Bay Area for generations and survived the San Francisco earthquake in 1906. My grandmother owned a cottage on Mt. Tamalpais in the 1920's. My father helped put up some of the original hiking trail signs on the mountain. I came back to Mill Valley when I was working as a CNN correspondent in San Francisco. I've traveled all over the world and Mill Valley is one of the most wonderful spots on earth.

Why they chose this property

Mill Valley is so close to one of the world's great cities, has numerous great restaurants and charm, yet it's minutes to be on hiking trails with gorgeous views and no one around. Trips to the wine country in Napa and Sonoma Valleys are 40 minutes away. This is the cottage on the property of my main house but is separated by trees, stairs and a deck. Because there are two redwoods just feet from the windows and small deck, you feel like you are in a tree-house. But there are many windows and LOTS of light. It feels very private yet, so close to everything by walking or by car.

There is also a small spa walking distance down the hill where you can get a massage.

Mill Valley has a film festival every October featuring international filmakers and their work. There are also a number of small coffee houses,art galleries and boutiques in town. For entertainment, the Throckmorton Theater has a variety of music, plays, and comedy. Also Sweetwater is a club which features a variety of musical acts. Nearby is the Green Gulch Farm, a Buddhist retreat featuring classes and organic produce.

Sausalito is only a couple miles away and you can walk or drive to this charming town right on San Francisco Bay which is very European in feel. There is also a great art festival there every September.

There are several state and federal recreation areas for hikers and bikers within ten miles of Mill Valley. Not only is there Muir Woods, with it's gorgeous huge redwoods, but Mt. Tamalpais where some of the first mountain bikes were designed to ride on the fire trails. Stinson Beach and Muir Beach are both quaint beach towns just over the hill from Mill Valley.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with the property because it was SO close to where I worked in San Francisco, yet I felt like I was miles away from the rest of the world. The cottage is very private and quiet with soaring redwoods outside, yet lots of windows make it very light and cheery.
