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.

This is a great little spot to relax and stay like a local. Tucked in a residential nook up a winding road on a hill, this sweet spot is super clean and has a great little deck with Eucalyptus right out the window. Hosts are very responsive and great communicators.

We highly recommend this property if you want a quiet place in the woods after touring “the city”. It’s only minutes away from the hustle and bustle of SF. Mill Valley and Muir Woods are just minutes away. Mill Valley has great restaurants and grocery stores. Very tranquil sitting on the deck among the treetops. The hosts were very helpful in supplying us with a fan when the temperature one day was way above normal. Plates, cups (including wine glasses), silverware, coffee and filters for coffee pot, sink and MWave are supplied. TV with Roku was easy to use. We will definitely return.

This little place in the mountains overlooking the trees was absolutely perfect. The deck was a gorgeous place to watch the sunset. Mitch & Susan were terrific hosts and had great communication complete with restaurant recommendations. Our plans changed and we got in a day late… and they even offered us another night stay.

Host profile image

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.
