Wonderful location and beautiful property

We had a wonderful and memorable vacation in this home! The location was perfect, the view from the deck was incredible, and the home was well furnished, organized, artful, and clean. The property manager was excellent. She kept us informed and was very helpful and responsive. We will absolutely keep this home in mind next time we are staying north of the bay area.

Great space, deck and view

We loved our two week stay here, probably as much as any VRBO stay we have had across California. The open plan living space is wonderful but it is the wonderful, large deck and fantastic views that make the place truly special. We will definitely go back for a repeat visit.

Delightful Mill Valley home

The house is lovely and lovingly cared for. It is very comfortable and well provisioned. The deck and views are amazing and the proximity to town is great. The property manager and the owner were great! I would highly recommend the property. It is probably one of the best VRBO's I have stayed in.

As beautiful as advertised - location adds to the magic!

From booking to the final day, my partner and I enjoyed this experience sooooo much! We stayed for 10 days to visit family, who live in downtown Mill Valley. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise every morning, lovely natural light during the day, and were able to take a 15-minute walk to Sweetwater & the Depot every afternoon. The house is very clean and with plenty of storage space in the bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen has all the amenities you could want, huge plus! The only downside, (that we missed upon booking), is that the hot tub is really a bath tub, which remains empty until you fill it yourself prior to using it. Totally understand the reasons for installing it like this, but we ended up not using it at all since it wasn't as convenient. That said, 5 stars and I would stay here again and again!!

The house is downright amazing. All the comforts of home and a massive view!

Overall the experience was seamless. Location and view were our top favorites. A perfect dwelling for relaxation, getting around the Bay Area, and proximity to countless hikes helped to make our stay so memorable. The view from the terrace showcases the bay below and the SF cityscape in the distance. Amazing sunrises!!

Talk about a Home with a View!

Overall fantastic visit. Amazing treetop views of SanFrancisco and the Bay. Home is light filled, chic and so comfortable with wonderful amenities for cooking etc. the drive up to the home a bit tricky for those not familiar with the narrow curves /one lane passing but worth it to reach such a soothing and relaxing. The support from the property manager terrific and so helpful. We loved our visit and hope to return again.

Incredible place

My husband and I stayed at this place for an incredible week. It is the perfect romantic getaway. We had never been to the area and had plans to do many things, but it was a struggle to leave the property. It was simply serene and so wonderful just to sit out on the gorgeous deck with the amazing views. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for cooking. I wouldn’t have changed one thing about the place and will definitely be coming back for longer stays.

As good as it gets

The home is stunning with a large deck overlooking the city. A 10 minute walk through beautiful Mill Valley streets brings you to town center and a 5 minute walk leads you to one of the more spectacular hiking trails in the area. The location could not be better, the place itself if beautiful and well-appointed. It's hard to imagine a better property in Marin. Thank you for the exceptional stay!

Great Retreat

Beautiful setting and furnishings. Really enjoyed our stay as the place was very comfortable and well stocked.. The only draw back was the reluctance to keep filling the outdoor tub due to the drought circumstances. A hot tub that didn't require refilling each time would had been ideal. Thank you for sharing your special place with us.

Perfect for 2

Loved the location, great walking access to the miles of criss crossing fire roads that link to Mt Tam. Short distance into downtown Mill Valley, but a very steep uphill climb coming back, we mostly drove. House is well equipped for 2, loved the sweeping views with SF clearly seen in the distance. We were here in the winter so couldn’t enjoy the big deck, it must be lovely in warmer months. Very comfortable amount of space, nice decor. Highly reccomend!

Perfect stay!

We enjoyed our stay in Mill Valley at this house which is accurately described and perfectly located to enjoy all that SF and MV offers. If you can manage the streets, steps and paths of MV, the house is ideally located. We spent most of our time outdoors on trails, in wine country and SF. When you are back indoors, you feel like you’re still outdoors bc of the windows and views. Very responsive hosts with fabulous book of notes on house and recommendations. Everything worked in the house.

A little peace of Heaven

A wonderful little place at the top of the winding hill for a restful vacation in around Muir Woods area of Mill Valley!! We loved our stay and enjoyed the deck and the wild life like the humming birds, deer and birds!!! We were there for the birth our grand baby and enjoyed being able to relax with a fully stocked kitchen and all the necessities that we needed. It is a quick drive to the quaint city of Mill Valley with great places to eat and quick access to the highway for more adventures. Thank you, Elenora for allowing us to enjoy your home. We for sure will stay again when the time comes!!!!

Fabulous house, fabulous view!

This is our second stay at Eleonora's magical Mill Valley home. We so fell in love with it the first time, we had to come back to "our" private retreat. The wonderful location and view, sleek modern design, incredible artwork, comfortable furnishings, and awesome bed combine to make this a cozy and welcoming home for a Marin or San Francisco stay. We enjoyed hiking the ridge-top just up (and I do mean up) the street, going into the City, and sampling great restaurants in Mill Valley and Corte Madera. I'm sure we'll be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Eleonora Manzolini

I have been happily living in this house since I purchased it. It is my home, but given the fact that I travel a lot, I have decided to share it with sensitive travelers that would enjoy the same things I do - the peace and quiet, the sun, the outdoor activities and the proximity of a beautiful city such as San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

The views and the privacy are spectacular!

What makes this property unique

The house is spacious, modern, light and beautifully furnished. I have a lot of books, music and unusual art, and a very sunny deck where I like to sit and read, take a tub or simply lounge and get a tan.

I love to walk to town at sunset for a little shopping, and I love to hike the trails right behind my house where I can enjoy sweeping views of the entire Bay area.

Mill Valley is a quaint little town with good restaurants, 2 Whole Foods markets, a farmer's market on Friday, great shops, theater's and a very convenient gym and health spa facility. It is only 25/30 minutes from downtown San Francisco, close to the beaches and not far from the Napa Valley. The weather is sunnier than in San Francisco, but it rarely gets too hot. My house is in a perfect neighborhood for a woman traveling a lot, and I never have to lock my door when I'm home and feel perfectly safe.
