Blue Sky Cottage is one-of-a-kind. It is a lovely, serene cottage on a magical property in a prime location. The cottage is large at 800 SF, and is freshly renovated head-to-toe. It has a new kitchen, large new bath and much more. Appliances, fixtures, linens, furnishings, cookware etc. are all top quality. The great room, with peaked ceilings, windows all around and skylights, is airy and filled with light. It is serene with soft blue walls and yummy colors, and opens onto a large deck.

There is a very comfortable American Leather queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Linens and pillows are good quality throughout. We take sleep quality seriously here! Designed by the owner, an artist, the cottage sings with color - from the sky blue exterior to the sunshine yellow front door to the lively kitchen tiles. Overall the cottage is fresh, chic, peaceful with a cheerful vibe.
The cottage is nestled in a very private 2-acre gated property filled with gardens, woodlands and redwood groves - a magical oasis! Most guests are quite astonished when they arrive at this property. The property features an historic Victorian main house (where the hosts live) and two rental cottages, grouped around a common lawn and gardens. The lawn is available for all to use - perfect for picnics, little ones or play with your puppy. Behind the house and cottages are wild woodlands, and wildlife spottings are common: red-tailed hawks, owls, foxes, raccoons, hummingbirds and deer all make the rounds here.
The property is in a prime location, central to everything - the perfect base for exploring the Bay Area. It is in sunny Central Marin, clear of the fog belts of Mill Valley or Sausalito. San Francisco is 30 min to the south, wine country is 45 min to the north, and all of beautiful Marin surrounds you. Marin is world-famous for it's abundance of hiking, mountain biking and other outdoorsy fun, not to mention great food and shops. The property has multiple great hikes and bike paths nearby and is easy walking distance to brunch, dinner or deli in sweet downtown Kentfield.
The owners live on the property, in the main house, and are usually available to help with anything you need.

ROSIE: The property comes with an adorable resident mini-bernadoodle named Rosie. We allow her to roam our fenced property and play on the lawn. She is entirely friendly and loves people and other dogs! She fancies herself a guard dog so she sometimes barks at new people (sorry!), but she warms up quickly. She is very sweet so feel free to say hello if you'd like!

This is beautiful little gem of a place. We stayed for a week for a conference at the Seminary in San Anselmo. This was an ideal location, quiet, sunny and super comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone for a peaceful retreat. Kitchen is very well equipped and beds are very comfortable. The space is beautifully arranged, can’t say enough about our time there.

We had a very nice stay at the cottage. It was clean and the perfect size for a group of 3 adults. Parking could be a little tight with a full size suv if someone else is parked next to you, but we had a sedan so it was fine. Conveniently located whether you want to go north or south, plan accordingly for tolls in a rental car! Inbound to SF over bridges had tolls and we didn't know, lol! Grocery store and some small shops and restaurants are conveniently located down the road.

The cottage was lovely! The parking was very difficult to navigate, as the adjacent space driver took up more tgan their share, so the complicated backing up past the "automatic gate" swerving to not nick 2 lovely trees and roots was really unnerving. If there were a manual gate opening guests could use, it was ould all work well, without 5 minutes of back and wheel-twisting.Also, lots of ants all over the kitchen, despite the little catchers on the counters. Likely a time of year, but would be good to figure out. We kept all food in the fridge to keep it 'safe' :)Great location, lovely ambiance!

I had the pleasure of staying at this newly renovated cozy cottage for 4 weeks while my house was itself being renovated. The finishes and aesthetic are modern and the open floor plan and high ceilings make the cottage feel spacious. The grounds are beautiful and tranquil. Jenny was always responsive to my questions/needs, and I appreciated that I could have my dog at the cottage. I highly recommend a stay at this lovely cottage!

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Jenny Israel
I am a native of Marin, and love everything about it! Hiking, beach barbecues on Muir Beach, Mountain Home Theater, burritos in the Mission, Fairfax Scoop, wine tasting in Napa... the list goes on and on.
I love Marin even more as I took a long detour from it. Our three children were born and raised in NYC, and I persuaded the family to move back here in 2013. Quite the change, brownstone Brooklyn to nature-filled Marin! We love both but are so happy to have landed back here.
I am an artist, small business owner and Mom. I love snuggling with Rosie, hiking, hanging with the family, reading on the porch, dinner with friends and hosting guests on our magical property! My husband Sandy is a professional musician and teacher. We are a relaxed, creative family.
My motto? I guess it would be: 'Have a gratitude attitude.'
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
A huge attraction of this property is Marin County itself, one of the most magical places on earth. Marin is famous worldwide for it's astounding natural beauty and the huge amount of land protected for public enjoyment. There are few places on the planet where you can hike, mountain bike, surf, sail, horseback ride and camp on thousands of acres of untouched wilderness, all within an hour of a major city. The variety of fun to be had in the area is unmatched: all the restaurants, museums and shopping of SF, the stunning beauty and outdoorsy lifestyle of Marin, plus wine country just 40 minutes north.
Kentfield is a charming little town in central Marin, an area with the mildest, sunniest, most lovely year-round weather you can imagine. It has several very good restaurants, a gourmet market, bike paths, a school with a big field to kick a ball around, and loads of small town charm. It's one of a string of such small towns along the Ross Valley, all very special. I grew up the next town over, in Ross, and have always wanted to come back. Can you tell I love this place?
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
I first became intrigued with our property when I heard of it's unique history. The property was owned by the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and the house and two cottages were built in 1890-1905. They were together known as "The St. Francis Outings Club", a summer and weekend retreat for Catholic women, both nuns and laypeople. Catholic factory-worker girls from the city were invited here to relax and reflect. In the Main House (118), the two central living spaces were used as prayer rooms and had pews as late as the 1970's. The Musician's Cottage (117) was the Mother Superior's private quarters, while the other cottage (116) was a barn or garage. A path through the woods had the 12 Stations-of-the-Cross, some of which remained until the 1970's.
Those were the roots, but several incarnations followed. In 1946 the property was bought by a retired war colonel. When his widow died in 1978 the property was sold, used as a rental, and fell into disrepair. We've heard that it became something of a wild place, with a bit of a local reputation, fitting for its' times. It was then reclaimed by the owners before us, and lovingly restored. We've continued this effort.
We love all the long and varied history of this property. The property is all at once a spiritual retreat, a colonel's home, a flop house, and now the happy home of two artists and their family. All of these layers are present in historic properties like this.
