We stayed just over a week at this property, it was clean and well maintained as the owners reside there on a permanent basis. They move out when you rent the property so the downside is there are lot of their personal belongings photos etc. There wasn’t a hug amount of space in the kitchen to put our provisions. The property is within walking distance of the town of Mill Valley which has some great restaurants, our favorites were Sol Food and La Playa. The house is as it looks in the middle of the woods which is very pretty and quiet.

Beautiful home in a magical setting!
My family spent a few nights here during which time we were able to reconnect and rejuvenate, after the kids being away at college all year. The home and environment is unique in that they are practically symbiotic- the delights of this beautiful home blend in with the redwood forest surrounding the home. There is a hot tub under the trees that is perfect. The kitchen has all you need, grill out back. Perfect patio out back where you can read, relax, tai chi, get together, or dine. There is plenty of room to be together and have space to spread out. The hostess is readily responsive, friendly and reasonable. I have to figure out how to return in the future! 😄

The photos don't do justice to this amazing home
We had the most wonderful time at this lovely property. It was so clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for anything you might need to cook. The beds are VERY comfy. The master bathroom is stunning- esp the bath overlooking the yard outside. We spent as much time as possible outside in the wonderland retreat. The hot tub is lovely esp at night. This is on of my fav VRBOS ever.

Great place to stay with your girlfriends
We had an awesome time on the weekend we stayed! We mostly explored everything the 1st day and there was so much to look at! The 4 bedrooms were super comfy and the nature and front yard was absolutely breathtaking! We had a blast in the hot tub sitting among the redwood trees and listen to nature! The only cons we had was the staircase leading down to the 2nd living room was a little steap and worried if some slipped and fell, the twins bed were a little springy and bounce to you could fall out and the address takes to the gate over the bridge instead of over by the driveway so if you are driving at night it’s a little confusing! But it was for my friends 40th and it was well worth the trip! And you can take Ubers if you don’t want to drive into the city and you get to go across the Golden Gate Bridge every time! 9/10 experience for sure and hopefully will be able to return soon!
