Mill Valley is full of
wonder and id you are a lucky one you will truly feel the Magic and mystery ! we have a creative hideaway situated on the eastern slope of Mount Tamalpais. Nestled among redwoods, hills and canyons, Mill Valley is only ten minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge and City of San Francisco, yet less than one hour from Sonoma and Napa Wine Country.

Historical Mill Valley has a unique village charm as well as its human environment-uniquely combining tranquility and liveliness, privacy and community involvement. Starting in 1905 with The Dipsea Race, the first cross-country race in the country, Mill Valley has a rich cultural tradition with the Mountain Play in 1913, the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival in 1957, the Marin Theatre Company, a professional regional theatre in 1966, the Mill Valley Film Festival in 1978 and the 142 Throckmorton Theatre recently revived, although in existence since 1915. Re-opened in February 2012, after a lengthly absence, is the Sweetwater Music Hall located in the remodeled Masonic Hall right down town.

Mill Valley is surrounded by the picturesque City of Sausalito, 10 minutes south and the Town of Tiburon 10 minutes east with Angel Island State Park only a one mile ride (via Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry), all on San Francisco Bay.

Great week at this beautiful and well appointed flat with exceptional outdoor space (especially for any ornithologists), in Mill Valley. Our hosts couldn’t have been more helpful, a gem of a place in a really lovely town. We didn’t want to leave.

Beautiful property in an idyllic location
We absolutely loved our recent 4 night stay here. Sally is an excellent host - very friendly welcome and provided really useful information about the local area . Any questions we had were dealt with very quickly. The house itself is beautiful and very well equipped. The various plants and fresh flowers made it feel very homely. The outdoor space was a real highlight for us - comfy sofa, BBQ and dining table surrounded by a very pretty and well maintained garden . Perfect for relaxing in after a day out exploring the local area. The shops and restaurants of Mill Valley are literally a 2 minute walk away and it was so nice to be able to leave the car and walk to one of the nearby restaurants. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to eating out and the very local ‘Mill Valley Market’ is ideal if you decide to stay in and cook. It was nice to stay outside the hustle and bustle of San Francisco but yet be close enough to visit and see the city. A short 20 minute drive and you’re right there in the thick of it! All in all, a wonderful stay and I’d have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

Convenient and Comfortable Stay
My family and I had a wonderful time while staying here. The house is in such a great location to walk to anything you may need. The house is very welcoming and relaxing to just hang out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors but also lounge inside. The stairs to the home were difficult for my MIL but it just depends on your personal mobile abilities. Myself, husband, and kids did just fine, except in the dark you need to be careful. Overall all the house was amazing and the location was wonderful for downtown walking and easy drive to Muir Woods. We would come back for sure!

Mill Valley Bliss!
We stayed at this property 10 years ago and I was thrilled to see it was still available to rent for our most recent visit. It's so charming nestled into the side of the hill. I love that we can wake up and walk to town for a cup of coffee or breakfast. Loved that the Lumberyard across the street has been renovated with shops and restaurants since our last stay. Sally is the best and always so responsive and available to answer any questions we have. If you are looking for a quaint, walkable, charming and clean experience outside of San Francisco this is without a doubt your place!! Oh, and parking is so easy as well! Thank you for everything!!

Great location!
We loved our stay in Mill Valley! There are a lot of steps up to the house, but our kids were old enough to get up and down easily. The house had everything we needed. We loved watching the birds! There are so many great places to walk to from the house, we loved exploring Mill Valley on foot.
