Why Mill Valley?
Mill Valley is popular for visitors from around the world because it is minutes from San Francisco, yet a world apart. Famous for its wooded hillsides and water views, Mill Valley has been the home of many notables, from Jerry Garcia to Janis Joplin. Grab a coffee in our downtown, and you might just recognize a few of our current residents.

If you've not been the the San Francisco Bay Area before, do stay in San Francisco for at least one night. But then come join us here in Mill Valley, for the perfect northern California experience.

Why this property?
Before putting this unit on the market we completed a major remodel, taking much of the property down to the studs. All the small details - sophisticated lighting, built-in speakers, etc. - contribute to a great experience. The kitchen is small, so we made it special, with a gourmet gas range, granite counter tops, etc. The deck was always nice, but we made it nicer, with Brazilian teak, and cable railings. And the exterior path and steps have been redesigned, to better leverage the garden.

Mill Valley has many wonderful properties, but some of them are time-consuming to get to. This property is only 1.1 miles from the freeway ramp.

Two considerations: 1) Like many San Francisco, Sausalito and Mill Valley properties, this unit does not have air conditioning. 2) It's about 40 steps to the unit. Not 40 in a row (there are multiple landings) and most of the steps are low-rise, but do read the reviews and make sure the property is right for you. Thanks!

April 14, 2025 - In the interest of full disclosure, construction on a new home just down the street has started. So far the noise has not been an issue, but I never want guests to feel that they weren’t told about something that they should have been. I think my property is benefitting by the fact that the construction site isn’t actually visible from the rental - because of the slope of the hillside plus some trees that are in the way. The crews also seem to pack-up by 4:30pm - that’s common in the Bay Area since evening traffic can be bad and “the trades” try to be in front of the worst of the commute. Reach out if you have any questions!

Aug 14, 2025 update: The structure is in the framing stage now; that means hammers. Marin County allows construction noise to begin at 8am, and this seems to be happening. The good news: so far, all construction activity is over by 4pm each day. Some periods are weirdly quiet. Again, reach-out to me if you have any questions.

- "Very relaxing. Unit is clean and has a beautiful view. Bill is organized and was attentive." - "Bill’s place in Mill Valley is just beautiful! He has thought of every detail. His place is immaculate, close to town and so comfortable!….and did I mention the view from the deck? Great place to enjoy an evening conversation or drink or both!" - "We could not have asked for a better place to stay on our visit to Mill Valley. Not only was the apartment very clean and organized, it was within walking distance to family. There was an amazing view that we took advantage of, too. This location is close to the things we love to do (biking, hiking, Muir & Stinson Beaches, Point Reyes, restaurants & shopping). And not far away are great outdoor places to explore. Bill was extremely helpful and responsive. We hope to stay here again on our next visit to CA."

- "Großartig" - "This location was perfect for our stay. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us, the kitchen was well stocked, and the beds and couch were very comfortable. Jessie had thought of everything. The night we got in it was late and we were tired but the kids were hungry. A box of Mac n cheese was left on the counter for us to use. The kids were thrilled. Mill Valley is the perfect location for a Northern California vacation. It has cute shops, yummy restaurants and just the nicest people. I would highly recommend this property."

This large studio is the lower unit of a house built in 1965. My wife and I live upstairs, above this apartment - 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.
The small kitchenette has a Coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave oven, and toaster. It is not setup for cooking.
Perfect for weekend getaways or even a week of sight seeing in the Bay Area, our apartment offers quiet serenity and comfort.

- "Very nice place, clean, beautiful view off the deck. Owner was great to work with. Recommended. " - "We had an enjoyable stay at Haven in the Trees! It’s a 25 minute drive to Stinson Beach, 15 minutes from San Francisco, and is situated in the heart of trail hiking heaven. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the back deck for resting and enjoying the trees and views. Mitch and Susan were super friendly! Thanks for a great stay!" - "Such a peaceful place to rest after the hustle and bustle of being in the city. Mitch and Susan's place is simple, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We all slept like babies while we were there. Thank you!"

We will definitely rebook with Harold and this property again" - "What a great property in such a unique setting. Harold was attentive, responsive and helped make our stay great. This place is awesome." - "We had to get out of our home in a hurry and found this little gem on the water a surprising and relaxing get away during difficult times.
