Vista Mill Valley has the details inside and outside that warrant your consideration. Inside, the property has nice furnishings, from granite counter tops to the Fisher & Paykel gourmet gas range. The bedroom has an 8 ft glass window and a 10 ft sliding glass door. The living room has another 8 ft window, making the wooded lot a part of your experience. Your unit has its own deck, accessible from the bedroom or the main entrance. Your water view includes Richardson Bay, Tiburon, the Sausalito houseboats, Angel Island, the East Bay hills, and, on a clear night, the lit-up cranes of the Oakland waterfront, across the Bay.

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."

- "We completely enjoyed our time at Tina’s. The room is very large, spacious, comfortable, and clean. We could walk into the charming town of Mill Valley in two minutes and also had easy access to all the other places we like to go when we’re in that area. It is mentioned in the description that the only sink is in the bathroom, but it was easy to work around that for our breakfasts and occasional dinner in the room with take out food. We felt very at home."

Charming and sunny cottage near Downtown
This quiet and charming freestanding 1 bedroom garden cottage is located in the flat and sunny area of beautiful downtown Mill Valley - just minutes from San Francisco! It is beautifully furnished and comes completely equipped with a nice chef's kitchen.
With over 850 square feet, it is more than three times as large as a typical hotel room and offers plenty of ample space. You'll have a complete large chef's kitchen, a sunny dining room, a large living room with a desk area, one bedroom, and as an added bonus a light-filled sunroom to relax.

!!!IMPORTANT information for booking inquiries - please read!!!:
The maximum occupancy is 2 adults. This includes babies and children. Absolutely no extra guests overnight, this includes visitors for just one night.

This cottage offers no ADA features and may not be a good fit for people with mobility issues. There is a total of 7 steps to climb (partly without railing), and the path to the cottage is narrow, rocky and uneven. That makes it hard to navigate with a walker. Please consult all pictures and ask relevant questions if this might be a concern for you.

Please include information about the purpose of your trip in your inquiry (business trip, family visit, tourist, etc.) since we feel much more comfortable renting to someone we 'know' than to a complete stranger ;-). It also helps us to know what you might expect from your stay.

For all stays of 30 nights or more (only available occasionally):
Send a booking inquiry through the "contact owner" or "contact via inbox" button and enter your desired dates. Do not send a booking request, please. If staying for a longer time, please understand that this is a fully furnished cottage and that you can't 'move in' with all of your belongings, house stock, furniture, etc. Maximum stay is limited to 3 weeks for most of the year, occasionally we allow up to 6 weeks (no special discounts granted).

UPDATE: VRBO has installed an automatic 'book it now' feature - since we now only have a few hours time to accept the 'book it now' request we'll automatically decline every 'book it now' request that doesn't have additional information about your group or stay.

Our permit is limited to 2 guests and we reinforce this strictly. If you anticipate additional guests to stay overnight, this cottage is not for you. We only rent to adults, not to families with young children.
We also require a signed and initialed hard copy of the online rental agreement.

The cottage:
This is a completely freestanding small house, not an attached 'studio/apartment': 1 bedroom, one large living room, an extra sunroom, and a separate dining room connected to the large chef's kitchen. Enjoy beautiful hardwood floors, a bathtub, and a sweet backyard garden.

It is located at the end of the property behind the main house, behind a privacy fence and a large set of beautiful bushes and trees, with a big private space for outdoor seating. Your own small basement with a washer and dryer offers additional secure storage space for bikes or surfboards. The basement has a low ceiling and is only accessible through an exterior storm door. The owner lives in the main house in front of the property.

Located in the middle of Mill Valley's most desirable neighborhoods Sycamore and Boyle Park, it is very close to playgrounds, tennis courts, and a golf course. Trailheads and bike paths along the Bay are nearby. Enjoy your morning coffee and a croissant from French bakery "Le Marais" 3 houses down the road, or walk 10 minutes to bustling Lumberyard, Downtown Mill Valley Plaza, shops and boutiques, coffee shops, Library, Mill Valley Art and Film Festival, Mill Valley Market, Community Center with pool and gym, clubs (2 am, Sweetwater), schools, and excellent restaurants.

Had the opportunity to meet the owner and interact with her several times, what a delight and a plus to the experience.Our stay was for a total of 6 weeks, the perfect way to spend a summer." - "This is our second time here. We really enjoyed our stay. Clean comfortable and a world class view. We will be back." - "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!"

- "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."

- "Had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer!" - "We had an exceptional experience at this property, which matched the description perfectly. Parking was a breeze, and locating the lockbox with the keys was straightforward. The interior was spotless and cozy, offering more amenities than we anticipated. The stunning views of the bay and the nearby sea-plane dock were truly spectacular! The exterior deck provided an excellent spot for watching birds and airplanes, adding to the charm of our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring we were well-rested each morning. We loved the convenient access to a nearby paved trail, which made for a delightful walk into Sausalito for breakfast. Additionally, the property’s proximity to Highway 101 made traveling north and south a hassle-free experience.

Sandy was always available through text, and quickly addressed our needs." - "Charming and sweet home, with an ideal location!" - "This beautiful property and huge backyard was the perfect place for my wife’s recuperation after a hospital stay.

- "Check in process was very easy and directions were very clear to locate the property. Nice separation of bedrooms with one bedroom on the top floor and one bedroom on the main floor created privacy during the night. Lots of window windows and light in the property brought the sunshine in during the day, which was nice. Small kitchen, very well stocked and usable. " - "My wife and I recently spent 5 days at this beautiful home. Spacious and in pristine condition. Located amongst the redwoods in a quiet residential area. Three decks provide plenty of outdoor space. A 5-10 min walk down the hill gets you to the town of Mill Valley (coffee shops, restaurants, markets etc). Big bonus for hikers/runners is that the house is about 100 meters from the entrance to the Dipsea trail.

- "The units are essentially separate apartments with spectacular bay views, particularly at sunrise and sunset. We were grateful the weather cooperated allowing us to both relax in an intimate setting as well as exploring the amazing area. It is also a place I would consider going alone, to spend some quiet time to write. The host was great, easy to work with and attentive. The decor and appliances are what I would call upscale modern. An easy place to stay. "

This Redwood Cabin is situated on one acre of land is is surrounded by six acres of natural preserved redwood forests with miles of hiking trails, stunning views of the San Francisco Bay, and peaceful silence and seclusion. While the cabin is truly nestled into a redwood forest, it’s also only a short walk or drive to downtown Mill Valley and only 30minutes away from the heart of San Francisco.

- "Tom’s cabin is an ideal place for a weekend getaway. Peaceful and quiet with beautiful views and lots of hiking nearby yet close enough to town to be convenient. Tom is an excellent host and we will definitely be coming back." - "Unique cabin with a wonderful view! Spotlessly clean and very cozy. Early morning coffee on the deck came with two deer passing within 5 feet of me. Interesting bird watching. Close enough to town to get a pizza or get to a fancy restaurant. The host was wonderful, helpful and eager to provide anything we needed. For a very different and special weekend getaway I would highly recommend."

This unique bungalow is nestled at the top of a hill with deck views that showcase the San Francisco Bay and six counties.

- "Absolutely magical spot in mill valley to take in peace and amazing views. Positive energy felt throughout the home and Muir Glen woods which is very close by. "

Lovely Home and Lush Gardens

Exceptional Opportunity! This lovely, one-story home is 1700 sq. ft. (150m2) in the Streamline Moderne (Art Deco) style, has a large living room and fireplace, dining room, two (2) bedrooms, one of which doubles as a spacious office, two full bathrooms, and a well-appointed, eat-in kitchen.

NOTE: The minimum rental period is 31 days

Very close to the charming downtown of Mill Valley, the house gets a terrific walk score of 86 (Very Walkable).

The kitchen features high-end appliances (Viking stove and microwave, Miele washer, dryer, and dishwasher, and Liebherr refrigerator) and a charming breakfast table with two chairs overlooking the garden. Off the kitchen is a lovely nook with an exercise bicycle.

The private main bedroom, with its queen-sized bed, has lovely windows looking out over the beautiful greenery surrounding the seasonal creek. In addition, it has a comfortable sofa, coffee table, chest of drawers, and two closets. It also has a large flat screen TV with hundreds of channels, including HBO and Showtime.

The second bedroom at the front of this beautiful home looks out on to the lush, private, front garden and courtyard. It has a comfortable sofa bed, and includes large, built-in, white laminate working desks with two comfortable work stations and bookshelves. It is perfect for those who work from home.

The whole house, including the office, is served by our high-speed Wi-Fi network.

The gardens are marvelous. The private front garden welcomes you in through the front patio, with its comfortable lounge, grand fern, pomegranate tree and climbing roses. On one side of the house is the seasonal creek, with impressive gigantic bamboo and numerous trees, including an iconic redwood. On the other side of the house is a smaller garden area that showcases some of the owners' own ceramic sculpture and vegetable garden. Behind the house there is an intimate patio with comfortable seating, an outdoor dining table for six surrounded by flowers, herbs, and trees including a fig, apple, and pear.

Even though this house is very close to San Francisco, there's a fair amount of wildlife around. You may see deer by the creek, raccoons scampering along the decks, squirrels and birds, among other wildlife.

Few houses in Mill Valley have air conditioning. Even on the very hottest days of the year, though, this house is comfortable without needing air conditioning because of its reflective roof coating.

This is a primary residence--not a stripped-down rental property--so it's filled with personal effects, and quality art and furnishings. Note that the house isn't kid- or pet-friendly. If you will be traveling with young children, please reach out to us and we will provide you with a more specific description of why we feel that the property is unsuitable.

Even though this is a relatively new listing, the owners have had over 100 great reviews of themselves as AirB__ guests, emphasizing how clean they’ve left the rentals and how great they were to have as guests. Great care has been taken to ensure that this will be a unique, romantic place for guests to stay. The property is well-appointed, extremely comfortable, and meticulously clean. The owners will be readily available by phone and email to answer questions.

Another guest rented the house through a comparable service and left the following review: “ The Oasis is just that. What else could I call it? The house is an experience. At the start of the day, you either go for a walk to The Depot for whatever, because it’s all good. Or have coffee on one of the three side porches. Bamboo cluster, redwood, a garden so lush the ever-present hummingbirds feel spoiled. It is verdant and peaceful. Remote work, it could not be better. Escape hideaway? Perfect. Then there’s the amazing interiors…(If you are lucky you will interact with Dana or Christopher, try and chat outside of house items, they are fascinating). The Outspokentraveler.”

The city of Mill Valley is small (14,000 residents), but packed with services, entertainment, and boutique shops. The Smithsonian Magazine named it as the 4th best small town in America. There are several markets, including two Whole Foods and a farmers market, a cinema, and a wonderful library. There are lots of great walking areas and redwood groves, and the house is right down the street from a park with free tennis courts, two baseball diamonds and a handball court.

Mill Valley is just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito, in Marin County at the foot of Mt. Tamalpais. The mountain bike was invented right here by cyclists who wanted to climb that mountain. It's easy to get to San Francisco by car, by bus, or by ferry from Sausalito. The house is also just a short drive away from lovely beaches, including Muir Beach and Stinson Beach, the huge Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and the world-famous California Wine Country.

Peaceful - Comfortable - Well-Equipped

- "Beautiful Home w/Lush Gardens We loved our stay in Mill Valley. There are multiple different beautiful outside gardens, large & small, very inviting, with lovely outdoor seating, lighting, and an amazing sound / speaker system. We loved that! We were able to entertain our friends very comfortably and do plenty of dancing outside. The kitchen is totally workable, with super high end equipment. In the rest of the house, there is quite a lot of artwork, paintings, ceramics, sculptures . . . so I don't recommend this home if you have little children. There is a large room in the front that can serve as an office / studio if you are working remotely, with a big walk in closet for storage. The one thing that you should know is that there is really just one true bedroom, the other is a small room with a skylight, a bed, a tv, and pocket doors (no windows). I couldn't really tell this from the photos. There is also a sleeping nook off the kitchen, but with a curtain instead of a wall, so it's not at all private. We had a wonderful time here and the walk to town is very quick, with nice restaurants and coffee places. The host leaves very detailed instructions, information, and tips. It's also very easy to park right in front of the house, which we appreciated. Highly recommend! Date of arrival - August 12, 2022 Reservation ID #HA-BRFFR0"
