2 Bedroom Cottage in Greenbrae, Kentfield

This lovely cottage was originally a music studio for the owner, a performing musician and teacher. Now in its second life as a guest cottage, you can still feel the happy vibe of the space! Fully renovated in Sept. of 2020, the large 1200sf space is fresh, upscale, and very Marin. The light-filled great room has soaring 20' ft. ceilings and walls of windows looking out onto woodlands. The cottage is located in a quiet, private 2-acre property walking distance to town and convenient to both San Francisco and wine country.
The Musician's Cottage is nestled in our peaceful, historic family property along with our Victorian main house and another cottage. The grounds are landscaped beautifully with wild woodlands behind. The cottage has access to a lovely green front lawn and a private back deck. Hummingbirds and butterflies flit about, deer are frequent visitors, and we even get the occasional fox. As you enter the cottage you feel the freshness of a full, high-quality renovation. There is a new kitchen, a dining area flooded by light from double french doors, an incredible great room with double-height ceilings and a small loft for reading or stashing an extra guest. Enormous windows surround the great room on three sides and look onto old sculptural oaks; you'll feel like you are in a treehouse. The bedroom wing features a quiet master bedroom with woodland views, a large, luxurious new bathroom, and a twin bedroom. The renovation was done by an award-winning San Francisco designer, and all furnishings, fixtures and finishes are stylish and of the highest quality. And another plus: There is so much outdoor space to enjoy! A private back deck, a small front patio, and the large common lawn and gardens in front. Breathe deep, enjoy!
The property is entirely private, with no traffic noise and surrounded by nature. But here's the kicker: It's only 1 minute from a main thoroughfare of Marin County, Sir Francis Drake. This means every convenience is close by: grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The charming small town of Kentfield is walking distance away (about 7 min down a steep hill) with a fantastic deli/ gourmet store and two restaurants. Best of all, we are in central Marin, the best part of one of the safest and most beautiful counties in the land. Marin is world-renowned for its year-round fantastic mild weather and its hiking, biking, and kayaking. Sunny central Marin, in particular, is free of the chilly fog that plaques southern Marin (Mill Valley, Sausalito, Stinson Beach) and San Francisco. Central Marin, moreover, is located about halfway between San Francisco and wine country, making it convenient to both. It's no wonder that so many Marinites call this place Paradise!
This is the perfect place to bring your pooch along on vacation! The property has a central common lawn for the doggos to play, and is a gated compound at the dead end of a road so very little traffic (except us). Rosie the resident mini-bernadoodle is a wonderful hostess and always up for playtime!
Pet policy: 1 dog 50 lb and older than 1 year welcome in the cottage. No cats. Dog must be cleaned up after scrupulously. Dogs with behavior issues like chewing or excessive barking are not allowed. If dog’s paws are dirty wash and dry them at the “Dog Paw Washing Station” next to the lawn (towels in grey bin) before entering the cottage. If more than just their paws are dirty please give them a bath before re-entering. Use provided couch and bed covers. $50 nonrefundable pet fee.
NOTE: Your unit comes with two assigned parking spots, on the tight side. They are large enough for 2 standard-size cars (compact to midsized), one full sized car and one compact, or one large or oversized vehicle. No additional cars allowed on the property, even just for dropoff.

Summary: Great place for our stay, Jenny is very friendly and helpful
Kenneth S. May 12, 2025 03:41:29 AM
Summary: This was our third stay at this lovely cottage. It is well appointed and in a perfect location. Easy access to San Francisco and the East Bay. Jenny is very responsive and pleasant. We will be back!
Randall P. Sep 20, 2024 04:29:20 AM
Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the former music space in Kentfield, with its elegant windows looking out at the trees behind the house. Jenny is a great host and we felt right at home. Perfect location in Marin, just minutes from San Anselmo as well as the Larkspur Ferry and 101. 30 minutes to San Francisco, and 30 minutes to the beach at Point Reyes. What could be better!!
Steve M. Aug 25, 2024 06:11:16 PM
Summary: We are a family of four, now with older teenagers. We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals over the last 16 years. This was the closest to perfection that we have yet come across: a beautiful house, nicely furnished and well equipped, in a really peaceful setting close to the lovely town of San Anselmo and Muir Woods and within easy reach of San Francisco and Wine Country. Great WiFi, great a/c, easy check-in and access, easy parking, good washer and drier and nicely dark main bedroom for a good night’s sleep. The only very tiny point to note is that the small skylight in the second bedroom might mean that a light sleeper in that room wakes with the sunrise (unless you bring blackout paper), but we didn’t find that to be a real problem (not least because it didn't get light until nearly 7am in August) and I would not want that to put anyone off. I would highly recommend.

Summary: Place was so beautiful and peaceful. I believe I left a pair of jeans. Can you lease call me? 415-341-3674
Jane R. Jun 18, 2024 01:29:07 AM
Summary: The house was even more beautiful in person, great attention to detail. The location was perfect, close to family, coast, and San Francisco. We hope to come back again soon.
Nancy G. May 29, 2024 08:43:11 AM
Summary: We will be going back asap! We loved this property and our stay- too many details for a short overview. We travel heavy so we appreciated how spacious. We rent properties and this is in our top 3! All the furnishings were very comfortable and nice. Plus the bathroom was nicely extra large. The owners are thoughtful in details including a dog clean up station on their very lovely central yard with lots of flowers and great trees with shade. And a blanket to cover the couch so the dog can go there. Bonus: Rosie the resident pup was scrumptiously cute and fun! We loved how central the property is to all of Marin’s great sights and activities so it was quick and easy to go to/ from, including Napa, SF, Tomales Bay, etc. So close yet it feels secluded as the compound is situated at the end of the street and thus quiet. just lovely! Thank you Jenny and Sandy!
Kenneth S. May 6, 2024 07:49:23 AM
Summary: This is our second time staying in this lovely cottage and we look forward to future returns. Host is very responsive and quite gracious and location is first rate. Cottage is light and welcoming and had everything we needed.
Erin G. Jan 8, 2024 05:57:28 AM
Summary: We had a very nice stay at this Kentfield rental. We did run into an issue with a broken refrigerator and the Wi-Fi not working upon arrival and for the first 24 hours. It was stressful and had to spend a lot of time working with the owners to resolve the issues, in the middle of the holidays. They gave us a small credit although not enough to make us feel valued. Aside from that, the location is beautiful and about 8 to 10 minutes from the 101. This is a small house right next to the owners home and there are two other rentals on the property. The beds were very comfortable, beautiful views out the large windows in the back, and the kitchen had everything you need. Great double sinks in the bathroom as well. It is very peaceful however, there was a loud barking dog every night at around 9 to 10 PM, which was not expected. We would stay here again as overall it was a great rental. 4 stars is because of the issues we encountered.
Desiree P. Dec 11, 2023 01:00:38 PM
Summary: Beautiful cottage and setting. Central to many restaurants, shopping and walking paths. Well stocked kitchen perfect for a small group. Felt like we were sleeping in the trees. Loved it!
