Summary: Absolutely Perfect Stay!What an incredible gem in Mill Valley! My husband and I planned a delayed honeymoon and this was our first stop. What an awesome way to begin our journey! Marianne’s beautifully designed Craftsman guest house exceeded all expectations. The space is not only impeccably maintained and thoughtfully decorated, but also incredibly comfortable — it truly felt like a peaceful, intimate retreat.The views are absolutely spectacular — waking up to the stunning landscape and soaking in the serenity of the gorgeous gardens was a dream. And Buster, Marianne’s sweet and gentle dog, made the stay even more delightful. He was such a friendly little presence, always ready for a tail wag or two.Marianne was a wonderful and welcoming host — warm, helpful, and respectful of privacy. We honestly didn’t want to leave and we are already planning our next stay. Highly, highly recommended!

Summary: The house had everything that one would want and the owner was very helpful and available. The location, architecture and character of the house reflected the area well. Close to Mt. Tam & Muir Woods. Beautiful views.

Summary: We completely enjoyed our stay at the cottage on Mt. Tamalpais. The view was magnificent, the decor was inspirational, and the hostess/owner was exceptional providing a comfortable stay, space and privacy. We were fortunate to find this gem.

Summary: A beautiful hidden gem among the redwoods. Marianne was the perfect host. She was kind and helpful, and made us feel welcome from the first moment we met. This was our first time visiting the Mill Valley area, and this tree house cottage felt like a home away from home. It has everything you need, and more, for a relaxing getaway and an area to explore. We can’t wait to return to this lovely place.

Arietta S. Mar 19, 2025 07:58:56 AM

Summary: This is a very very special place, and certainly my favorite VRBO ever. It is a spacious, two-story cottage nestled in the woods along a windy road leading to the top of Mt. Tamalpais. The views - as well as the flora and birds - are breathtaking from the upper and lower floors, and both have spacious decks. The rooms and furnishings are incredibly comfortable and welcoming, and my husband and I felt instantly at home. There were fresh flowers everywhere and the hosts were very generous and responsive. Town - which is wonderful too - is 7 minutes down the hill. We simply cannot recommend it highly enough -- we did NOT want to leave at all! And of course we're already planning our return.

Bob G. Feb 16, 2025 10:09:45 AM

Summary: Slightly funky, comfortable space. A real mountain setting with big beautiful views, yet charming Mill Valley is at the bottom of the hill. We needed privacy and hosts obliged 100%.

Summary: My wife and I arrived on a Wednesday night. Marianne gave a wonderful walk through with plenty of helpful information and we stayed through Sunday morning. And everything was great! She was very responsive with texts and proactive in reaching out to make sure everything was just right. Mill valley is awesome. I can't wait to go back. Spending time in the redwoods is extraordinary and Marianne's place is in an ideal location. I wish that it hadn't rained quite so much because I really wanted to hike to the top of My Tam but I didn't have enough time on Thursday night to get all the way there before sundown. The pictures I did get of San Francisco from the trail are posted on Google Maps so have a look... It's gorgeous. I would totally come back here and am very grateful for Marianne making this home available. I was honored to be there.
