Nestled in the Marin Hills above Mill Valley, this cozy 800 sq ft cottage offers a true forest retreat on a 1.5-acre park-like lot, once curated by a botanist with rare plantings that create layers of height, color, and fragrance amid the redwoods.

Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to get away from it all, but in a really nice place." (Abraham, September 2025) "One of the loveliest stays we’ve had.

The cottage shines for those seeking serenity and immersion: "Beyond expectations! My stay at idyllic Mill Valley was perfect. Close to hiking and the city with lots of privacy and quiet for the respite I really needed." (Tessa, September 2025) This isn’t a sprawling modern escape—it’s a quaint, character-filled haven for 2-4 (queen bed in the main-floor master, full bed in the loft via ladder—unsuitable for children under 9). Guests rave about the natural light through big windows and doors on all sides, the spotless condition, and the cozy bedding: "The place is very peaceful and secluded in the woods. We loved the natural light and big windows as we felt immersed in nature. It’s comfortable, clean." (Annette and Tom, September 2025) Arrival by Car. From Mill Valley, ascend the famed Panoramic Highway—a scenic 3-mile drive along Mt. Tam with sweeping ocean views high above the coastal fog. Turn onto our quiet street, where an easy, lit road leads through an enchanted canopy of trees to the cottage. It’s paved and winding, but the reward is immediate peace: "Tucked away in the Marin hills... If I could give this place 6 stars I would. It was a slice of heaven."
