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. Surrounded by overgrown gardens and towering canopies, it feels immersed in nature—perfect for quiet reflection, reading by the wood-burning fireplace, or simply unwinding with high-speed WiFi and modern comforts like a full kitchen and central heating.Past guests capture it best: "A real treasure tucked way in the Marin hills... super accommodating host. 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. Surrounded by redwoods, clean air and hiking trails. This is a temple for retreat and healing." (Jess & Juan, July 2025) "Wonderfully situated cottage in the hills above Mill Valley. Outdoor enthusiast paradise. Close to countless trails... Highly recommend." (Alan, October 2025) "Great for a serious woodsy getaway... Many trails are accessible by foot from the cottage. The woodburning fireplace is excellent." (Mel, recent) "Our stay was great. The cottage was clean, the location perfect and private... An excellent location to spend our honeymoon!" (Steven, October 2025) Hiking starts right at your door—walk to the Canopy Trail in Muir Woods (just minutes away), or drive a short distance to Mt. Tam’s fire roads, Muir Beach, or Stinson Beach (10 miles). Mill Valley’s town square, with its shops, arts, and restaurants, is a quick 10-minute descent. 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." (Bex, June 2025) Guest Access Bedrooms: 2 (1 master with queen; 1 loft with full—ladder access only; no door) Bathrooms: 1 full Beds: 2 (couch not for sleeping) Amenities: Full kitchen (fridge, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, dishes/utensils, pantry basics); dining for 4 (2 extra chairs in closet); TV with streaming/cable in living room; games/books; central heating; washer/dryer (in external basement room—exit main door and walk outside); high-speed WiFi throughout; gas-start wood-burning fireplace. No AC needed—cool mornings/evenings year-round, with warm afternoons. We’re in a "banana belt," so expect sunny skies even when fog rolls over the ridges. Outdoor: Separate sitting pad with chaise and umbrella overlooking the bay (partial views through maturing redwoods); driveway parking for 2-3 cars. Safety: Smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, first aid kit, fire extinguisher. Family-Friendly: Great for kids 9+, but not ideal under 9 due to loft ladder. No highchair. Other Things to Note A 20-minute drive to Stinson Beach or 5 miles to Muir Beach for coastal vibes. Check-in after 4pm; we’ll send details the day before. Pets? No. Events? No. Up to 4 guests max. Smoke-free indoors. Questions? We’re responsive and here to help make your stay restorative. As one guest put it: "We really loved our stay... Overall, great stay and would be happy to come back."
