About this property

My house is located on a hillside close to the village of Mill Valley. There is a gorgeous master bedroom suite, with jacuzzi bath, a second bedroom with a queen bed and a daybed the living room. The house has a chef’s kitchen, elegant dining area, and a living room with cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling windows .
The deck has lovely views of the valley. It is a perfect place to have your morning coffee.
It is an easy 8 minute walk to the village where you will find interesting shops, and lots of eclectic restaurants. Hiking trails are nearby and it is possible to walk from the house to the trails on Mount Tam.
It is 30 minutes drive into downtown San Francisco, Berkeley, and Stinson Beach. Muir Woods is ten minutes away unless you decide to hike in! The wine country is a 45 minute drive.
This is my house and I live here when not renting to guests.
If you are looking for a hotel experience, this is not it. I have a downstairs studio on the property with a separate entrance where I sometimes stay. I love to get to know my guests but respect their privacy.
There are many stairs up to the house so if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be a good place for you.
I share my house with my standard poodle,Gigi. She loves to get to know my guests and poodles are hypoallergenic!
Children are welcome.
I am a professional chef and the kitchen is equipped with state of the art appliances, and lots of cooking essentials. .The kitchen is well stocked and guests are welcome to cook and use whatever foods are in the cupboard. I always provide my guests with food and drinks for breakfast. I even cater a dinner for my guests once in a while.

Beautiful spot in Mill Valley

The host was super gracious and accommodating. She offered helpful recommendations and made us feel very welcome. The property was perfectly located - so close to so much, just a perfect walk from downtown Mill Valley for dinner, and a short drive to San Francisco, and an even shorter drive to Muir Woods. And the area was beautiful - sunrises with coffee were spectacular!

About the host

Your host

I am a professional chef and have live in Mill Valley for over 40 years. It is a fabulous place to live or visit. I have had a catering business for over 30 years and am happy to cater dinners or parties for my guests.

I have traveled all over the world and the house is filled
with my folk art collections and paintingsI I have collected. I recently returned from a trek in Bhutan and safari in South Africa.
The house is very special to me . I raised my children here and often have grandchildren visiting.

Why they chose this property

Any visitor will be intrigued with Mill Valley. It is a wonderfully vibrant town and the visitor will find so much to do. Or just relax in my living room overlooking the valley.
Location, location, location. You will have it here. I have my own mini Muir Woods with a small grove of Redwood trees

What makes this property unique

I have a small studio downstairs which I sometimes rent out. It has space for one adult or two children.
The house is up a steep driveway and there are lots of steps . So the house is not appropriate for people who have trouble climbing
Stairs
