New in 2023 - Luxury Cottage Near Downtown Mill Valley with Private Courtyard

Outstanding property
This is the best VRBO property I’ve stayed in. It is exactly as described in the listing. It is perfect for a long stay in Mill Valley or as home base when visiting San Francisco area. patio shaded by a beautiful heritage oak. The open plan cottage creates multiple seating areas and two outdoor spaces in the private front deck and patio. It was designed and furnished with care and attention to detail, as if the cottage had been prepared by a friend who tried to anticipate every need. The kitchen was as well equipped with small appliances and kitchen gadgets, as my own kitchen. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with toiletries and more than enough towels. Everything needed for an enjoyable and comfortable month long stay is provided. The hosts were were responsive and available to provided information about local attractions. I had my four granddaughters who live in Mill Valley spend the night with me one at a time and they were delighted to spend the night at Grandma’s magical cottage. This brand new luxury cottage was a pleasure from my first contact with the hosts until the final day. I recommend this property without reservation and plan to return on my next trip to Mill Valley.

Luxurious and Family Friendly Cottage
This place is wonderful! We stayed here for six weeks while we were renovating our home in Mill Valley. The cottage is newly built and and has all the modern conveniences required for an extended stay. It is thoughtfully decorated but not overly precious, so we were able to enjoy living in beautiful space without panicking that our two and four year old would wreck something. While the footprint is small, the layout is such that we had a smooth flow between spaces, and never felt cramped. The kitchen is especially spacious and has all the cooking, dining, and even storage items you’ll need to use the space as you would your own home. The bathroom has great storage as well, between a large vanity and medicine cabinet mirror, so everything can stay tidy. We found the linens to be soft and the beds comfortable. There is a lovely front porch and garden, which is shaded by the a wonderful giant oak tree. The neighborhood is very safe, and just a couple blocks from Boyle Park (easily one of the town’s favorite parks as it has play areas for multiple ages, bathrooms, and some shade) the home is also easy walking distance to Marais bakery, or the restaurants and coffee shops at the Lumberyard.
We were very grateful to have stayed here, it made the renovation so much more manageable having such a magical little cottage to stay in. Thanks again to the gracious hosts, who were excellent in their communication and extremely kind!
