About the host

Hosted by Melodie

Host profile image
Our family moved to San Rafael for the amazing Marin lifestyle - hiking, gorgeous views, wonderful restaurants, and a progressive "live well" approach to life :) Our family home is located adjacent to your Casita in the Trees. We love sharing our home with visitors!

Why they chose this property

We love our neighborhood because of its views! The roads are relatively wide for Marin County which makes it easy to get in and out. Highway 101 is just 5 minutes away. The lovely towns of San Rafael, San Anselmo, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Larkspur, and Ross are reachable within 10-25 mins. Sausalito, Tiburon, Mill Valley, and Novato are 20 mins drive. The Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco are 15-20 minutes away. Napa and Sonoma are 45 mins away.

What makes this property unique

We are at the end of the road and the Casita in the Trees looks out on open space. It's a very private space - many guests leave the windows open all the time to soak in the views! Our property is gated so your car and your family will be behind a private gate.
