Lovely spot

My husband and I enjoyed several days in this lovely carriage house. We had a late night check in, and were pleased to have a dedicated parking spot and easy, private access to the cottage. The jasmine covering the porch was a special sight. Linen couches and overstuffed pillows were delightful and contributed to our goal of relaxation. The bed was very comfortable and we could see the water from the bedroom window. David checked on us frequently and gave recommendations for meals. We had wonderful meals at The Barrel Room, Sushi Ran, enjoyed coffee and lunch at Equator Cafe, and grabbed groceries as needed from the market down the street. (The croissant with almond cream was insane). After charging our electric car rental at the Mill Valley Safeway, we had a quick drive to places like The Marine Mammal Rescue Center, Sonoma, the City, Point Reyes, and more. Sausalito is a gem, and we loved being so close to stunning views, delicious meals, and a beautiful nest for when we were ready to rest. Thank you Yasmeen and David!

Perfect little getaway

We had everything we needed and it was a beautiful little place to stay. I particularly enjoyed the view out the windows and how easy it was to get around to things. Perfect location to walk around Sausalito. We had a car and drove to Big Sur, Point Reyes and of course, San Francisco. It was peaceful coming home after a long day of adventures. Thanks for sharing you cottage with us.

Casual Cottage Charm

I would absolutely stay again in this charming cottage. The hosts are equally charming and the location is ideal for exploring Marin and quick access to work and playtime in the city. The cottage (and garden) is comfortable, casual, welcoming and quiet. I highly recommend this experience.

Sausalito cottage

The location could not have been more perfect for biking and hiking adventures, and for walkability to old town, shops, and restaurants. We loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Yasmine McGrane

I am the founder of the lifestyle brand Maison reve (means dream home in french). My mother is suisse french and i grew up in Montreal. As a child, we were raised to enjoy simple living and now my passion is to inspire others to slow the pace of our busy lives down so we fully enjoy the moment of everyday life. My business has been featured in several national magazines showcasing our signature urban farmhouse design style that you will experience at the carriage house. I live with my Australian born husband (from Sydney) and our two children in our 1893 Victorian home that we fully restored a few years ago.

Why they chose this property

Our main home and this seperate detached 1910 historic carriage house in the back garden of property are completely magical. I knew they were special the minute I first walked inside. They are one of the oldest houses in the whole Bay area, main house was built in 1893 by a shipyard captain with the carriage house in 1910. We spent 2 years fully restoring both places and the gardens. We feel very blessed to live in such a wonderful place and raise our young children here. It's not just the spectacular view and all the places to explore, it's the birds that visit the garden each morning, the lovely trees and just the energy of this place is serene. When my husband and I stand on our front porch at night and watch the moon and stars above catching the shimmering light on the Bay it still takes our breath away every time.

What makes this property unique

The views inspire you to feel grateful for everything in life. The location inspires you to walk to the downtown, take a ferry and explore San Francisco, Napa or Sonoma wine country, the redwood trees in Muir Woods, the lovely California beaches or skiing in Lake Tahoe. The property is a magical retreat in the heart of everything you want to experience. We feel enormously grateful to be able to share this with others from all around the world.
