Charming Mill Valley Craftsman!

This charming home flooded w/ natural light sits on a large terraced yard complete with outdoor barbecue and dining. Within minutes of the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, Sausalito and Muir Beach, this well equipped home is walking distance to grocery shopping and cute local restaurants. Start your morning in the nook or enjoy a cup of coffee on the large covered entry deck with views of Mt. Tam. Dinner can be prepared in the kitchen to eat in the dining room or al fresco under the stars.
Enjoy the 60" tv and board games in the cozy living room. The dining room or outside table is the perfect place to enjoy dinner. The front bedroom has an extremely comfy king-size bed with well-appointed linens and views of Mt. Tam. The back bedroom is private and has two single beds.
You may have a visitor in the form of local wild deer. Please do not feed them. They enjoy roaming through the neighborhood. Feel free to BBQ or enjoy the wood burning fire pit.

This was the ideal spot for a family vacation in the Bay Area. Easy access to the city (the Golden Gate Bridge is SO FUN to drive over at night) and to all the natural beauty in Marin, and a peaceful place to end the day. Jim and Heidi are perfect hosts. Everything in the listing was accurate, and the house was just a delight. We plan to make this part of the country a regular vacation destination, and now we don't need to worry about where we'll stay.

Very charming house on a little hill above the high school. House had a great coffee maker and comfy beds and cute living room. Lots of outdoor spaces to hang outside. The Good Earth grocery store - so so good - very close. Easy to get to downtown Mill Valley, Muir Woods and San Francisco. Loved!

The hosts communicated quickly and with pertinent information. The house was clean; the photos represented the property accurately. It was the perfect location to visit that area. A parking space is reserved in the front of the house, and the high school students respected that. We highly recommend this property!
