About this house rental

Looking to get close to nature? Treat yourself! This hilly refuge is a great option for folks wanting to combine working remotely with rest and relaxation. Hiking trails and bike routes originate in our neighborhood. Deer roam freely on the property, sometimes in small herds, and it's a great space for bird watching. The apartment sits on a sunny and rustic one-acre 14 miles North of San Francisco. Off-street enclosed parking. Pets welcome.

This funky and eclectic 600-square-foot apartment is attached to the main house where the hosts live. It has a private entrance as well as a fenced yard and is totally self-contained inside the unit. We're glad to offer this option for those who like to read, work, or simply hang out outside. And of course, it's ideal for those with dogs. The apartment features a sitting room/dining area and kitchenette along with a separate bedroom and bath suite
Wireless access to higher-speed wifi and cable TV. HBO and Showtime are the premium channels (you can watch TV in bed). The kitchenette is small and fully stocked. Suitable for light cooking (heating up take out--morning coffee and tea). There is an induction burner, sink, dorm-style fridge/freezer combo, and microwave/convection oven that works very well for simple cooking and heating up. 1-serving Keurig coffeemaker with both pod and filter function, 2 French press coffeemakers, plug-in kettle, and toaster included. All china, pots, and utensils included as well as kitchen towels and table linens provided.

Full-sized bedroom with a king-sized bed. The dresser has ample space and another set of bed linens provided. The bathroom has a large shower, twin sink vanity, and a large walk-in closet with roomy storage space. Towels are provided.

In addition, we ask you to take this into mind before booking:

*If you are NOT okay with the hosts living on the property during your stay, please book another property on this site.

*Please review the size of the kitchenette to ensure it will meet your needs, especially for longer stays.

*If you have any allergies to pet dander (dogs or cats) you may want to book another reservation. We accept pets and regardless of how deep we clean, sometimes remnants hang in there.

*Rooms are a bit dark due to where the apartment is situated on the property.

*This is an older home built in the 1950s. Some surfaces may be worn and old but they are clean.

* This is not a detached cottage or separate structure; there are shared walls so expect to hear some of the common noises of everyday life like toilets flushing, water running, footfalls, etc.


PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK: Confirming a reservation or Instant Booking here means you have thoroughly read and understood the listing's description and house rules.

* If you are uneasy with hosts living onsite, please book another VRBO property.

*Note that this particular area in the County is zoned for 28-day rentals only.

*Stay in our place only if you book on this site with your own account. No 3rd party bookings

We enjoyed relaxing in the back yard. The host made us feel very welcome with quick assistance and left a lot of snacks and breakfast items for us to enjoy.

We loved staying at the Sleepy Hollow home. It was spacious enough for us to spread out but cozy enough for us to feel right at home. When my husband and I had Zoom meetings at the same time, we were able to be in separate rooms and undisturbed by the other. Amy and Edgar were friendly, communicative, available, and happy to help. I loved the attention to detail and the extra touches that just made our stay more enjoyable. From the huge king-size bed to the number of seating places and tables to the selection of breakfasts and coffees available to the lovely welcome basket of goodies upon our arrival. We would highly recommend this place to other couples.

Cozy unit with a nice sized bedroom and bathroom, and a walk in closet. The private fenced in area is really cool. Be sure to read the host's notes regarding suitability for your stay.

This unit is in a beautiful neighborhood. It’s quiet and just what we were looking for. The breakfast goodies and snack basket were an excellent plus. We were pleasantly surprised to see a coyote on the hill the first morning and deer in the driveway later.

Great location. Spacious accommodation. Because of where it is situated in the house, the rooms are rather dark. Fridge and toaster but no cooking surface. Friendly, helpful hosts.

We felt very lucky to find a place to stay within walking distance of our sons home in San Anselmo. The hosts were very easy to communicate and work with. The area that we stayed was clean, friendly quaint, and perfect for our three day stay. The host left breakfast goodies, snacks and fresh flowers on the tables. It was a wonderful place to rest at night, and we will certainly be back the next time we visit our son.

It turns out I know Amy and Edgar from 24 years ago. It was wonderful to bring each other up to date. Life if full of surprises. This was one of the very nice ones.
