Debra went above and beyond to make me feel like I was at home. Her beautiful heart was reflected to me from her constant kindness and attention to detail in making her space gorgeous in ever sense of the word. Highly recommend staying and taking advantage of the peace and quiet. Along with all the mountain hiking trails. Will always be staying here in the future.

I was looking for a place to stay outside of the city and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! The property and surrounding area is beautiful and Debra was more than welcoming! Would stay again anytime :)

Debra was lovely. The place was AMAZING, and it was perfect for our needs. We stayed a week while visiting our son who works in Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Read the description of this property carefully. The room we stayed in had its own entrance, but, you do not have the entire property to yourself. The room is attached to the host's house, and there it a small cottage on-site as well. That said, we always felt that we had all the privacy we needed, both inside and out.
There was no kitchen in the room, but there is a tea kettle and refrigerator. She offered a microwave if we needed one, and Debra kept us supplied with clean dishes and filtered water each day.
The drive up to the house is winding, steep and narrow, but the seclusion and views are worth it! It is walkable to downtown, but you need to be in good shape to make it back up!
We loved staying here, and look forward to coming back when we are in the area again.

Debra, the host, was very welcoming and gave us many ideas of things to do. She wrote out hikes for us to take and was very accommodating. The house is close to mt.tam and Muir woods and not too far from Napa. We had a great time and would come back again

Hosts Debra and William were very accommodating. The bed is very comfortable. The scenery around this studio is lovely. But the road up the hill is a very narrow windy one-lane road—I found it frightening to drive on especially when another car or truck was coming from the other direction. Don’t plan to drive up for the first time in the dark! Once you get used to the road it’s not so bad.

Mountain Air
What a perfect getaway for a couple. The location was lovely in every way. Quiet, comfortable, serene, deer, birds, black squirrels, and that was all outside. The room itself had a very comfortable king size bed, desk, several chairs to relax in. The mountain air drifted the windows at night for the most restful sleep. The hosts were very accommodating and available. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you.

Enjoyed the entire stay, as Debra and Willy were helpful , but not intrusive. Particualrly appreceiated provision of French press coffee each morning, toaster for my gluten free muffins and small fridge for salad fixings, wine and bkfst essentials (not easy to get up and out in the morning). Plenty to do within striking distance of Mill Valley to keep us busy all week. Check out new restaurant on water in Tiburon, Capris.-The Martins

This stay was everything that we envisioned and more. The property grounds were airy, well maintained and picturesque. Our unit was attached to the main house with a full bathroom. A mini-fridge was also available. While we did not have access to a kitchen, Debra gladly reheated our food and offered clean plates/glasses when needed.
Speaking of Debra, she was an absolutely phenomenal host. She offered hiking trail/beach suggestions, spoke to us about the history of the town, and was available for any of our inquiries. I normally prefer hosts that are out of sight, out of mind. However, she added a personal touch that made this property feel like home.

Incredible beauty and hospitatality!
Located on a high ridge overlooking Mill Valley, our host Debra provided a secluded, peaceful, and romantic setting for my wife and I to get away. As a seasoned trail guide, Debra was also able to give us recommendations for some great trails to take into Muir Woods and surrounding areas. So close to San Francisco, but a world away. Debra recommended a great Mexican place to eat, and a fish place in nearby Sausalito where we watched local fishermen bring in their catch. Can't wait to come back to this beautiful place!

There is NO PRIVACY in either of the 2 units listed here. The nice table shown in their pictures is off limits.
We were told that we only had access to a portion of a shared lawn. When we refused to stay in place with the very public outdoor porch area, they KEPT OUR CLEANING DEPOSIT and we didn't stay there.
It is bad enough to keep 2 days lodging (VRBO refunded their fee to us) but they crossed-the-line my keeping a cleaning deposit that was never used.
Just on principle, please don't stay here.

Always amazing
Third time was charming!! My second stay here actually inspired me to move from the density of suburbia to a more rural setting. Don't bre surprised if your time here with Debra and Willie, the fresh air. abundance of wildlife, hammock, cozy blankets, picturesque setting and perfect outdoor furniture for night sky watching inspire the same iin you! Love, love, love.

Fantastic experience! Beautiful location and a great host! Couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Thank you, Debra!

Cute, but a few drawbacks...
Be aware that the drive up to the property is steep, twisty and one lane. Additionally, there appears to be central heat in the room but, the property owner asked me to use a portable heater to heat the space. The owners are helpful and kind and go out of their way to see if there is anything you might need...

Nice clean place, great location!
We had a great time at Debra’s place this New Year! We enjoyed talking with Debra, who is very knowledgable about the local history, culture, and hiking trails / places of interest.
We stayed for only a short time (New Year’s Eve), so we didn’t end up hitting the trails - we chose the beach instead. We will have to come back and stay longer so we can do both.
We had a very nice time and I recommend Debra’s property, thank you!

Beautiful home and area
Great trip. Debra was very helpful with our stay and has great knowledge of the entire area. She was very helpful and accommodating. She recommended great things to do that we were totally unaware of. We actually spent our entire stay in the area and didn't go to San Francisco. The whole area was just too nice to leave. My only recommendation of improvement would be a small fridge in the room. We had some perishable food but we just went and got ice and stored it in a cooler. Debra was nice and offered a cooler but we already had one.

Exceeds expectation!
I would 100% recommend staying at this property. The place was exactly as listed on the website and Debra was am excellent host. She provided us with great recommendations for hiking and was very flexible when I was not able to make it for one of the days I had reserved the room for.
I will definitely go back again soon.
