About this cottage rental

This cottage is one-of-a-kind. It is charming, quiet, and very spacious at 800 SF. It is nestled in a 2-acre gated property filled with gardens, woodlands and redwood groves - a magical oasis! It is in a prime location, central to everything - the perfect base for exploring the Bay Area. San Francisco is 30 min to the south, wine country is 45 min to the north, and all of beautiful Marin surrounds you. It is easy walking distance to brunch, dinner or deli in sweet downtown Kentfield.

The cottage is simple and serene. It is partly renovated, with updated floors, carpeting and quality furniture. The living room has been recently redone, and the dining area seats 4. The large flatscreen TV comes with Roku. Off the living room is a large sunny deck facing woodlands - very private and lovely. You'll see deer on the lawn and hummingbirds off the deck almost every day. A new heating and AC system ensure your year-round comfort. Wi-Fi speed is excellent, 500 Mbps, sufficient for high-quality streaming on many devices at once.

The kitchen and bathroom are older and could use renovating, but are functional and clean. The kitchen is equipped with all the basics. The bathroom has a small shower (no bath), and there is a laundry room with full-size washer/dryer. Overall the place is comfortable and homey, with some aspects that are updated and others that are not, and in an incredible location.

The bedroom boasts a beautiful queen-sized solid acacia bed with premium Sealy Posturepedic mattress. It has large windows and lovely light, with blinds. There is a very comfortable American Leather queen sleeper sofa in the living room, the fold-out kind with no bars or springs. Linens and pillows are good quality throughout. We take sleep quality seriously here!

The owners live on the property, in the main house, and are usually available to help with anything you need.

PET POLICY
We love the doggos and they are very welcome at this pet-friendly property! Here are the rules:

- Nonrefundable pet fee of $50/pet.
- 1 dog weighing 50 lb or less and no younger than 1 year allowed
- Dog may not be left alone in the cottage if it has any behavior issues like chewing, excessive barking, etc.

- Dog must be cleaned up after scrupulously,

ROSIE: The property comes with an adorable resident mini-bernadoodle named Rosie. We allow her to occasionally roam our fenced property and play on the lawn. She is entirely friendly and loves people and other dogs! She can be a little shy at first, so best to let her approach you. She fancies herself a guard dog so she may bark a little at new people, but don't worry, this is just to alert us. She is very sweet so feel free to say hello if you'd like!

Stay was great. Few areas need updating. Bathrooms needs some replacements. Heater grate was rusty. Could use a shower upgrade. Nice area.

Cute spot. Tranquil as can be! The private deck with a wraparound couch overlooking the forest will suck you in. Grab a sandwich from the incredible market down the street. Explore Mt Tam nearby. I’d stay here again in a flash. Thanks for the sweet stay.

We enjoyed our stay for three weeks. The only thing that was tricky was having to back up from the parking space at a strange angle to wait for the automatic gate to open. Other than that it was clean, lovely and private. A very nice hideaway and very handy to College of Marin.

This is a great spot. The cottage itself feels private and the balcony is large and looks upon the woods. You’ll see stars at night. The fenced yard we shared with a few others was great for our dog who got along well with Rosie the resident dog. The bed was great for getting rest and we did make quite a bit of use of the kitchen. The only thing to be aware of is some of the fittings especially in the kitchen are quite old and in need of renovation.

We were two grandparents here from Mlps to attend a high school graduation. Lovely grounds, spacious living space, shower very tight, very good bed and quiet night sleep. We were very satisfied and would stay there again.

Charming cabin in a peaceful environment, yet so close to Kentfield! Great deck looks out over the woods (and the deer if you are lucky to see them). Heat pump provided great heating and cooling on demand. Comfortable bed. Kitchen needed a few more items (scissors, large bowls, etc.). May well stay here again. Lovely.
