About this house rental
Homebase... the perfect place to unwind during your explorations. Relax on your private deck w/ morning coffee or enjoy the complimentary chocolate & wine.
IDEAL CENTRAL LOCATION: We're midway between Mill Valley downtown (1/2 mile walk); trails to Mt. Tam (3/4 mile), Cascade Falls (1.4 miles); Muir Woods (4 miles); Golden Gate Bridge/San Francisco (8 miles); Muir Beach (6.6 miles) & Napa wine country (probably 100 wineries within an hour of us).
THE SPACE:
This is an attached in-law unit on the end of a large house. You have your own private entrance & have two private parking spaces. Once you enter the unit, the primary bedroom w/ a daybed that makes into a king bed is located to your right. Upstairs, you will find a large studio w/ a queen bed, a small but complete kitchen (apt sized frig, countertop oven, single burner hotplate, blender, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, etc.), living area w/65” HDTV, a queen sleeper sofa, and a full bathroom. Outside there is a small private deck with a BBQ and a firepit.
Please note that you have to go into the studio in order to get to the bathroom. So the studio does not have complete privacy from the primary bedroom if the people in the primary bedroom need to use the bathroom. The bathroom does have a tub/shower.
We provide K-cups and complimentary chocolate and a bottle of wine (or sparkling cider if you prefer).
PEACEFUL SECLUSION IN NATURE: Nestled on a little over an acre so there are no close neighbors. There are dozens of redwoods & a seasonal creek on the property. Deer come by daily. No worries about parking as we have our own off-street parking.
TESLA CHARGER: Tesla charger available upon request (you must let us know before arrival)..
WHOLE HOUSE GENERATOR: We are not affected by power outages.
TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER: Unlimited hot water for even the largest families.
HIGH SPEED 1 Gig FIBER WIFI. Both TVs are set up to stream Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple & HBO.
ONSITE ASSISTANCE: Owners are on site in the main house. We are here to assist you & interact w/ you if you desire. Conversely, we respect your privacy & are happy to leave you alone if you desire.

Hosts and cleaning staff are fully vaccinated & boosted.
In order to accommodate our guests that have allergies, this is a no smoking & no pets unit.

The rental, the space, the setting and the hosts were all and more that we could have hoped for. It was pretty amazing to wake up and look out the windows straight onto the redwoods, to sit out on the back deck and listen to and watch the many birds while gazing skyward at the treetops, and to take an early morning walk and see deer grazing and a very young coyote also on its morning walk.
The space was well equipped and met all our needs for food prep. Mike was very helpful and very responsive. The written information he and Kate provided was descriptive and very helpful: Restaurants, (including their personal reviews and recommendations), nearby hiking trails, beautiful destinations to drive and hike to and many destinations for arts and entertainment. It was a quiet, welcoming, and beautiful setting… Grateful to have found it, for our time there, and for such great hosts.

MV Homebase is an incredible property nestled in the towering trees of Marin County, yet close to town, hiking, and so much more! The studio is covered in windows with views for days, the kitchen has everything you need, and the rest of the home truly provided the perfect getaway for peace, reflection, adventure, and relaxation. Mike and Kate are AMAZING hosts!!!

Our family of 5 (kids 17, 15, and 11) had the best stay in this fabulous rental. It may be the best-equipped vrbo we’ve stayed in and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and plenty of space to spread out. We enjoyed walking the stairs and pathways to downtown Mill Valley, exploring local trails, and the short distance to Sausalito, Muir Woods, and San Francisco. Mike was a great host with lots of helpful suggestions for the area and great communication. If we ever find ourselves in the area again (and we hope we do) we would love to stay again.

We took our kids to San Francisco for 4 days (a very busy few days!) and then moved onto Mill Valley where we were able to decompress and unwind in the beautiful tranquility of this property. You feel as though you've gone to a different state! We walked into the condo and were greeted with wine, sparkling cider for the kids, and chocolate! So kind! The unit is gorgeous and has a great location. We were able to visit Point Reyes & Sausalito easily. Great restaurants, walkable (although steep), and Mike was amazing! Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Very Quaint condo and area!
We stayed at Mike’s condo for two nights during a trip to San Francisco. It was lovely! There were large windows for the natural light to filter in and lovely views of the forest, trees, and deer. Mill Valley was such a quaint area with lots of shops and things to do. We highly recommend staying here!

Great stay in Mill Valley. Mike was a thoughtful host and he put a lot of thoughtful touches to make the guest experience as pleasant as possible. Beautiful wooded area, but lots of narrow and windy roads to access the property. The suite itself was clean and was a good size for our little family of 3 to stay for a few days.
