Mid-Century Mountain Home with Breathtaking Views

A nature lover's dream....
The large windows of this rustic home look out on the San Francisco Bay and the trails of Mount Tam are literally right out your door. It's hard to believe that San Francisco is a mere 14 miles away when you wake up to deer in the garden and the smell of pine.

There's a large patio surrounding the property from which to enjoy the ever-changing vistas of San Francisco and Mt. Tam . And despite the mountain setting, it's only a mile drive down to the quaint Mill Valley town square.

This cozy artist's retreat is located at the head of a hiking trail which will take you as far as Stinson Beach (if you've got the energy) or as close as the little stream about half mile down the fire trail.

A large fireplace, terrazzo floors, eclectic antiques and interesting old books... It is very much a retreat whether you want to stay put & relax, sail or mountain bike, experience small town life in Mill valley or explore the many sights in San Francisco.

Perfect stay!

The property had everything and more. Great history (it was fun reading about the family lore); great view (we watched the ever changing weather over the bay and San Francisco skyline, with fog, sun and clouds (really cool to see the tops of the skyscrapers above the fog); and great feel (the house has a great energy). It was fun to walk out out of the house and take the hike up the mountain and then down to the creek with the amazing redwoods. Would definitely stay again.

This is a truly unique property with outstanding views of San Francisco Bay and more. Lots of history behind the property and “retro”decor. The downside with original everything is it comes with old smells, not terrible but important for anyone thinking about renting the property. If that doesn’t bother you this place is truly “high on hill” over looking the city, Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge and so much more. The property has outside areas surrounding it that let you relax. Zoom in the pics below.
