Modern NorCal Retreat - Courtyard, Spa, Family and Team Getaways Near Everything

Our newly constructed modern home is filled with natural light and designed for indoor outdoor living. Floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors open the home to the courtyard and surrounding landscape, creating comfortable gathering spaces inside and out.

The Courtyard House works well for family trips, group getaways, and small team retreats. With multiple areas to gather and relax, the home gives groups space to spend time together while still having room to spread out.

The location makes it easy to explore Marin County while staying close to San Francisco. Hiking, biking, kayaking, and beaches are all nearby.

Driving times
10 minutes to hiking, biking, and outdoor recreation
25 minutes to Muir Woods
30 minutes to Stinson Beach
40 minutes to wine country
10 minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge
2 minutes to Whole Foods and nearby restaurants

Bring family, friends, or colleagues and enjoy a comfortable place to spend time together while exploring the North Bay.

THE SPACE:

The Courtyard House recently received the Platinum Award for Single Family Production from the National Association of Home Builders.

Judge comments included:
“This home is phenomenally executed. It packed so much in under 2,000 square feet that it blows our mind. It’s richly detailed, and the texture and visual interest on the exterior feel very intentional. It features a lot of great indoor outdoor connections, and the way the kitchen is pulled out is hard to do with a floor plan and not have it feel awkward.”

Inside the home you will find bright open living areas, large windows, and a layout that makes it easy for groups to spend time together.

The design also works well for small retreats or workshops. Many groups use the main living area and courtyard for conversations, planning sessions, or relaxed gatherings.

Features guests appreciate
Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors and natural light
Open indoor outdoor layout
Spacious gathering areas
Fast WiFi for remote work or meetings
Quiet surroundings while still being close to town

Groups often spend mornings together in the house, then head out to explore nearby trails, beaches, or restaurants before returning in the evening.

The home was immaculate! Our two families consisted of teenagers and a grandparent all loved the place. The home was very clean and comfortable and large enough to provide space if you needed it. Our stay happen to be during a storm but we all didn't mind staying indoors at the home :) We played games, and enjoyed the fireplace and the home to its fullest. It made for a wonderful Holiday getaway. We cannot recommend this home enough! You will love it!

Everything was beautiful and perfect to drop in and immediately feel at home. The space is truly gorgeous, the landscaping is beautiful, the area is convenient. We were very close to trails for hiking/running, but also close enough for easy access to the highway. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use with everything labeled.

Wende’s house was a perfect spot for our small team of 6 to bond and plan for the year ahead. It’s rare that a listing exceeds expectations set by professional photography and descriptions. Wende’s house is one of those. I’d love to come back for future personal or work stays.

What a spectacular home. We were in town for a family event and this house was a great place for our family. The house is very cool, well equipped and was highly functional for us. We even used the gym in the garage. Plus, the private backyard was warm in the sun, in spite of it being mid-winter. Probably our favorite home we’ve rented.

Best House in Mill Valley

My friends and I had such a great time staying in this beautiful, modern house!! The house itself is gorgeous with modern furnishings and floor to ceiling windows - perfect for our group of 10 with more than enough space. Wende was a lovely host as well, super responsive and even went out of her way to order some kitchen items for us prior to our check in! The location was very convenient as well, only minutes away from Tiburon and many grocery stores. I would definitely rebook and recommend this spot to all my friends!

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous home for a quick weekend retreat. There were 6 of us and the space was perfect for us to spread out among the well-appointed bedrooms, while also having lots of common spaces to hang out. Wende and Thomas are incredible hosts, highly communicative and eager to make sure all our needs were met. Upon arrival, there were baked goods awaiting us in the kitchen. YouTube videos showing us how to operate and find everything were excellent. At one point, Thomas came over to switch out the propane tank for the fire pit. The house is even more spectacular in person than in the photos. We were in the lap of luxury while also minutes from restaurants, grocery stores, and highway 101. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate. You’ll have a beautiful and memorable time!
