Cozy Quiet Cottage Close to Trails, Wine Country & SF - 30 day Min till June!

Off the market since 2024, this cozy, quiet, and completely private free-standing cottage is filled with natural light and feels like a treehouse tucked among the redwoods. A family of deer is often seen in the yard, adding to the peaceful setting. It's feels like a great getaway but is close to everything.

The fully-furnished, immaculate one-bedroom features a very comfortable king-size bed, a small office with a desk, wood floors, a recently updated bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen with a gas stove. The living room is comfortable and inviting, and a full-size washer and dryer are included. There is also a small locked storage area in the carport.

The cottage has covered carport parking and is accessed by 13 stairs leading up to the living area. It’s less than 10 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, 5–10 minutes from Muir Woods, world-class hiking and biking trails, and just 40 minutes from wine country. The walking/bike path from Mill Valley to Sausalito is just steps away.

A great selection of shops and restaurants is nearby, with Whole Foods, Safeway, and Good Earth all within one mile. Walking trails lead into Sausalito and to nearby restaurants.

Wonderful Stay

The cottage was perfect … quiet, peaceful, ample amenities, and convenient to town and area attractions. The accommodations were very comfortable, and our host Rusty offered helpful tips and was very responsive to questions. Overall, an excellent value. We would definitely like to stay again during our next visit to Mill Valley.

A San Francisco Retreat

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing getaway with ease of access to San Francisco. Could not have asked for a more perfect location - easy travel by car AND ferry - and away from the downtown chaos. The treehouse was peaceful and perfect to R&R before and after running around the city. Hosts were awesome and super responsive, making the trip that much more enjoyable.

Comfortable property in an excellent location

Mill Valley is a lovely location and this is a lovely property to stay in. There are lots of walking routes and other things to do, plenty of places to eat and a good supermarket nearby. Sausalito and the Golden Gate Bridge are close by too. Rusty was always available if we needed anything. We stayed for 4 nights but if we come back again we may stay for longer than that,

Pleasant mill valley getaway

The cabin was a lovely small apartment in a charming quintessentially Californian neighborhood. Some highlights were a nice big shower with great water action, and a very comfortable bed. Rusty was attentive. Highly recommend for couples.

In the redwoods!

This was our second stay at Rusty’s Mill Valley cottage…we especially love that it is up a flight of stairs, so feel safe leaving windows open! It’s a very comfy place, bright living area and very comfortable bed. Full kitchen and laundry add to the beauty! We enjoyed morning coffee and a bagel before setting out each day.

Perfect for my husband and I. Cozy, comfortable cottage perfectly nestled in nature. Well equipped to easily settle in and Rusty was on point with keeping in touch with us to communicate details for our stay. Convenient location to everything! This was our first time staying here, but it sure won’t be our last as our son and DIL live just a short 10 minute drive from the cottage.

Great place, great location!

We had a lovely stay in Rusty’s Cottage. It had everything we needed and more! It is in a perfect location to see the sights of San Francisco, Napa Valley, Muir Woods, Golden Gate and everywhere in-between! There is good shopping close by as well as a great range of cafes and restaurants. The cottage is in a peaceful location and we were delighted to see the deer in the garden behind the cottage most mornings. Should we return to San Francisco we would have no hesitation in booking with Rusty again.

Lovely cottage

I loved my stay at this comfortable, quiet, private cottage. It was a perfect location close to stores, restaurants and the sights I wanted to see. There were even two deer who hung out under the trees outside the carport. I appreciated the kitchen which was equipped with everything I needed. Once I needed to contact the host about something and she responded immediately. I would definitely stay here again.

Meditative experince in beautiful location

I stayed 3 nights in this gem in Mill Valley CA. Great location near hiking trails restaurants and SF city. Property was super clean everything was high quality and you could not ask more friendlier and attentive host. I got separate notification to check in early, because my flight was in the morning. 6/5 starts from me.

Best Cottage in Marin Area

I spent 4 great weeks at this cottage. The apartment is very nice and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You don’t have any noise around. The area is really very quiet and the cottage is in a perfect position very close to the Golden Gate, Mill Valley downtown, Lakspur and 101. A special mention to the owners Rusty and Bob. They are very friendly and helpful for any question I had. If I could I have give to this cottage 6 Stars!
