Guesthouse vacation rentals in Mill Valley

This beautiful Oakland Oasis was better than I imagined it would be! This place exceeded my expectations! Coming through the gate the first night, to a path of twinkling lights leading us to our adorable cabin took my breath away! It was the perfect location for peace and quiet right in the middle of Oakland. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more time on the property. We flew in from out of state to visit friends and spent a lot of time out and about. I definitely want to come back to spend more time hanging out in the backyard with the goats and chickens. My 13-year-old loved the backyard, the trampoline and the animals. The location was very walkable and within several blocks of many restaurants and shops. We rented a car and street parking was easily accessible. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park was only an 8 minute drive away and we spent most mornings walking through the mountains enjoying the beautiful trees and views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this listing!

I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

Our stay in Rosa's ADU could not have worked out better. Our kids live right up the block and it is a great location for so many things. We loved exploring Golden Gate Park and there were plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Rosa was an excellent communicator and was attentive to our needs. She changed out our towels during the trip and restocked kleenex. Rosa and her husband are San Fran natives and supplied very interesting San Fran history and guide books in the unit as well. We will definitely be back!

Very friendly and proactive host. Praceful and quiet location. Several pieces of lovely fruit were provided, as well as flavored sparkling water, milk, and granola/muesli, which was really convenient. Showerhead can be adjusted for angle and whether you want a straighter stream straight down, or a wider spray. I appreciated that there was a screen on the window so it was easy to get fresh air when I wanted while keeping bugs out. I suggest trying to time your arrival the first day during daylight hours, as that will make it easier to see the signs, especially when Google Maps is off by a few yards in terms of where it tells you to turn.

This was an EXCELLENT Airbnb. Great value, beautiful property, plenty of privacy, exceptionally good instructions form the hosts. I can not recommend highly enough. Great place to recharge.

A return visit for us. Just as nice as the first time. Thanks Teresa!

We had a nice stay at the Berry Patch cottage. It’s bigger than what shows in photos – you have to walk from the bedroom through the kitchen and living room to the bathroom. We spent most of our time in the bedroom cozied up next to the propane fireplace. This cottage does not have a fully enclosed yard like the smaller cottage next door. Our dogs still enjoyed exploring the yard on leash, and there are plenty of options for walks in the neighborhood and nearby. The modest digs was all that we needed to have a lovely weekend. Jeri is a sweet host and her raspberry jam is delicious on a slice of local bread!

Heidi's Casaluna is very nice! It was the perfect place for my weekend stay, peaceful with little distractions. The room opened up to a lovely back yard area with a garden and table and chairs. The bed was comfortable, the couch was a nice reading spot, and while the heaters did not blow, they were great at helping keep the room at the right temperature. Also of note, I was really happy with how calm and quiet the neighborhood felt day and night.

This is an excellent choice for a visit to Marin. The interior makes such great use of space - plenty of outlets, beautiful Italian tiles, nice art, and extremely comfortable bed. There's also a cute outdoor patio that would be perfect for coffee, though we never took advantage. We walked to Trader Joe's and downtown is also an easy walk. It's quiet, peaceful, and the wifi worked great. Andrea also provides lots of extras, like oil, coffee, salt/pepper, etc. Everything you need to make a meal, which we did. Most couples travel with one car; our only hitch was needing two since we live in separate locations. Nevertheless, we figured out a way to use the space available and also find additional street parking with no constraints. Highly recommended!

Rifat’s home was as advertised and she is a lovely host! Perfect set up for being productive, creative or just relaxing. Enjoyed coffee on the expansive patio in the morning and wine in the evening. A great spot to think and enjoy the scenery. Also plenty of great hikes nearby. Check out the local farmers market on Sundays. A fantastic stay!

I enjoyed my stay at Mary Lee and David’s place. It was perfectly located for my purposes, affording easy access to both the East Bay and Marin. The place is well appointed and clean, the entry through the backyard pretty, and the neighborhood charming. They were great hosts - available, but not hovering, their communication clear and timely.

This is such a wonderful place to stay! Beautiful views and the little house has everything you need to be comfortable. Highly recommend!

David is a great landlord. He was extremely fast to answer all questions. He was super helpful too!

It’s a very private abode even though you share a gated entrance with the owner. Barry couldn’t have been friendlier and had a great spirt about him. We nerded out on landscaping, tiny homes, and rivers. He sold me on giving the American River some of my time this year. I’d absolutely stay here again. The only real issue was the effort to climb down a ladder half awake. I did it in the dark so I wouldn’t lose my cat eyes and wake up too fast. There’s plenty of outside lounging areas and the views are pretty. I had a decent view of the night sky to the east and above. The town may be busy but you’re perched hillside under some great live oaks. The neighborhood was full of quiet families and quirky houses that are truly Marin County in nature. Open space trails are just uphill and the town is just down. It’s very convenient to everything.

Chris had an amazing bnb! The place was spacious and very accommodating. Everything was labeled and easy to navigate. We would stay again if ever in the area!

This is our fourth stay at Creole Place. Both Susan and her husband Gerald are very accommodating, kind, and responsive in every way without ever interfering in any way. The quiet location is easily accessed plus it is a quick walk to Safeway, CVS, and shops and restaurants at Red Hill Shopping Center. Our grandson has stayed with us and loves visiting. There is a beautiful very large screen TV with multiple kid friendly programs. A park with a ball diamond and playground, and a nice hill for exploration are both close by. Nice restaurants close by, but I really also enjoy cooking in the lovely kitchen. We celebrated Christmas** here with our family, and have made reservations to return to Creole Cottage in late April. **We were not able to find Christmas wrapping paper (last minute gifts) and the stores were SOLD OUT. I ran into Susan and mentioned going back to get bags when I really wanted/needed paper. She was there in 5 minutes with her wrapping paper.♥️

My partner and I absolutely loved Sarah's place. It was super peaceful and relaxing being surrounded by the beautiful trees and hearing the sound of birds and the nearby creek. As soon as you walk in, you can tell Sarah puts alot of love and care to ensure anyone staying there feels comfortable. We really appreciated that and look forward to booking her place again when we need a relaxing retreat to rest and reset.

This was my second stay at Mary's place and it was great again. Beautiful quiet location, very walkable, close to public transportation, the beach and restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and got to know Mary more on this trip.

I stayed at Steven's place while attending a conference at SFSU. It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood and very conveniently located for my purposes. It was a quick walk to the university. It was also a 10 minute walk from grocery stores/ a mall and a 5 minute walk to the MUNI. The apartment itself was clean, quiet, and had a very comfortable bed. Steven was quick to respond and very accommodating when I had questions about my reservation. I would stay here again.

This was my second stay at Xiaole’s place. Bed is very comfortable, nice linens and pillows. Nice bathroom with large shower. Kitchenette very adequate for my needs. Location borders Pinole which has lots of places to eat or takeout.

Charming garden cottage with great location. Very close to vibrant commercial district yet very quiet and peaceful. Lots of street parking and close to transportation.

This lovely, cozy apartment is in a quiet neighborhood and convenient to downtown. We love staying here when we visit Petaluma. Carole is an excellent host.

Enjoyed my stay again! Friendly and responsive host, place is clean and as described. Looking forward to booking in the future!

This perfectly-appointed cabin in the sky was the ideal escape “between the years.” It rained every day of our stay but that did not stop us from walking down to the beach, grabbing a bite at Parkside Cafe, and exploring every hiking trail in walking distance. (Highly recommend the Dipsea trail to Steep Ravine with a side bar to the Stinson Tree.) Carey really thought of everything: not only was the bed comfy and the place spotlessly clean, the kitchen was well-equipped (cream for the coffee!) as was the bathroom (thick towels!) We especially appreciated the clear instructions for operating windows and other things. It was our best Airbnb experience to date and we can’t wait to come back.
