Property Description
This is a sweet retreat nestled in the eucalyptus trees, a 5-10 minute drive from hiking trails in the Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, Muir Beach and Green Gulch Farm, 15 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.
This large studio is the lower unit of a house built in 1965. My wife and I live upstairs, above this apartment - You may hear us moving about. Recently renovated with new furniture, the apartment is fresh, light-filled and private. Surrounded by trees, it truly feels like a private haven.
The small kitchenette has a Coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave oven, and toaster. It is not setup for cooking.
Perfect for weekend getaways or even a week of sight seeing in the Bay Area, our apartment offers quiet serenity and comfort.
Relax and enjoy our private deck.

A very cozy, quiet little “pied-a-terre”. We were very comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely coastal fog. A welcome break from Central California. It’s central location made it easy to drive out to the Marine headlands, Sausalito, hiking trails, and Old Mill Valley. The minimal kitchenette was more than sufficient for our needs. We would enjoy visiting here again.

Mill Valley was a fabulous choice for us to stay during our recent visit to the area. This property is about 10-15 minutes from a lot of different hiking options on Mt Tam and also Muir Woods. It was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for our weeklong stay in the area. Mitch and Susan were great and responsive to all of our questions. I’m so glad I found this place bc this area is great and we enjoyed our time north of the golden gate more than our time in the city. The only two things I will mention here, especially for those staying with children, is that this is a one room apartment, with no door between the bedroom and living area. I misinterpreted the description and the pictures don’t really give a good impression of the size of the apartment. This would be an ideal place to stay alone without kids-for us, however, having no break from my 9 year old for the week was exhausting. The only other thing I’d like to mention here is that the caretakers do live upstairs, and the footsteps in the morning seem loud at times. The couple of days when my son didn’t wake us up with the TV, the footsteps above definitely did. But we are relatively early risers, so it wasn’t a huge deal. But if you like a good sleep-in, that may be difficult at times here. Other than that, this was definitely a five star stay in a perfect location. It was indeed “a haven in the trees.”

Excellent Property
Mitch and Susan were excellent at communication, their info book was chock full of good recommendations; the apartment itself was spotless; Susan's art on the walls was a welcome personal touch (so nice to see original art and not Home Goods-type art!). The bed is super comfy. The view from the deck (which was a very nice deck) was inspiring. Great shower. Thanks for the parking spot. We would definitely stay here again and hope to on a return trip for more art, more hiking and more wine-tasting.

Perfect location
We love Muir Beach, and this place is about 12 minutes up and over the hill from there! less than 10 minutes the other direction are an excellent grocery store and several nice places to eat. Beds were comfortable with good sheets & pillows, mini kitchen perfectly adequate and the bathroom well appointed with good towels, wash cloths and bathmats.I'll be back!

A perfect weekend getaway!
I had a wonderful stay at Haven in the Woods with two adults and one child. The place was exactly as described—peaceful, quiet, and tucked away in a beautiful wooded setting. It was the perfect setup for our small family, offering a relaxing retreat while still being conveniently close to Muir Woods and the Golden Gate Recreation Area. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the hosts were excellent at communicating throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene escape in nature with easy access to nearby attractions.

Mill Valley Get Away
Was looking for a place just outside SF and am very glad I found this place. It was perfect for our weekend getaway to SF. Close to beautiful Muir Woods and the Golden Gate. We had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see and visit. The place was quiet, clean, and had everything you would expect to enjoy. The view from the deck is spectacular, especially during sunrise and sunset. Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area again and would recommend to anyone who appreciates nature.
