Beautiful California Mid-Century Modern secluded guest studio with adjacent pool and therapeutic sauna included. Warm modern design, cabin-like feel with sweeping panoramic views. Hiking & biking with scenic bay views at your footsteps - mid-way between SF and Wine Country!

Seclulded & sunny Mid-Century Modern guest studio. Remodeled, large room with a luxurious Tuft and Needle Mint queen size mattress, premium linens and newly remodeled bathroom with very large shower. Adults-only property, not suitable for children under 18.

Please note, there is some outdoor repair work happening from 8-5PM on our patio adjacent to the unit and there may be noise from this.

Towels and linens are provided. Fully furnished kitchenette with two burner electric stove, oven/microwave and refrigerator included as well as complimentary coffee/tea and light healthy snacks. A small dining table with two chairs for your convenience. Pool and Red Cedar Sauna available for your use.

15 minute walk to China Camp State Park, mountain biking, hiking, lots of wild-life. 20 min drive to Golden Gate bridge and San Francisco. Native California trees at your footsteps mixed with fig, pomegranate and lemon trees around you.

Pool available for use (shared with other two-person guest unit and property owners) when it isn`t raining (it typically only rains Nov-May in NorCal :). We have solar heat activated for pool in the May - October, but not in the winter months. November to April we can heat the pool (natural gas) for an additional fee, just inquire. The pool is not suitable for children and infants for safety reasons and depth.

Safe, ample street parking is available; you must walk up a short gravel path (less than 30 seconds uphill) to access the property.

Tucked away on the top of a hill with full privacy yet minutes from the highway for easy access to the city. Great starting point to the wine country. Parking spot in front of your guest studio. There are two buildings on each edge of the property separated by a large yard. The first is your charming guest house, the second is the house where we live. Guests are welcome to use that outdoor yard fully.

I like to give guests full privacy and be available as much as our guests need us. I would like to make sure that you feel at home and as comfortable as you can be when traveling. Providing you a home away from home. So, let me know what you need. I`m always happy to share any local tips about the area, Marin, Nor. Cal. and San Francisco. I lived in San Francisco for 14 years, and still go there regularly. I will be happy to share with you valuable info about local gems that will make your trip even more special.

I love living in this part of Marin. One one hand, you get walkable access to nature, wildlife, hiking and mountain biking and on the other accessible to downtown San Rafael, restaurants, gourmet food and businesses. The third largest farmers market in the state is just 5 minute drive away on Thursdays and Sundays, where you can get gourmet food and fresh organic produce. There is a relaxed, friendly vibe about Marin County that I`m sure you enjoy as well.

Although public transit is available within a 1/2 mile, I do encourage you to have a car to get around.

    We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful retreat! Adam and Eli were great hosts and gave us some great recommendations of things to do in the area. We loved the windows here and the views! There were other renters below us, but we never saw them. I wouldn't have minded a happy hour with everyone! ;) There was some construction on the property during our stay, but it didn't start until 8 am, and we were up and starting our day by then. It's wonderful that Adam and Eli are creating their dream home surrounded by mountains, fruits, and vistas. The nights were serenely peaceful, the cottage was clean, thoughtfully appointed, and perfect for two people. Sadly, it was too cool during our stay to enjoy the pool, but the patio area was amazing.

    We had a fantastic stay at this property. The property was clean and had the basic things we needed for an 8-night stay. Hosts were prompt in communication and accommodating to our requests. The location was perfect for our days spent between San Francisco, Wine Country, and the various hikes in the area. Would definitely stay again!
