“It was such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay. I highly recommend it.” Kimberly, Hawaii, October 2023 “This has been one of my favorite Airbnb stays. It looks just like the pictures. The view is private and serene. The living room is cozy and the fireplace was a major bonus.” Kristin, Missouri, October 2023. Situated on a secluded 1 .5 acre redwood and garden paradise, our idyllic cottage is nestled amongst the giant redwood trees that have been the focus of explorers for generations. The space This once in a lifetime cottage escape is just minutes from famed Muir Woods, Mt. Tam and sits atop some of the best hiking trails in all of Northern California. Walk or take a short drive to Muir Woods, our cozy cottage is ideal to write your memoirs, commune with nature, write that book or binge watch Jack Ryan. We would love to tell you how wonderful the home is but those who have stayed here have left reviews that we hope you find more telling. An escape retreat for hikers, naturalists, explorers and those wanting to immerse in a redwood forest surrounded by overgrown gardens and canopies of nature and light. If you want to hike Muir Woods, you can walk from the house to Canopy Trail - one of the nicest. It’s a short drive to Muir beach and the Coastal Fire trails, and a not very long drive to Stinson. Is this Airbnb for you? Yes if you seek privacy, beauty, serenity. This is where one comes to escape the noise and immerse in nature. This is not for you if you’re seeking luxury, modern, spacious, suburban. The cottage is private, peaceful, and quiet. Past guests have shared this was a fantastic, idyllic, cozy Airbnb cottage that fulfilled all of their hopes and went beyond expectations. The decor, cleanliness and location was beyond great. With high speed wifi and gas starting wood burning fireplace, you may not need to leave in order to recharge and reconnect with nature, with your significant other or yourself. ***The road getting here is windy (but paved!), but once you're here we guarantee you will not want to leave. Our description will be helpful as will our photos, but hundreds of reviews also tell the story of what this cottage in the woods has meant to nearly every single person who has stayed here. Our dream like cottage is set on a 1 1/2 acre "park-like" setting with a beautiful and diverse garden. In fact the previous owner was a botanist who brought in rare & non native plantings. What may at first glance appear as overgrowth is an intentional landscape plan that promotes height, depth, color, and an array of fragrances. This mountain home retreat is situated on a hill with beautiful views of the valley, and the Bay. It offers a ladder-to-loft hideaway for an extra 2 people (in addition to the quaint master bedroom). A fireplace in the living room will truly bring you comfort and warmth in any season. Note that our washer/dryer is below the home (in a basement like room) - meaning you'll have to exit the main door and walk outside to reach the room in order to perform wash/dry. Please note: Access to the property is down a narrow street and requires a 3 mile drive up the famed Mt. Tam and Panoramic Highway arterial streets. Once here you are guaranteed to find peace, quiet, relaxation and no desire to ever leave our mountain retreat and hideaway. A Note About Our Weather/Climate: For most times of the year, we are blessed with perfect Northern California weather. Cool mornings and evenings and warm and pleasant mid day and afternoon temps. Please note, that the home is located in a “banana belt’. The fog can be blowing in heavily on the mountain but at our place it can be beautiful and sunny. It’s actually pretty weird!
