SECLUDED: On a one-acre property surrounded by redwoods The space This is the guest house on our 1+ acre estate. Once you enter the unit, the kitchen is on your right and the living room is on your left. Behind the living room is the middle bedroom. After that there is a bathroom and finally the primary bedroom is in the back. Note that it is a slightly strange layout in that the middle bedroom lies between the main living area and the primary bedroom. So it’s probably best to have the earliest riser sleep in the middle bedroom. The living room features a sleeper sofa that makes into a queen bed, a (natural gas) wood stove and a flat panel TV. A second TV is in the primary bedroom. Off the living room is a deck complete with seating area and bbq. There is a hot tub and a washer & dryer. The kitchen is small but complete (dishwasher, Keurig, etc). We provide K-cups and complimentary chocolate and a bottle of wine (or sparkling cider if you prefer). The dining room table has four chairs (two more are available) and the granite bar has two barstools. The cottage has three steps at the entrance. Otherwise, it is a single story unit with no stairs. The climate: Being so near to the ocean, Mill Valley tends to stay cool. We normally just open windows to adjust the temperature. But for those that need it, there is a window A/C unit in the primary living space. PEACEFUL SECLUSION IN NATURE: Nestled on a little over an acre so there are no close neighbors.
