What guests think
Beautiful, Secluded Bay View Cottage in the Trees is a unique, quiet retreat among trees with bay views, praised for its comfortable design, cleanliness, and thoughtful amenities, while still convenient to Marin and San Francisco attractions.
Many reviewers appreciate the wraparound deck, cozy bedding, and a well equipped kitchen, with some also mentioning access to a hot tub. Hosts Joe and Mali are frequently described as friendly, responsive, and respectful of privacy, handling needs quickly from returning left items to resolving heating or Wi-Fi hiccups. A couple of reviews note the driveway can be tricky to find or navigate, but this did not detract from otherwise smooth stays. Expect a tranquil, thoughtfully maintained hideaway.
