Beautiful, Secluded Bay View Cottage in the Trees

This is a beautiful, 20-sided shingled cottage set on more than an acre of oak trees, with views of the San Francisco Bay through the trees. The property is gated with off-street parking. This unique guest house offers one bedroom with a queen bed, and a full size sofa bed in the living room. Windows in every room look out into the oaks, where you can see deer, squirrels, and occasional rabbits.

The cottage was built with the finest materials, including slate roof with copper gutters, bamboo and slate floors, granite counter tops, tumbled marble shower, and maple cabinets. A deck with glass railing encircles the entire house. There is a full kitchen with refrigerator, gas cook top, True convection oven, and dishwasher. Wireless high speed Internet and cable are included.

The Bay View Cottage is just 2 miles from charming downtown San Rafael, and about the same distance to mountain biking, hiking, and picnicking at China Camp State Park.

Don't feel like cooking? The neighborhood grocery store is about a 10 minute walk from the cottage, and their deli offers an extensive selection of salads, sandwiches and pizzas, as well as complete gourmet meals. The wine selection is incredible.

PLEASE NOTE: Guests have use of the hot tub, which is on the deck of the main house. You may use it most any time; just give us advance notice. We will close the blinds on that side of the house and you will have a sense of privacy and a view of the SF Bay.

A perfect stay
My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights in November—it was just what we were looking for. It’s quiet and tucked away, and that view is lovely. The place is as pictured and communication with the host was great. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it anymore

Wow! This little house in the trees is a dream. We loved it.
Close to great restaurants, the ferry to SF and lovely walks. I can’t say enough in the positive. The owners greeted us when we arrived and they were super. My favorite rental of all time.

Perfect gateway to Mill, Sonoma & Napa valleys
The location made in a perfect spot for day trips north to wine country. Private and nestled into a natural setting, the cottage was clean and well equipped. Off the beaten path, with easy access to the main routes to the beauty of Northern California, this is a great vacation spot.

Wonderful Bungalow
This was absolutely an amazing place to stay. We wanted to experience SanFrancisco and this place was so amazing we never wanted to leave the house most days. Enjoyed coffee on the wrap around porch with birds and spectacular views of the bay! I could go on and on about this place and how welcomed we felt by Mr. & Mrs.Dunn! We will definitely stay there again!

Absolutely Lovely
We so enjoyed our stay. The cottage was just beautiful. Everything about our stay and the area was great. I had a brief conversation with Joe at check-in, who was kind and helpful and that was all we needed because everything else was well thought of and we were perfectly taken care of. Would love to re-visit on our next trip when there.

This is a lovely property in a lovely setting. Quiet natural setting yet very convenient to all that Marin has to offer. The hosts, who live in the main house on the property, were responsive and friendly but unobtrusive…which was perfect for us. The unit is well appointed and maintained and extremely clean. Our mid-week rate was an excellent value for such a great property and location. Overall, very highly recommended.

Honeymoon Bliss
We had a wonderful stay in the cutest treehouse/yurt! It was the end of our honeymoon and we were able to stay for several days. The space was perfect for us. Our hosts were gracious. The view was impeccable. Watching the birds and other creatures was our evening ritual. We can't say enough great things about our stay there. Do yourselves a favor and stay in this amazing treehouse!
