Beautiful home and gardens; convenient to Marin county and San Francisco
Excellent location, convenient to reach San Francisco, Marin county and Muir Woods. Beautifully appointed home with wonderful artwork and landscaping. The home was spotless and well equipped. If anything the listing and pictures don’t do justice to just how nice a place this is. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, charming house.
We stayed here with our adult children for 2 nights. The house is lovely and comfortable with many nice amenities. Good location - walkable to many restaurants and shops. The grounds are lushly decorated and private. The only thing we were missing was a hair dryer. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.
