Haven in the trees, minutes from hiking trails

This is a sweet retreat nestled in the eucalyptus trees, a 5-10 minute drive from hiking trails in the Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, Muir Beach and Green Gulch Farm, 15 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.
This large studio is the lower unit of a house built in 1965. My wife and I live upstairs, above this apartment - You may hear us moving about. Recently renovated with new furniture, the apartment is fresh, light-filled and private. Surrounded by trees, it truly feels like a private haven.
The small kitchenette has a Coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave oven, and toaster. It is not setup for cooking.
Perfect for weekend getaways or even a week of sight seeing in the Bay Area, our apartment offers quiet serenity and comfort.
Relax and enjoy our private deck.

A perfect weekend getaway!

I had a wonderful stay at Haven in the Woods with two adults and one child. The place was exactly as described—peaceful, quiet, and tucked away in a beautiful wooded setting. It was the perfect setup for our small family, offering a relaxing retreat while still being conveniently close to Muir Woods and the Golden Gate Recreation Area. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the hosts were excellent at communicating throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene escape in nature with easy access to nearby attractions.

Mill Valley Get Away

Was looking for a place just outside SF and am very glad I found this place. It was perfect for our weekend getaway to SF. Close to beautiful Muir Woods and the Golden Gate. We had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see and visit. The place was quiet, clean, and had everything you would expect to enjoy. The view from the deck is spectacular, especially during sunrise and sunset. Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area again and would recommend to anyone who appreciates nature.

Mill Valley Gem

We had a great girls weekend and the accommodations did not dissapoint! Perfect location that felt like you had a remote mountain getaway yet just a few minutes from adorable downtown Mill Valley and 15 minutes from Muir Woods! Our host was super responsive and we enjoyed some of the local recs that were in the welcome booklet. The kitchenette was great with all the basic needs. Beds were comfy and whole place was very clean!

Comfy and Close to Everything

We had an enjoyable stay at Haven in the Trees! It’s a 25 minute drive to Stinson Beach, 15 minutes from San Francisco, and is situated in the heart of trail hiking heaven. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the back deck for resting and enjoying the trees and views. Mitch and Susan were super friendly! Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful Getaway

Such a peaceful place to rest after the hustle and bustle of being in the city. Mitch and Susan's place is simple, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We all slept like babies while we were there. Thank you!

A Welcome Retreat, Close To The City

We stayed at Have In The Trees for a week in summer 2024, as part of an extended roadtrip. The place was immaculate, quiet, and the perfect jump off point to various spots north of SF, as well as the city itself. The hosts were very responsive, and we had everything we needed for our brief stay! If we're ever back in the area, this will be our go-to spot.

Peaceful retreat

Stayed here with my adult daughter for annual mother-daughter getaway. The attraction was Muir Woods and Mill Valley. This place was perfectly located for both. Mitch the owner was as hospitable as can be. The place was super clean and updated. Peaceful views of towering Eucalyptus can be enjoyed from the inside and from attached deck. Kitchenette has all necessary features for snacks and coffee/tea. Updated bath was well supplied. Overall a most pleasant experience.

A Step Above Glamping

I do not have enough good things to say about this place! It is clean and quaint tucked into a quiet neighborhood amongst the trees. We loved having our morning coffee on the balcony while our toddler tried to count the trees. The best personalized touch was Susan's artwork throughout. It felt like we were staying at an Aunt & Uncle's place. It felt like upscale glamping but with a full bathroom. Thank you for having us; we will be back!

Excellent location. Very comfortable. Clean. Lovely.

I was reticent to rent here as it only had 1 review. But, as it was the last minute, we had no choice. So glad that we did!!! Of the 3 apts that we have rented in the Bay Area, this one is BY FAR the best of the bunch. Everything in it is updated, clean & well designed to maximize space, aesthetic appeal & convenience. The view is even more lovely than the photos depict & the space is so bright with natural light from the many well-placed windows that it never occurred to us to turn on the lights (except during our pre-dawn departure). But, I cannot emphasize enough the comfort: While we have stayed at some very cute places with brilliant views, this is the only VRBO in the Bay Area we have found that is COMFORTABLE. The bed was so comfortable, but what is more, the hosts even made sure that the fold-out sofa had an extra foam topper to make it especially comfortable (so when I snored my husband out of bed, he had a comfortable place to escape!). I have stayed at rentals on multiple continents. It is a rare host/hostess who is so considerate of the guest's comfort. Other favorites: There were plenty of towels & plenty of towel racks. Sweetest bonus: the hostess is a professional Marin County artist & some of her watercolors grace the walls. Makes you feel less like a customer & more like a guest. One caveat: during the daylight hours, there is foot traffic above your head (as in any hotel). But, come nightfall, the house & neighborhood are dead SILENT.

Great Stay, it Matched the Description Perfectly

What you see is what you get with this place. Very well appointed unit below Mitch's place. We basically didn't know he was home, unless I needed something, then he was very responsive. The location is great, in a very nice neighborhood, with tall eucalyptus trees all around. It's very close to Mt Tam, Muir Beach, and Sausalito and Stinson aren't far. The patio was nice for a nap on the lounge chairs, although those could probably use some padding. The bathroom and shower were really nice and roomy, and the bed was super comfortable. I would definitely stay again, and really appreciated how accomadating and flexible Mitch was, thank you!
