A nice spot

Grace's ADU was a good choice for our recent two-week stay in Mill Valley. We don't mind stairs, so we walked down to town almost every day. The only negative that we experienced was it was difficult to keep the unit cool on some of the hotter days. AC would have been nice.

Fantastic!

We had an incredible stay at Grace's place. Absolutely gorgeous location, close to town (get ready for some stairs, though), and even possible to hike out of the front door right to Mt. Tam. The house is adorable, well-appointed, and beautiful. Grace was very responsive to our questions and super welcoming. What a treat to be able to stay here. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Cute little cottage!

We really enjoyed our stay in this comfy guest house in Mill Valley with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. It is located in a quiet neighborhood so one can really relax. It is very close (walking distance! - although down a steep hill) to the charming village of Mill Valley, with its many art galleries, coffee shops, etc. The hosts were very responsive. We hope to return in the future :)

Comfort, Location, and Quiet

This was the perfect location for day trips into San Francisco, which for us included Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Wharf, Golden Gate Park, Haight/Ashbury, Chinatown, and Muir Woods. Returning there each day brought comfortable surroundings, a well equipped kitchen, a lovely view, and a good night’s sleep. My two favorite things about the property, aside from location, were the quietness of the neighborhood and the glorious breezes accessible through opening the windows (we were there during a heat wave). The town of Mill Valley was delightful and the walks there and back invigorating. A wonderful place for celebrating my 50th birthday!

Comfortable in Mill Valley

We were in Mill Valley for a wedding and stayed one week. Overall we enjoyed the location although parking is a little tight if your vehicle is on the bigger side. Appreciated the two story set up with the bedroom on the lower level and kitchen/living area on the top.

Perfect getaway.

We loved our stay at Grace's home! The property was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. We are already thinking about coming back and staying for longer - it felt like the perfect getaway to Mill Valley. Walkable to town (albeit a bit steep!), easy access to hiking trails, and a bit of peace and quiet. Highly recommend!

Great Property

Stayed here for two weeks and the property is great. Plenty of space, bed was very comfortable and had all the amenities required. Just outside of Mill Valley, far enough that the property is quiet and feels like a country house but being very close to the town centre. Host was very helpful and on hand if anything is required.

About the host

Hosted by Grace Hawthorne

We have lived in Mill Valley for over 18 years because of the charming downtown, wonderful access to trails, beautiful redwoods and proximity to San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

Helens Ln. is the closest walk to downtown with the priceless view of Mt. Tam. This guest house will be like your home away from home because of the spaciousness and the full size kitchen. Newly furnished with modern furnishings and amenities.

What makes this property unique

A five minute walk or a two minute drive downtown will put you in a sea of culinary delights-- award winning restaurants, gourmet grocery store, excellent coffee and what we call nature's cathedral-- running streams, giant redwoods, chirping birds.
