Summary: Joan’s home is very comfortable with a fabulous view over the tree tops of the Mill Valley hills with beautiful redwoods right next to the house for a special ambiance. It does have a very steep driveway and a lot of stairs. No A/C, but it’s not usually as warm as it was when we stayed, and opening up doors and windows and her fans helped. Great kitchen, laundry room, huge open dining and living area with wall-to -wall windows to enjoy the beautiful up view! Joan was very nice and responsive, and her sweet dog, Gigi, met us every morning for coffee and a head rub. Very convenient to downtown Mill Valley! It was a great experience!

Summary: We loved our stay at Joan’s Treehouse in the redwoods! The home was unique, the bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the wonderful deck! We saw deer, hummingbirds and a Great Horned Owl family! It was a lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine and the spectacular view! Joan was a delightful host and answered our questions promptly. Her dog, Gigi was a special treat, such a sweetheart! We would definitely recommend this property to others staying in Mill Valley. It was within walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Summary: Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay. Mill Valley is a serene and convenient home base for trips to the Bay Area, and Joan’s lovely home had everything we could need (comfy beds, great bathrooms, laundry), plus an ideal location for relaxing walks to downtown shops and restaurants, Old Mill Park for the kids, and driving to SF/Muir Woods/Mt. Tam/Point Reyes/Wine Country. Each morning we witnessed a stunning sunrise through the redwoods and enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and large deck (we listened to birds waking, the kids saw deer roam up the hill through the yard). It truly felt like a tree house, but with fantastic floor to ceiling windows. The area is of course very hilly, so use caution if you are not used to driving/parking on steep grades. We all (but especially the kids) loved going over the Golden Gate Bridge most of the days of our stay, and the drive in/out of San Fran was fairly quick and gorgeous (the bridge has a 9.75 toll). As a family with young kids (5 and 3 yo) we appreciated that Joan was staying in the lower level when a few questions came up. Mostly it was like she was hardly there; although, after our kids met her dog Gigi one morning, they wanted to see Gigi everyday so we tried to be outside a few times to “run into” them. :) In the couple weeks since our trip, I have been asked numerous times “can we go back to Joan’s house?”

Summary: Joan was a terrific host and made us feel welcome. The house is just fun and filled with interesting art, books, plants and furnishings. The "great room" is a really pleasant space and, already the photo doesn't show it, it's all glass on two sides, not just one, with redwoods right outside.

Summary: Joan was a doll. Gigi the poodle was adorable. Everything was well appointed. The kitchen items could have been cleaner but the bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The master shower head needs replacing. It works but the water comes out a little funky. The house is like a museum, paintings, artwork and a fun little book of the history of Joan’s travels… so interesting! It really is her home! The beds were comfortable. The town is a short 5 minute drive with Starbucks, EXCELLENT Michelin rated restaurants, live music and cute shops. The hiking was amazing and the redwoods were magical and took our breath away. It was easy to drive into San Francisco and enjoy the city. We wanted a unique, off the beaten path experience but also to have everything at our fingertips and Joan’s treehouse delivered! Joan’s description was completely accurate, the stairs and steep driveway are not for everyone, but if you are able to walk up a regular set of stairs, you can definitely get up them with your stuff if perhaps, a glass of wine and a wonderful view were waiting for you at the top!! Overall we had a wonderful stay and we would stay again.

Summary: We loved our stay here. Gorgeous house with everything you need including great art, great . books, great kitchen, comfortable beds, lots of extra pillows and blankets, and especially great views. This is someone’s home, not just a shell of a dwelling with sparse furniture. It felt like home for five days. We absolutely loved it!! The one con is the driveway. Although I didn’t take any stars away because of it, it is very steep and there is little space for the car to rest. Our group consisted of 4 seniors so this part was a little challenging. We did use street parking occasionally, and there are steps to the house from the road.
