Guesthouse vacation rentals in Mill Valley

Our stay at Lori and Mike’s place was absolutely fantastic, and Lori truly made it unforgettable. While Mike was away on a trip, Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—and more. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in creating a comfortable, personalized experience. She checked in with us just enough to make sure we were all set and shared amazing local tips that really made our trip extra special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you so much, Lori—you’re truly one of a kind!

Perfect location! I was in town running a training, and this place was the ideal private space to recharge. Quiet, comfortable, and well-situated. Maria was thoughtful, responsive, and easy to communicate with—everything I needed for a smooth stay.

Our stay at the Quail House was everything we wanted and so much more. A truly magical place. Judith was also an incredible host and a pleasure to get to know.

Great place to stay at with responsive hosts. I enjoyed our stay. I’d consider staying at this place again.

When we walked in, the tea house looked exactly like the pics! The soaking tub was amazing and felt great to relax in and the bed was ultra comfortable and I so want to get whatever mattress that is. This is also really close to The Greek if you’re looking for a place to stay after a concert/show. It was about a 1.5 mile walk or really quick uber ride if you don’t like walking.

It was a great stay. They have a beautiful property and garden. Berkley is a great walking city. It was fun to explore. This was my 2nd time to Berkeley, and my wife and kid's first. She loved the city. Thanks for a great stay.

My family stayed in Teresa’s place and could not have had a more wonderful experience. Teresa was lovely and very communicative which made everything super easy. The location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. We walked everywhere and always had a quiet, cool spot to come home to at the end of the day. I highly recommend staying here ♥️ We hope to be back!!

We had a wonderful stay in San Rafael! There were some Wi-Fi issues and Kelly went above and beyond to get them resolved. We were happy to see the kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils you could need, and we were super grateful for the high chair and pack & play provided for our 1 year old. Kelly was very friendly and responsive. We did go through the wrong gate initially when we were checking in but figured out quickly that the space is attached to the carport. Thank you Kelly!

Linda welcomed us in person while we were checking in. Cozy, super well equipped little 1 room apartment. Very clean & tidy with a lot of extras. Not that far from airport & bus line 3-5 min away. We felt right away home and comfy. Thank you Linda also for your recommendations & quick responses. We loved staying there and would book with her again. Highly recommended for 3-5 days or longer Wish you all the best

My husband and I stayed in Anita’s home for a few days while in the area for a wedding. The photos of the private patio space and well equipped, modern interior were what drew us in and they didn’t disappoint. We had everything we needed including small touches that go a long way like bottled water (and miniature chocolates— a necessity for me personally). The home is well lit with natural daylight, while still being very turn-down friendly with nice shades and window treatments. We really enjoyed the patio space and the (gated) private entry. It was safe, clean and cozy, a very easy place to make home for several days+. While there, we even got a few glimpses and interactions with Anita’s PRECIOUS dog, Oisin and frankly wish we got to see more of him as we were missing our own dog at home (though he is much quieter, and we never heard a peep). Location was great, just a short distance from one of the top rated lunch spots in Sonoma. We’d definitely stay here again!

This was our first time staying in a guesthouse, and sharing a space with the owners, and I was completely blown away, we both felt right at home, so much so we didn’t wanna leave haha. Victor and Michelle gave us our privacy but also complete freedom to play music, relax on the patio, and roam around their absolutely beautiful backyard. We were able to come and go as we please and always know our things would be safe. The kitchen had everything you could need, the bed was extra comfy and the shower was a DREAM, the whole experience was incredibly cozy and peaceful. This was truly the best place we both have ever stayed, 1000% would recommend!!!

Eugenia’s place and Eugenia and her husband are fantastic… One of the most comfortable organic cotton beds I’ve ever slept on, the most enchanting, beautiful property, and every appliance state of the art, efficient and intentional with the touch of love. Eugenia brought me teas, and various unconventional items I asked for. And the natural light and airflow were wonderful. And very healing and the most peaceful and healing neighborhood I’ve stayed at in the East Bay. For anyone looking for a healing retreat, Book this place as soon as possible

Peaceful oasis with a cute little private deck. Katie and neighbors were nearby but I barely saw them and still felt totally private. Pristine space, so clean and tidy (and I’m a germaphobe). The view outside is even better than photos. I could hear the owls and birds, felt close to nature but also not too close haha. Excellent WiFi. Katie is super friendly and helpful with any requests, and accommodating with late check in/out. I loved her space and plan to return! Easy to find even in the dark due to her careful instructions. Felt totally safe as solo female traveler. Would recommend!

Super spot for us! We were in town for a party and the host was great at checking in to make sure we had everything we needed! Lovely Airbnb!

Alexi’s place felt like a home away from home. The cabin is spacious, clean, thoughtfully designed, and perfect for 2 people to stay. A great base to explore the Sonoma and Napa regions. We didn’t manage to try out the sauna and hot tub this time, but felt very comfortable staying at Alexi’s place.

This is our 5th stay. Our grandson loves being here. This time one of the things we did was drive up the road to Fairfax to see Thunderbolt, and then we had a Marvel Movie Marathon with all the comforts of home and a much larger TV. Matthew pronounced it "a nice set up!" We have easily had family dinners and holiday celebrations and appreciate having Safeway, a park, trails and many conveniences within easy walking distance. When driving, there are all kinds of great restaurants, parks, and other activities well worth exploring. Our family is in Corte Madera and SF so we really like this location. We usually come at Christmas so the spring weather was a delight. Susan's flowers were blooming. She had put 2 sprays of gorgeous yellow orchids in a kitchen window. She also had vases of roses and 1 of white orchids on tables and counters. Such a thoughtful touch. We are both readers; she recommended a book to me, and my book is now reading it in Sept. Creole Cottage is an easy place to be.

Sarah’s place was really cozy and quiet! We spent a lot of time in SF but it was really nice coming back to the cottage and sleep in the comfortable bed! We would definitely stay again. It wasn’t too far from public transportation and the view was amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed and we really enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner with the view!

My husband and I stayed here for our wedding night and it was absolutely perfect! The view is unreal and the chickens on the back side of the house are adorable and really quiet. Thank you Carissa!

Xiaol’s place was nestled in a super quiet suburban neighborhood. It was peaceful, we didn’t hear a thing when we slept. The house was spacious enough we enjoyed daily yoga. My husband loved the bedroom mattress. I really loved the sofa bed because it was firm and even. I don’t sleep on soft mattresses so the sofa bed let me sleep like a baby. The kitchen was a good size and had everything we needed. I enjoyed complete privacy while Xiaole responded our questions but left us undisturbed. The large screen TV was pristine and very easy to use as well. The house had what we exactly needed. So if you need a private, peaceful house, you can’t go wrong with Xiaole’s listings!

Wonderful little cottage getaway on a pleasant and peaceful property. Kathy was an amazing host making us feel right at home. Plenty of space for a couple and very tasteful decor with a well stocked kitchen! Would highly recommend staying here! :)

We loved our time here! Not only were Darren and Laura wonderful hosts and communicators, but the property genuinely exceeded our expectations, the Airbnb was MORE beautiful in person than in the photos (hard to believe, I know), and the location of the neighborhood was incredible — high up on a hill of a beautiful and safe neighborhood. 😍 Only recommendation for future guests — book one extra day!! There is so much to do and such little time! We would’ve loved to have one more day to enjoy the Airbnb a little more. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Very clean and pleasant spot near downtown, with a private patio. The unit is above garages (so you don't hear anyone downstairs). Comfy bed. Well-equipped kitchen. It's tucked back from the street, but from the bedroom you can hear a little bit of the E. Washington traffic (less than a block away). We'd stay here again.

Amazing place and amazing host. We are so grateful we find Eliza and her place. Super helpful, great communication, Eliza’s place is so beautiful and we’ll take care of Thank you Eliza ❤️

I am a single woman traveler with two large dogs (8-night stay) Bonus: The bedroom was surprisingly large, and the modern bathroom was a standout. Having a dedicated parking spot in San Francisco — even for my SUV — was a huge plus. I felt safe at this location, which is important when traveling alone. There’s a lovely park just a few houses down the street. The host also provided coffee for the mornings, which was a thoughtful touch. The home included a desk for remote work, and they accepted my two large dogs, which I appreciated. For the price, parking, and pet-friendliness, this was a good stay. Just to keep in mind: The place is dog-friendly, but it needs some upkeep. A few things didn’t work as expected or were broken, and the closet was cluttered with items. Overall, the space didn’t exactly match the photos and could use attention to bring it back to its listed condition. Overall: If you don’t plan on cooking and need local transportation, this place could be a great fit.
