About this property

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 and 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.
You must be able to climb 7 steps for access to and from the driveway to the entrance.
The small kitchenette is not setup for cooking. It has a mini fridge (no freezer), coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave oven, toaster, dishes, flatware, cups, and glasses.
It's designed for 2 guests, but can sleep up to 4.
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 very cozy, quiet little “pied-a-terre”. We were very comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely coastal fog. A welcome break from Central California. It’s central location made it easy to drive out to the Marine headlands, Sausalito, hiking trails, and Old Mill Valley. The minimal kitchenette was more than sufficient for our needs. We would enjoy visiting here again.

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.
