Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Marin County

Joan's place is magical — set amidst redwoods within walking distance of the center of Mill Valley, where there are plenty of restaurants, a good bookstore, and delicious coffee. The living/dining area has floor to ceiling windows...more like glass walls, and there's a spacious deck where you can watch the sunrise on a clear day and the stars at night. If you want to stay in a place that feels full of history and stories, there's no better place. This is the second time I've gotten to stay at Joan's for a work retreat, and it has been absolutely perfect both times. And Joan herself is utterly lovely and generous — an added delight to the experience.

Beautiful home and gardens full of quail and woodpeckers and gorgeous wildflowers. Great to be able to walk to beaches and trails right from the property (starting on the road). We loved this place! FYI - the bed in the primary bedroom is very comfy, but the cabins that sleep additional guests have beds of varying quality, e.g. the trundle in the little studio has a super soft mattress, so if you're particular, you might want to bring a topper etc.

A gorgeous house. Our extended family loved our stay here. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out in common areas or find more private spaces. Kitchen and house in general were well stocked with whatever we needed. Many great restaurants, stores, playgrounds within a 10 min drive. The host was not just super responsive and friendly, but went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable - even mailed an item we had left behind! Many wonderful memories were made here. Would absolutely love to stay again.

Perfect house to connect with our kids, grandkids and granddogs. Plenty of room, everything was clean and the beach was fantastic. We would definitely rent this house again!

We had a great stay at Caroline's Cottage while visiting our daughter that lives in the neighborhood. The Cottage is just like the pictures , very nicely decorated and not much clutter . Very comfortable beds with good linens , plenty of towels too . The kitchen is fully equipped to have meals at home if you so wish to do so. The house feels very peaceful and is very quiet , we loved that ! Caroline was a very friendly , responsive and helpful host . We did not encounter a single problem the whole time we stay there. We will definitely be back . Thank you , Caroline for hosting us.

We had an amazing 2 night stay at Greg's secluded Zen house. We really appreciated the thoughtful, ecclectic decor and ample and beautiful outdoor space. The 3-to-3 bathroom to bedroom ratio was ideal. Each bedroom was beautiful and large. The location is great as well--very secluded and private but only an 8 minute drive from the Sonoma town square. Would absolutely stay here again, 10/10!

Great house in a beautiful location. Fantastic views. Very comfortable for the 6 adults in our party. Well stocked. About 10-15 minute walk to the beach. Only caution would be to anyone with a mobility issue, lots of stairs in the house. We will definitely come back!

We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described. The location was convenient, and the host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again-highly commend!

We had a wonderful stay. Eugene and Natalia were very helpful and always responsive. The place is beautiful, with a fun mid-century modern vibe, and the neighborhood is tucked into a beautiful valley and is particularly beautiful in spring. Everything is just as described and as seen in the photos. Very comfortable bed! I highly recommend it.

Such a cute place! Right in walking distance of beach, food, coffee, and even a little park right near the beach if you bring little ones! I met the owners and they were so sweet and friendly and truly wanted to know if I enjoyed the space. The interior was beautiful and bright! I would highly recommend this spot!

Chris’s place was an unforgettable experience! The location is absolutely amazing, with stunning views all around. We loved kayaking in the bay and were lucky enough to paddle alongside a couple of seals—such a fun and unique experience. Mornings were peaceful and magical, watching herons just outside the boat. Living on a boat was an adventure in itself and made our trip extra special. Plus, the location couldn’t be better—close to both Muir Woods and Golden Gate Park, making day trips super easy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something a little different and truly memorable!

great location. Beautiful neighborhood. Nice host. Private, quite and relaxing. Had a great night sleep. Id stay again.

This studio was beautiful and pristine with a large bathroom! The most well-stocked rental we have stayed at. :) Perfect for me and my dog. We enjoyed the local surroundings and path (Lynch Creek Trail) behind the neighborhood. Plus we were only 30+ min from the coast (a beautiful drive also). Definitely recommend.

Great location. Easy walk to Whole Foods, Safeway and several restaurants and coffee shops. Close to Muir Woods, and Tamalpais State Park and easy drive to San Francisco. Multiple hikes are close by. The place is clean and comfortable. I would recommend Dawn’s place for a couple or individual, it would be tight for any more.

We had a great time in Sonoma! Eileen's place was cozy and clean and afforded us close proximity to town while giving us peaceful surroundings to unwind at the end of the day.

I stayed here for a month and it was great, I highly recommend! As described and seen in the pictures. Annie was helpful and ensured I had everything I needed. I think this apartment is perfect for 1-2 people with a child or small/medium-sized pet. Clean and cozy with nice, warm lighting. The bed was comfy, kitchen was small but well-equipped, living room was roomy with a medium-sized couch, and bathroom more than sufficient. I loved relaxing on the deck as well! The neighborhood is hilly and beautiful, close to bus/ferry/restaurants/stores. Touristy downtown, but not as much in the immediate vicinity. I walked A LOT with my dog and enjoyed it, but the hills can be steep! Definitely a very safe area. The only “con” is, in my opinion, it’s just a bit expensive for the size. However, I understand it’s in a pretty wealthy neighborhood and am sure Airbnb fees/taxes account for a decent part of the cost. Suffice to say, this is a once-in-a-long-while stay for me. Hopefully that’s fair.

Great communication - amazing house!!! We had such a great time. Awesome to work with and so helpful and could not have been better. We’ll definitely be back.

This place is lovely - a family home - pool - gardens. The on-site host Rue - an aspiring actress - is very sweet - and believable - hope you got the part!

Once you open the door, you are transplanted into a space where a breath is taken and a breath is held. If you are seeking a calmness, this home is the one. Pride of ownership is evident in the furnishings, personal touches and in the whole home itself. Didn’t want our stay to end.

My friends and I stayed at Seaon’s home for about a week and we felt right at home. It was a cozy spot with a beautiful outdoor porch and garden to hang out in. There was enough beds for four adults and a baby. Seaon was very easy to communicate with and also responsive when we discussed anything regarding the house. The neighborhood was fairly quiet during our stay which is always nice. We drove to Oakland, San Francisco, and parts of wine country from the house and found it to be in a good central location. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your group.

Beautiful home and was wonderful for our family get a way. The home was clean and had everything you need for comfort!

Had an amazing stay at Gina’s house for a girls retreat weekend. The house is amazing with really good vibes! Kitchen was fantastic for cooking group meals and overall could not have asked for a better place!

Exceptional hilltop home! Highly recommend. Full wall of windows offers stunning views, and living room and kitchen are flooded with natural light. Immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed throughout. Entire home has a designer touch. Well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, furniture and beds very comfortable. We enjoyed exploring the fragrant, well-maintained spring garden, with numerous blooming daffodils and hyacinths. Walking paths throughout. Geraldine was responsive and helpful, providing great recommendations for local hikes and restaurants that proved spot-on. Geraldine has clearly put careful thought into creating a comfortable, peaceful retreat. Perfect for anyone seeking a quiet getaway in a beautiful setting

Excellent place to stay! Great location. Quiet. 5 min drive to Sonoma Square. There are a lot of great wineries in the area. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. Great kitchen. It was not only stocked with all the kitchenware you will need, but it had high quality kitchenware, too. Beds were very comfortable. Check-in was easy and host was easy to communicate with. I’m will stay here again! Highly recommended!
