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.

My adult siblings and I are originally from the area, and needed to visit a local loved one at a challenging time. Maggie’s home was just perfect: beautiful, spacious, gracious and easy to access — and so peaceful and quiet, perfect for our needs. A real sanctuary. We stocked up on groceries from local luxurious organic market the Good Earth and cooked and ate all of our meals in the peaceful, beautiful, calm environment. (Kitchen had good pots and pans, too!) Really ideal.

Keren and Benjamin are ultimate hosts. They are helpful, friendly, gave detailed recommendations, responsive and beyond accommodating. I had never been to the area before and they gave detailed, curated recommendations for our group. It is no wonder they express such a reverence for the area because their home, the surrounding outdoors and the beauty as a whole was magical and tremendous. Thank you Keren and Benjamin!

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.

Zen House was a fantastic place to stay, a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. Great spaces inside and out. The beds were super-comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped. The location is also a plus, situated just a short drive into the centre of Sonoma. Thx Greg for being a great host!

Very clean, open space, well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. Quiet neighborhood, close to the beach.

Wonderful place to stay. Great hiking right out the door and delicious restaurants very close! Natalie and Eugene made everything very easy and the place was spotless. Hope we’ll come back some day!

Clean, comfy apartment and the perfect location for a weekend spent on nearby trails and at the beach! I would definitely book with Phillip and Nitza again.

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.

We had a fantastic stay in Petaluma thanks to our amazing hosts, Monica and John! They were incredibly accommodating and thoughtful—going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, including providing a portable crib which was such a huge help for our family. The Airbnb was even bigger than we expected, spotlessly clean, and in the perfect location—close to everything yet peaceful and private. We felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. Without a doubt, we’ll be staying here every time we visit Petaluma. Highly recommend Monica and John’s place!

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.

Our plans to stay with family in Sausalito were unexpectedly changed, we were so fortunate to find the gem that is Jane and Joel's cottage. The setting of the cottage nestled in a beautiful garden surrounded by redwoods and just a short walk to town is perfect. There are so many extra special touches, beautifully decorated, stocked frig with wine & cheese, coffee and a Nespresso and a milk frother, fresh flowers, warm radiant bathroom floor, excellent internet and TV to watch the Olympics after a day of hiking were some of our highlights! We really appreciated your hospitality and enjoyed our stay. We hope to back on future trips to CA!

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!

Amazing place? Great heated pool, love the house has a lot of stuff and very well appointed and decorated. It has the best palm trees very safe, Our kid loved swimming in the pool. Strongly recommend for any stay! This is our second time here and will come again for sure. Love how the rooms are laid out, bathrooms.

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

We had a great time here for my sister’s bachelorette weekend! The house was spacious, with an even more spacious outdoor space. They offered early check in so we were able to decorate and set everything up ahead of time. The host even left a nice card and some champagne for us! Would stay here again for sure!
