Quotes from our great renter's: 'Thank you for providing us with this beautiful sanctuary in the woods. This was the best vacation rental we've stayed in and we hope to be back soon.'

'We owe you, thanks for 'tuning us in' to such an amazing part of the Bay Area!'

'Your house is truly a sanctuary, we fell in love with it as soon as we walked in the door.'

''We found the house amazing, each window in the house gives you a different view and perspective of the surrounding nature.'

'Thank you for letting us into your slice of paradise. Everything was wonderful from the decor and location to the smallest of details. Did I mention my wife wanted to move in?'

'You really have a gift for making people feel at home. We are already talking of coming here again.'

Our 1500 sq ft. house is loft-style, built on a large rock with views of the Marin Mountains. Take pleasure in relaxing nights as you hear the crickets chirp and the rushing of the creek during the rainy months. Our house is a beautiful, tranquil place to unwind and enjoy everything that nature has to offer. On any given day, deer can be seen as close as 10 ft. from the outside deck.

Our house is nestled in the quaint town of Fairfax, CA which was just voted in 2011 as the ' Best Town in Marin' by the Pacific Sun.It is a quiet haven untouched by strip malls and corporate chains, yet it is close enough to the hustle and bustle of cities like San Francisco and Berkeley. A short distance a way are Mill Valley, Sausalito, Muir Woods, Mt. Tamalpais, Point Reyes, Stinson Beach & Napa.

Take advantage of picnicking in Deer Park, hiking/driving to the many lakes located near the house, strolling through the town of Fairfax, antique shopping in San Anselmo and exploring the other great cities, beaches & activities nearby. A few nights in Fairfax and you just may decide to stay!

We are walking distance to Deer Park Villa

Great house in the peaceful wooded hills of Fairfax.

Misty and Brandy were so helpful when we were booking last minute, really went out of their way to offer advice, and made our plans so much easier to sort out. The house was in a really quiet spot among the trees about 5 minutes from Fairfax town. Comfortable and well equipped for our group of 3, we loved sitting on the balcony out front and slept so well. Lots of wildlife, birds, squirrels, deer everywhere, and warm weather to come back to after being in the fog of San Francisco! Great base for travelling around and loved Fairfax and it’s many little restaurants. Went to the movies, groceries easy from the amazing Good Earth supermarket, and found the vibe friendly and laid back. Will definitely return if we ever come back this way.

Love staying at this "quiet haven"

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here - it is perfect for us. Walking distance to hiking trails and to the town of Fairfax. Short drive to other Marin locations. Very quiet and relatively secluded. Large enough for everyone in our family of 4 to have their own space. Kitchen had all the items we needed. Hosts are great!

A WONDERFUL GETAWAY

The house was well equipped and very homey, with comfortable beds and soft towels. And the shower was like a spa! Fairfax is a quaint town with good food and the neighborhoods were lovely. Misty, the owner, was very easy to reach and pleasant to work with. We had a great time and would do it again! Merilee

great stay

fantastic relaxing week spent there with my family, plenty of spaces, beautiful rooms nicely decorated. only (minor) issue was the lack of mobile network in the area, but wasn't a big deal as Wi-Fi worked very well.

About the host

Hosted by Misty

We are sisters who love to travel and also enjoy vacationing at our home in Fairfax. The lifetime of memories that have been created at this house are special to the both of us. We hope others can come to Fairfax to enjoy this little slice of heaven and create new memories of their own.

What makes this property unique

The house itself has a retreat feel and is very unique in style with an A-frame and loft. The house is built on a solid rock with views of the Fairfax valley. One can sit out on the decks and enjoy all the surrounding nature, sounds, and wild animals. The stars at night are also beautiful.
