Modern Mill Valley Retreat - Courtyard, Spa, Team Getaways Near Everything

Our newly constructed modern home is filled with natural light and designed for indoor outdoor living. Floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors open the home to the courtyard and surrounding landscape, creating comfortable gathering spaces inside and out.

The Courtyard House works well for family trips, group getaways, and small team retreats. With multiple areas to gather and relax, the home gives groups space to spend time together while still having room to spread out.

The location makes it easy to explore Marin County while staying close to San Francisco. Hiking, biking, kayaking, and beaches are all nearby.

Driving times
10 minutes to hiking, biking, and outdoor recreation
25 minutes to Muir Woods
30 minutes to Stinson Beach
40 minutes to wine country
10 minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge
2 minutes to Whole Foods and nearby restaurants

Bring family, friends, or colleagues and enjoy a comfortable place to spend time together while exploring the North Bay.

THE SPACE:

The Courtyard House recently received the Platinum Award for Single Family Production from the National Association of Home Builders.

Judge comments included:
“This home is phenomenally executed. It packed so much in under 2,000 square feet that it blows our mind. It’s richly detailed, and the texture and visual interest on the exterior feel very intentional. It features a lot of great indoor outdoor connections, and the way the kitchen is pulled out is hard to do with a floor plan and not have it feel awkward.”

Inside the home you will find bright open living areas, large windows, and a layout that makes it easy for groups to spend time together.

The design also works well for small retreats or workshops. Many groups use the main living area and courtyard for conversations, planning sessions, or relaxed gatherings.

Features guests appreciate
Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors and natural light
Open indoor outdoor layout
Spacious gathering areas
Fast WiFi for remote work or meetings
Quiet surroundings while still being close to town

Groups often spend mornings together in the house, then head out to explore nearby trails, beaches, or restaurants before returning in the evening.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including a hot tub and a fitness center.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

The home was immaculate! Our two families consisted of teenagers and a grandparent all loved the place. The home was very clean and comfortable and large enough to provide space if you needed it. Our stay happen to be during a storm but we all didn't mind staying indoors at the home :) We played games, and enjoyed the fireplace and the home to its fullest. It made for a wonderful Holiday getaway. We cannot recommend this home enough! You will love it!

Everything was beautiful and perfect to drop in and immediately feel at home. The space is truly gorgeous, the landscaping is beautiful, the area is convenient. We were very close to trails for hiking/running, but also close enough for easy access to the highway. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use with everything labeled.

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous home for a quick weekend retreat. There were 6 of us and the space was perfect for us to spread out among the well-appointed bedrooms, while also having lots of common spaces to hang out. Wende and Thomas are incredible hosts, highly communicative and eager to make sure all our needs were met. Upon arrival, there were baked goods awaiting us in the kitchen. YouTube videos showing us how to operate and find everything were excellent. At one point, Thomas came over to switch out the propane tank for the fire pit. The house is even more spectacular in person than in the photos. We were in the lap of luxury while also minutes from restaurants, grocery stores, and highway 101. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate. You’ll have a beautiful and memorable time!

What a wonderful home. Wende was so welcoming, responsive, and ensured our stay was comfortable. The home is very conveniently located and was a great hub for our Bay Area stay. Just off Hwy 101, yet you feel as though you are in your own private oasis while on the property. Very well appointed, plenty of room for our group of 8 to have our own space while at the same time having several areas to gather. Our favorite feature was the floor to ceiling sliding doors which gave the space an open air feel and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful weather. The kitchen had everything we needed to have a fun bbq and the muffins and croissants upon arrival were a nice touch. The laundry room has two washers and two dryers that kept up with our group of 8 easily. Bathrobes, slippers, cozy blankets, beach towels, and accessories like hairbands, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, etc. made it unnecessary to go to the store for anything!The in home gym and hot tub were also fun perks.It really was home away from home, but also luxurious.We will definitely stay here again on our next trip back to the Bay Area. Thank you Wende!
Fun outdoor bbq!

Wende’s house was a perfect spot for our small team of 6 to bond and plan for the year ahead. It’s rare that a listing exceeds expectations set by professional photography and descriptions. Wende’s house is one of those. I’d love to come back for future personal or work stays.

Spacious Retreat in Mill Valley/Napa

Our stay was fantastic! The property is incredibly large and spacious, providing more than enough room for our group to spread out and feel comfortable. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome gift of croissants and muffins, and thoughtful touches like slippers for all guests at the front door. The home itself was clean and polished, making us feel right at home. I did have a concern and an issue on our last night, but Wende was impressively prompt in resolving everything, which we greatly appreciated. One minor area for improvement: when booking the property in advance, I reached out through the booking platform to inform the owner about our group and ask for local chef recommendations. Unfortunately, I never received a response to my initial inquiry, which would have been helpful. However, the on-property management during our stay was excellent as stated prior. The location was perfect for our weekend getaway to Napa, offering both convenience and a peaceful retreat after our daily excursions. Our group, with friends from the UK, Japan, Tennessee, and California, thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property. One of our friends did suggest adding a television in each bedroom, as they were feeling under the weather and would have preferred to relax in their room rather than convene in the main living space. Overall, our experience was excellent, and we would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed, and conveniently located home.

Paradise away from Home

Wende's home was an exceptional retreat for us while we did a remodel on our home in Marin. The convenience of the location was the best, and we felt as if we had been swept away to a destination thousands of miles away. Only regret was not utilizing the indoor as much as the outdoor. With a beautiful summer season we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful living rooms which are not to be missed again. I guess we will need to come back in the winter! Thank you for building an exceptional property where clearly no detail was spared!

A beautiful home in a great location

My extended family and I had a marvelous stay at this immaculate, private, and superbly maintained home. Bedrooms are of good size and well separated for privacy. The kitchen is magnificent and very well stocked with dishes, appliances, and even some staples. Large sliding glass windows can be opened to expand indoor living to the picturesque back yard. A fire pit, built-in grill, outdoor table with large canopy, hot tub, artificial turf yard, outdoor shower, and cornhole game equipment encourage outdoor leisure. The location is superb and the area is more compact than I imagined. We had easy access via car or Uber/Lyft to Sausalito, Mill Valley, and other nearby towns. Grocery stores and other retail are nearby. The Muir Woods is a short drive away and a must-see. Other highlights were the ferry ride from Sausalito to Fisherman's Wharf in SF and a drive north on Highway 1 to Stinson Beach and to Tomales Bay for oysters. We even saw whales breaching off the beach! The whole area is spectacularly beautiful. The very best thing about this house is the owners. Their care and attention to detail were obvious to me from the first minute inside. As an example, we had a smoke alarm start chirping due to a dead battery early on Saturday morning. We had no way to change it so I texted Wende. She had a maintenance crew there within the hour to replace it. Our other correspondence. was quick and very helpful. I highly recommend this house.
