Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Tamalpais-Homestead Valley

A great getaway from the everyday! Peaceful and quiet. The arcade was great. A few of the games didn't work but it didn't deter us from having a good time! Our daughter said it was "EPIC"!

The privacy, home design, and layout of the property were exceptional. A rainy weekend by any fireplace is special, here it was spectacular. Kitchen was clean and well-stocked. Adrian has beautifully appointed the interior. My stay was intentionally quiet and cozy but the style of the house had me wishing I was entertaining many friends. Frank Lloyd Wright would be proud.

Previous reviews mentioned train noise but the house was well insulated so it was very muted. Blackout blinds and double-glazed windows did their job. The Folgers coffee set up was excellent and they left creamers. Beds were new and clean. Seating was limited, but we are a couple. Everything worked, especially the heater, since it was cold. We will stay again when we visit family nearby.

Kit was a great host and the home is in great shape!

We chose this cottage for our former college roommates' 3-day getaway. It was exactly what we needed. Beautiful views, a hot tub, comfortable beds, and great amenities. Bright, cheerful, clean, and the wallpaper was fun. Lovely view off the back deck. David had many recommendations for food and things to do. The road up to the place was tight, especially in an SUV so we chose to venture out only in daylight. Check-in and check-out were easy. We loved our stay!

This place is a gem! It feels like you are in a tree house with almost 360 views. I stayed here during my wedding and it was amazing. It made my wedding that much more special. The house is a bit older but nothing that took away from the beauty of this home.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was peaceful and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with beautiful views. One of the biggest highlights was how welcoming they were to our pups. It made our stay even more enjoyable. Communication was excellent; they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at Veronica's exceeded all expectations. The location was perfect—everything we wanted to see was just a short 10–15 minute drive away. The home itself was spotless, spacious, and looked exactly like the photos. Veronica was an exceptional host, always quick to respond and incredibly kind throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

An excellent address. The serene garden retreat is very cosy and comfortable extremely well situated. The owner is very nice and responsive. I recommend it highly

We had a lovely stay and glad to have booked this place for our first time in San Francisco. Place was clean with a good collection of books, location was beautiful, and really appreciate the tap for filtered drinking water.

Great location, just north of downtown. Great price. Very private. We enjoyed our stay.

Everything as described. Well-stocked kitchen, perfectly capable of cooking meals. Lots of space. ~15 min walk to Berkeley Bowl, which is a great place to pick up groceries. Some reviews mention hearing footsteps overhead; there is an apartment overhead, and the sound is about as loud as you would expect for living in a lower-level apartment. Joe is very quick to respond to questions, which reduces any issues that might come up. I had some problem with the WiFi, and Joe replied quickly to help me troubleshoot the issue. Overall a smooth experience.

Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

Jonathan's place was truly like home. We particularly appreciated the full kitchen, well-equipped, which enabled us to cook several meals rather than always eating out (although the neighborhood has many interesting ethnic restaurants). The beds were comfy -- both had reading lights -- and screens in both bedrooms and the living room.

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.

Couldn’t recommend more! The house is split up between 3 private properties or stays, our group rented out all 3 properties and it was perfect! The decor is gorgeous, the beds were sooo comfortable and the location was perfect. Would 1000% stay again!

Could not have been a more perfect place for a girls weekend in Napa! House was extremely clean. Easy to communicate with the host. Would definitely stay again!

Great place for a multi-generational gathering. There were many spaces to gather and the home is large enough to peel off for some quiet time. The outdoor spaces are lovely and private and the pool makes for a beautiful setting. The kitchen has plenty of glassware, dinnerware and flatware which makes feeding a crowd for several meals a day very do-able. Spring lake park is accessible by a path just up the road and the trail around the lake makes for a lovely walk/run. Folks enjoyed "practicing" their fishing techniques but didn't get a nibble. Proximity to Rossmoor community made this a very pleasant getaway with very little travel for our older parents.

Airy artsy cabin in woods, perfect locale for a ladies weekend. Large windows make it feel like your one with the outside world. Close to all the beauty and cuteness that the Russian river valley has to offer.

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!

Great cozy space and close to a lot of amenities and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hosts were very prompt with communication and accommodating to our requests

Can't wait to go back, even though we live in the same town! We had to find a place quickly because we had some damage at our home and Laurie and Bradley were so accommodating and flexible. The property is gorgeous! And I can't say enough about the showers. Every piece of furniture was so comfortable, including the beds (and I am very picky when it comes to beds). The view was spectacular. Besides the incredible amenities, Laurie and Bradley were such incredible hosts and were very easy to reach and super responsive to the many requests we had to extend our stay. I highly recommend their house.

Our group had the best time staying here. It had everything we needed and the surroundings were so peaceful. It was exactly what we hoped for out of a weekend getaway in Sonoma. Janelle was also very responsive when we had questions. We hope to stay here again in future!

First and foremost, HUGE shout out to both David & Jennifer for being amazing hosts. They were both communicative and friendly and made us feel like honored guests. Second, the location is STUNNING. Especially in the spring I'm sure, but everything was green, flowers were blooming, cows mooing (but not too much!) and I literally had a tear rolling down my cheek when we first walked into the house.. Third, the house felt like HOME. Every detail and nook and cranny seemed intentionally laid out and designed. It felt like we were in a movie. Everything was functional and beautiful, and you just can't ask for more than that. We went up with 2 kids under 10 and an infant and they never wanted to leave the house! The game room felt like a roll back to my childhood and the nostalgia was hitting me hard as we all watched Lion King on VHS! Pool table, amazing piano, expansive backyard and surroundings kept them entertained the whole trip. We cannot wait to be back next year. Cheers!
