The property is gated with off-street parking. This unique guest house offers one bedroom with a queen bed, and a full size sofa bed in the living room. Windows in every room look out into the oaks, where you can see deer, squirrels, and occasional rabbits. The cottage was built with the finest materials, including slate roof with copper gutters, bamboo and slate floors, granite counter tops, tumbled marble shower, and maple cabinets. A deck with glass railing encircles the entire house. There is a full kitchen with refrigerator, gas cook top, True convection oven, and dishwasher. Wireless high speed Internet and cable are included. The Bay View Cottage is just 2 miles from charming downtown San Rafael, and about the same distance to mountain biking, hiking, and picnicking at China Camp State Park. Don't feel like cooking? The neighborhood grocery store is about a 10 minute walk from the cottage, and their deli offers an extensive selection of salads, sandwiches and pizzas, as well as complete gourmet meals. The wine selection is incredible. PLEASE NOTE: Guests have use of the hot tub, which is on the deck of the main house. You may use it most any time; just give us advance notice. We will close the blinds on that side of the house and you will have a sense of privacy and a view of the SF Bay. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - On the bay ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Electric car charging station - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 510 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26780000/26770600/26770506/80aa5901.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Marin Edwardian Mansion overlooking San Francisco Bay California Park - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.2 Wonderful 56 reviews CA $124 CA $307 total includes taxes & fees Jan 23 - Jan 24 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=26770506&PinnedHotelID=26770506&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30120000/30116500/30116401/6815f24c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely, Large 1 Br Apt in Sunny Central Marin!

I especially loved the quiet and secluded location of the cottage. The interiors are thoughtfully appointed and designed, providing a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. All the amenities I needed were available, including an ironing board, iron, fridge, and toaster. It was delightful to sit on the deck and relax in the sun. Even small details such as bathroom towels and bathroom tissue were of premium quality! I had a bit of trouble finding the correct driveway at night, but you can locate the house number on the mailbox just before the driveway. It's clear that the rental is managed with care and love, ensuring a wonderful experience for all fortunate guests! ##### Rob K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M. Aug 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Treehouse Treat The San Rafael treehouse is a wonderful dome house located in a beautiful, secluded section of San Rafael. It has an very nice view of San Francisco Bay from a circular deck with a glass railing which helps to provide a better view. The house is very modern and clean and includes pretty much every amenity you need for 1 - 4 people. My family (my wife and two children) slept comfortably in the house and didn't need much outdoor space other than the deck because we were so close to a lot of attractions which kept us busy all day, such as the San Francisco city area and Muir Woods. The city is easily accessible from the Larkspur ferry. We also enjoyed meeting the owners who were very gracious and hospitable but didn't "drop in" or check in with us all the time which gave us much appreciated privacy. Joe's suggestion to take the ferry also proved a real winner! Overall, great experience. ##### David M. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd P. Jun 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Respite, to reconnect Came to town to support my son in a sporting event with my Dad. The place was excellent! First, if you’re a nature lover (especially from other regions of the country), just wow! The place is nestled amongst the trees which create a dense canopy above, with some views of the boats on the bay. Got the chance to trail run at the nearby China Camp State Park and loved it. Second, the house’s construction is downright fascinating; always something to look at and ponder on what a labor of love it was to build. Loved that half of the house was surrounded with windows from floor to ceiling, which made enjoying the outdoors and views so accessible. The house was outfitted with everything we needed to enjoy living there and was appointed very well. Finally, enjoyed our short visits with our gracious host, Joe, who was willing to share some of his story, including the houses construction journey, which was substantial. Thanks to Joe and family for helping us create such a wonderful experience! Highly recommend the Garden Cafe and Miracle Mile Cafe in San Rafael for breakfast too! Overall, gave my Dad and I a chance to reconnect, living half way across the country from each other; the memory will live forever! ##### Todd P.
