Summary: The property is gorgeous; it's just a long way up the mountain! This is my bad, especially as I lived in Mill Valley for many years and should have known better. If you can drive up there and stay, relax, and hike, this is a dream location! Unfortunately, we had three kids staying in town at various places to corral, and family and friends to see, so we weren't able to really lean in and enjoy this very special place. PS I only gave the pool a 3 because we didn't see it and the site made me give it a number; I'm sure it was great. The hosts were lovely and gracious, and the cottage charming and comfortable.
