Property Description
Blue Sky Cottage is one-of-a-kind. It is a lovely, serene cottage on a magical property in an incredible location. The cottage is large at 800 SF, and is freshly renovated head-to-toe. It has a new kitchen, large new bath and much more. Appliances, fixtures, linens, furnishings, cookware etc. are all top quality. The great room, with peaked ceilings, windows all around and skylights, is airy and filled with light. It is serene with soft blue walls and yummy colors, and opens onto a large deck. It has Roku TV with hundreds of channels for streaming, plus books and games. The cottage has its own dedicated network, and Wi-Fi speed is lightning-fast, 782 Mbps, sufficient for high-quality streaming on many devices at once. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware and dishes and has everything you need to cook wonderful meals. Morning coffee is covered with a full coffee station, with Keurig, French press, electric kettle and all the fixings. A mini-split heating and AC system ensure your year-round comfort. The bathroom is newly renovated and just gorgeous, with a double-vanity and a tub enclosure lined with deep blue tile. The bedroom boasts a beautiful queen-sized solid acacia bed with premium Sealy Posturepedic mattress. It has large windows and lovely light, with shades. There is a very comfortable American Leather queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Linens and pillows are good quality throughout. We take sleep quality seriously here! Designed by the owner, an artist, the cottage sings with color - from the sky blue exterior to the sunshine yellow front door to the lively kitchen tiles. Overall the cottage is fresh, chic, peaceful with a cheerful vibe.
What makes this cottage special is not just the cottage itself, but the setting. The cottage is nestled in a very private 2-acre gated property filled with gardens, woodlands and redwood groves - a magical oasis! Most guests are quite astonished when they arrive at this property. The property features an historic Victorian main house (where the hosts live) and two rental cottages, grouped around a common lawn and gardens. The lawn is available for all to use - perfect for picnics, little ones or play with your puppy. Behind the house and cottages are wild woodlands, and wildlife spottings are common: red-tailed hawks, owls, foxes, raccoons, hummingbirds, deer, the occasional coyote all make the rounds here.
The property is in a prime location, central to everything - the perfect base for exploring the Bay Area. It is in sunny Central Marin, clear of the fog belts of Mill Valley or Sausalito. San Francisco is 30 min to the south, wine country is 45 min to the north, and all of beautiful Marin surrounds you. Marin is world-famous for it's abundance of hiking, mountain biking and other outdoorsy fun, not to mention great food and shops. The property has multiple great hikes and bike paths nearby and is easy walking distance to brunch, dinner or deli in sweet downtown Kentfield.
The owners live on the property, in the main house, and are usually available to help with anything you need.

Quaint cottage
Really enjoyed our stay. Quaint cottage, close to San Francisco and nearby hikes. Too bad it rained but there were games and puzzles at the cottage.

Great place/location
The property is quite large, and there are three separate structures. This guest house is just to the right when you enter the property and it’s lovely. It was clean and comfortable. The only issue was a drip in the bathroom ceiling. It was raining the entire time we were there. But the bed was comfortable, the hosts were responsive, and it was perfect for what we needed, which was to be close to the College of Marin.

Quiet get away
Very cool property, felt safe, nice gardens, tree house vibe from bedroom! Back deck was private and great place for coffee. Easy access to whole Bay Area. Bathroom needs a bit more love for an old quaint cottage. Overall very pleasant experience!

Good stay.
Pretty clean. My wife gave it a "B" Pretty good property but it needs a little work here and there. Living room, kitchen and bedroom were good. The bathroom needs a little work. The shower was not the best. Linens provided were of top-notch quality. Holes in the walls need patching and painting. Overall it served our needs and we really have no major complaints. Would I rent again? Probably but the thing holding me back from saying yes is that there is waaaay too much traffic in the area. Sir Francis Drake Blvd. is ridiculous. US 101 was almost as bad as I-405 in LA.

Such a wonderful stay. We were happy with the rental. I definitely look forward to booking here in my future visits to my Son who lives in San Rafael.
Kitchen is well equipped.
Thank you for your pet friendly lovely home.

Sweet Cottage
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful hideaway. It was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the easy access and close to a fabulous grocery store yet tucked away from the hussle and bustle nearby.
Great access to easy walking trails and great restaurants.
