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"!

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!

Susan and Dave were gracious hosts. They greeted us warmly upon our arrival, helping us to feel at home. Susan has thoughtfully attended to every detail, there is nothing we were in need of during our stay. Their hospitality extended to a continental breakfast to get our day started. The sitting area at the river's bank is so serene. We enjoyed napping in the hammock and reading a book after a day of running up and down the coast. We are very picky about mattresses, and found the bed very comfortable. We left a couple of items behind, which Susan and Dave were very kind to mail to us. Thank you Susan and Dave for adding to what was a spectacular vacation.

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.

I had an amazing experience staying here! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making check-in super easy. The dogs can get a bit loud upstairs but the place felt like a home.The neighborhood was walkable with many stores a few blocks away. Great spots to eat and close to the BART. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

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.

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!

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!

My two adult daughters and myself had a quick overnight stay in San Jose and this place was perfect! Clean! Comfy beds! Plenty of room! We stayed in the third floor suite which had a kitchen and a sweet little reading nook. We will definitely book again when heading through San Jose!

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!
