We can't wait to host your beautiful memories and moments in our photo-worthy outdoor space, inspired by Palm Springs modernism, Italian materials, and calming, warm, and relaxed getaways. 1950S RANCH HOUSE We just completed a total overhaul of our 2000-square-foot backyard with the design headline, Palm Springs in Mill Valley. The mid-century modern-meets-desert charm of our 1950s ranch house's vast outdoor space has been updated to create a modular canvas for your small celebratory events, intimate weddings, micro weddings, outdoor events, and friend gatherings. There are a range of functional and photo-worthy corners. Nighttime is as impressive with ambient lighting and the expansive night sky. The backyard is the primary rental space. The indoor space is a small light-filled 2 bedroom, 1 bath tiny home with contemporary fine art and home goods. The gallery-like space is a beautiful backdrop as an adjacent space, mostly for use of the bathroom and kitchen as a prep area. This is the most beautiful space we have created to date. It takes people’s breath away the first time they see it–they say they feel transported. NEIGHBORHOOD We are easily accessible to the 101 freeway, Downtown Mill Valley, Sausalito, San Francisco, the North Bay, and East Bay. This is a quiet, safe residential neighborhood bordered by the largest horse preserve in Marin County. The herd of horses grazing peacefully on Horse Hill is a beloved Mill Valley landmark.
