Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Spectacular views over Muir Woods and the Pacific Ocean from this ridgetop home; and just 20 minutes to San Francisco and 5 minutes to the upscale and beautiful town of Mill Valley in Marin County, California.
Includes WIFI internet access, cable TV as well as hundreds of DVD and and CDs, decks, garden, etc. Experienced and very responsible exchangers.
We have had over 55 great exchanges now and have visited multiple countries as close as Canada and as far away as New Zealand. Our experiences have been uniformly positive and we can provide you with written references from several of our previous exchangers.
We offer a quiet, dramatic, park-like setting that's 5 minutes from downtown Mill Valley yet easily commutable to San Francisco and Berkeley. Our home is also within 1 hour's drive to Napa & Sonoma Valleys & just 20 mins to beautiful Stinson Beach. There are hiking trails on Mt. Tamalpais across the street & we look directly down on Muir woods.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Ours is an ideal location for exploring San Francisco (a short trip across the Golden Gate Bridge) yet has the extraordinary beauty of Marin County with the mountains, seaside and upscale towns all within minutes of the house. Plus, we're surrounded by hiking trails literally right outside our door: the Muir Woods National Monument, Mount Tamalpais State Park and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. And the wine country and East Bay cities of Berkeley and Oakland are within a 45 minute drive. Stinson Beach (the Bay Area's pre-eminent beach) is just 18 minutes away; and Muir Beach even closer. We are less than a 30 minutes drive to San Francisco; or you can take a bus or ferry.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
We love going into San Francisco early in the morning -- beating the tourists to on-street parking -- and hiking the many fascinating neighborhoods there. And we love doing the same thing in Berkeley and the many Marin County towns and cities, like Tiburon, Belvedere, Larkspur, San Anselmo, Fairfax and San Rafael. Then -- in the opposite direction -- is the beach and the communities of Stinson Beach, Bolinas, and Pt. Reyes Station. And inland it's easy to visit Napa and Sonoma and the innumerable wineries and towns of Napa, Sonoma, St. Helena, etc.
