Unique in the world: Bay Area hotel on a mountain

About Us
The intimate warmth of a rustic mountain inn...In a spectacular setting of mountain scenery, towering redwood forests and famous ocean beaches.

The Mountain Home Inn, an eagle's nest set amoungst the rolling slopes of Mt. Tamalpais overlooking the quaint village of Mill Valley 1000 feet below and at your feet, the continuous ever-changing scenery of the San Francisco Bay... All this, yet the inn's only a 25 minute scenic drive from the Golden Gate Bridge...

Truly a world away from everyday cares.





History
At the turn of the last century, a trip to Tamalpais was the No. 1 getaway for San Franciscans.

Before the Golden Gate Bridge was built, the mountain visitors made their way to Marin by way of ferries. These boats ran day and night, 60 times a day. Read More

Reading Surprise
While enjoying Laura Fraser's An Italian Affair—the book Condé Nast Traveller calls "both a grand travelogue and a thoughtful look at reclaiming independence" and the London Times said was "A deliciously romantic story, made even more captivating by the idea that someone actually experienced it"—we discovered the narrator took her lover on a truly romantic getaway to...our inn.



Sustainability
We proudly support our local artisans and small independent farmers in order to encourage healthy farming and environmental practices and keep our rural communities alive.

We pride ourselves in providing a healthy environment to our guests.
Our cleaning supplies and toiletries are eco-friendly.

We try and make as little impact on the environment as possible; our landscape and gardens are pesticide-free.

We recycle our bedding, sheets, blankets and towels to the homeless and others in need.

The inn was the first Marin hotel to been designated a Bay Area Green Business.





Architect
The architect, John Deamer, was a conceptual planner for Sea Ranch, one of the most advanced environmentally-sensitive architectural designs of its time. John studied under Paolo Solveri, a proponent of human-being-influenced architecture. Paolo was an early student of Frank Lloyd Wright.
