Road cycling

This historic hotel with a long history, was built in 1912 by a Swiss-German immigrant couple who were homesick for their native Alps. It is perched on the ridge between the Mount Tamalpais peaks, high above Mill Valley, and boasts excellent views of Marin. It is a favorite spot to stay as a mountain getaway for outdoor enthusiasts in the Bay area, so much so that even celebrities like Goldie Hawn, the Grateful Dead and Jack London have stayed here.

Hiking

Now open for more than a hundred years, this inn welcomes visitors high on the flanks of Mount Tamalpais. The guestrooms mostly face east, but the grounds include great vantages to the west over the Bay. There's also a restaurant, and this has been voted one of the most romantic spots in the Bay Area several times over.
