Location: Bolinas, San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA (45 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge)

Accommodations:  Home, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 7)

The property is unique in that it is totally private. It is on 14 acres which includes woods and pastures with horses. There is ample room to explore right on the grounds. We have also built a playhouse in the woods where children can play creatively and independently---inspired by the recent book The Last Child in the Woods. This book documents the need for intimate connection to nature and to independent fantasy play for children. The playhouse is surrounded by trails leading to an open meadow of five acres. There is also a drawbridge!

The home is well used, comfortable and ideal for families with children. There is also a coop with chickens, ducks and Doc, the rabbit. Young kids can access the coop to collect eggs with parental supervision. Most children spend hours in the chicken coop. There are views of surrounding hills and the Bolinas Lagoon and access to nearby trails in open space and parkland. It is one mile from the Audubon Canyon Ranch where one can watch seals and all kinds of bird life on Bolinas Lagoon; less than two miles from the town of Bolinas and beaches, and 10 miles from Point Reyes Park HQ with its extensive trails, beaches and wildlife.

  • This is a spectacular and peaceful place. I took my team of five there for a company offsite and it fit the bill in every way. The owners are wonderful also. Highly recommended!

  • I would like to thank Linda for her warm hearted graciousness. When we decided to get married on her estate she was more than willing to work with us to make it a memorable day. Her property is gorgeous with beautiful views of the lagoon and open meadows with horses. Our kids loved feeding the chickens and the number of swings all over the place. The house is comfortable, with enough space to house an entire family, plus more. I especially loved the flower gardens. The outdoor patio and hot tub really are great spots to relax and enjoy Bolinas. I would highly recommend this as a special and wonderful place to stay for a vacation or a special event. Linda makes sure that you have everything you need without intruding on your space. I hope to visit again soon, maybe for our anniversary.

  • What an amazing and magical place! The Mornell estate has it all - great location, beauty, serenity, close to fun places, and above all - is a great family home. You can totally tell this place was a very happy place for the Mornell family for many years! The horses were great, the chickens, ducks and Doc the rabbit were sweet and fun, the hostess was welcoming and warm and nearby if we needed her, but never hovering. The kitchen is well stocked, the bedrooms comfortable, the living space great for a large family, the dining room table expands for big dinners and great games. The fireplace was wonderful, didn't use the hot tub, but we could have! We just walked the property with Molly, the resident doggie, drove over to Stinson, walked to Bolinas, took a 1/2 day trip to Point Reyes Station and had a wonderful time! Would return to this property again and again!
