The Guest House in Town offers a quiet and secluded retreat bordering open space right in the heart of historic Point Reyes Station. Restaurants, art galleries, the Cowgirl Creamery, boutique shops, Yoga, a farmers market, and live events are all just a block or two away. Enjoy listening to the songbirds and watching the sunset over the Inverness Ridge from your secluded and private deck. With unobstructed and panoramic views of the gardens and the newly acquired National Park 'Wetlands' you will quickly settle into the peace and quiet of West Marin.

The Guest House is a two story loft with a spacious living/dining area and a fully equipped kitchen where you will find all the comforts of home. In the loft upstairs there is a queen bed and a sitting area where you can enjoy the expansive views out the floor to ceiling windows facing open space. There is a small bathroom upstairs with a shower only.

This is the perfect romantic get away for a couple. The Guest House can also accommodate a small family with children sleeping on aero beds. The house sits detached from the main house with it's own private entry in the rear.

The property is full of roses and hydrangeas, there is always something striking in bloom. Enjoy the organic apples and juicy blackberries surrounding the property if you are here in the late summer or early fall. Kayaks are available and can be easily transported on wheels to the meandering creek down a path right outside the property.

Nearby Point Reyes National Seashore offers trails for hiking, long stretches of beaches, coves along the bay for swimming, an Education Center, wildlife viewing, and a scenic drive along the edge of Tomales Bay where oysters on the half shell are sold and served.

The Guest House in Town was recently purchased and has been newly updated by an artist/designer. It was formerly operated as Annie's Garden Cottage.

                Lovely, charming, fully stocked, friendly, close to grocery stores, accessible to trails, relaxing and beautiful surroundings. These are only a few words to describe a wonderful experience. The owner is helpful and friendly but not intrusive. We took a lovely trip to Nick's Cove on her suggestion and had a great time! Literally,all you need to bring is food - everything and I mean everything else is provided for. We will return! Made it hard to come home! Thanks for everything!

                The Guest House in Town is my favorite place to stay in Pt Reyes! Waking up to beautiful views of Inverness Ridge and the variety of birds that visit the bird feeder amongst the beautiful gardens was like a dream come true. I even got to pick apples and blackberries from the yard. An added bonus is that the house is one block from the main street in Pt Reyes Station. We cooked the entire weekend using the great kitchen and had lovely dinners outside on the deck taking in the scenery. Everyday you just breathe everything Pt Reyes has to offer from this amazing location. I will be staying at this house again. It was just a lovely experience. Also, the bed is so comfortable, there's no way you cannot get a good night's rest!

                This place is beautifully appointed, spacious, extremely well designed and decorated, spotless, and was an absolute joy to inhabit. The kitchen is full and easy to use, dishes are lovely and ample, and the views are simply stunning. If anything, the photo's understate the place's charm. Fog comes over the Inverness Ridge and one forgets that this is a convenient in town cottage. Gardens are gorgeous. We were so enchanted we stayed in our first evening there to enjoy the ambiance. The owner is gracious, capable, and full of good humor. One of our best (of many) visits to Pt. Reyes. We recommend with great enthusiasm.

                My husband, 3 year old and I loved staying at this loft. The place has great attention to detail and is on lovely grounds. The location can't be beat, just a block or two from everything in Point Reyes Station and right outside your door is a lovely trail that leads to a stream, blackberry and plum picking. We had a great time! The Host is very friendly (lives in the main house), helpful, and gracious. She had great recommendations for local activities and food. One of the nicest VRBOs we have encountered. We will be back!

                This was a fabulous place to spend the weekend. The owner is an incredibly gracious woman, and the guest house is bright, beautiful, and comfortable. Everything is clean as can be, the garden is amazing, and the kitchen is fantastically well-equipped. The location is perfect. It's a block from Point Reyes Station's main shopping street but the property is adjacent to a gorgeous greenbelt, so all you can see is out the two-story floor to ceiling windows is gorgeous green. I use VRBO fairly regularly, and this place is top tier. Thanks for letting us stay with you. We hope to be back soon!

                My wife and I stayed here for three days of hiking, kyacking and sampling the local farm products ( cheese, beer, oysters, beef, organic produce!). The place matched the photos exactly: a well appointed and decorated, with loads of windows and light. The deck and garden overlook the wetlands and up to the Point Reyes seashore. We got to see and hear lots of birds and wildlife, and amazing sunsets. We walked to town in 2 minutes to buy great cheese from the Cowgirl Creamery. Friends joined us from nearby for a picnic and for BBQ'd oysters from Drakes Bay. This is a very special place, perfect for a couple. The owner is a delightful artist, who gave us inside tips on what to do and where to dine in Point Reyes. We'll be back!
