Pass through the Inverness Secret Garden Cottage gate into an enchanting world of sensuous delight. Quiet, trickling waterfalls provide a soothing backdrop to the sound of birds and the scent of jasmine and rose. Take in the glorious views of shimmering Tomales Bay, the craggy Bishop Pine forest, and the lush rhododendron, azalea, and maple gardens. The mountain trails, wilderness, and ocean beaches of Point Reyes National Seashore are only minutes away. The Secret Garden Cottage is a unique bed and breakfast retreat, where cares fall away and dreaming is encouraged.
The one-bedroom, one-bath, craftsman-style cottage is nestled in its own private garden amidst six acres of forest. Curl up in front of the Vermont Castings fireplace for a romantic evening, or slip outside for a hot soak in the claw-foot tub set in the garden bath house. Seclusion and solitude are yours to enjoy.
