About Jeff and Barbie Fairchild
Jeff & Barbie Fairchild Retired restauranteurs, we now enjoy our grandchildren, sailing, boating, travelling and enjoying all the wonders of our current home here in the heart of Point Reyes National Seashore.
Jeff and Barbie Fairchild purchased this Studio in 1954
Why Jeff and Barbie Fairchild chose Inverness
This property was purchased as a vacation home by my grandparents. They added a second home, Hi House, in 1960. My siblings and I purchased the property from the family(s) in 1974. We rented occasionally to friends, and in 2004 my wife and I began to offer the homes as vacation rentals.
What makes this Studio unique
Peace, solitude, nature. Surrounded by Tomales Bay State Park and the Point Reyes National Seashore. Property is isolated, yet only minutes from the seashore, bay, hiking, biking, birding, whale watching and dining.

Incredible and I only live 20 miles away.
Excellent
Amazing
We enjoyed our stay very much! Beautiful land and views. We will definitely be back!
Amazing House in the Woods
What a fantastic house for a couple wanting to get away. It is nestled in the woods but raised up with an amazing view with glass on three sides. Perfect location for hiking. Don't miss Marshall Beach as the end of the road the house is one. Will be back.
The photos don’t do it justice!
What a wonderful location, nestled in a forest on the edge of Point Reyes National Seashore. The majority of the space is glass, providing ever-changing views. Sunrises and sunsets are wonderful, but watching the mist roll in off the Pacific was also cool. Everything was as expected and worked as it should. Given the opportunity, we would definitely stay here again!
Hi-House the glass house
This property is very impressive with wide open views of the beautiful surrounding area. The inside is decorated in a cool modern design that pleasingly juxtaposes the surrounding panorama of nature. The lack of wifi is a pleasant break from the everyday hustle to just ease back, relax and enjoy the views. We loved Hi-House and would definitely return!
High up in the Hi House
This property is a rare place to retreat and relax. It is just as represented and although it doesn't look like a tree house from the outside, when one is lying in bed and watching the sky lighten or the moon rise through the tree tops it feels as if one is living high up in the trees. I am sorry we did not have more time as we did not take advantage of the wonderful deck to relax with coffee in the AM or wine in the evenings.
A caution-there is no wifi and cell phone coverage is spotty but if that isn't a problem for you, stay and experience Pt Reyes in a relaxing way, as it shoudl be.
