Pt Reyes 2 Cottage Retreat Over Tomales Bay from $325/nt (for Chalet only)

Lovely property - though very close to Inverness it is secluded and private. Both homes are quite charming (great rugs and decor), a few quirks, but all were expected and the owners were very helpful and readily available for any questions. Trickiest part was setting up hot tub, lots of instructions to follow for properly mixing chemicals, but easy enough and we’ll worth it! Property exceeded expectations. It was a magical space for a mini-retreat weekend. I would highly recommend this space for friends or family gatherings. Thank you, Dean!

Our family of nine enjoyed our stay in this charming, rustic cottage in Inverness. The setting is beautiful, on a wooded hill with a view out over Tomales Bay. The main cottage was comfortably-furnished, with lots of room for us to spread out, and a wonderful collection of games to play in the evenings. Some of our group slept in the smaller cottage, a few steps from the chalet. The kitchen is small, but we cooked simple meals on the little gas range and had fun sharing the dish-washing duties. The property is convenient to all the beaches and hikes in the area, and a short drive to the stores and restaurants in Pt Reyes Station. We had a lovely time and especially enjoyed cozy evenings in the comfortable living room, warmed by the gas-fired cast-iron stove. The owner was very helpful and accommodating.

Dean and Ariella's home is beautiful and quiet. Lots of light, warm hardwood floors, a gorgeous view of Tomales Bay, and a lovely hot tub (although figuring out chlorine and PH levels was a little challenging for the novice). Ariella was very responsive and helpful. The one drawback was the upstairs bed. It was comfortable, but I forgot how narrow a double (as opposed to a queen size) is, and my wife and I both bumped are head several times on the sloping ceiling on both sides of the bed. Perhaps it's not a challenge for the better coordinated. If you go, seriously consider dinner at the nearby Saltwater Oyster Depot....it was amazing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing weekend in "Oaktopia" - surrounded by nature, with inspiring art and stunning views.

We loved our stay at oaktopia and in Inverness. The cozy and treetop-feeling home was great for hanging out and playing games in and also a perfect launchpad for hiking, swimming, and other adventures. We loved swimming at Shell beach and running around at McClure's beach by tómales point, where we hiked and ran on the trail to see the elk. Had a great night eating dinner at the house and another with delicious pizza in PT Reyes station. The views from the house are beautiful and the hot tub is an amazing way to start and end the day. We had family in the cottage too and it was a perfect layout for our two families to be together but with a little space (we have kids and they don't!). Dean was very communicative and helpful from booking through our stay and everything clear and easy. The open floor plan is beautiful though be prepared with a toddler to make things work with noise etc for sleeping and also for stair climbing. Our kids loved the swings, finding banana slugs, and all the great board games. Definitely recommend!
