This was such a lovely place to stay. Right near town but tucked in under the trees at the edge of the forest. Clean, comfortable, and very cozy, it had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Host was welcoming and available but respected our privacy. We definitely will stay here again the next time we return to Marin County, there is so much to explore.

We enjoyed the cabin in the woods. Host provided a couple of days worth of coffee and paper products to get you started. If you book a long stay, laundry will have to be done in town. We enjoyed the huge redwoods surrounding the cabin. Host was very accommodating so we could park our van in a secure spot off the street. Thank you Teresa!

Thank you for staying and glad you enjoyed your stay. For any one reading this, Sheri misrepresented amenities that I provide, full real china and cups and silver warr,No paper products provided. Also as many coffee pods/ground local coffee as much needed for your stay. Kurage,Drip or French press. Sherri and her husband were very sweet but her son was a little edgy in manor.
