About this property

Cottage on Inverness Bay!

This is a unique opportunity to experience an Inverness cottage of your own. It is located on six acres stretching along the beginning of Tomales Bay. Enjoy gardens, flowers, orchard, marshes and year-round creek. There is an abundant variety of birds and wildlife.

Tomales Bay is at your back door, providing endless vistas of beauty and interest. Enjoy the ever-changing flow of water and quality of light. As the tide rises, take in the reflection of sky and rolling hills from the opposite shore, or the full moon rising over Black Mountain. The views are expansive.

As the tide recedes, watch for the variety of birds foraging for food along the shore, or footprints of deer as they move through the area. You may enjoy the view from the living room, outdoor deck, or sitting at the edge of the bay.

The cottage is approximately 3 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore visitor Center, and just 2 miles from the town of Inverness.

Cute cottage that puts you in a perfect location for Point Reyes exploration. The kitchen is outfitted at a level above the usual so it was a pleasure to use. Communication was superior. Recommended for birders and nature lovers.

The cottage and location were perfect. It was wonderful to see Tomales Bay from the living room and kitchen windows and to walk out to the marsh. Everything was provided in the cabin, and it instantly felt cozy and comfortable. Looking forward to another visit!
