Well equipped home

I enjoyed my stay at Loyds Lookout. The home would be perfect for a family getting together. It was cozy and well appointed with all things needed. Although not 'new' there was a patina charm that fit the mood of the area and was a pleasant find.

Second time staying at this gorgeous property

Our family of four stayed for two days after xmas. This property if so nicely situated in old Inverness and close to all trailheads. The views with trees all around is lovely. Having the privacy of the upstairs loft master bedroom from the teens below was also nice. Very functional design in kitchen, dining and living room. We will be back!

A great stay in Inverness

We had a wonderful stay at Robert’s place. The location is perfect for visiting the Pt Reyes National Seashore. The house was everything we expected with a few delightful surprises like farm fresh eggs. Would definitely recommend!

Great week in Inverness

Our week stay at Lloyd’s Lookout was just what we hoped for. Comfortable accommodations, well stocked kitchen (thanks for the yummy eggs!), beautiful deck in the trees for sitting out, great location for exploring the National Seashore and Point Reyes Station. Communication with Ewa, our local host, was excellent. We would recommend Lloyd’s Lookout to others looking for a comfortable retreat in a beautiful part of the world.

Charming cottage in the trees

We loved our recent stay at this newly renovated cottage. It has all of the old Inverness charm but with modern upgrades. Expansive deck was perfect for doing art with my teen daughter on Spring break. Loads of privacy while very close to old town Inverness and all of the Pt Reyes beaches and trail heads.

Comfortable vacation house, fabulous location

We loved our visit to Lloyds Lookout. The house is very comfortable, with beautiful views through the trees to Tomales Bay. The beds are great, well appointed kitchen and bathrooms—everything you would want in a vacation house. Ewa, our host, even left fresh eggs for us, and made sure there was propane for the grill. We can’t wait to return!

A cabin in the woods

We loved our stay in Loyd’s Lair and in Inverness in general, the town, the shops and the activities made it a fun few days. The house was that perfect balance of cute, and comfortable, with enough space for us to get away but also if enough for us to get together. The town is gorgeous and a deluge to walk around, albeit a little hilly. The shops have enough and further afield at point Reyes Station the market was perfect to buy supplies (the local Inverness shop was well stocked). Point Reyes was amazing an interesting place to explore.All in all the five days we spent were fantastic and the house just made things really easy.

We had a great stay- thanks so much Ewa for facilitating. Wonderful neighborhood and well appointed home. House is fairly close to other homes in the neighborhood, for inverness but still feels private from indoors. We’d love to return again.

Wonderful stay at Lloyd's Lookout

We had a very relaxing stay at Lloyd's Lookout. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, some flowers and chocolates on the kitchen table and fresh eggs in the fridge, which definitely formed a good first impression. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. The host, Ewa, was very responsive to all our communication and obviously takes good care of the property. We would definitely stay there again and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and other family.

Perfect family retreat

Grandparents, parents, and two teen girls - we all had a wonderful time! The house is super clean and very comfortable, with plenty of room for the three generations. Well stocked kitchen supplies, lots of windows, a short walk into Inverness, and so quiet. It’s obvious that great care is being put into this lovely home.
