We have truly enjoyed our weekend stay. We found the house was clean and everything as described in the listing. Communication was great and lot of attention with all the instructions provided. They went above and beyond by even providing tips for the places around to make the trip flawless. There were even 3 pillows each with soft, medium, hard. House had a partial view of the bay from the rooms in between trees. All in all great stay and relaxing trip.
This was one of my favorite places I’ve stayed! Wonderful home, light filled, quiet and restful. Well appointed kitchen, view of the bay through the trees and the host is a joy!
What a wonderful, peaceful place to return to after a long day of hiking. Spacious, comfortable beds,and equipped with everything you need for a delightful stay. We will definitely be back.
Wonderful home away from home with plenty of space to relax, enjoy a meal and sip a glass of wine. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Stunning views of Tomales Bay. Didn't want to leave!
We enjoyed the beautiful view, skylights, and peaceful setting. The location is close to some of the best hikes at Point Reyes, but is also just a short drive away from the Inverness Market with its fabulous breakfast burritos and sandwiches. What more could you ask for?
We had an amazing time at Inverness, beautiful house and gorgeous area!
The only thing that was a little annoying is that we had to set up the sleeper sofa ourselves - though we booked the house for a family of 4 with 2 teenage kids and arrived around 1 am in the morning.
Other than that we had a wonderful stay.
Cannot wait to return. Just spend a long weekend in this beautiful and quiet home that is perched on the hills overlooking Tamales Bay. Absolutely spectacular. Very well equipped, and as mentioned in other reviews, tennis court is a nice bonus. Hardly wanted to leave the house since it was so nice to kick back and relax with a book and a glass of wine and a view. Thank you for opening your home to us.
We were looking for a quiet, tranquil getaway near nature but with all the comforts. We found it here and more. Great views, lovely location, and well designed and cozy cottage. Loved the tennis court. The only minor issue is the shower head angle is a bit odd since it points straight out the shower door and the shower door did not close properly. Easy fixes.
Fabulous property for a peaceful stay set in a forest of oak and pine trees. Our favorite feature was the outdoor deck overlooking Tómales Bay. Rustic but not rough… well stocked with so many elegant extras like complimentary bottle of wine and chocolate, wild lavender and lemon verbena hand soaps. We appreciated a focus on sustainability without sacrificing convenience. Wish we could have stayed longer to try the tennis court and kayak rentals close by. Definitely stop at The Inverness Park Market for excellent food options! Close to all Point Reyes attractions and hiking. Thank you to our hosts for sharing your gracious home!
Great place to stay. The location is convenient to hiking trails, good restaurants, markets. Owners have thoughtfully provided for every need, comfortably furnished the house. Love sitting on the deck looking over the bay and listening to all the birds. Will be back soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this lovely, well equipped cottage. From the welcoming bottle of wine and chocolate bar to their help during an emergency (PG&E power outage), our hosts were extremely generous!
The home was delightful..everything was so well thought-out to be in harmony with nature and with its surroundings. Very comfortable for hanging out and so convenient for exploring the area. Loved it!
