Breathtaking Retreat in the Redwoods + Master Suite-3BR/2.5BA -MID-WEEK SPECIAL

LOOK FOR MID WEEK SPECIALS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY!

Come to the woods, for here is rest... John Muir
Summer is Magical when you are located within the majestic and private redwoods of Marin County. Winter is Mystical with the foggy mornings drawn in from the California coast.

The Space

This stylish place to stay is perfect for larger group trips. It offers the same amenities as our 2-bedroom listing, but includes the newly renovated 1st Floor Master Bedroom & Spa Bathroom Suite and it's 2 private decks and yard secluded from the rest of the home.

Nestled on a north facing hill in the middle of the Redwoods, this house offers expansive views into the redwoods and the natural habit of the life it embraces.

In addition, being owned by an award-winning lighting designer with a background in interior design and architecture, the home offers many unique characteristics that will make this an exceptional experience to stay in.

Where We Are and Nearby Things To Do

This 3000 square foot house is located in the California Redwoods of the San Geronimo Valley in Central Marin, almost halfway between the transportation hub of San Rafael (9 miles-17-30 minutes depending on traffic) and the Point Reyes National Seashore's Limantour Beach (20 miles -35 minutes depending on your comfort with windy beautiful roads).

For the cheese lovers, it is an 8-minute drive to the local Nicasio Valley cheese creamery which we can provide instructions to follow the famous cheese trail loop for a yummy day's outing.

For wine lovers, you can find the burning bench vineyard (1.4 miles-3 minutes) and get to the heart of Sonoma County wineries within 45-90 minutes, and Napa Valley in about an hour or longer, depending on your destination.

We also supply an amazing day trip sightseeing loop suggestion to see the variety of what this unique area provides in sightseeing and culinary experiences. In addition, waterproof maps are provided for hiking and biking the area.

About the House

The Retreat in the Redwoods is furnished and designed in contemporary furnishings in a barn style, we call it” Modern Barn style” or “Organic Contemporary”, a phrase that Inga has come up with long before it was the cool thing to do. Currently we list the 2-bedroom rental separately, but this listing adds a third amazing element, which is the recently renovated downstairs master suite and adjacent luxury spa bath. There will never be an overlap of guests in the house (The entire house is privately rented as either a 2 bedroom or a 3 bedroom)

The Kitchen

The reviews on our retreat (from other listings) indicate that the most loved aspect of the house is the 450 Square foot kitchen, which is a chef and baker's dream. It is guaranteed to thrill you to entertain in, whether you have 1 chef in the family or many! The central 11’ x 4’ stone island is our guest’s favorite place to belly up to and converse while preparing, cooking, eating or “happy-hour-Ing"! There are 6 wood bar stools for your family and friends to converse with you while cooking (without getting in the way.) An additional redwood stumped glass breakfast table (salvaged from our forest) offers more seating choices. The newest technology in warm glow LED lighting will give you an insight as to where lighting is going in the future. There are lighting control keypads creating varying moods as well as a sound dock to hook up your MP3 player via Bluetooth, which will play your music through the kitchen. The kitchen is stocked with high end supplies that we love and live with (not like the bare essentials we have found in other rentals). You will find plenty of spices and staples, eliminating the need to stock up on things rarely used, such as olive oil and other items we feel to be a necessity!

Decks and Outdoor spaces

The kitchen opens to 2 decks allowing private conversation on the north deck, and BBQ dinners or firepit star watching gatherings on the large south deck. The large South deck is the most popular deck with it's sectional seating area and gas fire pit, table for 6 people, outdoor grill. 2 large heaters, a "green wall" of fern and a view into 1600 acres of open space. This is also where the hot tub lives.

The north side of the kitchen has a balcony porch with a heater, warm blankets stored in a trunk, and 3 Adirondack chairs. It is a beautiful place to watch the sunset in the summer with a glass of local wine!

Hot Tub

The 2–3-person hot tub is found just behind the house on the south deck under a large eave and is accessible off the kitchen and the master suite. It is the perfect place to get a jet massage while enjoying the redwood forest, even in the rain! We supply an UMA lantern that also streams your music via Bluetooth in surround sound and also has warm dimming.

Guest Community Areas

Also included is a beautiful very large living room with seating for at least 8-10 (depending on your intimacy), a fireplace, 75" HD TV with Roku and DVD, adjacent dining room for 6, a recently updated downstairs powder room with Bidet toilet, and a huge 500 sf upstairs multi-purpose room / 2- workstation office / 2 TVs / yoga/ exercise / extra sleeping room which holds 2 queen sized air mattresses for extra guests (extra guest fees apply).

Office Workstations

The two laptop friendly 30" x 54" office workstations in the multipurpose room both have ergonomic Steelcase chairs, Samsung 32-inch CF391 Curved Monitors with 1080p, and direct internet cable connections, and a connected HP printer for 8.5 x 11" or 11 x 17" printing... so all you need is your laptop and HDMI cable and you'll be working faster than if you were at the office (If you can remember doing so!)

In the summer, the sun sets in this room’s 25' wide wall of glazing, so you will be sure to know when it is time to "leave the office" and move to the happy hour porch! The office also boasts perfect indirect lighting meeting the IESNA standard office lighting levels for both workstations. (Don't worry, the "office indirect lighting" blends beautifully into the residential architecture and can be dimmed while the room is in "Yoga" and "bedroom" mode:)The internet speed is tremendous at 91.6Mbps download and 38.6Mbps upload.

Bedrooms

Master Bedroom Suite
This very newly renovated Suite is found on the first floor and boasts an eastern king memory foam mattress and linen or bamboo sheets. At the 2 window corner hang modern and amazingly comfortable egg chairs where you can spin 360° to view the sunrise through the redwoods. Two 6’ closets hold lots of hanging wardrobe as well as having shelves and drawers. Fluffy terry robes are found here for your convenience. The bedroom has a 32" flat screen TV with Roku and has 2 private porches and yard accessed by sliding glass doors.

The newly renovated 150 square foot master bath has a (1 person-sorry!) deep soaking high pressure air jet massage / or a soothing soft bubbling whirlpool tub next to a 6' wide picture window looking into the forest; and a 2-person walk in shower with 2 rain towers that hold a rain shower and body jets off a natural rock wall. The shower also has an architecturally integrated linear up light grazer that highlights the rocks with a tunable color selection. The room also has a TV, Sonos amp, invisible speakers, color tuning and dehumidifying vanity mirrors and flanking mouth blown modern glass pendants from Niche lighting.

Harmony and Tranquility Bedrooms

These two rooms have a connecting door which will be set up in in either of the 2 ways you select before your arrival:

This can be set up as a 1-bedroom suite with separate sitting area. The Harmony room has a queen memory foam mattress with a cooling gel top which is normally the main bedroom if you only need one bed. The adjacent Tranquility room with solid core door access from the Harmony room has a full size super comfy sectional and micro kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances for late night snacks and drinks or a coffee /breakfast bar in the morning.

Or, this can be set up as a 2- bedroom. The Tranquility bedroom has a pull down extremely comfortable double mattress, so it can be used as another separate bedroom.

Each of the "treehouse" bedrooms have amazing redwood views, wall hung flat screen smart TVs, and two 100% organic Turkish cotton bathrobes for your use and enjoyment while visiting.

The upstairs bathroom between the bedrooms has been called the coolest shower ever by our guests. It includes warm natural slate floors and a walk-in shower with a rock wall extending up into a skylight to appreciate the tall tree canopies while bathing under the powerful rain shower.

All our comfortable beds, combined with the silence of the forest, will ensure that you will have your best nights rest. Our guests continually comment on how long and well they sleep, and don’t want to get out of bed, even the early risers!

If you arrived at night, you will be surprisingly shocked at waking up with an immersive view from the floor to ceiling windows.

Entertainment and electronics

The house has great Wi-Fi, smart TVs, a DVD player with +/-50 DVD's (watch movies from your computer or from our Netflix account)

Pets

Oh, and last but not least... "We Love Dogs". Your well-mannered dog may be OK with prior approval. There is a $100 one-time fee for your first dog and an additional $25 for your second dog. Typically there is a 2-dog maximum per stay with a combined weight of 80 lbs. If you have other needs, please inquire.

Additional Guests

Please inquire if there is a need to sleep over 6 people, or if more than 3 beds/ bedrooms are necessary.

Retreat in the Redwoods A

Property is amazing and well appointed. Everything you need is here for a memorable family vacation, and very close to great hiking trails and the charming Fairfax downtown. Note that there are a lot of rules and instructions, including use of special toiletries because of the water system. Ask to see the sample rental agreement before you commit to ensure you are comfortable with all the requirements.

Redwood Retreat!

We absolutely loved our stay here, and the property was immaculate and perfectly appointed for our family of six. We also had prompt communication with the hosts whenever we needed anything. We would certainly stay here again as our first choice in the area!

Stunning house in the redwoods

What an amazing house! My wedding party and I stayed here during my wedding and had an fantastic time. Many of them had never seen redwoods before and were mesmerized by staying amongst them, showering under them, walking along the trails in them. The design elements inside the house were very well thought out and aesthetic. Inga was also very responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again!

Redwood Retreat Review

My family and I stayed for 8 nights at this magical location. We were celebrating two college graduations and this place was a great midpoint for us. The house is as advertised and spacious with many places to hang out together or find a quiet space alone. Kitchen is well appointed and host is very generous to share spices, oils, coffee, etc. My favorite time was early morning out back with a hot cup of coffee viewing the awesome redwoods. You feel very safe and secluded there, but really only 10 minutes or so from the cute little town of Fairfax. One morning we had a small issue with the hot water not working. I sent a message to Inga and within 1 hour (maybe even less) someone came out to fix the problem. Inga was very responsive and we could not have had a better host! We all had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks Inga!

Lovely house, amazing location. Even better in person than the pictures. Only negative is that the greywater-friendly shower products provided are not great if you have long and/or curly hair

Peaceful Getaway in the Woods

My cousin held her wedding in the Samuel P. Taylor State Park and I stayed at this house with my wife, sister, her partner, and our parents. The space was perfect for us 6 and very close to the State Park. The house offered us a peaceful space we could come together and enjoy each others company as well as find a cozy corner to read individually and be alone. Surrounded by the forest this house emanates hygge, was the perfect spot to just be with no agenda, and offered retreat from a busy wedding. I will be thinking about those tall trees that surround the house swaying in the breeze for quite a while.

Om värden

Inga Birkenstock är värd

Värdens profilbild
I have been a designer since I was 12, always rearranging my bedroom and changing lighting at that time. As a professional now, I love to create great spaces that people can enjoy and relax in (and include some "wow" factor!) Vacationing people are so much fun to deal with, and I love being a host! When a guest, I find the most unique places and go overboard to abide by rules and take care of the space. I know what is like to be a good renter!

Varför värden valde detta boende

This is a magical place that we call sometimes call home, and we share it only to loving people that appreciate the beauty and wilderness that only the San Geronimo redwood valley can provide. San Geronimo is a small village in the San Geronimo Valley. It is a very safe, quiet, and wooded rural residential and horse ranch neighborhood within walking distance to a huge sunny park (transformed from a golf course) and a restaurant. Driving is a must since you are in a rural area, however, walking and biking is VERY popular!

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

I have over 100 reviews on another site, and let me quote a guest review from November of 2022: As soon as you drive up the driveway your shoulders relax and you begin to smile. You realize immediately you’ve arrived someplace very special. The house itself is very well appointed, and features really nice decor and aesthetic touches. The kitchen, bathrooms, audio video, lighting systems are all modern and sophisticated. Incredible redwoods surround this gorgeous home. Our family loved all the outdoor seating and dining areas, perfect for enjoying a picnic from the local market/delicatessen. Beautiful hiking trails close by kept us busy discovering wildlife and enjoying incredible views. I will never forget the look on my granddaughter’s face when she saw her first redwood tree. Inga, I cannot imagine a more perfect place for our family reunion. Lots of memories made. Thank you!
