We enjoyed our stay in the rustic cabin in the redwoods. It was very peaceful and quiet. Teresa was a responsive and helpful host. It is clear from many nice touches that care was taken to provide a comfortable, relaxed stay. There was plenty of hot water and several ways to make coffee. The kitchen is small but has everything needed to make and store food. The living area is furnished with a warm homey feel. Other than the bedroom being a bit tight and the bathroom being a bit small, the stay was just right for our visit. The location is within walking distance of the downtown.

Thank you Laura Glad you enjoyed your stay for your special celebration. Being a 1920's cottage this is just how they built homes back then. The photos and description in my listing are accurate as to size of a 900 sq foot space. Thank you for leaving the cottage in great order.

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.
