*Lots of counter space and bar stool seating in the kitchen
*Laundry room for your convenience
*Fully gated pool (please note that it’s not heated, but is open all year - enjoy a cold plunge with a view in the cooler months)

Guest access:
The home is set up for self check-in. Guests can access the home via lockbox and will have access to the entire home.
Other things to note:
1. Confirmed guests will receive a local "Insider's Guide". We're a family business deeply connected to our community, and we hope you'll enjoy and respect this beautiful corner of the world while supporting our local economy sustainably. We love sharing it with our guests!
2. The home is professionally cleaned with eco-friendly products.
3. No chores for our guests! That’s what the cleaning fee is for, right? We have a fantastic team of housekeepers, some of whom have worked with us for over 10 years. We fully clean each home top to bottom, fully restocking all amenities, replacing worn-out items, and keeping things fresh and pleasant for our guests. We use top-notch cleaning products without annoying scents or chemicals, and our cleaners are paid living wages because they are the backbone of what we do and you’ll appreciate their attention to detail.
4. We do have a video surveillance camera on the parking area (only), as well as family members who live at the main ranch house. So while your privacy and comfort is assured, we will not tolerate any abuse of our "NO PARTIES - NO ANIMALS" policy. If you're looking for a place to cut loose and laugh and play music late into the night, we have other homes nearby that are more appropriate. Please ask us for alternative accommodation and we’d be happy to help find a place!
5. Outside guests are limited to 2 without prior approval.
6. Please note that there are cattle grates preventing the cows from entering the area close to the home, but you may have to drive slowly if the herd is grazing along the entrance road, as there are no fences down there, and the cows tend to wander across the road right when you get close.
**Please ensure you read the house rules and comply before booking.**
Guest interaction:
The property is set up for contactless entry. We are a local company that manages the property. We're just 15 minutes away, and our office is in Point Reyes Station. We're here 7 days a week to answer your questions or address any issues, usually within an hour, even on weekends and holidays.
Neighborhood:
Discover the hidden gem of Nicasio, a serene valley just minutes away from Marin suburbs and Point Reyes Station. This area is surrounded by rolling hills and is very quiet and secluded. Enjoy hiking and biking trails, kayaking, and exploring the nearby Point Reyes National Seashore. The town of Point Reyes Station is very walkable and has many great places to visit, including Bovine Bakery, Tomales Bay Foods, and Station House Cafe.
Getting around:
There is plenty of parking in the driveway. You will need a car/bike to get around.
No parties or events without prior approval. We do allow small gatherings for an additional fee, refundable deposit and agreement to our policies. Simply contact us to discuss.
