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 cottage.
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. Absolutely no parties or loud/late-night gatherings. We have neighbors nearby on both sides who are noise-sensitive. Please respect the serenity of the neighborhood. 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. No pets at this stay.
6. Please be aware that the property is located on Highway One; occasional noise from passing vehicles, especially during busy weekends, is possible.
**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:
The cottage is located in the village of Marshall, ideally situated on the East shore of Tomales Bay, making for a great place to watch the sun set! Easily walk, bike, or drive to countless hiking/biking trails and nature attractions. Local eateries, like Marshall Store, Tony's Seafood, and Hog Island Oyster Company, are within walking distance.
Getting around:
Free parking on the premises.
No children under age 12.
Outside guests are limited to 2 without prior approval.
Exterior noise must be kept to a minimum after dark out of respect for our neighbors.
