About this property
Cottage on Inverness Bay!
This is a unique opportunity to experience an Inverness cottage of your own. It is located on six acres stretching along the beginning of Tomales Bay. Enjoy gardens, flowers, orchard, marshes and year-round creek. There is an abundant variety of birds and wildlife.
Tomales Bay is at your back door, providing endless vistas of beauty and interest. Enjoy the ever-changing flow of water and quality of light. As the tide rises, take in the reflection of sky and rolling hills from the opposite shore, or the full moon rising over Black Mountain. The views are expansive.
As the tide recedes, watch for the variety of birds foraging for food along the shore, or footprints of deer as they move through the area. You may enjoy the view from the living room, outdoor deck, or sitting at the edge of the bay.
The cottage is approximately 3 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore visitor Center, and just 2 miles from the town of Inverness.

It's a sweet, comfy little cottage with a long view towards the bay and the coastal foothills. Very relaxing. We had everything we needed in a rental and the owner is very responsive.
The cottage is enchanting!!. We didn’t want to leave!There was so much to love about about our stay. We We came to unwind, detach, and heal. It was an amazing experience!!Thank you!We look forward to coming back for a longer stay!
So cute and cozy and in a wonderful location to Point Reyes light house beaches and restaurants as well. Beautiful picture windows are wonderful for the view while staying cozy inside. We loved our stay!
Everything was as advertised. The kitchen was well equipped, as we like to cook our own meals. The heaters worked well and we were very comfortable. The setting is beautiful and the house has big windows to highlight the view.
The cottage and location were perfect. It was wonderful to see Tomales Bay from the living room and kitchen windows and to walk out to the marsh. Everything was provided in the cabin, and it instantly felt cozy and comfortable. Looking forward to another visit!
Very restful, peaceful and pleasant stay in the cottage. Close to many trails as well as town. Birds and flowers all around and enough amenities to enhance our stay. Would stay here again, Louise was a wonderful host and the cottage was just what we needed to recharge and rejuvenate.
