About this property

Sunny, Updated House a Block from Pt. Reyes Nat'l Seashore

This small, light-filled house is on a level lot with a completely fenced back yard, with wooden deck, barbecue and lots of roses. The living-dining-kitchen area has peaked ceilings, an open floor plan and a wall of windows to the back yard and a gas stove-fireplace. There is another deck by the front door to catch the late afternoon sun.

Walk out the front door and turn west onto the quiet, virtually traffic-free dirt roads of the Bolinas' 'Big Mesa.' In two short blocks you are at the southern border of Pt. Reyes National Seashore -- a huge, grassy meadow leading from a horse ranch over the the bluffs above the Pacific (on a clear day you can see the Farallones). Or walk a few blocks south to overlook the surfers off Bolinas and Stinson Beach and to San Francisco and Devil's Slide further south, and then continue down the road to town and the beaches.

Everything about the stay, the house and the location were ideal. The home was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. While just my wife and I this home could easily accommodate two couples, or a family of 4. Walking distance to the village of Bolinas & the Beach, most of which could be traversed by a dirt path. Short drive to Agate Beach to watch the sunset. About a 4 mile drive (or run!) to the Palomarin Trailhead.

Comfortable and Quiet

Clean and nicely decorated. The beds were good. We have stayed in other places in Bolinas that were disappointing, so we were a bit wary, but this place was very nice.

Quiet Getaway

A comfortable accommodation, close to Pt.Reyes, Stinson Beach, and hiking trails. Bolinas Loop Trail was a favorite. We enjoyed star gazing in the evening and morning coffee on the deck.

Cozy Get Away

This was a very cozy, bright home. It was very clean and the bedrooms were quite spacious. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck. It’s in a very peaceful and quiet area and we especially enjoyed peering at the night stars.

Yoga retreat

My friend and I had a yoga training in Point Reyes. This home was a great place to be out of the city with patio and spacious backyard. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the gear we needed for our stay. It was dark and quiet at night which offered a blissful night’s sleep. Thanks for such a homey place to stay.

What a lovely little find!

We had such a great time at this little cottage….private, quiet, well set up. Dogs LOVED the large, fenced, secure backyard. They could not stop exploring. Nice patio area for dining any time of day. Had to contact owners regarding a minor blip and they were very responsive and great to deal with. Thank you for sharing your get away home with us!

Sweet little getaway

Very sweet little cottage in Bolinas. It's cozy, but has everything you'd need -- two large beds, enough cooking implements that our family was able to make a meal or two, and a nice living room to play board games in. The place was clean and well kept-up, and it had a nicely maintained backyard that my son and dog enjoyed playing in.Two notes about the place: You get a lot of sun in the morning (particularly in the second bedroom), so you might want to bring a sleep mask. Also, the nearest gas station is 15 miles away, so plan accordingly. :)

Lovely house, property, and location

This lovely house and yard was perfect for our needs: clean, cheerfully decorated, more spacious than anticipated, with a large fenced yard that accommodated canine Zoomies & Fetch. The owners' instructions were clear and easy to follow. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, the comfortable beds and linens. Everything we needed, plus beauty and quiet. Thank you! We hope to return.

Beautiful retreat

It was mostly rainy, yet the nature let us walk twice to Bass lake and Alamere falls, everything is so green and fresh. And since the early winter sunset till late sunrise the home provided us with all the comfort and quietude. Many thanks to our hosts, Hilary and Don. Happy New Year!

Lovely stay

The home is bright and airy. The owners generously allowed us to check in early, which we greatly appreciated, as we had two kitties traveling with us. The home is a little older-looking than we had expected but was very comfortable. We don't like to leave our cats at home during fire season and were very pleased the owners let us bring them with us!! There were plenty of dishes and the beds were very comfortable!
