About this property
🌿5.0 Rating🌿 Sunny, spacious cozy retreat + firepit. World-class trails!
🌿 5.0 rating 🌿 Guest Favorite! Hiker & biker friendly host. 🌲 🌲 🌲
Bright, comfortable, spacious first floor unit in a two unit private home.
Entirely private space - clean, casual MeadowSuite Retreat in the San Geronimo Valley is one ample bedroom with living room, full kitchen/ dining area & bath. Living Room couch folds out into a bed.
A sunny rustic outdoor patio with picnic table, lounge chairs, and gas fire pit invites lingering outdoors.
Inky night skies make for fantastic stargazing while snuggled up on chaises.
Within walking distance, explore a stunning variety of nature trails.
Walk to neighborhood cafe, Giaco’s Roadhouse for breakfast.
Closed Mondays.
Take a class at Spirit Rock. Feel awe hiking in Roy’s Redwoods.
Amble through the mostly flat paths of The Commons, formerly a golf course, then pause on the foot bridge to spy spawning salmon. Coyotes, bobcats, turkeys and more, call this verdant valley home.
Get quiet, listen to the wind and unwind…
Go for a drive west to Samuel P Taylor State Park, where you’ll find towering redwood groves, picnicking, and trails.
Continue on to Highway One, explore the endless beauty of Point Reyes National Seashore.
Nosh on famous cheeses at Cowgirl Creamery in Tomales Bay Foods, grab lunch and peruse independently-owned shops in Point Reyes Station.
Don’t miss the buffalo milk gelato at Palace Market.
Stinson and Bolinas beaches beckon for surfing and beach combing.
Explore the historic town of Nicasio with its rolling ranches and little white church, home to Rancho Nicasio, LIVE MUSIC venue and great food.
Stop in at Nicasio Cheese Co., leave with Foggy Morning cheese.
Once the San Geronimo Valley settles in for the night, things get very quiet.
Without the presence of street lights, the night sky shines brightly.
Stay, relax, explore and enjoy!
You’ll find something to appreciate in every season.

About the host
Hosted by Heather Janssen
What makes this property unique
This is a unique bright & sunny flat space on a rural rambling hillside acre. The larger property that surrounds is studded with trees, and affords the sounds of nature, and pungent gardens. Dark skies, thanks to very few bright lights, makes for sparkly star-gazing from the patio. Colorful skies at sunset are a pleasure from your chaise lounger.
