Classic vintage West Marin vacation home. Beautiful aged redwood construction with eclectic furnishing. It seems a loved home that has served a few generations of family. We were two couples; the master bedroom had a king bed. The other 2 bedrooms had doubles which were a little too cozy. The kitchen The garden and patio were sunny and welcoming.

Loved staying at this house with our family. The outdoor spaces are wonderful for relaxing and eating all meals outdoors, and the house is lovely. Our kids loved walking to the library a few doors down.

So special!

This home is so special. It’s steeped in history and in the best location. I was worried about being warm at night because the house is only heated with a wood burning stove, but we were toasty warm all night.

Inverness

This is a lovely older home in the heart of Inverness. The kitchen has been remodeled and seems to have everything but we ate out a lot so didn't put it to an extreme test. There is lots of outdoor space for hanging out. It was very spacious for just 3 of us. We enjoyed the home.

Perfect girls weekend getaway spot

Meg's house was so lovely and in such a great location! My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time relaxing in the house and in the yard space, which was all so cozy and well equipped. Short drive from Point Reyes main downtown area and a quick walk to some cute restaurants and a grocery store. Meg provided very detailed instructions and was a great host. Would highly recommend!

Cozy Character

Lots of room to relax inside or out, and get a great night sleep after exploring Pt Reyes National Park and towns along Tomales Bay! Loved the old wooden walls, staircase, and antique touches. Would have loved to take a bath, but the downstairs shower in the closed off laundry area felt private enough though tiny. I so prefer unique vs. IKEA clone places like this!

Great Winter Escape

I spent a month working remotely and enjoying Inverness—a new area for me. Home is beautiful and met my needs perfectly. I needed WiFi and phone access. Yard was perfect for my dog. Quiet locale in January. Property owner was helpful and easy to work with. Stayed in touch with me and answered my questions throughout the process.

Rustic, old charmer

My group of friends really enjoyed this place and the location. The listing is very accurate -- it has a lot of old home appeal and charm. Thank you to the host who provided every detail possible and communicated in a kind way. The one issue we had was the lack of curtains on any windows. Room darkeners would be nice as an option for the bedrooms.

Quiet Getaway

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this home. It was exactly what we were looking for (Quiet and near beaches and outdoor activities) The home had a few additions that made it even better(binoculars, towels, sunscreen). Things others may find concerning: spiders, and conservation of water Things we were concerned about: loose front door handle, a door code that does not change, a man was present at check in who introduced himself as the maintenance man. We would return to this home because of its location and the fun we found in that area.

Remodeled older home. Beautiful outdoor space. The kitchen was very nice clean and up to date. The bathrooms were a little funky but clean. If you are a larger individual this may not be the place for you as the shower is very tight. Beds were very comfortable. It is an older home and the stairs were a little tricky to navigate so if you have mobility issues or small children this place might be a challenge. Overall very nice but a little quirky because of it being an older home.
