About this property

Cottage Nestled Away in Point Reyes Village

The cottage is freshly built and is nestled away in the back of a property located in one of the Point Reyes village rural neighborhoods. Taking the raised pathway to the house, it feels like you have entered your own secret garden and are far away, yet you are less than a mile from downtown Point Reyes village and shops. Without getting back into your car, you can walk down the easy back trail right into town.

Immaculate kitchen with huge granite island that spans the great room for easy cooking, conversation, and Netflix movies. Blender, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and French coffee press, wine and other glasses, all dishes, pots & pans. Fridge and sink provide filtered water. Fridge icemaker and water easily accessed on front panel. Two beds: a new queen in the bedroom, twin daybed in the living room.

Large covered front porch for morning coffee or spectacular sunset views over Inverness Ridge - rain or shine. House is surrounded by grass and gardens with views all around. It sits near a former seasonal pond that is long gone, but still the ducks and birds fly around the yard as if they remember. The sunny location allows for enjoyment of the outdoors year-round. Sitting on the porch, or in the hot tub, under the black and starry night sky or watching the winter storms roll in are experiences that will ease your mind and enliven your senses. Having the comforts of WIFI and phone will keep you connected while finding yourself in the beauty of a small village.

The house is completely independent from the other dwelling on the property and is set apart with zen-like privacy screens. Guests have their own parking space. Smoking and pets are not allowed. House is located just 3.5 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore visitor center where you can get information regarding the beaches, bay, lagoon, estero, forests, meadows, wild life, birds, creeks, rivers, trails. Lighthouse just 30 minute drive. Close to fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, wine tasting, photographing. Experience the wilderness beauty - rolling green hills and ocean cliffs with sunshine sparkling on the water and dramatic sunsets.

Two birding and hiking friends greatly enjoyed this cottage/house. Exceptionally clean with plenty of room and a yard with visiting birds. The hot tub was such a relaxing way to end a day of hiking. Walking distance to shops and great food. Lovely stay!

Wonderful Cottage

Nancy's cottage is even better than the pictures. It's roomy with a well stocked kitchen and filtered water. She had a tea pot and coffee maker. We enjoyed the cozy fire pit. The hot tub is great after hiking at Pt. Reyes! The day bed is in its own room and is comfortable. I would definitely book this cottage again.

A relaxing stay in the country

This was a wonderful private stay yet minutes from restaurants. It is a bird paradise. The cottage has everything to make a stay comfortable- full kitchen. I am not computer savvy and could not operate the TV or WiFi or hot tub but the beauty of the property and proximity to trails kept me busy. GREAT PLACE TO SIT AND READ.

Quiet cottage on the edge of town

We enjoyed our stay at this relaxing cottage, surrounded by a garden at the back of a property. Our host was wonderful. The cottage was roomy, with a full kitchen and comfortable queen sized bed. We enjoyed walks into Point Reyes Station, to visit the book store, cafes and shops. A very short drive to the National Park, and easy scenic drives further up the Marin coast to the tiny towns of Tomales and Valley Ford.

Pretty and peaceful

Lovely stay. Surprisingly large cottage with lots of privacy and quiet. Very clean. Was able to read and write undisturbed and then take breaks by walking into town. I recommend the buffalo milk ice cream you can pay for at the market’s checkout line and then pick up at the cheese counter. Great communication with the owner. A perfect getaway rental for individual or couple.

The cottage was lovely. Nanci provided thoughtful extras like coffee and clean towels halfway through our four night stay which made it extra nice. The cottage was spotless and she left clear instructions re wifi and the hot tub. Overall it was a great stay and we would highly recommend Nanci’s cottage!

Sublime nature getaway!

My wife and I had an amazing four nights at the cottage, Nancy was a great host attentive and the cottage was absolutely cozy comfortable with the fireplace and the hot tub which was absolutely clean and perfect. The flowers in the garden are so beautiful. It's within walking distance to the meadery which is very recommendable you can bring your own food and have a glass of champagne style mead the folks were really friendly. We went to the palace market every day for basic supplies and more definitely suggest the Buffalo ice cream. All the restaurants were fantastic The only thing is Wednesday nights are really quiet so if you're planning a dinner make sure you go early. We would definitely recommend this cottage and look forward to staying again we had a lovely time. Michael Gardner Novato California

Lovely cottage in a quiet neighborhood. The only sounds at night were the wind and the owls. It was nice to sit outside in the hot tub at night after a long hike. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Kain

Host profile image
Owners have lived in and loved the Point Reyes National Seashore area for 38 years, and continue to marvel at the extraordinary beauty, wildlife, ocean, bay and forest. We have lived on the property in the other dwelling for 25 years. We enjoy the interesting rural, agricultural, fishing and artistic community and people who make up the area of West Marin. We commute to our jobs each day. We completed construction of the new house in January, 2015. We think we live in Paradise, so we want to share this feeling with others.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because of the lifestyle required to live in a wilderness area, and being 40 miles from metropolitan San Francisco. Not exactly 'off the grid', but similar - stacking wood and making fires for heat; gardening and growing our own food and eggs; playing and working outdoors; home made cooking vs fast food; sharing life's joys and burdens with close friends and neighbors; loving the libraries and live theatre, music, and dance. We love outdoor adventure and wilderness and wanted to raise our children in the sheer spiritual dimensions of this wilderness area and the hard work and creativity required to live here. And then there's the Point Reyes National Seashore: ocean, bay, lagoon, estero, forests, meadows, beaches, wild life, birds, creeks, rivers, trails. We moved here because we spent every weekend here when we lived in Oakland and SF. The rolling green hills with cows grazing fall gently into the creeks and radically become cliffs over the ocean. Either place the sunshine sparkles on the water before it dramatically sets. The gentle breezes relax our whole being along with the exquisite beauty. Prior to living here, we travelled here to visit the pristine beaches, the famous Point Reyes Lighthouse, hike and bike through Bear Valley and to explore Tomales Bay. The new house we built is pristinely clean and new, with all new furniture and appliances, a beautiful and comfortable spot to spend your weekend or week. You have total privacy with your own sparkling new hot tub. It's a lovely place with lovely surrounds, and close to all outdoor adventures and secret getaways.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property because it was close to downtown Point Reyes, but absolutely quiet and peaceful and near the National Seashore. It was a half acre of grass and wild blackberries, and still is in many ways. The seasonal pond is long gone, but still the ducks and birds fly around the yard as if they remember, many generations later! We love the full sun AND wind protection, allowing us to enjoy the outdoors year-round, and the stunning views of the Inverness Ridge and Tomales Bay at the end of our road. The "back path" is our private short cut to downtown, walking next to Tomasini Creek. (Just come out of the cottage gate and turn left down the street. Follow the road down to the end where it swings left and go to the end of the cul-de-sac where there is a low, green utility box with an antler on it showing the “trail.” ) The front porch views of gardens, trees, and the ridge, along with the black and starry night sky or watching the winter storms roll in are experiences that will ease your mind and enliven your senses. Having the comforts of WIFI will keep you connected while finding yourself in the beauty of a small village.
