Just lovely

This was the perfect spot for a mini-family reunion. The home and property are beautiful, beautifully maintained, comfortable, well equipped and stocked, and close to the stunning natural beauty of Marin. We saw elk and mating and birthing elephant seals at Point Reyes and got chills hearing the coyotes at night.

Beautiful spot for a friends' getaway

Our group of 8 women had a wonderful weekend here, and took full advantage of the well-stocked kitchen, huge dining room table, comfortable gathering spots for chatting, updated bathrooms and lots of bedroom choices. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the full moon rising and the outdoor spaces as well.

Wonderful vacation home

I stayed at the farmhouse with a group of 7 adult hikers. Everyone in the group was absolutely thrilled with the property. The house is spacious, laid out well, and very homey. The interior is nicely furnished and the kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals and dining. The grounds are nicely landscaped and deer roam the upper reaches of the property. I would definitely recommend this house for larger groups, and my group has already asked me to rent it again for next year’s trip. The town of Bolinas is also very unique. There are some nice shops, a well-stocked grocery store, and an excellent restaurant. Two minor recommendations: 1. Put a sleep sofa or rollaway bed in the downstairs study for extra sleep space and privacy. 2. Provide wine glasses

Wonderful!

We’ve stayed at BoHouse several times and the experience never disappoints. We love the art, the books, the mix of old and new furnishings that reflects a certain beachy Northern California vibe that is both stylish and laidback. The hot tub rocks. Rope swing for the kids and the steps to the top of the hill for ocean views just send it. Many memories have been made here… we hope to have many more over the years. The only problem is… we never want to leave! Thanks BoHouse! We love you!!!

A nook for everyone

This was our fourth stay at the Bo House. We are a multi generational group and we all love the house. In addition to its perfect location and proximity to the beach and town, we so enjoy the house itself. There is always the perfect place to recreate, play games, catch a nap, read in peace or gather and party. We all appreciate the casual but very tasteful style. Thank you Bo Jouse!!

A gem of a farmhouse

We were in awe as we arrived, even before entering. The yard is stunning with fruit trees and flowering bushes, the huge decks are inviting, checkin was easy. The house was the perfect size for 11of us. We old folks had our room downstairs next to the incredible bathroom. The next senior slept in the downstairs den. The young man had his cottage up the hill. The 3 giggly girls the bunk room, and the rest had what they needed including space for doing computer work. Plenty of space, so not to get into anyone’s way. Easy walk thru town and along the beach for surfing and playing . We do this every summer, the farmhouse was the most perfect so far, well stocked with beach towels, games, music instruments and kitchen everythings. Thanx for sharing this amazing historic home.

Perfect Location for Family Gathering

This spot was perfect for a family gathering, accommodating ages from 2 to 70. It was our first visit to Bolinas, and we were charmed by this delightful town with its organic farm stands, local markets, a top-notch restaurant, and more. A scenic loop walk from the house takes you through town, along the beach, and back home. If you're visiting Bolinas, this house is exceptional. It has ample space for a large group, and the spacious dining room was perfect for hosting meals and games. The kitchen was well stocked, including sharp knives - a rarity in rental properties. The living room's comfy sofas were ideal for napping after a day at the beach, while the hot tub was just what we needed after spending time on the sand. The yard behind the kitchen was a great spot for bocce games. Nature lovers in our group loved the quail, hummingbirds, deer, and raccoons on the property. We loved it so much we hope to return next year.

Fabulous Family Get-Away

This is a beautiful house and a beautiful property! We enjoyed the amazing native ( mostly) plant garden and all the birds it attracts. We walked to downtown Bolinas for smoothies and drove to beautiful trailheads leading to a tide pool beach, Muir Woods and views of the ocean. We were here for the Miwok100 trail race and it was ideal for our family/friend group. The Manager was very helpful and accommodating when we had questions or needs. We all loved staying here!

Amazing Home -- Absolutely recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. We were four adults (my husband, sister and her husband) and three teens (17, 15, 13) to enjoy a weekend away. The house is just as described -- beautiful and so much space to relax, enjoy one another's company and play games. Stacked with books and cozy furniture, we very much enjoyed our time, evevn thought it was rainy all weekend! Beds are comfortable and everything is clean. Kitchen was well-stocked and we cooked most meals here. A short walk to the lovely town of Bolinas and the beach. Absolutely recommend and will definitely return if we are in the area.

Wonderful Stay

The house is large and comfortable and sufficiently divided to give everyone some space without feeling distant or isolating. The property is magnificent with trees that must be centuries old and trails abound with beautiful views. The house is a very short walk to both grocers and a liquor store; another few minutes to the beach, and a short drive to another beach with cliff-side trail. Unlike Stinson, Bolinas has maintained its small-commune atmosphere. Even though we stood out with seven children, the townspeople were very kind and friendly, albeit many were eccentric as most denizens of west Marin seem to be. It is a very beautiful place and one everyone should visit at some point.
