Bayglow: Where the Water Meets the Sky, and Time Slows Down
Welcome to Bayglow – a serene waterfront sanctuary nestled along the quiet edge of Tomales Bay, within the heart of Point Reyes National Seashore.
Here, each day begins with birdsong and the hush of morning light over the water, and ends in the soft golden glow that gives Bayglow its name.
Surrounded by lush private gardens and wraparound decks, the cottage invites you to unwind into stillness. Soak in the hot tub under a canopy of stars, dine outdoors with the bay as your backdrop, or simply sit and watch as herons glide, seals surface, and otters play just beyond your doorstep.
Though it feels a world away, Bayglow is just a short stroll to Hog Island Oyster Company and Blue Waters Kayak rentals. The nearby towns of Inverness, Point Reyes Station, Olema, and Tomales offer warm welcomes, local flavor, and timeless charm.
With Tomales Bay Park, Point Reyes, and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area all close by, Bayglow is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythms of the wild.
