Guest access:
The home is set up for self check-in. Guests can access the home via lockbox and will have access to the entire cottage.
Other things to note:
1. Confirmed guests will receive a local "Insider's Guide". We're a family business deeply connected to our community, and we hope you'll enjoy and respect this beautiful corner of the world while supporting our local economy sustainably. We love sharing it with our guests!
2. The home is professionally cleaned with eco-friendly products.
3. No chores for our guests! That’s what the cleaning fee is for, right? We have a fantastic team of housekeepers, some of whom have worked with us for over 10 years. We fully clean each home top to bottom, fully restocking all amenities, replacing worn-out items, and keeping things fresh and pleasant for our guests. We use top-notch cleaning products without annoying scents or chemicals, and our cleaners are paid living wages because they are the backbone of what we do and you’ll appreciate their attention to detail.
4. Absolutely no parties or loud/late-night gatherings. We have neighbors nearby on both sides who are noise-sensitive. Please respect the serenity of the neighborhood. If you're looking for a place to cut loose and laugh and play music late into the night, we have other homes nearby that are more appropriate. Please ask us for alternative accommodation and we’d be happy to help find a place!
5. No pets at this stay.
**Please ensure you read the house rules and comply before booking.**
Guest interaction:
The property is set up for contactless entry. We are a local company that manages the property. We're just 15 minutes away, and our office is in Point Reyes Station. We're here 7 days a week to answer your questions or address any issues, usually within an hour, even on weekends and holidays.
Neighborhood:
The cottage is located northwest of the village of Marshall, ideally situated on the East shore of Tomales Bay, making for a great place to watch the sunset! Easily walk, bike, or drive to countless hiking/biking trails and nature attractions. The nearby towns of Inverness, Point Reyes, and Olema offer gourmet restaurants and markets with local organic produce, artisanal food, oysters, and wine.
Must-sees that are just minutes away:
*The famous Hog Island Oyster Company
*Upscale dining at Nick’s Cove Restaurant & Bar
*The Marshall Store & Deli with adjacent Blue Water Kayak rentals and tours
*A short distance further south is the famous Tony’s Seafood Restaurant
*The CowGirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station - witness cheese-making and procure fresh ingredients. Enjoy a meal back at the cottage, a picnic on their grounds, or take your lunch to a secluded beach or hiking trail in Point Reyes National Seashore.
Getting around:
Free parking on the premises.
Outside quiet time begins after sunset. This home is in a very quiet neighborhood and sound travels at night. Out of respect for our neighbors and the home-sharing community, please do not abuse this. You can hang out inside after dark and laugh all night, but not outside where the sound will carry throughout our happy little valley and most certainly annoy our neighbors.
No additional guests without prior approval. This is not the place for parties or gatherings, if that's what you're looking for, contact us, we manage other homes nearby that might work better for you.
Guests are responsible for any damages or charges incurred by them during their stay.
Have fun, be respectful, alert us right away if something is broken or amiss.
Note: We reserve the right to enforce charges via the Airbnb Resolutions Center for damages or unreasonable use of listing utilities. Abuse of house amenities may result in post-reservation charges equal to the value of costs incurred. By booking our listing, you agree to these terms and all other house rules.
No animals. If you simply must bring your pet, we can refer you to one of our other properties which welcomes dogs. Violation of either of this rule will incur a minimum $500 cleaning fee.
Other than that, we're easy and will assume that you'll be respectful and responsible.
Thanks!
