About this property

Charming Point Reyes Cottage with Decks and Lovely Garden

4 PERSON MAXIMUM - NO EXCEPTIONS. STRICTLY ENFORCED.
NO PETS
———-
The Robin's Nest is a cottage home surrounded by decks and a lovely flower garden and located in the heart of the Point Reyes National Seashore.

The Robin's Nest was built as a hunting and fishing retreat in the 1920's when people came to the area by boat, train and stage coach. It is located in a residential area overlooking Tomales Bay in a sun belt. It is 3 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore headquarters and the park trail system. It is 2 miles from the town of Point Reyes Station which is the regional center(although only has a population of 500) with restaurants, an excellent grocery store and various shops. The Point Reyes lighthouse is approximately 15 miles out to the coast and provides an excellent vantage point where the whales pass by twice a year .

Inverness Park and the Robin's Nest are 38 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge so it is readily accessible to San Francisco. Because it is located in the National Seashore and along the coast line, it is in a protected zone so the surroundings are rural even though so close to the urban attractions of the Bay Area.

The house has a living room, dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms and two baths. A third bedroom and bath are located in a separate smaller building behind the main house. The two buildings are totally surrounded by approximately 900 square feet of decking which allows for taking full advantage of the outdoors.

There is a sauna and one of the bathrooms in the main house has a steam bath, so getting the ache out after a long run or hike is no problem.

The house is well equipped with a gas grill, TV (with cable tv) WiFi , and comfortable furniture and art work reflecting the Latin American travels of the owners. The kitchen has necessary cooking equipment, a self cleaning electric stove and basic cooking condiments.

The house is heated by a Vermont castings wood burning stove and there is plenty of fire wood. Electric heaters are available to supplement the wood stove while it heats up.

Great long weekend
We had a lovely stay at Robins Nest. This is a real house with lots of nice art on the walls and thoughtful furnishings, not a bare bones place. We appreciated Grace’s detailed instructions and trust. Recommended!

Excellent cottage in Inverness/Pt Reyes
My wife and I and our adult daughters had a wonderful stay at the charming Robin's Nest. Lovely, homey, well decorated cottage with beautiful garden and sauna to boot. The hosts were clear about the check in and check out process and the property details. Location is great, for access to Pt Reyes National Seashore as well as the quaint West Marin villages of Inverness and Pt Reyes Station. I hope to stay there again

Good vibes and weather
A big storm passed the day before we arrived. We had good communication with Grace who was very flexible to our needs. The place as always was a quiet and lovely place. Great steam bath too.

Hiking getaway with friends
From the first moment we entered Robin's Nest, we realized it was a special place. Beautiful gardens and fruit trees outside and inside, the house is cozy, decoratively appointed and colorful. Lots of sitting, well appointed kitchen and very comfortable beds. Quiet house in a beautiful setting.

Robins Nest
Point Reyes area is such a treasure and Robins Nest did not disappoint. Such a wonderful old (but cared for) property! I spite of a minor check in snafu ( which Grace effectively assisted with) we were very comfortable. The rooms, gardens, sauna amazing!!! Perhaps a better coffee maker?? But otherwise highly recommended!! Thank you again!

Great stay!
Our stay at the Point Reyes station was very enjoyable. The house is charming, well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes etc. The decor is lovely and probably reflects the owners travels. The view from the front porch and patio (and garden!) is very nice. Only one slight negative is that the smaller bedroom has a narrow shower. While it was not a problem for our friends who were in that room, a larger sized guest could have an issue.Otherwise, we wished we were staying longer!

Dreamy spot for a weekend getaway
I stayed at the Robin’s nest with my husband, toddler, and good friend, and we all had an incredible time. The grownups enjoyed the art, gorgeous views, and the steam shower, while we all enjoyed birdwatching and the beautiful garden. Lovely house, lovely location, I hope to come back!

Perfect escape to natural beauty yet easy to reach from SFO
This cottage is easy to reach yet feels like a true getaway to a beautiful site with lots of hikes. We spent a Thanksgiving weekend exploring the natural parks (state and national) while making a wonderful meal, with ingredients supplied by excellent local shops, in a beautifully appointed and super comfortable country cottage.

Lovely place to stay!
We felt at home here and enjoyed everything from the quality of the sheets on the comfy beds to the milk frother in the well equipped kitchen. The feel of the place is warm and welcoming thanks in part to the art the owner has chosen for the cottage. Lovely hills views and close to Inverness. Highly recommend.
