About this property

Sunny, Updated House a Block from Pt. Reyes Nat'l Seashore

This small, light-filled house is on a level lot with a completely fenced back yard, with wooden deck, barbecue and lots of roses. The living-dining-kitchen area has peaked ceilings, an open floor plan and a wall of windows to the back yard and a gas stove-fireplace. There is another deck by the front door to catch the late afternoon sun.

Walk out the front door and turn west onto the quiet, virtually traffic-free dirt roads of the Bolinas' 'Big Mesa.' In two short blocks you are at the southern border of Pt. Reyes National Seashore -- a huge, grassy meadow leading from a horse ranch over the the bluffs above the Pacific (on a clear day you can see the Farallones). Or walk a few blocks south to overlook the surfers off Bolinas and Stinson Beach and to San Francisco and Devil's Slide further south, and then continue down the road to town and the beaches.

Stinson beach??

The property was great. Cute & clean little house. The location was not so great. I didn’t know the area as good as I thought. That’s my fault. It’s quite the drive to get to this house. Very remote.

Quiet Getaway

A comfortable accommodation, close to Pt.Reyes, Stinson Beach, and hiking trails. Bolinas Loop Trail was a favorite. We enjoyed star gazing in the evening and morning coffee on the deck.

What a lovely little find!

We had such a great time at this little cottage….private, quiet, well set up. Dogs LOVED the large, fenced, secure backyard. They could not stop exploring. Nice patio area for dining any time of day. Had to contact owners regarding a minor blip and they were very responsive and great to deal with. Thank you for sharing your get away home with us!

Lovely house, property, and location

This lovely house and yard was perfect for our needs: clean, cheerfully decorated, more spacious than anticipated, with a large fenced yard that accommodated canine Zoomies & Fetch. The owners' instructions were clear and easy to follow. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, the comfortable beds and linens. Everything we needed, plus beauty and quiet. Thank you! We hope to return.

Yoga retreat

My friend and I had a yoga training in Point Reyes. This home was a great place to be out of the city with patio and spacious backyard. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the gear we needed for our stay. It was dark and quiet at night which offered a blissful night’s sleep. Thanks for such a homey place to stay.

Beautiful retreat

It was mostly rainy, yet the nature let us walk twice to Bass lake and Alamere falls, everything is so green and fresh. And since the early winter sunset till late sunrise the home provided us with all the comfort and quietude. Many thanks to our hosts, Hilary and Don. Happy New Year!

Lovely stay

The home is bright and airy. The owners generously allowed us to check in early, which we greatly appreciated, as we had two kitties traveling with us. The home is a little older-looking than we had expected but was very comfortable. We don't like to leave our cats at home during fire season and were very pleased the owners let us bring them with us!! There were plenty of dishes and the beds were very comfortable!

Cozy Get Away

This was a very cozy, bright home. It was very clean and the bedrooms were quite spacious. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck. It’s in a very peaceful and quiet area and we especially enjoyed peering at the night stars.

Clean and Quiet

Sweet little house with all the things you need to be comfy. Nice kitchen and equipment, you can really cook here or take advantage of local restaurants and markets, there is a dishwasher and plenty of easy to use and stack dishes so you can go 2-4 days and run a load. The beds are super comfy and there are extra comforters and blankets and plenty of bath and dish towels. Nice private backyard, tables and chairs scattered around so you can catch the sun enjoy happy hour and let your pup (and you) have some freedom in the securely fenced space. The two gas heaters can get thing warmed up nicely in a reasonable amount of time. Great access to the outdoors and lovely walks. This area is rustic, not shiny and flashy but so quiet at night. The owners were lovely to communicate with. We will be back.

Had a great stay, perfect location and great setting. Fog and sun, loved it. Recommend Coast Cafe downtown Bolinas. Owners are great, we accidentally left something there, they notified us immediately and we were able to retrieve it easily. Hope to return!

A Charming Getaway

This is a charming property in a unique neighborhood on a dirt road. Very well-appointed. We loved the location, even though it was not near a beach, because we could visit both Point Reyes and Stinson Beach easily. The yard is very pleasant, and we appreciated the butterflies, hummingbirds and blue grouse that visited.

Wonderful stay

This property is great for a couple or a small group. It was very clean and well stocked. The bed and bedding were particularly comfortable. It's located on the Mesa, a very special neighborhood in Bolinas. I recommend it to anyone who loves Bolinas and appreciates the special charm of la Mesa

Fully fenced and lovely backyard in funky Bolinas. Spare but well-appointed and comfortable cottage. Unpaved streets. Very quiet! Short drive to major nature attractions. Owners were easy to communicate with. We will stay here again!
