About this property

Cottage Nestled Away in Point Reyes Village

The cottage is freshly built and is nestled away in the back of a property located in one of the Point Reyes village rural neighborhoods. Taking the raised pathway to the house, it feels like you have entered your own secret garden and are far away, yet you are less than a mile from downtown Point Reyes village and shops. Without getting back into your car, you can walk down the easy back trail right into town.

Immaculate kitchen with huge granite island that spans the great room for easy cooking, conversation, and Netflix movies. Blender, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and French coffee press, wine and other glasses, all dishes, pots & pans. Fridge and sink provide filtered water. Fridge icemaker and water easily accessed on front panel. Two beds: a new queen in the bedroom, twin daybed in the living room.

Large covered front porch for morning coffee or spectacular sunset views over Inverness Ridge - rain or shine. House is surrounded by grass and gardens with views all around. It sits near a former seasonal pond that is long gone, but still the ducks and birds fly around the yard as if they remember. The sunny location allows for enjoyment of the outdoors year-round. Sitting on the porch, or in the hot tub, under the black and starry night sky or watching the winter storms roll in are experiences that will ease your mind and enliven your senses. Having the comforts of WIFI and phone will keep you connected while finding yourself in the beauty of a small village.

The house is completely independent from the other dwelling on the property and is set apart with zen-like privacy screens. Guests have their own parking space. Smoking and pets are not allowed. House is located just 3.5 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore visitor center where you can get information regarding the beaches, bay, lagoon, estero, forests, meadows, wild life, birds, creeks, rivers, trails. Lighthouse just 30 minute drive. Close to fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, wine tasting, photographing. Experience the wilderness beauty - rolling green hills and ocean cliffs with sunshine sparkling on the water and dramatic sunsets.

Wonderful Cottage

Nancy's cottage is even better than the pictures. It's roomy with a well stocked kitchen and filtered water. She had a tea pot and coffee maker. We enjoyed the cozy fire pit. The hot tub is great after hiking at Pt. Reyes! The day bed is in its own room and is comfortable. I would definitely book this cottage again.

Quiet cottage near town

Comfortable cottage with a full kitchen in a very quiet neighborhood. We love staying here. This is a great location from which to enjoy the immense Point Reyes National Seashore. The super quiet cottage (behind a house) is located within walking distance or a short drive to the tiny town of Point Reyes Station, with its shops and several cafes. In town, we enjoyed an art show inside Toby’s Feed Barn and visited Point Reyes Books, both gems! Beautiful easy drives from the cottage to all the great hiking in the area.

Getaway Christmas

For the second year in a row we enjoyed a quiet Christmas in this cottage. Hiking on trails in the point Reyes National Seashore, walking into town for shopping, dining at the Station House once and preparing our own meals in the cottage the rest of the time.

Relaxing Get-Away

We have stayed in this cottage several times before. We always hope it will be available when we want a coast get-away. It is quiet, well appointed, very clean, and comfortable. Nancy is welcoming and helpful. It will continue to be our first choice when visiting the Pt. Reyes area.

Pt Reyes weekend

Very nice private cottage and good location for a get away to Pt Reyes. Easy walk to town and easy drives to beaches and hiking and restaurants. Cottage was clean and quiet in a neighborhood away from traffic. Being able to walk to town on a ‘hidden’ pathway was a plus!

Pretty and peaceful

Lovely stay. Surprisingly large cottage with lots of privacy and quiet. Very clean. Was able to read and write undisturbed and then take breaks by walking into town. I recommend the buffalo milk ice cream you can pay for at the market’s checkout line and then pick up at the cheese counter. Great communication with the owner. A perfect getaway rental for individual or couple.

A relaxing stay in the country

This was a wonderful private stay yet minutes from restaurants. It is a bird paradise. The cottage has everything to make a stay comfortable- full kitchen. I am not computer savvy and could not operate the TV or WiFi or hot tub but the beauty of the property and proximity to trails kept me busy. GREAT PLACE TO SIT AND READ.

Pt Reyes Station stay

Cozy, quiet property, close enough to town or a nice walk, but just enough away to feel pleasantly secluded. Clean, comfy, very enjoyable stay. Made it easy for our trip (doing some research in conjunction with UC and NPS projects).

Wonderful get-away

We’ve stayed at this gem of a cottage before and we will return. It is always extremely clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The location is convenient to the great outdoors and Pt Reyes Station. When we want a get-away to the ocean, from the mountains where we live, we will return.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Kain

Host profile image
Owners have lived in and loved the Point Reyes National Seashore area for 38 years, and continue to marvel at the extraordinary beauty, wildlife, ocean, bay and forest. We have lived on the property in the other dwelling for 25 years. We enjoy the interesting rural, agricultural, fishing and artistic community and people who make up the area of West Marin. We commute to our jobs each day. We completed construction of the new house in January, 2015. We think we live in Paradise, so we want to share this feeling with others.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because of the lifestyle required to live in a wilderness area, and being 40 miles from metropolitan San Francisco. Not exactly 'off the grid', but similar - stacking wood and making fires for heat; gardening and growing our own food and eggs; playing and working outdoors; home made cooking vs fast food; sharing life's joys and burdens with close friends and neighbors; loving the libraries and live theatre, music, and dance. We love outdoor adventure and wilderness and wanted to raise our children in the sheer spiritual dimensions of this wilderness area and the hard work and creativity required to live here. And then there's the Point Reyes National Seashore: ocean, bay, lagoon, estero, forests, meadows, beaches, wild life, birds, creeks, rivers, trails. We moved here because we spent every weekend here when we lived in Oakland and SF. The rolling green hills with cows grazing fall gently into the creeks and radically become cliffs over the ocean. Either place the sunshine sparkles on the water before it dramatically sets. The gentle breezes relax our whole being along with the exquisite beauty. Prior to living here, we travelled here to visit the pristine beaches, the famous Point Reyes Lighthouse, hike and bike through Bear Valley and to explore Tomales Bay. The new house we built is pristinely clean and new, with all new furniture and appliances, a beautiful and comfortable spot to spend your weekend or week. You have total privacy with your own sparkling new hot tub. It's a lovely place with lovely surrounds, and close to all outdoor adventures and secret getaways.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property because it was close to downtown Point Reyes, but absolutely quiet and peaceful and near the National Seashore. It was a half acre of grass and wild blackberries, and still is in many ways. The seasonal pond is long gone, but still the ducks and birds fly around the yard as if they remember, many generations later! We love the full sun AND wind protection, allowing us to enjoy the outdoors year-round, and the stunning views of the Inverness Ridge and Tomales Bay at the end of our road. The "back path" is our private short cut to downtown, walking next to Tomasini Creek. (Just come out of the cottage gate and turn left down the street. Follow the road down to the end where it swings left and go to the end of the cul-de-sac where there is a low, green utility box with an antler on it showing the “trail.” ) The front porch views of gardens, trees, and the ridge, along with the black and starry night sky or watching the winter storms roll in are experiences that will ease your mind and enliven your senses. Having the comforts of WIFI will keep you connected while finding yourself in the beauty of a small village.
