The Boathouse was perfect for our family’s stay. It was an easy drive to San Fran, Muir Woods, Pt Reyes, Napa, Sonoma, and other attractions in the Bay area. The location on the marsh really makes you feel like you are on vacation away from the crowds. The Boathouse was spotlessly clean, with a well-stocked kitchen, a big bathroom and a large bedroom/living space. The attached deck with large table, lots of chairs, lights and ping pong table (so fun!) doubles the useable space. Check-in, access and communication were so easy. As mentioned in the description, you do have to walk down 2 full flights of stairs to reach the property, but there is also a paved driveway that you can walk down, which was easier with our wheeled luggage. We will definitely stay here again!!
