The first-floor studio in our two-story guest house is remodeled with high-end finishes. Sunny outdoor patio awaits and shared sunset overlook; generous space for two people to enjoy!
The space
Secluded & sunny Mid-Century Modern guest house. Newly remodeled, large room with a luxurious Tuft and Needle Mint queen size mattress, premium linens and newly remodeled bathroom with very large shower.
Towels and linens are provided. Microwave and refrigerator included as well as complimentary coffee/tea and light healthy snacks. A small dining table with two chairs for your convenience. Heated pool and Red Cedar Sauna available for your use!
15 minute walk to China Camp State Park, mountain biking, hiking, lots of wild-life. 20 min drive to Golden Gate bridge and San Francisco. Native California trees at your footsteps mixed with fig, pomegranate and lemon trees await you!
Pool available for use (shared with other two-person guest unit and property owners) when it isn't raining (it typically only rains in Nov-May in NorCal :). We have solar heat activated for pool in the May - November. We can heat the pool for an additional fee, just inquire. The pool is not suitable for children and infants for safety reasons and depth.
Guest access
Tucked at the end of a private road with full privacy yet minutes from the highway for easy access to the city. Also a great starting point to the wine country.
There are two buildings on each edge of the property separated by a large yard in between. The first is your charming guest house, the second is the house where we live. Guests are welcome to use that outdoor yard fully, as well as the private patio.
Guests are also welcome to use the beautiful cedarwood gas-fired sauna, heated pool and our medicinal herbal garden to brew their own herbal tea for the perfect relaxation retreat!
Other things to note
China Camp State Park (mountain biking heaven) and historic park/beaches, Muir Woods National Monument, Point Reyes National Seashore, west Marin oyster farms, Mount Tam hiking trails and beautiful Marin beaches are nearby.
We have security cameras on the property pointed at the driveway and front yard/entry.
Safe, ample street parking is available at the bottom; just park and walk up a short gravel path (less than 30 seconds uphill) to access the property.
This is a lower studio unit in a two-story, two-unit building; there may be guests staying in the unit above. There was modern, heavy-duty sound-proofing added between the two units so that the only sound that may travel between is if someone wears hard shoes (we ask everyone to remove shoes).

This was a first for us where there were crazy amounts of rules and regulations posted everywhere!!!! Made us feel like we were being babysat. We booked for the pool but couldn’t even use it because your can’t if it rains or “predicted” to rain. Plus host made such a big deal about the 20k cover. Furthermore, the pool is solar powered which is not enough to properly heat it in the Bay Area weather!
The views are amazing though. The place was clean. Most everything is provided including coffee. Host does send you long list of recommendations for the area (food/activities) which we utilized and enjoyed.
Your stay will be in one of two bedrooms: downstairs or upstairs. Host lives across on the other side. So your not completely alone. Hope this honest review helps.

We had a lovely two-night getaway in the North Bay, enjoyed a couple of hikes in the redwoods and at the Golden Gate Bridge, and relaxed and blissed out in the sauna and pool after. Eli and Adam were very responsive to my texts and went out of their way to make sure the pool was good to go after all the rain storms we have had in California. The place is clean but small, perfect for a quick trip for one or two people. The bed was very comfortable and there were complimentary snacks and coffee. Dinners at locally recommended Vin Atico and Sol Food nearby in downtown San Rafael were wonderful. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay.
