About this house rental

Frank's Place on Inverness Ridge is a charming Point Reyes rental home with panoramic bay views. With spacious living and sleeping areas, wifi and an outdoor hot tub, it's the perfect lodging for families on a Point Reyes adventure or couples seeking a secluded and romantic getaway.

The natural setting is spectacular, with lush surrounding forest giving way to open vistas and rough-and-tumble rhododendron gardens. Here on the ridge nights are dark and quiet, and mornings are beautiful whether drenched in clear light or sheathed in fog. Birds are abundant, including resident Pileated Woodpeckers and many others changing with the seasons. Ravens and hawks ride the winds out over the canyon. Scan the gardens or the meadow below and you may see deer, or even a fox or bobcat.

This classic Inverness style home was designed and built by local architect Jim Campe in 1986. The living room, bedrooms, decks and hot tub all face out over forested parkland to Tomales Bay and the hills beyond. In the main living area wood and tile floors and high, beamed ceilings create an expansive and elegant atmosphere, while clearstory windows capture the afternoon sun. Just down the hall, the carpeted master suite features a king-size bed and large private bathroom with two sinks, giant tub and walk-in shower.

Downstairs are two additional bedrooms with a shared second bathroom. A queen-size bed and TV in one of the bedrooms make it great for a second couple. The other is just right for kids, with two twin beds. A large inflatable mattress and porta-crib are also available if needed. Step out onto the downstairs porch to access the private hot tub.

An additional office room upstairs includes a sofa/daybed that can be made up for yet another sleeping option. WiFi from a cable Internet connection is available throughout, and there's a small computer in the office if you didn't bring your laptop. Cable TV is present upstairs and down, as well as a stereo system in the living room. CDs, games, puzzles, art and many books are here for your enjoyment.

If you're a veteran Point Reyes visitor you probably already have your own list of favorite hikes, beaches and activities--but we'll be happy to offer some suggestions! If you are new to the area you'll be amazed by the beauty and diversity of the Point Reyes National Seashore landscape, and charmed by the small but culturally rich towns of Inverness and Point Reyes Station. Fine dining at any of several great restaurants, delectable treats and coffee at the Bovine Bakery , and a wealth of local, organic and artisan food products are all just minutes away. Be sure to save some time for browsing the local shops and galleries.

Frank's Place is new to the Inverness and Point Reyes vacation rental market, but we are experienced rental owners with a property in Kona, Hawaii that we have been managing for many years. Our local innkeeper is just two doors down, and will ensure that everything is just right for your arrival.

We’ve been vacationing in Inverness over the past 18 years. Frank’s Place is our go to place to stay and our family has come to think of it as our home away from home. So many great memories made over the years. It’s a lovely home and I’m amazed at its versatility. It very comfortably accommodates everyone from as young as toddlers to seniors. The home has a fair amount of stairs, so maybe not suited for those for mobility challenges, but our 83 year old grandpa managed just fine. We will continue to come to Frank’s Place and are so grateful to Scott for sharing his slice of heaven.

Frank's place was the perfect spot for 3 generations to be together...from the beautiful surroundings, proximity to point reyes seashore, to the comfortable accommodations, and wealth of books and games ( not to mention the hot tub), we thoroughly enjoyed our stay...the only thing that would have made it even better, would have been a few less twists and turns up the road!!! Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

Frank's Place is the perfect place to stay if you want a home base for Point Reyes area adventures or if you just want a quiet getaway. We had big hiking plans that were thwarted by rain, but we didn't mind too much because the house was so inviting and cozy. Beautiful and comfortable retro furnishings, a roaring fire, even listening to birds and taking in the nature all around from a warm hot tub in the rain. The owners and innkeeper were kind and available if we needed anything, but we were all set. The house was well-stocked with pantry essentials, books, DVDs, games. and the owners provided detailed instructions about how everything worked. We can't wait to visit again.

We loved Frank's Place so much we're thinking about making it our home away from home. Our stay was perfect...from the homey comfort and conveniences to the scenic beauty and proximity to our favorite places, we can't wait to come back. Kitsy is a gem of a property manager...very responsive and caring. Thanks for making Frank's Place so special!
