This property is lovely and charming. Art everywhere, a beautiful handmade feel, but also as comfortable as any 5 star hotel. Highly recommended for those who want a true Bolinas experience.

Lots to see in the house. A very interesting place. Some spaces a little tight for us (both over 6ft tall).

As we were getting close to Bolinas, the host texted us to report that her husband was at the hospital with a medical emergency and that she had therefore been unable to prepare the cottage for us. She suggested that we postpone our trip for a day, which would have been impossible to fit into our schedules and also wouldn’t have worked because the purpose of the trip was to celebrate my wife’s birthday, in addition to the fact that we had already driven most of the way to Bolinas. Based on the host’s description of the issues with the cottage, we told her that we would stay at the cottage as planned and we proceeded to go there. When we arrived at 4:30, we found that the beds weren’t made and, more importantly, that much of the cottage was filthy, particularly the kitchen and bathroom. We started to clean the place, but there was too much to do and in some cases we didn’t know what was clean or dirty. At 4:44, we asked the host whether the towels in the bathroom were clean. When we didn’t hear back for more than two hours, we informed the host at 6:50 that we were leaving and that we expected a full refund. At 7:10, after we were on the road and had already booked a new place, the host offered to come by to clean the cottage, but by then it was too late. The host initially refused to provide a refund (except for the cleaning fee) and ultimately agreed to a refund only after a long, unpleasant argument while we were trying to eat dinner at a restaurant.

We were very much looking forward to our stay. The "hobbit" house (self proclaimed) was a perfect get away from the city. The house was clean and cozy. What we weren't expecting was 1) issues with the propane heater that caused us to question whether we were dealing with some type of gas leak (my partner and I both woke up with extreme migraines and the dog vomited out of the blue) and 2) a lack of outlets but a concerning number of extension cords leading us to be worried of a safety hazard. To be fair, we did not contact the owners before we left, but we did email them as we were leaving, about 16 hours after we got there. I am sure that some people wouldn't mind the issues we found as problems, but it is important for renters to have all of the information.

If you want a perfect getaway in bolinas staying in a work of art. this is it.

Perfect place, perfect location, perfect size, perfect weather. What’s not to love?

Of course the location is perfect, the hosts gracious and welcoming and the fairytale magic is unique. Tiny and cozy, living in the dollhouse of our dream my sister and I enjoyed the unexpected luxury (heated toilet seat!) modern convenience automatic lights, plants and flowers…and BOlinas of course. My sister and I are small old ladies yet we used the outside stairs which are convenient. It’s like living on a boat.

Really unique and cozy stay! Loved how fun the layout of this cottage was and the location right in town and so close to the beach. Wasn’t able to get the outdoor soaking tub to get hot water on my last night, but the indoor tub was just as nice surrounded by all those plants! Be cognizant that if you’re a party or 2 + there are water restrictions, but I’d say for 1-2 people it would be perfect. Would definitely be happy to come back again :)
