Due to the pandemic we were looking for a place where we could vacation with the kids and have lots of amenities available on-site so that we did not have to go into public spaces too much. This property really delivered on all our expectations, and our family had a great time! Our kids enjoyed playing with the trampoline, swings, fire pit, and zip line. We also enjoyed the board games in the living room and all the children's books in the family room. We even went kayaking almost daily from the on-site dock. Our trip was in December so we did not get to take advantage of the pool, but the jacuzzi upstairs was wonderful. The views of the foothills/mountains from the upstairs balcony were amazing. Stacey and her family really took care of us during our stay. She was in daily communications with us regarding the house, and nearby amenities. Her family had thoroughly cleaned the place prior to our visit and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. Even though we were staying in their house and had never met them in person, Stacey made us feel like family guests the whole time we were there. There is a very informative binder with instructions for the various house amenities and guides for the area. Thank you again Stacey! We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to travel with their kids for its cleanliness and built-in entertainment options.

We wanted to take a vacation fairly close to home this year at a time when it's pretty challenging to travel at all. I didn't tell my kids anything about where we were going. When we arrived at the Kaplans' home and they saw where they were staying they were over the moon. Such a sunny, warm, welcoming space with activities packed into every corner - foosball, ping-pong, a zipline, a mini-beach, and yes, a pool! Felt like our own private villa. I personally enjoyed a 2-hour walk in the adjacent nature preserve as well as proximity to downtown Novato, and access to Marin's beautiful attractions like Pt. Reyes and Muir Woods - both within a half-hour drive. It was a perfect 5 days. We had a wonderful week and can't thank you enough!

Lovely country living house with inviting pool. Owners help make you feel like you’re a good friend staying at their home. Internet strength was mediocre at best initially. We hooked up our own eero to modem and were then able to attend meetings and classes throughout property no problem, even from the sand in backyard. Can’t wait to return.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very child friendly.

The house was so clean and neat! We loved our stay. We enjoyed BBQ by the pool which was so relaxing after a long day walking at San Francisco and the near by cities. It felt like a mini resort! Thank you for having us. Would definitely refer and stay here again.
