This was our second stay at Yvetot. The moment we walked up the path we breathed a relaxing sigh, knowing we are about to enter a special world. Yvetot delivered! The home is surrounded by many species of birds visible from the deck, and highlighted by Acorn Woodpeckers pecking holes in the trees nearby. The outdoor shower, watching the sunset from the hot tub, home cooked meals in the perfectly-outfitted kitchen, a great night’s sleep, and chats w/ the delightful owners, Katherine & Mike. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect escape from city life. And, we had fabulous hiking at our three favorite Pt. Reyes hikes, all w/ easy proximity to Yvetot. We can’t wait to return!

The beauty of place and the lovely cottage as well as the attentiveness of the host, made for a wonderful stay.

Truly one of the nicest spots on earth.

Such a great place, especially for our family with two young children. Great layout, easy access to the rest of the area, and just a beautiful location. Would come back again!

Yvetot was secluded and peaceful, everything we wanted. The hosts were incredibly kind and gracious. Wonderful!

Great!

This is the most special vacation rental home we have ever experienced (and I have traveled all around the world). The location up on a hill has a gorgeous view of the forest, hills, and birds. It reminded us of being at a mini Esalen or an eco-lodge in Costa Rica or Dominica. Mike was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host. My husband and I hope to return many times with our children over the years!

So happy to spend time at Yvetot again. It's the perfect spot to enjoy nature and rejuvenate. Already looking forward to the next time!

We come every year. The place is simply magical and Mike and Catherine are amazing hosts! Thank you as always!

Yvetot is just the kind of place we look for. Super quiet, private and has everything you need. The view is wonderful, the outdoor shower sublime and the hot tub.... WOW! Kitchen is fully supplied with all the trimmings. The main bed is very comfortable affording a good nights rest. We cooked up yummy salmon and chicken thighs on the Weber! The hosts are very welcoming and make you feel like part of the family. Can't WAIT to go back!

Our visit at Yvetot was just what we had imagined —an oasis away from city life with all the charm and beauty one could imagine. Mike and Catherine are great hosts

What a joy! The setting and the view, from the deck, are breathtaking. You could easily prepare meals in the well-appointed kitchen. Coffee in the fridge and even some spices. Bed was great, and heated floors. If you have a dog, don't miss the fire-trail. Catherine and Mike are respectful and helpful A+

We loved our stay. Views are amazing. Kitchen is stocked with all basic needs. Outside shower and hot tube are really nice after a day of hiking! There’s plenty of games for kids and adults. We’ll be back!

We just love Mike and Catherine’s beautiful guest home and have already booked our visit for next spring. Beautiful house, beautiful surroundings, solitude throughout — a little slice of paradise.

What an amazing little cabin in the woods! Everything is beautifully and lovingly handcrafted. The layout is perfect and we loved the deck (and the visiting deer), the kitchen (love the raw edge, handmade wood counter tops), the many window seats, and the surrounding environment. It's a real gem. Mike and Catherine were both wonderful hosts. We went on some spectacular hikes (so many wildflowers at Tomales Point Trail), did some stargazing, and appreciated the downtime away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. We can't wait to return.

We first stayed at Yvetot nearly ten years ago and have intended to return ever since then, but life has a tendency to get away from you. So glad we finally got a trip on the calendar—it’s just as wonderful as we remembered! This time we came with two tweens and a puppy in tow. It’s a great house for both kids and dogs, with a sweet loft room and plenty of toys and games. (Our 11-year-old had a blast recreating old photos of himself as a toddler playing in the house with some of the same toys on our first visit!) The house itself is skillfully designed for privacy and to capture the beauty of the surrounding area. We cooked most nights and found the kitchen well equipped. Inverness is nicely located for trips out to Point Reyes or into Point Reyes Station or the other side of Tomales Bay. Kehoe Beach, the fire trail up the street from the house, and Millerton Point were all great for dogs. All in all, a terrific, if too brief, visit. Hoping we make it back sooner rather than later next time (as Mike said, at least before the kids head off to college!) Thanks for a great visit!

Yvetot was the perfect home base for a week in Point Reyes. A lovely cabin, perched in the hills above Inverness, complete with hot tub and wood burning stove. A beautiful view of the forest and hills. Secluded and private. And Mike is a lovely host. We could not have been happier with our stay.

Thank you Mike and Catherine for a wonderful stay at Yvetot. It was beyond all our expectations. So clean, comfortable, and cosy. We will be back! Thanks for being such warm and welcoming hosts.

Quiet and secluded, this cottage was built to take full advantage of the site. There are many windows and great views. The cottage is very efficient with radiant heat in the floors and lots of recessed lighting. There is hiking right from the cottage with a hot tub and outdoor shower to enjoy when you return.

We selected this rental as a home base for day trips with our family in the Point Reyes area but it was such a comfortable place inside and out that we ended up spending a lot of time at the property. The photos don’t do the place justice. It’s high quality and clearly an extension of the family’s home for guests.

One of the all time best vacation rental experiences we’ve had. As others note the home is even better than it looks in the pictures. I thought it would be more of a cute cottage, but it feels much more expansive in real life. The home is beautifully designed, surrounded by astounding views and nature and appointed with heirloom quality furnishings. Every detail is just perfect, but very cozy and not precious. Loved the warm wood interior, Japanese design influences, gorgeous ceramics and the reading nooks with picture windows. It’s the kind of vacation home you actually want to spend most of your time in despite the great sight seeing all around. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped -we made a few big meals, cocktails, etc and we wanted for no tool or dish. It has every crab and oyster accoutrement, multiple cocktail shakers, even a dishwasher. Mike and Catherine are great hosts. One afternoon the power went out due to winds knocking a power line over and they made sure we had everything we needed until the power came back on at around 9 pm. Honestly we enjoyed the power outage! Yvetot was at its most romantic by the light of the wood burning stove! We hope to return again!

Even though it rained, we had a wonderful time at Yvetot. The house is a beautiful, peaceful retreat. We look forward to coming back again.

We're here to tell you that being in Inverness in the rain is wonderful. We were here for New Years 2022, from Thursday to Sunday New Year's Day. The only time it cleared was on New Year's Day, but the rain didn't matter at all. The view is so gorgeous, the house so beautiful and serene...we had a lovely, peaceful time.

We had a great weekend at Yvetot, a perfect home base for some hiking, biking, cooking and relaxing over Christmas weekend. The cabin has everything you need and is very warm and cozy. Check in and check out were seamless. Communication with Mike and Catherine was great, quick to respond and address my questions, in addition to being very friendly, greeting us on arrival and coming by to wish a merry Christmas. Location is great, walkable (albeit somewhat long and steep) to a small grocery store and a couple restaurants, and a short drive to lots more, including Point Reyes Station. The house is up a steep hill and the driveway is also steep, but nothing too extreme. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

We loved our stay at Yvetot. The setting is so peaceful and made for a perfect weekend away for our family. It’s clear the owners have put a lot of care into this home.

Only glowing review. Mike, the host was incredibly kind and welcoming. The small slice of heaven that they have created in the Inverness hills was exactly what we needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The cottage was well equipped, from the kitchen to the washer & dryer. The surroundings are peaceful & beautiful. Relax on the deck and watch the acorn woodpeckers. We had the opportunity to meet our charming host, Mike. You may never want to leave!

Cottage was as advertised - charming, beautiful and well stocked and clean. Hosts were friendly and informative. The cottage is nestled in nature - we shared it with the acorn woodpeckers, California quail and the great horned owls at night! Wonderful place to rest while exploring Point Reyes.

Incredible place to stay! I loved everything about it. Except the price. Just too pricey for my budget generally. So, I probably can't go back. But, I highly recommend it fir beauty, comfort, location, architectural design. Very friendly host

I love everything about this cottage: the clean, spare lines; the simplicity of the decor; the spectacular view; the light; the sky and the stars during the dark of the moon; and most of all, the peace and quiet. The only noise was the fog rolling in and the woodpeckers.

We come back every year and adore the property and the owners!

Peaceful, quiet, views from every room, amazing interior, wonderful hosts. Trails within walking distance.
