We enjoyed the cabin in the woods. Host provided a couple of days worth of coffee and paper products to get you started. If you book a long stay, laundry will have to be done in town. We enjoyed the huge redwoods surrounding the cabin. Host was very accommodating so we could park our van in a secure spot off the street. Thank you Teresa!

This was such a lovely place to stay. Right near town but tucked in under the trees at the edge of the forest. Clean, comfortable, and very cozy, it had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Host was welcoming and available but respected our privacy. We definitely will stay here again the next time we return to Marin County, there is so much to explore.
