Immerse yourself in nature and the daily rhythms of Tomales Bay in a waterfront cottage in the historic village of Inverness.

Tomales Bay is mesmerizing, timeless, always changing. From the minute you arrive, you’ll reflexively drop your bags and head out to the deck — and just look at it, and breathe.

You’re right on the Bay, watching the water birds in their daily movements, feeling the tide swell and recede, witnessing a million stars slowly resolve into view as the twilight gives way to night. This is what you’ve been wanting. To refresh. To restore wonder. To release all the distractions so you can once again see.

You’re located at the entrance to Point Reyes National Seashore park, and a 7 minute drive from downtown Point Reyes Station. At the end of your day hiking, beach combing, exploring, come home to your comfy bed, turn on the gas fireplace, put on some music and relax.

Each cottage is stylishly furnished for comfort. You’ll love the leaded glass windows, vaulted ceilings with skylights and French doors that open onto a furnished deck that sits right on the shores of Tomales Bay.

Inverness Village

While you’ll feel you’ve slipped into another dimension, somewhere outside of time — you’ll still be walking distance to the charming storied village of Inverness. Pop out for a neighborhood stroll, some fresh oysters and wine, or just down the road for supplies, groceries and our local gourmet deli. 

Fully equipped kitchen and dining table.

Incredible Views

Spectacular views of Tomales Bay, the wetlands and hills beyond. Every room has windows looking out onto the Bay. Enjoy the view from indoors, or step out onto your sunny deck and relax with a glass of wine or morning coffee — watching the fog roll in or the sunrise.
