About this property

Charming Point Reyes Cottage with Decks and Lovely Garden

4 PERSON MAXIMUM - NO EXCEPTIONS. STRICTLY ENFORCED.
NO PETS
———-
The Robin's Nest is a cottage home surrounded by decks and a lovely flower garden and located in the heart of the Point Reyes National Seashore.

The Robin's Nest was built as a hunting and fishing retreat in the 1920's when people came to the area by boat, train and stage coach. It is located in a residential area overlooking Tomales Bay in a sun belt. It is 3 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore headquarters and the park trail system. It is 2 miles from the town of Point Reyes Station which is the regional center(although only has a population of 500) with restaurants, an excellent grocery store and various shops. The Point Reyes lighthouse is approximately 15 miles out to the coast and provides an excellent vantage point where the whales pass by twice a year .

Inverness Park and the Robin's Nest are 38 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge so it is readily accessible to San Francisco. Because it is located in the National Seashore and along the coast line, it is in a protected zone so the surroundings are rural even though so close to the urban attractions of the Bay Area.

The house has a living room, dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms and two baths. A third bedroom and bath are located in a separate smaller building behind the main house. The two buildings are totally surrounded by approximately 900 square feet of decking which allows for taking full advantage of the outdoors.

There is a sauna and one of the bathrooms in the main house has a steam bath, so getting the ache out after a long run or hike is no problem.

The house is well equipped with a gas grill, TV (with cable tv) WiFi , and comfortable furniture and art work reflecting the Latin American travels of the owners. The kitchen has necessary cooking equipment, a self cleaning electric stove and basic cooking condiments.

The house is heated by a Vermont castings wood burning stove and there is plenty of fire wood. Electric heaters are available to supplement the wood stove while it heats up.

Tranquility plus

We came for nature and a time of healing and it was perfect. We had some confusion about directions at first but it was handled perfectly well.

Robin’s Nest is a cozy stay!

The house is delightful, has everything you need for a weekend stay, and is clean and lovely. Easy access to all of the great nature in the area, and so cozy at day’s end. I look forward to coming again!

This is very much a home and not a party house. Property is beautiful inside and out. The home is cozy and beautifully decorated. Kitchen stocked with cooking implements. Beds are super comfortable and living spaces are very comfortable and well laid out. Love the sauna! Home is a close to drive to local stores and restaurants and is a great launching point for Point Reyes and other local sights. Easy communication with Grace! She was very helpful and kind.

Blooming flowers, friends, and sun

The stay was enhanced by the blooming flowers, friendly kitchen dining and tasteful art through out. The open doors in the dining area allowed sunny skies to shine inside and out.

It was nice. I think for what we paid and because being in the outdoors is a priority for me, the outdoor furniture and benches for seating, should have all been cleaned, wiped down, spider webs removed, etc.We enjoyed the inside of the house very much. Though I do think there is some sort of varmint living behind the fireplace/in the walls. Actually, I think it may even be a fox.

A big storm passed the day before we arrived. We had good communication with Grace who was very flexible to our needs. The place as always was a quiet and lovely place. Great steam bath too.

Lovely place to stay!

We felt at home here and enjoyed everything from the quality of the sheets on the comfy beds to the milk frother in the well equipped kitchen. The feel of the place is warm and welcoming thanks in part to the art the owner has chosen for the cottage. Lovely hills views and close to Inverness. Highly recommend.

Perfect relaxing getaway

Had a wonderful long weekend getaway with a girlfriend. Robin's Nest was the ideal place for us to escape from work, kids and families. The cottage is wonderfully equipped with everything you need, and in a great location to explore Point Reyes and surroundings. Will definitely try to return!

Lovely getaway spot

Everything was as expected; a well-stocked kitchen (though we only ate breakfast here) and comfortable surroundings. It's located in a very peaceful neighborhood (as fits the ethos of Pt Reyes!). We spent most of our time hiking and at the end of a long day of miles, came back to sit on the deck in the afternoon sun to sip wine and recharge for lovely dinners out.

such a sweet retreat

Robin's Nest is beautifully situated, furnished, and appointed, We felt like we were staying in the home of a friend with great taste. Having each bedroom with its own bath worked well with 2 couples. Evenings by the wood burning stove was cozy, the sauna divine, and we headed out the door to hike in stunning spots within 20 minutes.

Great stay!

Our stay at the Point Reyes station was very enjoyable. The house is charming, well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes etc. The decor is lovely and probably reflects the owners travels. The view from the front porch and patio (and garden!) is very nice. Only one slight negative is that the smaller bedroom has a narrow shower. While it was not a problem for our friends who were in that room, a larger sized guest could have an issue.Otherwise, we wished we were staying longer!

Perfect home in Point Reyes

An older but lovely home, with big windows overlooking a beautiful garden. Clean and nicely decorated. Bathrooms have been remodeled. Gets a bit warm on a hot day, but opening the windows brings in a cool breeze. Overall we had a great time, we would like to come in the winter too, to enjoy the wood stove. We had a perfect 4th of July getaway.

Visit to Robin’s nest

The property was lovely and very comfortable for two couples. I would recommend to replace the lounges on the back porch. They collapsed, also both porches need some umbrellas. The check-in process was easy, the kitchen facilities were very good. There could be more maintenance of the patio patios and porches. All in all a great experience and very spacious again for four adult adults.

We had a lovely stay at Robins Nest. This is a real house with lots of nice art on the walls and thoughtful furnishings, not a bare bones place. We appreciated Grace’s detailed instructions and trust. Recommended!

Excellent cottage in Inverness/Pt Reyes

My wife and I and our adult daughters had a wonderful stay at the charming Robin's Nest. Lovely, homey, well decorated cottage with beautiful garden and sauna to boot. The hosts were clear about the check in and check out process and the property details. Location is great, for access to Pt Reyes National Seashore as well as the quaint West Marin villages of Inverness and Pt Reyes Station. I hope to stay there again
