It is a truly beautiful property with a well designed and thought out house. We met Roger the owner upon our arrival and he help us with car charging equipment and instructions and showed us the property. He also said we could pick anything from the garden and our salad Friday night was nicely supplemented with gleanings. I enjoyed the pond on the property and the hummingbirds and quail on the property. Everything in the house worked and there was plenty of dishes, silverware, and cookware and spices for people like us who like to cook. Overall a great time and I'd like to go back and spend longer in the area and at the property.
Beautiful grounds! The host was very responsive and helpful. I really enjoyed the garden! So many hummingbirds. I highly recommend and hopefully return soon for another stay!
Excellent stay. Private location tucked away in the hills. Beautiful great room with gourmet kitchen, for example 4 different kinds of machines (Keurig, French press, etc.) for making coffee! Very nice host.
I love returning to the Garden House. It is my special retreat for reading, writing and relaxing. My close friends love to visit me there for lunch and a walk.
We have stayed in this house three years in a row. There is nothing I can complain about. The house is beautiful, fully equipped, and spotless, the property is beautiful, and the host is attentive. We hope to go back as much as we can in the future.
The house was even better than pictures. We could tell the owner really paid a lot of attention to the design. Our kids had fun with the puzzles and there were a couple of kids books as well. The location is a short drive to Point Reyes Station where there are a few good restaurants and a grocery store. There is also a plug for a 32A Tesla charger so you can use it if you bring your mobile charger.
This house is special. It is located on the wooded side of a mountain overlooking the Nicasio Reservior, just five minutes from Point Reyes Station. The house is designed and built by its owner, industrial designer. This house is a pleasure to stay in, and the host is extremely attentive, while being very respectful of our privacy. It was very spacious for our family of 4 and could take more if necessary. We will certainly return.
We were two adult couples exploring and hiking West Marin during the days , grabbing locally sourced seafood and produce to come back and cook up in the evenings in the perfectly decked out pro-kitchen.
Very user friendly and comfortable greatroom with wonderful lighting, dining area, and comfy designer sofas and chairs.
Lots of natural light and glass to bring the outside in.
Such a pleasure to return again and again. To notice the little improvements that the owner, Roger, and his lovely assistant, Nanci make each time to make guests feel welcome and cozy. Roger is always helpful and gracious host.
This time I noticed the new gray pillows on the red leather couch and the cozy Native American style blanket. Perfect color match as always. Makes the TV area, for friends and family to gather. Perfect. Great place also to relax and read when it rains, or when you are tired.
This time a new and inviting tea selection for every part of the day welcome me. And the Nespresso machine and coffee pods helps make sure that you are awake and ready for the pleasures of the compound and Point Reyes National Park treasures.
Great place to stay shine, rain, or rainbow.
Thank you, Roger! I can’t wait to return soon.
I already gave a number of 5 stars to the Garden House during past stays. The house, the art, the view, Roger (the gracious host), the vegetable garden with tasty little cherry tomatoes, the Lily Pond, are simply perfection.
It is not, however, an empty perfection. The whole project and environment possesses simplicity, harmony, beauty and truth.
Thank you Roger for sharing your life dream with us.

What else can I say?
So here is another variation of the praise:
The house, the art, the view, Roger (the gracious host), the vegetable garden (this time with tasty little cherry tomatoes), the Lily Pond, Nancy's presence, and everything else is simply perfection.
It is not, however, an empty, or cold perfection. The whole project and environment possesses simplicity, harmony, beauty and truth.
Thank you Roger for sharing your life dream with us.
we returned to this beautiful peaceful destination - this time with our grown sons & their friends. we all had a great getaway with long walks in the woods, bike rides, morning strolls, birdwatching, yummy meals (at the house and at Due West in Olema), parlor games, movie night, etc. the place is so thoughtfully equipped and well-maintained. we will certainly look to book another visit in 2023.
The flow of space inside and out invites one to just be. Extra touches like full stocked kitchen, inspiring art, peaceful pond, just add to the experience. Amazing shower. Comfy beds - even the futon sofa in main room. We needed an extea kitchen item and roger brought it over immediately. Five of us never felt crowded - even with one reading and two playing games at table and two working in kitchen. Few kitchens are set up for 3-4 people to be prepping at same time - but this one was perfect. Above all, we were in awe of the vision and engineering skill that Roger brought to this property. Thank you from our family!
The Garden House: A perfect retreat in Northern California
We had another wonderful stay at the Garden House. This is our fourth, or perhaps fifth stay (we lost track) during the past couple of years. As I wrote this past April “what praises can we write that we didn’t already mention in our previous reviews?”
The place is immaculate, spacious, and so harmoniously and tasteful designed and furnished. This time we also enjoyed the small Japanese-like pond with a table and chairs close by. The water was clear reflecting the tall trees above. The pink water lilies were in full bloom. The pond with the lilies was like a beautiful Monet painting that you don’t only look at, but that you can step into enjoying the tranquility, while having a picnic, and realizing that despite the worrisome state of our world, life can be still peaceful and beautiful.
We have already given a number of stellar reviews for this property in the past. It is a perfect location and property. Roger is an attentive and helpful host.
A rare retreat nestled in the midst of the rolling green hills
Another wonderful stay at the Garden House. This was our third time vacationing here during the past year. What praises can we write that we didn’t already mention in our previous reviews? The place is still immaculate, comfortable and so harmoniously and tasteful furnished. This Easter week hills where lush green and carpeted with some Lupine purple patches along the road leading to the house. Lovely California orange poppies welcomed us as we drove to the house. The vegetable garden was inviting. We cut some fresh parsley for our breakfast omelet. Catherine invited us to help ourselves with some of the Swiss Chard that looked amazing. We didn’t have a chance to do that. We drove a few times to Brickmaiden Bakery in Point Reyes. It had some delectable pizzettes and cookies. We highly recommend it.
As always Roger and Catherine were gracious and attentive hosts.
The only problem that we had was feeling somewhat sad when leaving the compound. Even after staying here for 8 days. The Garden House is such a perfect retreat. We can’t wait to return in May.
The hosts were very kind and welcoming and quick to answer and address any issues. The home is gorgeous and comfortable and our son thoroughly enjoyed the pond and garden. Picking fresh lemons and chard was a real treat. Lovely location with easy access to point reyes station, biking trails, and restaurants. Highly recommend!
we’ve been to this beautiful spot before and were eager to return - this time with our grown sons. the property suited us perfectly - and was a great base from which they set off on their west Marin bike rides. we enjoyed hikes, dinner in Pt Reyes station, TV viewing, parlor games, yummy meals at the long dining table, & restful nights on the comfy beds. Roger is an excellent host - available and attentive. we look forward to celebrating more family milestones here.
We so enjoyed our stay at the Garden House. It is a flawless and inviting home nestled in the beautiful hills of Nicasio. The house layout, furniture, décor and art are exceptionally harmonious and tasteful, while at the same time inviting, comfortable and relaxing. We very much appreciated the great attention that the owners have paid to all the many details that makes this a real home away from home.
Roger, the owner provided us with a gracious and warm hospitality. We returned to our San Francisco home rejuvenated and we can't wait to return to the Garden House in a couple of months.
