About this property

Cottage on Inverness Bay!

This is a unique opportunity to experience an Inverness cottage of your own. It is located on six acres stretching along the beginning of Tomales Bay. Enjoy gardens, flowers, orchard, marshes and year-round creek. There is an abundant variety of birds and wildlife.

Tomales Bay is at your back door, providing endless vistas of beauty and interest. Enjoy the ever-changing flow of water and quality of light. As the tide rises, take in the reflection of sky and rolling hills from the opposite shore, or the full moon rising over Black Mountain. The views are expansive.

As the tide recedes, watch for the variety of birds foraging for food along the shore, or footprints of deer as they move through the area. You may enjoy the view from the living room, outdoor deck, or sitting at the edge of the bay.

The cottage is approximately 3 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore visitor Center, and just 2 miles from the town of Inverness.

Quiet and secluded cozy cottage.

Very restful, peaceful and pleasant stay in the cottage. Close to many trails as well as town. Birds and flowers all around and enough amenities to enhance our stay. Would stay here again, Louise was a wonderful host and the cottage was just what we needed to recharge and rejuvenate.

Another great stay at the cottage!

This was my second time staying at this bayside cottage for a little getaway out in Point Reyes. the first time was so great that I was determined to do it again. Now, after this latest visit I am even more inclined to take advantage of this wonderful place!

4 day getaway in Inverness

It was simply a delight to have stayed at the cottage. So peaceful, gorgeous and comfortable. The bird song in the morning, enjoying my coffee out on the boardwalk bench or inside the kitchen with a view. It was perfect location for hiking in Point Reyes, and sunning on Stinson Beach, and also an hour away from Muir Woods via a beautiful drive. I got to Muir Woods super early, and got the first parking spot, with no one in the park yet. I was able to hike up Ben Johnson trail to the Dipsea Trail without seeing a soul. Perfect.Thank you, agaiin.
