Well equipped home

I enjoyed my stay at Loyds Lookout. The home would be perfect for a family getting together. It was cozy and well appointed with all things needed. Although not 'new' there was a patina charm that fit the mood of the area and was a pleasant find.

Comfortable vacation house, fabulous location

We loved our visit to Lloyds Lookout. The house is very comfortable, with beautiful views through the trees to Tomales Bay. The beds are great, well appointed kitchen and bathrooms—everything you would want in a vacation house. Ewa, our host, even left fresh eggs for us, and made sure there was propane for the grill. We can’t wait to return!

Charming cottage in the trees

We loved our recent stay at this newly renovated cottage. It has all of the old Inverness charm but with modern upgrades. Expansive deck was perfect for doing art with my teen daughter on Spring break. Loads of privacy while very close to old town Inverness and all of the Pt Reyes beaches and trail heads.

Great week in Inverness

Our week stay at Lloyd’s Lookout was just what we hoped for. Comfortable accommodations, well stocked kitchen (thanks for the yummy eggs!), beautiful deck in the trees for sitting out, great location for exploring the National Seashore and Point Reyes Station. Communication with Ewa, our local host, was excellent. We would recommend Lloyd’s Lookout to others looking for a comfortable retreat in a beautiful part of the world.

House in woods, 2 blocks from “downtown” Inverness, with great views of Tomales Bay from dining room, living room, and two of the three bedrooms. Fully Equipped kitchen. Spotless everywhere. comfortable beds. Strongly recommended. You could spend your whole vacation just enjoying the house, the views, and hikes, beaches, swimming in the bay, and many other activities a short drive (or even a short walk!) from the house.
