Guesthouse holiday rentals in Marin County

One of the most perfect AirBnBs we've ever stayed at. The Oaks was cozy, comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed. It's obvious the hosts took a lot of time and care in the setup, and it creates a great experience for guests as a result. If you're thinking about booking, do it.

Our stay at Lori and Mike’s place was absolutely fantastic, and Lori truly made it unforgettable. While Mike was away on a trip, Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—and more. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in creating a comfortable, personalized experience. She checked in with us just enough to make sure we were all set and shared amazing local tips that really made our trip extra special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you so much, Lori—you’re truly one of a kind!

We had an excellent time in the Sonoma area and the stay at Kate’s was wonderful. The space was actually larger and more spacious than I expected and was very nicely appointed. Perfect for a couple! The cottage is in a very quiet neighborhood and the grounds the cottage is on are beautiful. We spent nearly everyday out and about in Sonoma and Napa and the cottage is in great location to experience both areas. Easy driving and about 10 minutes to downtown Sonoma. It was nice to open the french doors in the morning with a cup of coffee to hear the sounds of the morning birds. We truly enjoyed the quiet of this location after long days of wine tasting and exploring busier areas. We would certainly stay again and recommend this location to other travelers. We miss Sonoma already!

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

Our stay at the Quail House was everything we wanted and so much more. A truly magical place. Judith was also an incredible host and a pleasure to get to know.

No complaints! Location is around a 4-minute drive to the downtown area of Pt. Reyes Station. The cottage feels big -- there's a bedroom, kitchen/dining area, living room, and bathroom. The place is quiet and we had a nice weekend (and liked Jeri's homemade raspberry jam).

My family stayed in Teresa’s place and could not have had a more wonderful experience. Teresa was lovely and very communicative which made everything super easy. The location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. We walked everywhere and always had a quiet, cool spot to come home to at the end of the day. I highly recommend staying here ♥️ We hope to be back!!

My daughter and I were on a weekend get away. Upon our arrival, Camille greeted us warmly. Our place was located in a beautiful natural setting, among trees. There was also a small water view. It was a very peaceful setting. The bed was very comfortable. Camille was very responsive to any questions we had. My daughter and I had a wonderful time.

Andrea's apartment is compact but beautifully appointed. I was working in San Francisco, and having the beauty, convenience and peacefulness of Marin County was well worth the 25 minutes. Whole Foods is a couple of blocks away, and the richness of 4th street restaurants and shops make this the perfect pied-a-terre. Thanks Andrea!

My husband and I stayed in Anita’s home for a few days while in the area for a wedding. The photos of the private patio space and well equipped, modern interior were what drew us in and they didn’t disappoint. We had everything we needed including small touches that go a long way like bottled water (and miniature chocolates— a necessity for me personally). The home is well lit with natural daylight, while still being very turn-down friendly with nice shades and window treatments. We really enjoyed the patio space and the (gated) private entry. It was safe, clean and cozy, a very easy place to make home for several days+. While there, we even got a few glimpses and interactions with Anita’s PRECIOUS dog, Oisin and frankly wish we got to see more of him as we were missing our own dog at home (though he is much quieter, and we never heard a peep). Location was great, just a short distance from one of the top rated lunch spots in Sonoma. We’d definitely stay here again!

When we entered Mary Lee’s backyard where the unit is located, we were instantly pleased with how beautiful and well landscaped it is. The studio is well built, with attention to detail and the use of quality materials. The décor was also pleasant and well thought out. In addition, we were satisfied with the fact that they provide 100% cotton towels and linen for the bed. The kitchen was well stocked with stainless steel cookware and everything we needed. Mary Lee and her husband David were friendly and responsive to all our requests. We would be happy to stay at their place again.

We had a great stay! Kelly’s accommodations were exactly as described and everything felt new and clean. Kelly was communicative about arrival/check in/check out and even welcomed us in person upon arrival. Would absolutely recommend!

This is an extremely comfortable and well equipped space, in a lovely park like backyard and a beautiful, walkable neighbourhood. A 15 minute stroll from downtown San Rafael, with a Safeway grocery store, bocce ball and Albert Park home of the San Rafael Pacifics a couple blocks away. Andres and Jennesis we welcoming, cats Lily and Tiger were aloof but enjoyed attention. A great place to stay.

David‘s place was lovely. We really loved the backyard as it was very tranquil and very beautifully landscaped. If it hadn’t been such a windy week, we would have spent lots of time out there. The inside of that place was lovely and comfortable. David was a very nice host and very helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome place, you won’t find a better stay! Barry is super cool and helpful!

We had a great stay! Loved the close proximity to downtown. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Will definitely book again on our next Petaluma visit!

We were very pleased with all the accommodations. The place was updated, clean and nicely decorated. The owners were very kind and responsive. The property is beautiful, peaceful and private. We look forward to staying there again next year!

We had a wonderful five days at Magesh’s guest house! The interior is beautiful and we soon felt right at home. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious with a great shower. Magesh was very easy to communicate with, and even went out of his way to be sure we had everything we needed. When I asked if they had a Bluetooth speaker in the house, he sent his wife Rupa over with one for us to use! Rupa also made samosas for us, and on our last night, she brought us two beautiful little cakes from her favorite bakery!

We really enjoyed our one night stay here. The yard is tranquil and beautiful, and the interior is larger than shown in the images. The carpet is fluffy, and the bathroom was very clean. We enjoyed our time here and wished we had more time to enjoy the sauna.

If you're looking for a quiet place to unwind and relax, we HIGHLY recommend Barrel Lounge. Whether you want to chill in the hot tub, lay in the pool, or lounge on the deck while grillin' out, this place has it all. Beyond the amenities, the hosts, Kathy and Jim are incredible. They were very accommodating, providing everything we could have needed. They are two of the most kind-hearted people. Every interaction with them was a delight. Top notch experience: 1000/100 as our son would say. Many thanks to Kathy and Jim for making our honeymoon one that we'll never forget.

Very clean and pleasant spot near downtown, with a private patio. The unit is above garages (so you don't hear anyone downstairs). Comfy bed. Well-equipped kitchen. It's tucked back from the street, but from the bedroom you can hear a little bit of the E. Washington traffic (less than a block away). We'd stay here again.

Sherry was an exceptionally thoughtful, kind, and responsive host. She replied almost immediately to any questions I had and made sure that I was always comfortable in the Cottage. It was well stocked, kept very clean, and had everything I needed for a three month stay. I couldn't recommend Sherry or this property more highly.

Private, peaceful, quiet, easy walk to downtown, lovely neighborhood, beautifully decorated, very responsive & friendly host, nice outdoor seating on the patio under a beautiful redwood tree.

Surfers outlook is a beautiful spot. The studio had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and Carey was a fantastic host. The view was amazing, we loved exploring the town, and had a great vacation. All the five star reviews and photos still don’t do it justice - you really just have to see for yourself! Highly recommend.
