Farm stay in Tomales

Applegarden Cottage B&B near Point Reyes and Tomales Bay

Enjoy a peaceful visit to the farm in this cozy and comfortable bed-and-breakfast retreat. Wake up with breakfast brought to your door, then spend the morning leisurely exploring the surrounding apple orchards and gardens. Located on a working farm/cidery, you can learn about apple culture and even stroll through the orchards tasting different varieties of apples during the harvest season. The farm's chickens provide very tasty eggs which you'll enjoy for breakfast; there are cows and lots of wild-life just outside your door! The cottage is set up comfortably for two people with all the spa amenities. Guests have stayed here for the last several years; you can read reviews online by following the review link on our website after searching for our name (AppleGarden Cottage) on the web. Breakfast is brought to the cottage each morning with all organic and home-made items. Fresh eggs from our pasture-raised chickens, local dairy items, and our own hard cider is stocked in the fridge. Guests can enjoy touring the apple orchard and cidery, and visiting with the resident chickens. They have complete privacy inside the cottage. Free EV charger for guest use. We live full-time on the farm in the main house and are always on-site when our guests are present. We enjoy visiting with folks if they want to tour the farm or need suggestions for activities. Tomales is 68 miles from both San Franciso (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) airports. There are many hiking opportunities just a short distance from the farm: Point Reyes National Seashore has wonderful trails to explore. There are local cheesemakers who have educational tours; Tomales Bay is perfect for kayaking, and of course there are several oyster farm choices for the bivalve lover! Spectacular beaches are just an easy drive away. If the weather's nice, bring your bikes! EVC available for your car. There is no public transportation. We are located about an hour from San Francisco (traffic depending) and about 20 minutes from Petaluma. Fee includes breakfast for two each morning. Free wi-fi, satellite TV with premium channels, land-line phone with free calls (cell phone coverage is difficult), internet radio The weather is quite changeable; dressing in layers is the best idea since the morning can start out foggy, lots of sunshine during the day, and a brisk breeze in the afternoons. No animals - no exceptions, no matter how well behaved you may think they are, so please don't ask. On rainy days, enjoy the cozy comfort of reading next to the fireplace, or venture out to watch to storm at Bodega Head. Plan to bring snacks or other things you'd enjoy eating; we provide breakfast (of course!) and there are restaurants fairly close by, but no stores or places to just run out and get a quick treat!

Ocean View Spa House

EllieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This property is amazing in every way. There’s a view from the ocean from almost every room, beautiful tile work and gorgeous, well appointed bathrooms. A sauna and extra hot hot tub. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The house itself is beautiful with private spaces, but also a large living room where everyone can gather around a beautiful tiled potbelly fireplace. It’s a short walk to the beach through a charming neighborhood. The host Rebekah was very communicative and generous, allowed us flexible, check-in and check out. I will 100% be staying here again.

Creekside Cottage

EdRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Anything I write would only echo the rave reviews Hilmar has already received. I will say the kitchen was the best of any of the 50+ Airbnbs we have stayed at. A very peaceful, easy feeling staying here. A number of reviews mentioned seeing and hearing owls. Unfortunately, all we heard were the continuous "hoots" of Collared Doves which after awhile became annoying. There were a lot of deer who stopped by to say hi. The views out the windows were subtly magnificent. A great week was had.

Walk to the Beach, Ocean Views on Salmon Creek

SuzanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Our second visit, loved as much as the first time. Really enjoy the deck, saw families of geese several times during the day and at sunset. Love the view of the beach in the distance and the incredible sunsets. Love the swooping birds around the house and saw quite a few hawks. Very peaceful. Also love that can see the creek and green hillside from the sitting room area. Enjoyed a walk to the beach each day, looking at the creek and the houses along the way. Clam chowder from Spud point restaurant was delicious and once again had an amazing dinner at Terrapin Creek restaurant. Went to the small grocery store nearby for the first time for a few items, well stocked and convenient. Love this getaway place and will be back!

Apartment in Inverness

Cozy Inverness Apt near Shell Beach

DanielRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Absolutely incredible place! I have stayed at many airbnbs either for private travel or travel with large groups and this has by far been my favorite places we stayed at. Incredibly peaceful and friendly community, reminded me a lot of my hometown up in the mountains. There is plenty of adventures to go on if you are a nature lover. If you are not a fan of small communities without any “main brand” franchises near by, you might want to consider staying somewhere closer to Mill Valley but the family owned businesses here are top notch! The hiking trail right by the house was incredible and the beaches there private and very well maintained. Belinda and her husband were always responsive even though we didn’t have many questions and were great hosts with many recommendations that we went to! I couldn’t recommend this place enough especially if you need a secluded retreat! Will definitely be coming back here again!

Creamery Cottage

KiraRating, 5 stars2 days ago

I had a lovely stay at this charming cottage in San Geronimo. Tucked away in a quiet, private neighborhood, the space is cozy, thoughtfully decorated with antiques and modern amenities, and full of personality. The bed was especially comfortable, and I appreciated the peaceful surroundings. It’s also in a great location, an easy drive to many of the most beautiful spots in Marin County. A perfect little retreat for rest and exploring the area!
