This property was quite real clean and charming I loved the sky light to look up and see the beautiful trees. Our host was very nice hope to stay there again.

My daughter and I stayed two nights in December to break up the dark season in Seattle. It rained while we were in Fairfax, so we woke up to a stream outside the cabin that wasn't there the night before, which was magical. The sound of raindrops on the sky lights accompanied us at night. The cabin had everything we needed, it was clean and it's older structure gave it character. The kitchen is fully functional but the lights lower when certain electrical appliances are used. The cabin is tucked in a beautiful neighborhood that is walking distance from downtown Fairfax. The host Teresa was available and onsite for anything we needed, she and her husband were great hosts.

Teresa was helpful and provided all necessary amenities. Cosy and quaint with loads of character nestled in the woods. Slept 4 adults comfortably with one on the sofa bed.

My wife and I, along with a friend were in town for a wedding. We were so thrilled with the location of the property, which is in a quiet neighborhood and also conveniently located to the downtown area. We loved the unique construction of the cottage as well as the interior layout and decor. We will definitely return to stay here next opportunity we have!

Perfectly located in the redwoods of Fairfax, this lovely small house is spotless and comfortable, only a 10-15 minute walk from the downtown. Very nice hosts made us feel at home right away. And Fairfax is a fun town to explore, not to mention all the nature attractions that are nearby: Point Reyes, Mount Tam, etc. Great place!

The skylights made me feel as though I were in a tree house somewhere in a hobbit village.

My boyfriend and I were hoping to escape the noise and congestion of Fleet Week in San Francisco, and this cottage was the perfect antidote -- spacious, comfortable, and quiet. Now that we know the property and the kind owner, Teresa, we're looking forward to spending more time there in future!

We had a great stay in this beautiful,1920's bungalow. It's very cozy, super clean, and perfect for a SFO area getaway. Very close to San Fran, Muir Woods, and wine country. We loved the quaint little town of Fairfax. Great responsive host. Highly recommend.

Teresa was the perfect host for our stay: friendly, welcoming, helpful. The place was clean and quiet and comfortable, and it even had a few niceties like spices and Pop Tarts and Dirt Coke available. For our needs, this was the perfect place to stay.
Thank you, Teresa, for providing the nice place AND for your friendly hospitality. Much appreciated!!

Thank you!

Wonderful spot in a great neighborhood! Perfect for our family of 4. Exceptionally comfortable queen bed and sofa bed (we didn’t use the twin bed but I’m sure it’s good too!). I was a little apprehensive about the weather and lack of A/C in the Bay Area — it was July when we were there an unusually hot — but the redwood cover really does keep the house nice and cool. Teresa was very considerate and I enjoyed communicating with her. We were in town for a wedding at Deer Park Villa and actually walked to and from the venue! About 10 min walk there and 15 min walk to downtown Fairfax, which is a great little town. Can’t say enough about this rental and location!!

My son and I came up to explore the San Francisco area but didn’t want to be right in the city. This cottage was perfect. The town was only 4-5 mins away where we could get food, coffee, ice cream etc. We chose not to cook while there but, the kitchen has everything you could want for basic meals. You can’t roast a turkey there- anything else you could do. The cottage was clean, including linens and towels. It has a little porch on the front with a small table where I had my coffee one morning but, you could have up to 4 people eating a meal there. Teresa had excellent communication and check in/out was easy.
I would definitely stay there again if I was in the area.

I am so glad I found this place. It was adorable and comfortable! Teresa was excellent at communicating with us, and we were impressed by the detailed visitors binder and restaurant menus binder that were left for us. They were very helpful. We really enjoyed the town of Fairfax and would come back. I think my mom wants to move there😊

We had the best time at the rental. The place was perfect for relaxing and close to activities. We hiked Muir Woods which was near by then went over to Stinson Beach. The property host was wonderful she assisted us before we got to the rental and during our stay. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

When we arrived at the cabin the fireplace was going and the lights were all turned on. It was so welcoming. Also, the pictures on VRBO are exactly what we saw. The creek running alongside the cabin was so calming. It is a quaint little town with lots of shops. The cabin was so cozy and comfortable. We will definitely go there again.

The cabin was perfect for what we needed. Right in town but with a decidedly rural feel. Definitely a cabin in the woods… in the city.
Comfortable bedding and communication practically in real time.
When we come back, we’re coming back here.

We loved staying in Teresa's property. Our daughter and her family recently moved to Fairfax. This cottage provided everything we needed to use as a launching pad for our daily visits with our three grand boys. This is a perfect spot if looking for a place to unwind, exhale, slow down, and enjoy the beauty of Marin County. Teresa was warm and welcoming and so communicative before our trip with answering my questions.
We look forward to staying here when we return to Fairfax! Thank you, Teresa, for such a special place!

A few of my friends and I decided to spend a weekend away from our everyday lives. We picked this place because of the semi-secluded location, relaxing atmosphere, and cozy furniture.
The property owner was amiable and communicative. She was accommodating with everything, and I appreciated all of her assistance.
My friends and I had the best start to the new year we could have asked for. This place is highly recommended, and I hope to stay here again.

Had a great time in this cozy house. Very comfortable, and well appointed, though I wish I had known that there was no freezer, just a mini fridge. Would rent it again, for sure!
