The house is large and comfortable and sufficiently divided to give everyone some space without feeling distant or isolating. The property is magnificent with trees that must be centuries old and trails abound with beautiful views. The house is a very short walk to both grocers and a liquor store; another few minutes to the beach, and a short drive to another beach with cliff-side trail.
Unlike Stinson, Bolinas has maintained its small-commune atmosphere. Even though we stood out with seven children, the townspeople were very kind and friendly, albeit many were eccentric as most denizens of west Marin seem to be. It is a very beautiful place and one everyone should visit at some point.

It has become a fall tradition for our family to spend time at the Bo House. The house and property are so special & gorgeous. Thank you!

This house is so special. Beautiful views out all the windows, incredibly well supplied, ideal location in Bolinas, space for everyone. We had such a wonderful stay.

The Bo House is truly a unique gem. A place where you feel immediately at home, including because the beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking family meals, and the game cupboard is stocked! We had a wonderful 3-generation family vacation at the property. The location is excellent for a Bolinas stay.

I cannot wait to come back here! This home is absolutely stunning - it's surrounded by nature and designed in a way that makes you immediately relax when you arrive (the hot tub, the decks, the comfy sofa for reading, the wonderful kitchen, etc).

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. The owners thought of everything to ensure everyone has a great stay. The house is settled atop a hill walking distance to the cute little town of Bolinas and the beach. The kids had the best time exploring the property and playing with all the puzzles and games included with the stay. The hot tub was perfect for every age, the large dining table was great for family dinners, and all the beds were incredibly comfortable. We all would absolutely stay there again!

Loved it.

Special property, secluded but somehow right in town. Magical hillside, meadow and pond/gardens. Family and friends were very comfortable with enough room to spread out. Kitchen and rooms well stocked, and everything worked, which is always appreciated, and pretty darn rare in even the best rentals.

Close to the Bay Area, but worlds away from the hustle and bustle, we love spending time in Bolinas, Point Reyes and Stinson beach with our adult kids and grandchildren. This house provides a perfect space, with a family table that makes for great communal meals, prepared on the Viking stove in the kitchen. A large hot tub on a sunny deck is a great place to recover from long hikes, or for the kids to get warm on a cooler foggy morning. There's lots of outdoor space for the kids to explore above and below the house. Giant banana slugs to hunt for in the shady garden - and deer visiting the front garden. While it is an old farm house, the bathroom have been fully remodeled and brought up to date, and the kitchen has a dishwasher and great sink. This was our second stay here -- and we plan to return next year.

Bo House was perfect for a group of 5 friends and a toddler. Beautiful home with a great kitchen, plenty of eating / living space to spread out; upstairs bedrooms especially show off farm house charm. Great location to enjoy Bolinas and explore the area.

Absolutely beautiful home, stylish and comfortable. Tons of space for two families with kids to spread out. Beautiful property with lots to explore and right in Bolinas. Flawless experience and hope to stay here again.

One of those stays where it feels like the property is one of the characters in your weekend. Delightful, considerate, stylish, like that cool auntie everyone loves. I can't say enough about how perfect our weekend was. Thank you, Lyn, for your kindness and the opportunity to stay in such a magical, storied home in the chillest town in California.

The Bo house was absolutely perfect. We had a large group of 12 and we were all very comfortable and never felt cramped or crowded. Beautiful home, lovely touches throughout, comfortable beds and linens can’t wait to come back.

I rented the BO house for a short weekend stay with a small group of moms ready to escape for the weekend. We had planned hikes, walks to the beach, outdoor activity but it rained all weekend so we stay in cozy, cooked meals together and chapter by the fire place. The house was so welcoming, has so much charm and is well designed and furnished with mid century pieces. The hospitality was perfect, everything was well described and communicated! I would love to return on a sunny weekend!

This is a lovely home and property! We stayed comfortably here with 9 adults and 2 children under 2. Kitchen and communal spaces are awesome for hanging out with a group. We enjoyed the large dining room table and chalkboard for parlor games :)
I will say, the cabin is a bit removed from the main house with no bathroom access. We didn’t have any takers in our group who wanted to sleep there, but we also didn’t need that room to accommodate our group so it was not a problem for us. I think a brave pair of people would be best suited for that room as it gets dark up there at night. :)
Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Although the house was lovely, the owners were very difficult to reach, we did not receive confirmation emails with instructions until the day of arrival, which was very challenging given the limited Wifi in the region and folks traveling from multiple places. We fully trusted the owners and did not inspect the property ahead of time and then were charged for damages not caused by us and a complete refusal by the owners to discuss the matter. It was very frustrating and unnecessary. Hopefully other guests have better luck. I highly recommend inspecting the property yourself upon checkin to avoid similar situations.

Bolinas isn’t just a place to visit, it’s an experience and a state of mind if you do it right. The Werbach’s home is quite simply the perfect reflection of the best bolinas has to offer. Can’t say enough for how lovely it was, and I really don’t ever use the word lovely. There was some love put in to this one. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely old house with well maintained main areas with newer kitchen & baths on a magical piece of property right in Bolinas. We so appreciated the large fridge, great stove, the kitchen well stocked for cooking baking, serving and eating. ( Note that as of New Years week 2023 there is no microwave ) The house is comfortable and well maintained - beds are good (although do note only one is a queen and it was the only one comfortable for our tallest family member ) - some furniture is a little less comfortable for those with bad backs or knees. The lines are great & the beds have warm bedding but note that there are no throw blankets so bring your own if you come in winter. The outdoor shower is great. We love the place and are immediately working on booking again. Note - I’m listing comms with property manager as good because we had no need - everything was clear to us based on written info in the app and we had no issues when we were there. Do note however that if you don’t know Bolinas may have a hard time finding the place if you arrive after dark,

Our family had a wonderful holiday in a very comfortable home, cooking and eating meals together, playing board games, hiking on trails and beachcombing. Amazingly, once I inquired about reserving the house, I learned that it was my great-grandparents and grandparent's home (up to 1971). To be in a house where three generations of ancestors lived, where my dad grew up, was priceless. I'll be forever grateful for the opportunity to connect in the present, but also to remember our family of the past.

We’re 10 SF women in a book club that’s lasted 30+ years. The property is very cool. Great location, with groceries and pizza available. We wished the double beds had been queens. At our ages, a double bed just sleeps one person, so some slept on couches and wished there had been warmer (fluffier) blankets available. The kitchen is very well stocked, and we were very pleased with the stove and appliances, as we definitely cook gourmet meals for 10. We were authorized a later checkout which was much appreciated. Thank you, Lyn. We’ll be happy to book the Bo House again.

This property suits us perfectly! It’s roomie, well appointed, extremely tasteful and appealing to all ages! We are multi generational and have plenty of room to spread out and lots of wonderful places to come together. We felt supported and though we did not need help during our stay we knew it was there! We hope to make this an annual family trip!

The house has a beautiful aesthetic! Expansive window panes in the living and dining rooms offer gorgeous views onto the hills, shrubs and trees...You can pick ripe plums right off the trees in the front yard and freshly baked plum pies are just waiting to happen in the beautiful and well equipped kitchen! The house is very roomy, well taken care of and beautifully furnished. We had 8 adults and two children and it was very roomy for us. The roomy dining room with its long table accommodated all ten of us very easily. There's a third bathroom in the laundry room area (including shower). Everything we needed was at our finger tips, including a 2 minute walk to the local grocery store and a couple of restaurants/cafe's . We had 3 cars which did make getting out of the driveway a bit of a challenge...but we managed. There is a commercial outfit right beyond the driveway; it may be a door manufacturing business, so occasionally we did hear a bit of construction noise but it was minor. We would definitely return to this house! The "Zen" feel is a ten out of ten!!!

This is a truly magical spot and a beautiful, special house. Thank you for sharing it with us. Bolinas has been our “happy place” for many years and somehow this made us love it even more.

My family had an incredible week at The Bo House. Steps from town but surrounded by nature.
Spent each morning watching a family of deer eating plums off the ground while drinking coffee on the porch…best part of every day.
It’s an incredible house, will rent again soon!

This property is just magical, there is no other way to put it! We look forward to coming here every year. The setting, the beautiful house, the proximity to town and the beach make it the perfect relaxing getaway. Highly reccommend!

We organized a corporate retreat at this lovely home and it was truly magical. The property itself is spacious and cozy at the same time. Gorgeous living room and dining room. Sweet kitchen with views of the garden. The bedrooms were comfortable with lots of sleeping options, but the real treasure is the lovely vistas and the expanse of property itself. There are gorgeous views from the deck. There are lots of conversation and meditation areas scattered all over the grounds (picnic areas, gardens, meditation pool, etc.).
My communication with the property owner, Lyn, was always timely and extremely helpful. They were very generous with changes and with extra requests. They even made recommendations for other properties when I had an overflow of attendees. AND, they even suggested a local caterer who made DELICIOUS meals for all us all the days that we were there. Ask about Debonair Catering, if you need that sort of thing.
Bolinas is a bit out of the way and requires patience to navigate the windy roads to get there, but it is WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. It's a charming town with incredible nature to enjoy. Just make sure you stay her to get all the modern conveniences.
I cannot recommend this property or the owners higher! Over the moon with sastisfaction.

We had a lovely stay at the Bo House. This home & property are very special and accommodated our family perfectly. We enjoyed 4 nights here over spring break and walked to the beach everyday, played games, hiked a bit, socked in the hot tub and explored the area. Easy walking distance to town & beach. Rooms are comfortable and kitchen very well equipped. Can’t wait to return!

This was our dream base for hiking, surfing, feasting, and R&R with our kids and extended family. Pretty much everyone declared they were ready to move in! The house is spacious, inviting, cozy, private, and tasteful. Perfectly equipped for my gourmand relatives who love to cook and grill. My little one played with the legos and drums, my teen soaked in all the nature and popped into town every morning. Everyone slept so well. Lyn was responsive to all questions and gave fantastic recommendations in the area. Can’t wait to come back.

The Bolinas farmhouse was perfect for a quick weekend family getaway. We had kids ranging in age from 8 to 16 and they were able to walk down to town and the beach easily. The location was a wonderful base to explore Point Reyes and the tidepools in Bolinas. We thoroughly enjoyed the great hot tub and the size of the house allowed us all to be together but also have our own separate spaces. We would definitely come back.

Our family enjoyed a special Thanksgiving together at Bo House. The house is well appointed, large and comfortable, and in a perfect location. We kept kids of all ages entertained with walks to the beach, tide pool exploring, watching the deer and wildlife, and playing games from the well stocked toy cabinet. Lyn was a very responsive host.

What an incredible spot! The house is cozy and beautiful, the hot tub is huge, the property is lovely and expansive. Walkable to the beach and downtown. Couldn’t be much better!

Bo House was a lovely escape. The town of Bolinas is right out the front door with several charming spots to explore nearby but the house itself feels wonderfully tucked away. The main floor offered ample space for the whole family, and we especially appreciated the kitchen being fully stocked with all the equipment needed to cook for a group. Additionally the hosts had books and toys for small kids ready and waiting - a great surprise! All the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet at night, and the bathrooms were updated and very clean. Within a day, Bo House felt like home to our family. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend for guests of all ages!
