1000 square feet! Unique quaint handcrafted two story house on the edge of a quail reserve, located one block from the Bolinas Beach and one block from quaint Bolinas Village near shops. This used to be a hot dog stand in the 20's-40's,refinished into a house,with a second story added on.Charming cozy,funky, rustic redwood cottage with old fashioned arched windows, unique staircase to views of Bolinas Ridge. Downstairs has one bedroom,Italian hand tiled old fashioned kitchen with gas stove, full claw foot tub bath with lounge. Like entering a fairytale. OutdoorJapanese soaking hot tub has been added. It is especially cozy on cold nights with the stone hearth we built and handmade felt rugs, antiques,like entering another era and place altogether. Nestled between three National Natural Wildlife parks, it is great place to spend the day hiking in Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods State Parks, Pt Reyes National Seashore.

Solstice Magic Found Here!

Marielle vv Oakland, CA
Review Submitted: January 7, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
We truly had a wonderful time celebrating the solstice at this beautiful cottage. We felt quite at home, with all the amenities & comforts of home, and were delighted by all of the little nooks & interesting artifacts & details built into the house. I really enjoyed the outdoor soaking tub! Such a serene view & lovely secluded quiet. I really needed a little time away from it all, and would love to come visit again.

Thank you, Sha Sha!

We had a glorious time while in your magical cottage in Bolinas.
On our last evening we had two deer in the back yard . . .

Sandy and I are happy you found the cottage in good shape. We treated it as we would our own.
