About Locke Jaeger

For 40 years our family has spent New Year's Eve on North Beach. When allowed the opportunity to have a vacation home in Inverness we knew it was perfect! We love how close this is to the East Bay and to San Francisco. A complete retreat away from the hustle and bustle, but we can still get back to it if we need to. This house has been a great family retreat, for hiking, going to the beach or just being together for meals, reading books, watching movies and playing games. We're happy to share it with you.

Locke Jaeger purchased this house in 2005
Why Locke Jaeger chose Inverness

This wonderful retreat is multi-generationally owned and passed from friends to friends and not placed on the market. Whether it's raining out or sunny, or cold and foggy, waking up in Inverness you feel relaxed after a quiet night's sleep.

What makes this house unique

We love walking up to the house, opening the front door and.....walking onto the deck! It always surprises people to open the front door and to be on the deck and seeing the view of beautiful Tomales Bay. We can walk to Chicken Ranch beach in 1 minute, 10 minutes to Shell Beach and it's a short drive to any number of ocean beaches or hiking trails. A 10 minute drive to Pt. Reyes station.

A wonderful time exploring Inverness!

Submitted: May 14, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My friends and I stayed here in early February and had a wonderful time exploring Inverness! We found the place without difficulty and everything was prepared for our arrival. The place is spacious and didn't feel cramped even with a big group. We walked to the general store and explored the local library and cooked many meals in their incredible, fully-stocked kitchen. We were armed with a helpful instruction list of how to get there, how to turn on the heaters, etc. We never got to meet Locke, but it is obvious that this place gets a lot of love and care from her. Definitely the best airbnb experience I've had so far!

My family had a great time . . .

Submitted: May 14, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
My family had a great time in Locke's lovely, charming home. The kitchen was fully equipped--complete with oyster shuckers and several types of coffee machines. We used the lift for my father and she walked me through how to use it the day before I arrived and also left detailed notes. She was accessible over the phone and via text. It's a great, spacious place!

Excellent value

5 of 5
Submitted: December 19, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
This vintage Inverness home is within walking distance of Chicken Ranch Beach, has stunning views from the large deck and functions well for a group of six. The house was clean (no smells) even though it is dog-friendly. The central heating worked great for a cozy December stay. We will be back.

truly a beach house

Submitted: August 20, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Wonderful location, great views, truly a "beach" house with great deck, lots of space. A great house for family gathering. A few steps from dog friendly beach. Our family loved it and preferred it to other rentals that we have used. We would definitely return. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking gadgets.
