Guest suite in Fairfax

Fairfax Getaway in the Redwoods

ChristmasRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I hesitate to be too effusive because I want Jennifer's place to be available next time we're in town! But, Jennifer's place was just perfect and exactly what we were looking for. It's just the coziest little hideaway in the trees, yet super accessible to downtown Fairfax. We were here for a festival and walked into town for dinner both nights we were there. It's about a 12 min walk through lovely redwoods and adorable homes. The bed was super comfy and it was so nice to wake up to the sun streaming in through the trees (there are shades if you want, but the view was too pretty). The shower had great water pressure and the little kitchenette had everything we needed. Although we didn't cook, you certainly could. Not only that Jennifer and Brian are so incredibly nice, we felt immediately welcome and can't wait to go back. We'll absolutely try and stay here again next time we're win the area!

Farm stay in Bolinas

Where the Sidewalk Ends- Oceanfront Compound & Spa

ShringarRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The farmhouse was a perfect weekend getaway from San Francisco, situated on a quiet property with a large garden and views of the blue Pacific waters. The interiors were artistically done, combining rural, country vibes with modern amenities. Also checks off the box for eco-friendly travelers looking for places that recycle, upcycle and preserve. Will be adding this place to the must visit again list.

Sunset Beach Retreat

BlancaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

PERFECT!!! That is the word I would use to describe Nitzas place. Everything from the request to the check out was perfect! Nitza is very responsive and friendly. I was given all the information I needed to get to our destination as well as recommendations before we even left for our trip! On the day of our trip Nitza pleasantly surprised us by offering an early check in which worked out GREAT for us because there is so much to look at and appreciate in Stinson beach ⛱️ This was our 10th anniversary and the location can't be beat! The beach, a snack bar and a few restaurants are only a hop, skip and a jump away! There is even a little market nearby for a quick essentials run. The place was beyond clean and neat and quiet and peaceful. The best thing there was the hammock room! OMG! We had such a great time I hope we will be considered in the future as return guests? 😎😎 Thank you so much for your space- J&B
