Perfect rainy weekend in Fairfax. This little pied-a-terre was just what we needed between and after our outdoor activities. Big plus: super comfy bed! Our host was really nice and helpful; she's a great communicator.

This is our 3rd time staying at this beautiful spot. Myself and my 3 brothers love to some, watch football and just recharge. Feels like Tahoe without the long drive. Can't wait to return.

Cozy house in a beautiful setting.

The house is very eclectic and cozy. It sits in a lovely grove of redwoods and is very quiet. The surrounding neighborhoods are nice to walk around in. Teresa, the host was always immediately available to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great writing escape in the Redwoods

Enjoyed a weekend away here to focus on my writing. Despite a day of torrential rain, the place was cozy and bright (nice skylights.) And the little creek running alongside, waking up to the Redwoods, and ease of communication made the whole visit wonderful.

This cottage was so lovely nestled in the redwood trees and outfitted so thoughtfully! We were visiting from Hawaii to go to a family wedding in LA and then drove to Fairfax to visit family near there. This little spot was so relaxing and cool and quiet.

Quaint Getaway

We were surrounded by redwoods. Teresa’s home made us feel very welcome. The bed was very comfy, but the pillows were a bit flat. We went to Muir Woods and this place was about 30 minutes away which made it convenient. Teresa was very responsive to our questions.

This is a quiet cottage only minutes by foot from downtown Fairfax. I walked every morning to the bakery. We were in town for our daughter's wedding and found the location and the cottage perfect for our needs. Super clean, charming, and Teresa is there to help with any special requests. She gave me a recommendation for a park to use for a pre-wedding party. It was perfect. Ten out of ten rating.

Sweet Little Cottage!

This cottage was so sweet! It was a perfect space for three senior sisters. The beds were comfy. The property was filled with mature redwoods, which were beautiful, and kept the cottage cool without AC. I highly recommend this property.

Family vacation summer 2024

We stayed at this property in July/Aug 2024 in order to attend our friends' wedding and to visit family in Marin. We used to live in San Anselmo, we had our daughter there and spent a lot of time in Fairfax years ago (we live in New Hampshire now) but we wanted to stay somewhere special and memorable. This cozy cottage was the perfect choice, close to everything we did during our vacation and felt like coming home again to our old neighborhood but even better. It was so peaceful, relaxing and beautiful and really helped us experience all of the charm that Fairfax and Marin in general, has to offer. Plus Teresa was the perfect host and Diane who was assisting, was so nice we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. I would highly recommend a stay here, you will love it and we are hoping to come back ourselves soon!

Fantastic, beautiful property to stay in nestled in the Red Woods! We were coming for a wedding at Deer Park Villa which was 5 minutes away and this Vrbo made the stay more magical! The host was super helpful and they thought of everything- even spices, coffee, and extra blankets. Our friends stayed on the pull out sofa and said it was very comfortable too!
