We spent the past year replacing most of the furniture, flooring, bedding, appliances and amenities inside and out, updating and preparing the home to be the ideal home to relax/work/study and spend time together. Come be our guests!

Nestled in the Inverness hills overlooking Tomales Bay, this quiet, secluded retreat pairs comfortable interior space with close proximity to the Point Reyes National Seashore and scenic West Marin. Guests have private access to the full property, including two downstairs bedrooms & full bath, second floor master suite & balcony, & spacious living area. A just-rebuilt 600 sq ft deck offers a spectacular vista of the bay & rolling West Marin hills.

The 1925 original family home has just undergone a partial remodel/refurnishing. This home has been in our family since 1973. The second story suite and expanded kitchen were added in 1983. The large deck was completely rebuilt in 2020. Situated on a large private lot shaded by mature redwood trees, it maintains many of its original features, including hardwood floors, exposed wooden beams, & kitchen bay windows. The property is located 1/3 mile from town, off a narrow country lane. Guests will be walking distance from Inverness shops, restaurants, & the library which serves as the town's community center. We are a short drive from neighboring Point Reyes Station, Olema, the Bear Valley Visitor Center & historic Earthquake Trail, & numerous ocean & bay beaches & hiking trails.

Inverness is truly a hidden gem thanks to a hard-fought battle against developers resulting in the protected status of a national seashore. Situated not much more than an hour's drive from the city, this beloved family home offers a perfect setting for a weekend respite or an extended vacation. Come enjoy barbecued oysters on the deck, pick blackberries along the nearby creek, collect shells and whale-watch on the beaches, & hike countless trails in one of our country’s most scenic & protected natural settings.

We look forward to having you as our guests!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

Second time staying at this gorgeous property

Our family of four stayed for two days after xmas. This property if so nicely situated in old Inverness and close to all trailheads. The views with trees all around is lovely. Having the privacy of the upstairs loft master bedroom from the teens below was also nice. Very functional design in kitchen, dining and living room. We will be back!

A cabin in the woods

We loved our stay in Loyd’s Lair and in Inverness in general, the town, the shops and the activities made it a fun few days. The house was that perfect balance of cute, and comfortable, with enough space for us to get away but also if enough for us to get together. The town is gorgeous and a deluge to walk around, albeit a little hilly. The shops have enough and further afield at point Reyes Station the market was perfect to buy supplies (the local Inverness shop was well stocked). Point Reyes was amazing an interesting place to explore.All in all the five days we spent were fantastic and the house just made things really easy.

Hidden perfect gem!

An attractive, cozy, and very comfortable retreat. Nestled in the redwoods looking down/out to views of the Tomales Bay. Incredible beauty! This home couldn’t have been more perfect! Sharing this with our friends during “the bomb cyclone”, we enjoyed the safety and comfort of this place. Well equipped kitchen, cozy fireplace, spacious rooms, comfortable beds. We would love to return when the weather is more accommodating, to enjoy the deck and the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. Whether rain or shine this is the perfect place to relax and restore. — Thank you Ewa and Robert for taking good care of us, and all the treats you brought us.

Great week in Inverness

Our week stay at Lloyd’s Lookout was just what we hoped for. Comfortable accommodations, well stocked kitchen (thanks for the yummy eggs!), beautiful deck in the trees for sitting out, great location for exploring the National Seashore and Point Reyes Station. Communication with Ewa, our local host, was excellent. We would recommend Lloyd’s Lookout to others looking for a comfortable retreat in a beautiful part of the world.

Charming cottage in the trees

We loved our recent stay at this newly renovated cottage. It has all of the old Inverness charm but with modern upgrades. Expansive deck was perfect for doing art with my teen daughter on Spring break. Loads of privacy while very close to old town Inverness and all of the Pt Reyes beaches and trail heads.

50th birthday occasion

My son marked his 50th with his younger sister and me, his mom. Pt Reyes NS was a favorite and frequent destination during their childhood. Fortunately, I booked this lovely cottage for our stay, knowing we might encounter bad weather...and we did - one of the "atmospheric rivers." But despite rain, wind and power outage, we enjoyed our meals, stayed warm and shared family stories. Hope to return again in the future!

Wonderful stay at Lloyd's Lookout

We had a very relaxing stay at Lloyd's Lookout. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, some flowers and chocolates on the kitchen table and fresh eggs in the fridge, which definitely formed a good first impression. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. The host, Ewa, was very responsive to all our communication and obviously takes good care of the property. We would definitely stay there again and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and other family.

Perfect property. Well stocked kitchen, including spices, oils, coffees, vinegars, fresh laid eggs, and a bottle of welcoming wine. The house is very homey, great views, comfortable beds, good linens, plenty of towels. One small wish for the future: the sofa in the living is best for laying down not for sitting. A replacement with good back support would be a plus. But, that is small compared to how wonderful and welcoming this house is.
