Welcome to Frank's Place on Inverness Ridge, a classic Inverness retreat surrounded by nature with panoramic bay views. With spacious living and sleeping areas, an outdoor hot tub, and a spectacular natural setting, it's the perfect Point Reyes lodging for families, small groups, or couples. Though new to Airbnb, Frank's Place has a long and impeccable rental history elsewhere with over 70 five-star reviews since 2009. It has become a beloved getaway from many return guests! This classic Inverness style home was designed and built by local architect Jim Campe in 1986. The living room, bedrooms, decks and hot tub all face out over forested parkland to Tomales Bay and the hills beyond. In the main living area wood and tile floors and high, beamed ceilings create an expansive and elegant atmosphere, while clearstory windows capture the afternoon sun. Just down the hall, the carpeted master suite features a king-size bed and large private bathroom with two sinks, giant tub and walk-in shower. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms with a shared second bathroom. A queen-size bed and TV in one of the bedrooms make it great for a second couple. The other is just right for kids, with two twin beds. A large inflatable mattress and porta-crib are also available if needed. Step out onto the downstairs porch to access the private hot tub. An additional office room upstairs includes a sofa/daybed that can be made up for yet another sleeping option. WiFi from a cable Internet connection is available throughout, and there's a small computer in the office if you didn't bring your laptop. Cable TV is present upstairs and down, as well as a stereo system in the living room. CDs, games, puzzles, art and many books are here for your enjoyment. The entire house is yours. Our local innkeepers live just up the road and are always available to help or answer any questions. Frank's Place is on Inverness Ridge about a mile up the (steep!) hill from the main road heading into Inverness. It's a very quiet area, and though houses are not close together sound does carry, so please no loud noise or outdoor music. If you're a veteran Point Reyes visitor you probably already have your own list of favorite hikes, beaches and activities--but we'll be happy to offer some suggestions. If you are new to the area you'll be amazed by the beauty and diversity of the Point Reyes National Seashore landscape, and charmed by the small but culturally rich towns of Inverness and Point Reyes Station. Fine dining at any of several great restaurants, delectable treats and coffee at the Bovine Bakery , and a wealth of local, organic and artisan food products are all just minutes away. Be sure to save some time for browsing the local shops and galleries. The driveway has parking for two cars, three if the others get blocked in. Note there are steps leading down from the driveway to the front door. The house is heated by a central boiler system. In cold weather the heat will be turned on before you arrive. Space heaters are also available. The living room has a fireplace with a fire already set for you, plenty of firewood available.
