Fox Retreat, a ranch-style home

Our beloved Fox Retreat is closed for the time being. If you’re interested in renting in Inverness, I host at other choice properties close by, that can accommodate a larger group too. Just get in touch and I’ll provide the link. The space The house will be put on the market for sale in the summer 2026, if you're interested in receiving information, please message us! The Fox Retreat Main House (10 guests) has a great central space (living room) with a fireplace and an open kitchen that allow families & friends to interact and spend time together. With vaulted ceilings and tastefully set up, it is a perfect house for family gatherings, small retreats and friends reunions! There are also many separate sitting "nooks" for reading or quiet conversations. The main house features 4 bedrooms, as well as 2 sleeping lofts and divan-style window seats. It accommodates 10 adults, when including the sleeping lofts, and we can provide a pack&play and floor cushions for 2-3 small children. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. There is a shared separate bathroom and a half-bath (sink and toilet), as well as a wonderful enclosed outdoor shower, situated just off of the “mud room” with its washer and dryer. While the Main House sleeps 10 people, if your group is larger (4 more guests) you can add-on the Guest Cottage for a small additional fee. The cottage is available for $220/night. Both houses are part of one property, though they have separate entrances and are 100 feet apart through a pathway in our garden, separated by a fence and a garden gate. The Guest Cottage may be rented separately, if the main house is reserved - Just get in touch! And either way, both cottage and main house experiences will remain private, in case there are separate rentals. For persons with limited mobility, there is a wheelchair ramp into the main house. Though there is no wheelchair-accessible shower, the main house and its decks are completely walker- and rollator-friendly; our 97-year-old mother loved her time there! Main house and cottage decks provide various sitting & dining areas, lounge chairs, a grill and views to the bay, hills & woods. A lower deck through the garden (below but within sight and earshot of the main house's decks) provides another relaxing area, with hammocks and sky chairs, and a swing for children. Our Guest Cottage has king bed and a modern, high-quality & comfortable queen pull out in the living room. The cottage has it's own deck and grill and features a full kitchen with all amenities, dining area, desk, full bathroom plus washer/dryer. In total, with both houses, we can accommodate 14 people and some small children: there are two king beds (one of which can be made into 2 singles), one queen, two single beds (in one room), one double, two sleeping lofts (twin bed size-one in a bedroom and one in the bedrooms circulation area), and queen (two-person) sofa-bed. Guest access Our property is part of the Point Reyes Peninsula, a few minutes’ drive from the towns of Point Reyes Station, Inverness and from different beaches along the Point Reyes National Seashore. A few trails are accessible on foot from our property. The nearest ocean beach is the magnificent Limantour Beach, an 18 minute drive. Kid-friendly Tomales Bay beaches are also within 20 minutes, with great swimming for adults and children. Other seashore towns, such as Marshall (oysters anyone?), Bodega Bay, Bolinas and Stinson Beach (with a lifeguarded beach) offer many opportunities for day outings and dining.

The house has skylights or big windows in some of the bedrooms. We provide 2 high-chairs (one does not have a front safety bar, and is to be pulled right up to the dining room table) and we also offer a pack&play that can be setup for infants. We ask that the garden gates be kept closed in order to protect our garden from the deer. The small town of Point Reyes Station (a 10 minute drive) has a well-stocked supermarket, open 8AM-8PM, in addition to its shops and restaurants. Check out the Saturday farmer's Market on main street 9AM-1PM (May-October) For details and other local tips, be sure to check out Cynthia’s Inverness guide on this app: https://www.airbnb.com/l/E7UAHFPV Stinson Beach a 30 min drive offers Stinson Beach is lifeguarded swimming in the park.
