We have solar heat activated for pool in the May - November. We can heat the pool for an additional fee, just inquire. The pool is not suitable for children and infants for safety reasons and depth.
Guest access
Tucked at the end of a private road with full privacy yet minutes from the highway for easy access to the city. Also a great starting point to the wine country.
There are two buildings on each edge of the property separated by a large yard in between. The first is your charming guest house, the second is the house where we live. Guests are welcome to use that outdoor yard fully, as well as the private patio.
Guests are also welcome to use the beautiful cedarwood gas-fired sauna, heated pool and our medicinal herbal garden to brew their own herbal tea for the perfect relaxation retreat!
Other things to note
China Camp State Park (mountain biking heaven) and historic park/beaches, Muir Woods National Monument, Point Reyes National Seashore, west Marin oyster farms, Mount Tam hiking trails and beautiful Marin beaches are nearby.
We have security cameras on the property pointed at the driveway and front yard/entry.
Safe, ample street parking is available at the bottom; just park and walk up a short gravel path (less than 30 seconds uphill) to access the property. 
This is a lower studio unit in a two-story, two-unit building; there may be guests staying in the unit above. There was modern, heavy-duty sound-proofing added between the two units so that the only sound that may travel between is if someone wears hard shoes (we ask everyone to remove shoes).
