Inverness Vacation Retreat - Tomales Bay View!

Inverness Vacation Retreat is a 2 bedroom home near Chicken Ranch Beach where you can enjoy a weekend get away or a longer stay. Perched on a hillside amid madrones and oaks, this beautiful 2200 sq home overlooks Tomales Bay with views of the rolling hills north of Pt. Reyes Station.

The house has an open floor plan including architectural floor to ceiling poles giving the feeling of a tree house in the woods. The main living area has extensive floor to ceiling windows looking into the forest in one direction and towards Tomales Bay in the other. The small galley kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware you need to prepare a gourmet meal and a table that seats 6-8.

The home has fiber optic internet and a cell phone extender to improve spotty coverage in the area. There is a DVD/VCR player (and plenty of DVD and VHS! tapes to choose from) and HDTV (no cable TV but many channels are available). Or unplug with one of the homes many games or puzzles or pick up a book to read.

For sleeping, your group will have plenty of options and places to spread out. There are two bedrooms downstairs each with queen sized beds which provide privacy and a quiet oasis. Above the main living area there are two semi-private lofts, one with a queen-sized plus bed and the other with two twin futon mattresses, and several options on the main floor. The house has 1-1/2 baths upstairs, 1 full bath downstairs. The house's interior was painted recently and custom artwork installed.

Inverness Vacation Retreat is located a 5 minute walk from Chicken Ranch Beach and is accessible to all that the area has to offer – beaches, great hiking, and local restaurants. Inverness is just 0.6 miles away, and Point Reyes Station is 5.3 miles.

Come and enjoy – rest, relax, and get away to the Point Reyes area!

NOTE: The home has floor to ceiling windows and is located in a forested area. If you are looking for a very warm home during winter months, then this house will not be a good fit for you.
