- "We loved our stay in this charming cottage in Fairfax. We loved the skylights looking up to the treetops. Thank you!" - "Wonderful spot in a great neighborhood! Perfect for our family of 4. Exceptionally comfortable queen bed and sofa bed (we didn’t use the twin bed but I’m sure it’s good too!). I was a little apprehensive about the weather and lack of A/C in the Bay Area — it was July when we were there an unusually hot — but the redwood cover really does keep the house nice and cool. Teresa was very considerate and I enjoyed communicating with her. We were in town for a wedding at Deer Park Villa and actually walked to and from the venue! About 10 min walk there and 15 min walk to downtown Fairfax, which is a great little town. Can’t say enough about this rental and location!!"

New Additions: King-sized bed, new carpet and upgraded foam mattresses to sofabeds.

'Your house is truly a sanctuary, we fell in love with it as soon as we walked in the door.'

''We found the house amazing, each window in the house gives you a different view and perspective of the surrounding nature.'

'Thank you for letting us into your slice of paradise. Everything was wonderful from the decor and location to the smallest of details. Did I mention my wife wanted to move in?'

- "The beds were very comfortable, the views were lovely and the home was clean. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood too, we felt safe. Host was great to communicate with. We were concerned because we were traveling in the summertime and this home doesn’t have central AC. However, the bedrooms had ACs in them and so even tho the days in the common areas of the house were hot, we slept great in the cool bedrooms at night. In the mornings and at night, the common areas in the house cooled down too. The host left instructions on how best to use the fans in the house to cool everything down in the evening and we appreciated that. The town of Fairfax is cute and has great restaurants. Would love to visit again!"

- "Super chill 😎" - "Beautiful view, very close to town. Great location!!! Road is a bit tricky to get up to house, definitely need to go slow and pay attention for oncoming cars. Host was great, really didn’t require much while there since we were doing a lot of sightseeing." - "We had the most wonderful time at Vicki's beautiful property. Every aspect of this home is outstanding. The kitchen is fully equipped although we mostly had food delivered, the living room and dining room are small but cozy, the outside patio is large and so inviting, the bed was very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was fabulous! but the absolute best thing about Vicki's place is the view overlooking the infinity pool that absolutely took our breath away! We had lazy mornings by the pool or on the beautiful patio, then we would go and explore the surrounding area.... we hiked Mount Tamalpais which you can see from the pool! we visited some wineries, had a lovely long walk at Point Reyes, drove some of Route 1 and visited cute little towns but always made sure we were back to enjoy a few hours by the pool every afternoon with a cocktail. It was our favorite part of the day! We enjoyed our stay so much, it truly is a little slice of heaven. We hope to return again one day!"

- "Our family, especially my 6-year-old, loved staying in this adorable duplex for a quiet New Year's holiday weekend, literally steps away from downtown Fairfax. The host responded promptly to all of our inquiries. It's not a huge place but it's well designed and feels bigger than it is! The bunk beds in the mini rooms are really fun and surprisingly comfy. The mattress and pillows in the primary bedroom were also very comfortable. We were there on a rainy weekend, so it was great that they had so many streaming channels to choose from on the TV, and we spent a good chunk of time playing with the Ms. Pac Man arcade and the board games too, as we did not do as much outdoor exploring as initially planned. We did get one sunny day, and chose to drive out to Point Reyes to see the elephant seals, the lighthouse, and the beaches, a little over an hour away from the house (and the drive itself is lovely), though there are also plenty of things to see and places to hike closer by. The town is small, but they have some great dining options, all within an easy walking distance. We would definitely recommend this place for a small group or family! We truly enjoyed our stay."

- "Beautiful house, inside and out. Amazing attention to detail. I stayed a month and did not lack a thing. Able to easily explore Marin County, SF and much of Nor Cal from this base in Fairfax. My only caveat is for anyone having trouble with stairs. Not in the house but outside. Otherwise perfect." - "This lovely home is perfect for a couple looking for a longer stay, who appreciates the more graceful things in life: a beautiful setting, the refreshing ambiance of nature, a picturesque view, and the old-world lodge-style home. There are stairs to maneuver to the entrance and the lovely patio/garden area, but the neighborhood is quiet, the people friendly, and everyone is out strolling or walking their dogs. Rachele, the owner, could not be more gracious and helpful. The pride in her home is obvious, the amenities she offered were so thoughtful, and her artistic background is evident in all the touches within the home and throughout the property. It was a delight staying here!"
