Frank's Place on Inverness Ridge is a charming Point Reyes rental home with panoramic bay views. With spacious living and sleeping areas, wifi and an outdoor hot tub, it's the perfect lodging for families on a Point Reyes adventure or couples seeking a secluded and romantic getaway.

The natural setting is spectacular, with lush surrounding forest giving way to open vistas and rough-and-tumble rhododendron gardens. Here on the ridge nights are dark and quiet, and mornings are beautiful whether drenched in clear light or sheathed in fog. Birds are abundant, including resident Pileated Woodpeckers and many others changing with the seasons. Ravens and hawks ride the winds out over the canyon. Scan the gardens or the meadow below and you may see deer, or even a fox or bobcat.

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.

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.

    Frank’s Place is a true gem in Inverness. The owners and the innkeepers go out of their way to make your stay the best possible experience. We cannot wait to return next year!

    Peaceful, comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and view. Quiet. Close enough to Pt Reyes Station to visit with no trouble. Far enough away to feel removed from tourism or weekend crowd. Private.

    Frank’s Place has been our family’s home away from home for over a decade. It is in a safe, peaceful and beautiful area of CA. It is well appointed and very comfortable. Easy from check in to check out. It’s a good home base for so many andve and trails in the area. Our family includes teens and grandparents and everyone always comes away with happy memories and a plan to return to Frank’s Place.

    Frank’s Place was such a wonderful stay! So incredibly beautiful and peaceful. Scott was a wonderful host and was very accommodating. The inn keeper was also very helpful and ensured that we had a wonderful stay. Frank’s Place had so many special touches, including for our pups. The bed was incredibly comfortable which is important for someone with back problems. And the hot tub was the perfect touch after long days of hiking. We would definitely stay again.

    Been coming here for about 7 years for my birthday. Feel so at home here. Cooked most of our meals here. Everything is provided in terms of cookware, baking pans and equipment. Decks and outdoor seating areas with views of the trees, water, and birds. Highly recommend.

    Love Frankes place. The good- Large roomy home. Nice decks with bbq. Great selection of kitchen appliances and gadgets. Great master bed, very comfortable! Very secluded location, could not see another home. Huge selection of book and cds , probably over 100 of each! The not so good- Several windows that either have moisture between panes or a heavy film on the outside. Swivel chairs in living room have dirty/ greasy stains on the arms. Wouldn’t sit in them, need to be cleaned or replace. Sun shade above kitchen table is rotted from exposure to sun. Coming apart in places. The Terra cotta tile in the kitchen needs a good cleaning. Walked through the kitchen several times while preparing and eating dinner while wearing white socks. Sock bottoms had an incredible amount of nasty grime on them Actually threw socks away and put shoes on. Frank’s is a great place that is due for some maintenance. All that being said we would probably return in hopes of some maintenance being done.

    From the welcoming wood, to the beautiful views, to the fabulous hot tub, this is the ideal getaway for our annual men’s group retreat. Our only request is to make the bed in upstairs office more comfortable and with drawers for clothes in that room, too.

    We’ve been vacationing in Inverness over the past 18 years. Frank’s Place is our go to place to stay and our family has come to think of it as our home away from home. So many great memories made over the years. It’s a lovely home and I’m amazed at its versatility. It very comfortably accommodates everyone from as young as toddlers to seniors. The home has a fair amount of stairs, so maybe not suited for those for mobility challenges, but our 83 year old grandpa managed just fine. We will continue to come to Frank’s Place and are so grateful to Scott for sharing his slice of heaven.

    Frank's place was the perfect spot for 3 generations to be together...from the beautiful surroundings, proximity to point reyes seashore, to the comfortable accommodations, and wealth of books and games ( not to mention the hot tub), we thoroughly enjoyed our stay...the only thing that would have made it even better, would have been a few less twists and turns up the road!!! Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

    Excellent location and beautiful setting. WiFi is a bit shaky but does come on. Loved the decks and hot tub. A little tricky to find.
