    It was wonderful to have the whole family together for our son's wedding. The only thing that could have made it better was adding another bathroom. But we were fine and it is a beautiful house with an amazing view.

    This property was perfect for our family to meet for Christmas. It has a spacious common room and a kitchen amenable for a crowd. The manager and owner were very responsive with a couple of issues upon check in. It's a little dated from the online description, but has plenty of space. Overall a great experience.

    Overall this is a great property. I had 19 guests stay here to attend my son's wedding in Deer Park Villa in Fairfax, CA. MY guests loved the place. Very spacious, excellent views. Doe to rains they could not entirely enjoy. For such a large home, with the incessant rains, my guest did not complain of cold. The heating system worked really well. The property was clean upon check in which was easy. Convenient to all the sights. One small issue was, in the entry level bath room, the sink seemed to drain slowly. This may need to be looked into by the property manager. Otherwise, no issues. I would definitely book this property again for a family gathering.

    This property was perfect for our team offsite of 14 people! The great room was huge and dynamic - we were able to move furniture around to accommodate our meetings and presentations, team dinner, a cocktail class, and even a team yoga session! The deck and its views were great for fresh air breaks between sessions. Anna, the property manager, was super responsive, and the process of getting vendors approved through her was relatively easy. Some might say that the fixtures and furniture were a touch outdated, but you honestly will not be able to beat the price of this large and accommodating venue. Everything was immaculately cleaned, and I loved that the kitchen provided more than enough NICE dinnerware for all of our meals. My team was super happy with the experience. Thank you Anna for your hospitality. We hope to be back again! :)

    The location and view are fabulous. It is a big house with lots of sleeping options. The dishwasher didn't work well and leaked. The floor was warped by the dishwater due to on-going leaks. The heating system was not balanced. In one bedroom on the main floor, the furnace sounded like a jet engine and the heat was blown out of the vent at gale force. That bedroom was not usable as the temperature was 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the rest of main floor. The other bedroom on the main floor was also much warmer. The door to that room and the window had to be open to be able to sleep in it. A kitchen drawer was broken and not usable. A kitchen bar stool was broken also. It is a safety hazard and we were surprised that it was in the kitchen. It was quite cold in the downstairs bedrooms. The sliding glass patio door in the upstairs bedroom was very difficult to lock. There are a number of other maintenance issues at the house.

    We stayed at Marin Vista House for a family girls weekend, and this house had plenty of space to accommodate our group of 17. Communication with the property managers was fantastic, they were very responsive when we had a few questions. The house is in a beautiful location with amazing views. Our itinerary included hiking in the redwoods, visitng Napa/Sonoma, and activities in downtown SF so this was a perfect central spot between everything we wanted to do. Would definitely recommend this property to others!

    This was the perfect location and everything in the home was exactly as described. The house was perfect for our rehearsal dinner, views were incredible, there was plenty of space and plenty of plates, glasses, and cutlery. If you are a chef, bring your own knives and platters - not enough of these. We had a great time nonetheless.

    I booked this house because of the location and the number of beds. I was taking my family on a trip for my 60th birthday celebration along with my sister's 55th and my sister in law's 50th. There were 11 adults and 5 children. The rooms were wonderful and everyone had a bed to sleep in. The views from the terraces are amazing! The location is perfect if you are going to San Francisco and nearby towns - Stinson Beach, Berkeley, Sonoma, Napa...

    This home was absolutely perfect for our wedding weekend. It was comfy, clean, and had nice open areas perfect for congregating. The house was well equipped with cooking and grilling utensils. The only slight inconvenience we had was a neighbor coming to the property to scold us about parking; however based on the owner's parking guides and our own review of the City's street parking limitations and official maps, we knew we weren't violating any parking limitations. We tried our best to placate her anyway and moving the cars into a different configuration seemed to satisfy her. All of us were truly sad to leave this house come check-out. It did a wonderful job of creating a home for us that weekend. The hosts were easy to get in contact with as well!
