The Cliff House is situated on a hill above Tomales Bay. It is an open split level home with exposed beams and a huge great-room with amazing bay views. The beautiful master bedroom has a king size bed and attached full bath. It looks out through sliding glass doors over a large redwood deck with views of the bay. On the same level there is an additional 1/2 bath with a den next to it. The den has two twin beds. Downstairs there are two bedrooms and a full bath. Room #1 has two twin beds and garden views of the property and a view of the bay. Room #2 has a queen size bed and a twin bed and has a view of the bay. All rooms are appointed with comfortable bedding and have closets for storage (except the den).

A fully equipped kitchen is located on the upper floor with a stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer along with cookware and place settings for your gourmet meal. Adjacent to the kitchen is large dining table that can seat 10 and is parallel to the great-room's wall of windows! This is a perfect setting to enjoy a meal with a view, have a glass of wine, play a board game, and have many memorable conversations and moments. The great-room is a large common area on the upper level with a focus towards the wall of windows. There is a custom crescent shaped seating area that can accommodate 6 people around a round table and brick fireplace. Additionally there is a full sized couch and two large padded over-sized chairs perfect for reading a book or watching the birds swoop by in front of the windows. There is an HD flat screen TV and DVD player in the great-room and another flat screen TV and DVD player in the master bedroom. There are two speakers in the main part of the house that connect to a stereo; perfect for background music. The large deck is off the master bedroom and also accessible down from the great-room via a sliding glass door and set of stairs. There is a large outside landing with a table perfect to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The main deck has chairs, and lounge seats. This private house sits on one acre in a wooded and park like setting.

    Wonderful views, comfortable beds, very clean accommodations, well supplied kitchen and all the pluses we could ask for. My guests were very pleased with their stay. My wife thought it is the best rental we have stayed at in Inverness in the past 30 years!

    Amazing property showing signs of a well loved home. Had an issue with a kitchen appliance and it was addressed and resolved the same day. Very responsive. View from the home and decks are stunning. Would definitely stay again.

    The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults (who all like to have their own bed). The neighborhood is quiet, and it is a quick (but pretty steep) walk down to a public access beach area. It felt a little bit like a 1970's time warp, but I think that is reflected in the photos so it shouldn't come as a surprise. Everything is in good repair, the kitchen was well stocked, and the views of the bay are fantastic. We also appreciated that there was ample parking for our 5 vehicles...that is tough to find in this area.

    The cliff house is a wonderful place for a family reunion or other weekend get together. Amazing views, a lovely well stocked kitchen, and everything you need for a very comfortable time. It is also a perfect location. Marilyn communicates well and quickly. We had a wonderful time

    We loved our long weekend at the Cliff House! Low key and well crafted old NorCal vibe. The space was both cozy and spacious for our crew of 4 kids and 5 adults. Very equipped kitchen, functional fireplace, loads of games in the cupboards, and that view!!! Walking directly to Shell Beach was a huge bonus. We hope to return.

    The Cliff House was a perfect place to gather family from across the country for a beautiful California weekend wedding nearby. It had everything we needed, and was close enough to stores and restaurants, and a lovely beach, but set up on a beautiful hillside in a quiet neighborhood, with stunning views.

    A group of seven friends united to have our friend’s private memorial and a reunion this week. Plenty of space, well outfitted kitchen, comfy beds, plenty of soace, big dining room! It for the bill well. We enjoyed our time and the home is rustic but comfortable.

    This is our 4th annual Inverness visit and 3rd stay at cliff house. We are a group of childhood friends that were all born and raised in west Marin. We look forward to our summer visit every year and staying at cliff house feels like coming home.

    Beautiful location in the trees with views of Tomales Bay. Easy hike to a small beach that is pretty private. Recommend stopping in a larger town for groceries before arrival. Inverness and Point Reyes are both pretty small towns. They do have grocery stores for limited items. All the restaurants were quite good. It was a lovely and relaxing visit.

    We stayed here over the 4th of July week and it couldn’t have been more perfect! To be able to walk with the kids to Shell beach was a huge plus! Plenty of room for all of us and killer views!
