My wife and I spent 5 fabulous days in the most comfortable, calming and private quarters. Heather, the owner of the property, is most definitely a SUPER HOST! The accommodations were great. Everything we possibly could have needed was right there. We loved staying there and look forward to returning again.

Our second time here. As expected super tidy and up-to-date decor. Felt right at home. This time we were able to Mtn Bike super close by at a world class spot. We then attended a wonderful outdoor musical event in San Rafael and spend a day touring / eating our way through San Francisco. This is a wonderful hub for activities or just kicking back! We love it here!

This is a wonderful place to stay. The apartment is full of light, with a garden or mountain view from every room. The patio off the kitchen is beautiful and peaceful. The host is friendly and helpful and has placed many thoughtful touches around the apartment to make it as comfortable as possible. Great location for side trips to the redwoods and beaches. This is my second time staying here and I hope to come back.

We enjoyed our stay at Heathers property! Location was wonderful, we loved walking to Giaco's just down the street for AMAZING FOOD, and excellent coffee. Heather was absolutely amazing as well, she really made us feel comfortable! We stayed during the winter so we couldn't enjoy the outside at all - (rained every day), I'm sure it's even better during the summer months!

We had the most lovely time. While the area isn’t new to us, our stay at Heather’s place was our first time (and hopefully not last). We loved everything from the up to date decor, cleanliness throughout, thoughtful amenities and peaceful surroundings. It was super close to Spirit Rock and the hiking trails above her house are world class. Thanks Heather for your gracious welcome and lovely stay. We’d for sure do this again.

Peaceful Haven
My husband and I planned a short two night getaway to celebrate our 20th anniversary and to take a breath from the hectic pace of our lives. From the minute we stepped into this beautiful retreat, we felt our cares and worries slipping away. Troy and Heather have created such a welcoming, spacious and warm space to enjoy and we are already planning our next stay. It was immaculate and well equipped. The cozy outdoor courtyard is the perfect place to curl up with a good book. Heather went above and beyond as our hostess, welcoming us with a note, some fresh produce, including tomatoes grown in her garden, and a bottle of champagne for our 20th. It rained one day and she even left us a couple of umbrellas in case we wanted to have a rain walk. She thought of every detail and spoiled us with her thoughtfulness. She gave us some wonderful recommendations for meals and coffee. We enjoyed a delicious brunch at Giaco’s Roadhouse and coffee and muffins from Pump Espresso Bar. If you are looking for a place to relax and breathe deeply, this is just the spot for you.

Perfect Stay!
Had the most wonderful getaway here! Everything was impeccable - very clean, perfect size, so well decorated! The kitchen was stocked with all the items we needed to cook a meal, and we loved sitting outside on the warm evenings. The best part were all the thoughtful details and amenities Heather provided as our host. We were greeted with fresh flowers and several goodies upon our arrival, including an avocado and fresh tomatoes we added to our dinner! Heather also knew we were hoping to say hello to her kitties, so on our final morning she enticed Steph Purry to come out with some kibble to ensure we had a chance to meet him. As many other reviewers have noted, Heather is truly committed to making sure everyone truly enjoys their stay here! Highly recommend and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you, Heather!

Tranquil Perfection!
My partner and I booked Heather's place for a private getaway to write our vows and get some quality time together before we get married next weekend. We felt so cared for at Heather's place! It is full of thoughtful touches, from fresh flowers to soft bedlinens to nice bath products to a bowl of delicious garden tomatoes. She even set out a notebook for us to write our vows in and take, which we totally took her up on. You can hike right into the hills overlooking Kent Lake from the house, and bonus the neighborhood is spilling over with blackberries this time of year. We left feeling joyful and centered, exactly like we dreamed. Thank you!

We were delighted with this simply and beautifully decorated one bedroom apartment filled with natural light. The sliding glass door in the kitchen area opened out onto a lovely patio and a terraced hillside with flowers, trees, herbs and other plants—a rejuvenating space whether inside or outside. Our host, Heather, was very helpful in suggesting places in the area that we might like to visit and answering any questions we had. We hope to return again soon.
