We had the perfect stay, which began with a lovely welcome note from the hosts. Every detail is well-thought-out and perfectly executed. From drinks in the frig to snacks that hit the spot for these weary, flight-delayed travelers, we felt well provided for in every way. We'll definitely be returning when the North Bay is in our travel plans again.

This is a lovely place to stay in a lovely town. The owners, who are onsite but very respectful of privacy, are excellent. Felt very homey. Highly recommend.

Don't hesitate to book Steve and Susan's place. It is as beautiful as the pictures. The space is very well equipped for two people. My husband and I stayed for five nights and felt very at home. If you want to cook some of your meals, the kitchen has everything you need. The bed is very comfortable. The location is great for doing a variety of things in the Bay area. My husband and I went to Napa, Muir Wood and Beach, did a tour of San Francisco (we took the Larkspur ferry instead of driving), and spent time in the cute San Rafael downtown area. We also had the privilege to meet Steve and Susan and they are great people.
