Enjoy a cup of tea snuggled up in one of the bench seats. Cook a gourmet meal in the fully-appointed kitchen. Feel the warmth from the wood-burning stove and the radiant-heated floors. Appreciate the views of Mount Vision from the private deck. Listen to the sound of the birds as you soak in the hot tub. Relax in the peace and tranquility.

This and much more is Yvetot Guest House. Designed and built from largely recycled materials in 2003 by our architect son to accommodate visits from our ever-growing family, it is truly a magical place which we love to share. It is ideal for couples, family vacations and anyone seeking a quiet retreat, but is not suitable for parties or group gatherings.

Yvetot is a mile up from the town of Inverness and close to ocean-side and bay-side beaches. Hiking trails abound from just up the street and you are minutes away from the spectacular beauty of Point Reyes National Seashore.

The house, which is 800 square feet, comfortably sleeps six people: two in the master bedroom and four in the 'children's room' - two twin beds and two twin futons with sleeping bags in the loft.

Yvetot has Wifi, plenty of DVD's, CD's to play on the Bose music system (into which you can plug your phone/tablet), books, games and toys to entertain everyone.

Come and have a wonderful time!

A HEAVENLY SPOT

My wife and I have stayed at Yvetot many times. We always love it. The view of the empty hills, with the fog rolling in, is incomparable. It's quiet, except for the wind and the woodpeckers (and an occasional plane very high in the sky). Great kitchen, comfy bed. And serene!

Secluded bliss

Wow what a great spot! We came for a long weekend with our 5 and 2 year old. The home is very secluded away from the main house with beautiful mountain views and dark night skies to view stars. The fire road and trails just up the road provided a great winter's walk with little streams, ferns and tree tunnels. The home itself is a beautiful modern home with reclaimed wood detailing, comfortable radiant heated floors, cute sleeping lofts for kids, and an extremely well appointed kitchen suitable for some serious cooking. Kids appreciated the hot tub!

Rent this if you can

We could not be happier with our stay at Yvetot. The home was just as described; it’s a beautiful cabin with an easy flow, a great kitchen to cook in surrounded by a beautiful forest. Our hosts were available to answer our questions. It was clear that they are personally invested in the property. We also enjoyed walking our dogs around the neighborhood. I cannot recommend this rental more.
