A perfect retreat

The view off the deck is nothing short of spectacular. If you love birds, this is the place for you! The house is quaint but well equipped (kitchen, linens, library, etc). It's a 5-minute drive from Pt Reyes town, which has an amazing bakery and plenty of restaurants.

Breathtaking view in peaceful location

My friend and I had a very relaxing few days in this beautiful home. We love to hike and its proximity to so many hiking trails in the Pt. Reyes National Seashore was a big plus. The configuration of the house was perfect with each bedroom on an opposite side of the house, with its own bathroom. Each bedroom has sliding doors onto the deck and the same fabulous view you can see from the entire house. The kitchen was well appointed, the bed was comfortable, and the art and furnishings were a very nice addition. Patty was very responsive and made the entire process easy. We highly recommend this house!

Special trip to celebrate my 60th birthday

We love visiting Point Reyes. The neighborhood that this short term rental is located in is quiet and peaceful. The view of the preserve allowed us to see various bird activity, the changing of the tides, sunrises, and open space. The views could be seen throughout the house The bed in the primary bedroom was exceptionally comfortable. We will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Patty Glatt

Patty bought the property in Point Reyes in 1989. She felt like the luckiest person in the world. While working two jobs she spent late nights imagining her 'dream house'. She had never designed anything. After two years of reading about design, principles of kitchen flow, Japanese gardening, and energy efficiency, she presented her plans to a local designer-builder. The home was completed in 1992. The Southwest orientation maximizes views and solar passive energy. The street side remains private with few windows. Two large bedroom suites placed at opposite wings of the home optimizes the view and privacy for all occupants. The central common area is unifying. The open kitchen can accommodate many working simultaneously. The loft is a great place to get away for a nap. As Patty's nephew uses a wheelchair, she designed the doorways and halls wide and the second bathroom is handicap friendly. The master bath indoor-outdoor design pulls you into the garden. Its wrap-around deck overlooks the wetlands facing westward towards the sunset and Inverness ridge. Most visitors spend their time there relaxing, barbecuing as the sun sets, and watching the carpet of stars as the Milky Way sweeps overhead.

Why they chose this property

Point Reyes is located approximately 22 miles north of San Francisco, in West Marin. Close enough to drive out to for the day, yet remote and authentically rural.
When I moved to Point Reyes in 1987 to practice Family Medicine, I loved that it had postal boxes where neighbors gathered. I still love how all you need can be found within 4 blocks.

What makes this property unique

Located on the Point Reyes Mesa across from Inverness Park. Stroll within a private neighborhood, passing a small pond, Cypress groves, and daffodils. We are located one scenic mile north beyond the town of Point Reyes. A favorite day starts with a morning cup of rich coffee and sticky morning buns from the Bovine Bakery, browsing at the Point Reyes Books independent bookstore, and catching the local farmers market in the Summer and Fall at Toby's Feed Barn. Purchase all else at the local Palace market and the Cow Girl Creamery deli replete with local cheese, oven-baked bread, and pick up some local grass fed organic meats at Sun Farms. Or prepare your lunch in our well stocked kitchen before heading out to the Point Reyes National Seashore Headquarters for a full day's hike. The Point Reyes National Seashore contains unique elements of biological and historical interest in a spectacularly scenic panorama of thunderous ocean breakers, open grasslands, bushy hillsides and forested ridges. Drive out to the Lighthouse stopping along the landscape characterized by spectacular shorelines, dairy farms and over 65,000 acres of wilderness protected by the Point Reyes National Seashore. Head home stopping for fresh mussels and oysters from local shellfish Hog Island farms to grill on the barbecue, or select from fine or casual dining options.
