Step into a real-life fairytale at our miniature Hobbit House, a charming and cozy redwood cottage perfect for a romantic getaway or an artistic retreat. Handmade and artful, the cottage is filled with rustic character, from the old-fashioned arched windows to the unique tree branch staircase that leads to the airy loft.

The main floor also includes a lounge area, a bathroom with a vintage clawfoot tub and a warm water bidet, and a hand-tiled, old-fashioned kitchen.

This versatile area includes a study/studio space and additional sleeping areas with a queen futon and a single futon.

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Debra T. 8 Dec 2025 The cottage was not as pictured. Every inch was spectacularly cluttered with small and large items making it extremely difficult for anyone to move around comfortably. There were blankets and other throws on the couch that were unpleasantly smelling of what seemed like spoiled milk. The electrical a were dangerous with many cords plugged into hanging extensions. While it was helpful to have instructions, the walls were also cluttered with signs. Some of the artwork was lovely but again, spectacularly cluttered- literally in every available space. The cabin was also quite damp and musty. I have stayed in many places, and this one stands out as one of the strangest and least comfortable, which is truly a shame, as the location (Bolinas) is lovely and a favorite for weekends away ##### Debra T.

The "hobbit" house (self proclaimed) was a perfect get away from the city. The house was clean and cozy. What we weren't expecting was 1) issues with the propane heater that caused us to question whether we were dealing with some type of gas leak (my partner and I both woke up with extreme migraines and the dog vomited out of the blue) and 2) a lack of outlets but a concerning number of extension cords leading us to be worried of a safety hazard. To be fair, we did not contact the owners before we left, but we did email them as we were leaving, about 16 hours after we got there. I am sure that some people wouldn't mind the issues we found as problems, but it is important for renters to have all of the information. ##### Roz C. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce S. 23 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Unique house in fantastic location. Required some practice to move around in, and a little physical flexibility, so maybe not ideal for those very advanced in years. Also the kitchen didn't have a lot of clear counter space, which made it a little hard to cook, for those interested in that. But all in all, a one-of-a-kind house that took as back in time and was the perfect little cottage for a relaxed long weekend in Bolinas. ##### Bruce S.

A very interesting place. Some spaces a little tight for us (both over 6ft tall). ##### Thomas N.

Stairs fine for us but outside stairs may be better for some. Overall, really cool spot! ##### nancy n.

But can be quite cold so bring warm clothes to layer, starting with a silk teeshirt, and you'll be fine. Also, kindling for the fire is a necessity! ##### ellen h.

Loved how fun the layout of this cottage was and the location right in town and so close to the beach. Wasn’t able to get the outdoor soaking tub to get hot water on my last night, but the indoor tub was just as nice surrounded by all those plants! Be cognizant that if you’re a party or 2 + there are water restrictions, but I’d say for 1-2 people it would be perfect. Would definitely be happy to come back again :) ##### Alyssa R.

Very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen where we cooked our meals, wonderful fireplace. Lovely walks in Bolinas and the beach, beautiful drives in the surrounding area. Sha-Sha was most helpful whenever we had questions. A very special adventure! ##### gerard d.

Loved the soaking tub out back and all of the skylights. I stayed here with my two small kids and they liked it here alot, we just had to watch them with the stairs/sleeping loft... The cabin is eccentric and and cobbled together in a unique way- I loved all the different textiles and sculptures. The bed in the bedroom downstairs is super comfortable too. We got a lot out of a short 2 day vacation! ##### paulina b.

VERY quirky and not for those who need room to stretch out or a serene, spare setting. If you’re prepared to enter into a Bolinas mindset and have a bit of an adventure, you’ll enjoy it, but it’s not your average VRBO. The owners do a lovely job of providing all the comforts of home and then some, with helpful pointers and little signs everywhere guiding you through the world that they’ve created. ##### Anne D.

It was a terrific base for hikes on Tam, strolls on the mesa, and lots of beach trips. We were thrilled to be able to bring our well-behaved dog with us. (And Sha Sha makes it easy, with plenty of dog towels on hand.) While it was perfect when the weather was good, the place felt pretty small for us with the dog when it rained all day. If you are bringing a pup, I recommend going when it is dry -- you will love it. ##### Alison H.

Tiny and cozy, living in the dollhouse of our dream my sister and I enjoyed the unexpected luxury (heated toilet seat!) modern convenience automatic lights, plants and flowers…and BOlinas of course. My sister and I are small old ladies yet we used the outside stairs which are convenient. It’s like living on a boat. ##### Emily C.

House was clean, welcoming, and it took us days to take it all in. Even after a week, I would discover something new I hadn’t seen before - quite the artist experience! Beyond comfortable, there is a very pleasant and helpful feeling to the whole property. We adored it all. Bolinas is a treat, it was quite a priveledge to simply walk home from the beach and not have to drive somewhere on 1\. We grocery shopped, ate out, and got coffee at 7am, all within walking distance. We will return, it was a memorable family vacation. ##### Luke A. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ---
