Relax in Fairfax quiet cottage in the redwoods.


Our cozy 1921 cottage apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood beneath 19 200 foot redwood trees. In Fairfax, you're not too far from anything!
The town of Fairfax is a wonderful combination of boho arts, yoga, mountain bike riders,farmers market, lovers of good food and entertainment. We have two markets, one the "world-famous" Good Earth natural food store. Our house is within walking distance of the town center on a closed road with minimal car traffic

2 bedrooms. (1 Queen and 1 single)
Large living room area.
Full bathroom.

Jr kitchen, we have a toaster oven, microwave, coffee, and tea, so it's good for a little snack or breakfast.
We're located just 10 min walk to downtown Fairfax where there's lots of good food, bars with live music, yoga, and possibly the best ice cream shop ever.
The bus stop is located right downtown so it's easy to catch a bus to the city, or a shuttle to the beach.
You'll also be located a 10 min walk from loads of hiking and mountain biking trails in Deer Park. If you're feeling energetic you can hike up to one of the five lakes nearby, or just drive 20 min up the hill.

Cozy house in a beautiful setting.

The house is very eclectic and cozy. It sits in a lovely grove of redwoods and is very quiet. The surrounding neighborhoods are nice to walk around in. Teresa, the host was always immediately available to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our stay.

True Relaxation.

This is our 3rd time staying at this beautiful spot. Myself and my 3 brothers love to some, watch football and just recharge. Feels like Tahoe without the long drive. Can't wait to return.

Great writing escape in the Redwoods

Enjoyed a weekend away here to focus on my writing. Despite a day of torrential rain, the place was cozy and bright (nice skylights.) And the little creek running alongside, waking up to the Redwoods, and ease of communication made the whole visit wonderful.

This cottage was so lovely nestled in the redwood trees and outfitted so thoughtfully! We were visiting from Hawaii to go to a family wedding in LA and then drove to Fairfax to visit family near there. This little spot was so relaxing and cool and quiet.
