We diligently kept the windows and doors closed during our stay, but we woke up the next morning with at least 20 bites between the two of us. The buzzing in our ears woke us up too.

Creamer, coffee, tea, eggs, butter, english muffins, jellies, and fruit provided. Cute, boho style furniture with some shaker style pieces - very nicely decorated. Sheets and bedding very nice and comfy. Lovely white fluffy towels (bring your own robe - I was glad that I did!). Beautiful blue and white tiled bathroom with shower only - wonderful water pressure and hot water! Tony and Jan supply body wash, shampoo, and conditioner (Neutrogena Rainbath and Pantene at the time of my visit). Small wood-burning stove with logs and all the tools needed to keep a fire going. Wifi signal was great - I watched some Netflix and joined a Zoom meeting from my own computer and had no issues with either. Hot tub was great. Outdoor space to sit at a nice table with four chairs and a nice looking BBQ. I saw an elk roaming on the property, lots of quail and other birds (they have a pictorial guide of birds hanging by the front door right as you walk in). The yurt is on a gravel road. You pass the neighbor's sheep and horses as you drive in. Point Reyes Station is literally right around the corner - a 2-3 minute drive - with lots of food, great markets and shopping. Inverness is a 5-minute drive (if that). The yurt is very conveniently located. I passed Jan and Tony and Stella, their dog, on the way out one night - very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. I will be thrilled when the opportunity comes to visit again!!

The innkeeper, Bob, greeted us in person when we arrived around 11:30pm; He personally showed us to our room and calmly described how ordering breakfast worked, gave us wifi credentials, and then let us relax. If you're looking for upscale luxury, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for an exceptionally clean, cozy, and well run B&B than look no further. You're staying in a tranquil, untroubled place that persuades you to decompress and clear your mind. Notable Amenities: - WiFi - Feminine products in the bathroom - Novels and light music - Fireplace - Continental breakfast - Binoculars - Hiking backpack - Mini refrigerator What is provided to you promotes relaxation and exploring your surroundings. We spent our mornings in the room eating breakfast, listening to Claude Debussy and watching the mist clear over the bay. We then headed out to go kayaking all day, had oysters and champagne for dinner, then retreated back to the B&B to cozy up in front of the fire. *Note About Breakfast* Breakfast is brought to your room and includes the following: tea, orange juice, and an assortment of breads (blueberry, coffee, pumpkin, poppyseed, etc.) *Note About Your Surroundings* You are near a few restaurants, and a light breakfast is provided, otherwise not much is around. I would suggest bringing some fruits/veggies and other light snacks when you are out during the day.

I've cycled a lot around Point Reyes and taken many one-day road trips, but I've never really…read moreexplored the area extensively due to a lack of time. That recently changed thanks to the recent overnight accommodations provided by the Black Heron Inn. Located in Point Reyes Station, about a 5-minute drive from downtown, it's the perfect place to stay when exploring Point Reyes. I had done quite a bit of research on accommodations in the area, but the options seemed to either be way too expensive or way too "patchouli" for my taste. The Black Heron Inn was the perfect fit for me and my wife. They have three guest rooms, and due to the lack of availability of the other rooms, I selected the Grand View Suite. And what a "Grand View" it was. My strong suggestion is not to plan too much during the late afternoon because you'll want to open a bottle of wine and enjoy the view from the outdoor deck or the dining room table before heading off to dinner for some oysters. The clean and well appointed rooms have a small refrigerator, a small microwave, and a toaster as well as dishes and silverware, so make sure to bring some ready to eat food with you to store in the room since food is not provided. We personally picked up some breakfast savories and sweets from Brickmaiden Breads, and our mornings were set. Coffee is provided along with a Cuisinart Coffee maker. If you don't like your coffee black or enjoy creamers, be sure to pack some milk for the fridge. The proprietors are pretty hands-off when it comes to guest interaction (which is just fine), but they are very responsive if necessary. One thing I did learn while talking to them briefly was that they have a lot of repeat customers. Based on our recent stay, I can see why!

There are plenty of bedrooms for all your friends. To get to them you take the spiral staircase up or down. On the bottom floor there are a couple of bedrooms, a bathroom and the apartment. Then up to the main floor, the next floor up is two more bedrooms and a bathroom. The next floor up is the octagon room and has amazing views. While not a bedroom it is spectacular to sit in, and if in the mood to sleep on the couches and fall asleep with those views. Across the bridge is the spa deck and sitting in the spa under the trees is so relaxing Staying here is really amazing. The owner and his family are the nicest people but you probably won't see the since they want you to enjoy yourselves and the tranquility of the area.

That is the most amazing rooms I've ever stayed in. You are up in the sky almost. After a certain hour, only you can use the deck with the oh yes, hot tub on it. I'd say the only minus to this place is you have to go outside to use the restroom. To reach this room from the inside you get to climb a spiral stair case and open the door like an attic style, or you can do the boring way and enter in from outside.

We cooked a lot there, and the kitchen was beautifully kitted out. The cottage offers all the creature comforts, including a hottub with a view; about the only problem that we had while we were there was that we couldn't get the Internet access to function, and there was no cell phone coverage, so it was an off-the-net experience; this added to the serenity. The views across Tomales bay from three directions are magical (but be warned: this is probably not a good house for families with small children - there is not much barrier on the patio) Well worth the money, and highly recommended.

Although it's located just 40 miles north of San Francisco, this place feels completely different from the Bay Area. The idyllic, rural setting (complete with sheep, ducks, and chickens) makes Morning Glory Cottage a wonderful retreat for rest and recuperation. AMBIANCE This place is imbued with a calming sense of tranquility and serenity. Even though it is right off the road, we rarely noticed any traffic noise. The only sounds that we heard were the leafs rustling, birds chirping, ducks quacking, bees droning, rooster crowing, and the farm dog barking. FURNISHING We chose this cottage primary because it is dog friendly and because it has a kitchenette furnished with pots, pans, plates, bowls, and utensils (so we're not forced to eat out every meal). Here are some of the other nice things that we liked about the place: + hand-written welcome note + a basket of fresh chicken and duck eggs + free WiFi + private patio As well-appointed as the cottage is, it is by no means perfect. Here are some minor deficiencies that we noticed during our stay: - there were plenty of hand soaps but no bath soap - there was a barbeque grill but no charcoals - there was a hand towel in the kitchen but no napkins - the skylight makes it hard to sleep in late PRICE $125 a night during the week days (Monday through Thursday). $135 a night during the weekend (Friday through Sunday).

I've been to about 10 B&B's and this has been the worst. The breakfast is very simple (did I mention spartan?) and we didn't feel any love from the innkeeper. This Swedish B&B has 3 guest rooms. The Dalarna room is very spacious (and spartan) for a couple and a baby. They do suggest that you bring a crib, they will charge you for a mattress if it is damaged by the baby (meaning poop, pee, etc). You have to request a TV and a cute old guy will come and put a 12 inch flat-screen in your room. It seemed like he was struggling to put the all the cords together, he was mumbling something and I didn't understand what he said about the cable channels. I don't know why they don't just leave the TVs in the rooms, it seems like a hassle for the old man. He's the only one who could do it too, the lady innkeeper will not do it! There is a small private patio outside, too bad the seats were dusty and had cobwebs. The bathroom must be for tall Swedish people because I could only see my forehead when I looked in the mirror. If you're 5 foot like me, make sure you bring a stool! The weekday breakfast was lame. There was only one other couple with us that week. On day 1, we had muffins (that was excellent, by that way), granola, berries, weird crackers, and a tiny plate of very thin slices of cucumber, tomato, and cheese. On day 2, we had scones, granola, cantaloupe, watermelon, the same weird crackers, and again thin slices of cucumber, tomato, and cheese. There were only 2 pieces of watermelon and 2 pieces of cantaloupe so we asked for more. The innkeeper said they didn't have anymore watermelon but gave us 2 small pieces of cantaloupe. Really?? Just 2??? How sad. It seemed as if the innkeeper didn't like having guests or she's just angry. We asked for ice and she said, "What for?" We asked for extra washcloths since we were there for 3 days and she said, "Oh you you didn't prepare for the baby?" I asked for another bath towel and she was obviously irritated. She knocked on the door 10 minutes before the checkout time and angrily reminded us that check out time was at 11:00. I asked if we could stay for 1/2 an hour because my baby was still sleeping and she said, "No, you're baby has to sleep in the car. I have the cleaners here, they have to clean now." Then she gave me a long lecture about check out times but I tuned out. What a cold-hearted woman!!!! The cleaners weren't even done with the other rooms, why couldn't we stay until they were ready for our room?!?! I would recommend this place because the farmhouse is lovely. If you don't mind a small, spartan breakfast then this place is great! But I'm warning you, the innkeeper doesn't want to be bothered by paying customers. Don't ask for anything and you'll be fine!

First the nice things: lovely rooms with a good breakfast…read more But that is pretty much it - there is no service, in fact the innkeeper/owner is absent most of the time (no one at the desk for about 90% of the day) and when you DO see her, she barely hides her irritation at having to help you at all. We felt like unwanted guests rather than cherished customers, and were glad to leave. Other services were also absent - the beds weren't made, rooms not cleaned, there were notes all over the place with rules (no shoes, no cups on tablecloths, no kleenex in toilet) all of which were designed to make life easier for the inn-keeper. No rules were available for the benefit of the guest at all. The experience of a B&B where the innkeeper guides you towards activities, local treasures and insider information and a friendly warm demeanor is entirely absent from this place. Stay away.
