A hassle from the very start…read more From the moment we started planning our vacation we were getting the runaround from this company about which house we were able to get. After double booking our house they decided to cancel our ALREADY CONFIRMED reservation and gave it to another group. After completely disregarding our request to keep us in the house we wanted originally , we were willing to accept the lesser option just to salvage the vacation. On the very first night we get there we have "security" banging on the door dressed in some sort of motorcycle gang jacket complaining about how many cars are in the driveway. How do you offer a house that sleeps 10 and only allow 4 cars in the driveway. Not a very comforting start...... On the next day during the afternoon we get a knock at the door by a very angry overweight woman going on and on how many times she called the property and how upset she was that she" had to drive all the way out here" while waving a document around saying that we have to sign a letter charging our guest 150 dollars for every person who's over 10 people cumulative in the house??? After we signed the letter we felt at all times we were being watched like little children. Personally we didnt pay $1000 FOR 2 DAYS to feel like a prisoner in a house we didnt want in the first place! I'd say this place is more stress than it's worth, combine that with a crappy weather in bodega bay, and it's not much of vacation at all . Honestly we were better off having a backyard party than ever thinking of coming out to Dillon beach and using this company was a good idea .I will never do business with or recommend this company to anyone and im glad the nightmare is over!!!

Do you plan on vacationing at Dillon Beach? Do you plan on having a great time? If you do, DO NOT…read moreVACATION WITH THIS RENTAL COMPANY!!! The management is terrible! While we stayed here it felt like we were being watched and reported on! One too many cars in the driveway? Phone call. TV on with some music? Knock on the door. Standing on the deck? Eyes on your every move. I'm not going to complain about the house, it was actually pretty nice, but having to deal with management and the thought of being charged extra fees for every little thing was stressful and not worth the stay! So if you plan on vacationing at Dillon Beach, I'll say it again, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

We came away rested and restored. My biggest issue with B&Bs is that we often find the hosts endlessly intrusive. I understand they want to help, but as an introvert, their presence often grates. Jan and Lou, though, were very thoughtful about letting us enjoy the peace and quiet their cottage provides. It was a delight to have the freshly-made morning meals dropped off for us to deal with at our own pace. The store in Tomales, which is a pleasant walk from the cottage, provided us snacks and lunches. And there are a lot of options for dinner nearby. Our favorite was the Bodega Casino (which is neither a bodega or a casino, but a bar), where in the evenings they have pop-ups with amazing local chefs. I also really appreciated Jan giving us a tour of their farm and teaching us about the business of it. We were really impressed with their industry and acumen. We'll definitely be back!

Stone Ranch is an enduring legacy of Peter Mullins, who devoted his life to stones, and it has now been lovingly opened to the public by his daughter, Genevieve Mullins. Spread across acres of redwoods, this open air museum holds a collection of extraordinary stone art installations and a few unique dwellings perfect for retreats, weddings, and special events. Absolutely not to be missed when you're in the area. Plan at least 2-3 hours to enjoy the art rain or shine (as a matter of fact some installations come alive with color when raining).
