Family Gathering in Point Reyes
We had a family event at Heidrun Meadery (sparkling mead) and Fox Cabin was the perfect place to stay for getting in and out of town as well as enjoying the natural beauty of Point Reyes N. S.I love the basket of blankets, the coziness of the cabin and still have a bunch of room to spread out. The kitchen is open and beautiful. The stove/oven was great for cooking. We will be back if you will have us. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. -Ryan

Cozy and Luxurious
This was an ideal retreat for us and our dog. The home was cozy while also elegant because of the beautiful surroundings and lovely wood floors and beams, large fireplaces, and gorgeous views. The home felt secluded but was also located near wonderful places to eat, shop, and hike. We saw so much wildlife, listened to music while cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, and enjoyed reading in front of the fire. This is a perfect getaway for a family or couple. We were so sad to leave.

Pastoral, quaint West Marin !!
I was drawn by the location, architecture, spaciousness and interior design of this home and it did not disappoint! Ralph Lauren country vibe! The house was very comfortable and clean with big, beautiful beds & baths upstairs and picture windows throughout. The living spaces were charming and the garage was a game room of sorts! 👌 The area is just beautiful with plenty of hikes & beaches. Small town but the restaurants and markets they do have were great. Found a few Christmas gifts in town. All in all, just what the doctor ordered!

We really enjoy our stays at Fox Lodge for many reasons, including being a close drive from the East Bay yet removed from all the hustle and bustle, a quiet location close to beaches, trees, and wildlife, and a spacious, clean, and beautiful home. Laura is a caring host and quick to respond to any question we might have. A wonderful place to relax or hike, play games like ping pong and air hockey, and go to great restaurants nearby.

Outstanding, beautiful and with everything you could need
This property is the nicest place I’ve ever stayed in the Point Reyes area, simply luxurious! Very large and spacious, many areas/seating areas to chose from. The crown jewel is the master bedroom with a beautiful view. The kitchen is truly fully stocked for all the cooking that you would want to do! Stayed as a multi-generational family and everybody was comfortable. Easy check in and good communication.
