Bay View "Tree House"

This is a beautiful, 20-sided shingled cottage set on 2 acres of oak trees, with views of the San Francisco Bay through the trees. The property is gated with off-street parking. This unique guest house offers one bedroom with a queen bed, and a full size sofa bed in the living room. Windows in every room look out into the oaks, where you can see deer, squirrels, hummingbirds, and occasional rabbits. For its location, it feels incredibly private!

The cottage is just 2 miles from charming downtown San Rafael, and just 1 mile to mountain biking, hiking, and picnicking at China Camp State Park. San Rafael is the perfect location for day trips to San Francisco, Mt. Tamalpais, and all of Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties.

The cottage was built with the finest materials, including slate roof with copper gutters, bamboo and slate floors, granite counter tops, tumbled marble shower, and maple cabinets. A deck with glass railing encircles the entire house. There is a full kitchen, wireless high speed Internet, and cable. The only other other structure on the property is our main home. The hot tub, which hipcampers are welcome to use upon request, is on the deck of the main house.

This is the spot with the partial ocean view!

Ocean Cliffside Cottage Driveway

Hi!  I'm John, with a fantastic driveway spot that's literally right across the street from the cliff overlooking the ocean in Moss Beach.   Hear the ocean roar at night, dark, quiet neighborhood.   Also 1 block away from the Fitzgerald Nature Preserve, where you'll see seals on the beach under the 100' cliff overlooking the ocean.  At the other end of the park is a fantastic historic restaurant/bar (Moss Beach Distillery).  Walk/bike to miles of cliff-side trails overlooking ocean.  Boating/surfing within 10 minutes.

15 minutes to Half Moon Bay or Pacifica.  20 minutes to Purissima redwood forrest.  Perfect getaway!

The spot has water, electric;  WIFI:  Surfcottage;  Password:  Daniel25

A few minor restrictions:   I'm in a residential neighborhood and to keep the neighbors from ragging I can't host a typical "campground scene".  So we have to avoid cookouts, guitar jams all night, etc.  Sorry!    Only self-contained vans up to 23'.

Campfires

Hiking from the campground back down to the barn.  Beautiful views down the canyon at the campsite.
