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.

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.

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.

Quaint Getaway
We were surrounded by redwoods. Teresa’s home made us feel very welcome. The bed was very comfy, but the pillows were a bit flat. We went to Muir Woods and this place was about 30 minutes away which made it convenient. Teresa was very responsive to our questions.

This is a quiet cottage only minutes by foot from downtown Fairfax. I walked every morning to the bakery. We were in town for our daughter's wedding and found the location and the cottage perfect for our needs. Super clean, charming, and Teresa is there to help with any special requests. She gave me a recommendation for a park to use for a pre-wedding party. It was perfect. Ten out of ten rating.

Sweet Little Cottage!
This cottage was so sweet! It was a perfect space for three senior sisters. The beds were comfy. The property was filled with mature redwoods, which were beautiful, and kept the cottage cool without AC. I highly recommend this property.

Family vacation summer 2024
We stayed at this property in July/Aug 2024 in order to attend our friends' wedding and to visit family in Marin. We used to live in San Anselmo, we had our daughter there and spent a lot of time in Fairfax years ago (we live in New Hampshire now) but we wanted to stay somewhere special and memorable. This cozy cottage was the perfect choice, close to everything we did during our vacation and felt like coming home again to our old neighborhood but even better. It was so peaceful, relaxing and beautiful and really helped us experience all of the charm that Fairfax and Marin in general, has to offer. Plus Teresa was the perfect host and Diane who was assisting, was so nice we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. I would highly recommend a stay here, you will love it and we are hoping to come back ourselves soon!

We were drawn to this property by the beautiful redwoods and wanting to enjoy the natural beauty of the area! Fairfax and this cozy home were both perfect! We were able to visit the City, hike the redwoods and sip wine in Sonoma! Our hosts were lovely and added to our enjoyment ! We will be back!

Cozy Retreat for a wedding
Fantastic, beautiful property to stay in nestled in the Red Woods! We were coming for a wedding at Deer Park Villa which was 5 minutes away and this Vrbo made the stay more magical! The host was super helpful and they thought of everything- even spices, coffee, and extra blankets. Our friends stayed on the pull out sofa and said it was very comfortable too! Fairfax is super convenient and a very cute town as well. We might come back just to stay here!

Into the Woods
The property is located close to the charming town of Fairfax and yet feels very secluded and surrounded by trees. Teresa was extremely prompt and responsive and checked in to make sure we were ok and had everything we needed. I particularly enjoyed waking up to 5 giant redwoods right outside the bedroom window!

Great getaway for a group of friends (or family)! :)
Teresa's cottage is amazing! I went for a weekend with 3 friends and we had such a nice time. The property is lovely, with tall redwoods and even its own babbling brook right next to the little deck - a perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and tea and meditation in the evening. It's also an easy walk to the super charming downtown area with cafes, restaurants and unique, quirky shops. I'm hoping to come back with my family (including 2 teenagers who would love the town) for another weekend. And Teresa is a delightful host - she was so kind and gracious when we accidentally locked ourselves out and had to call on her to help us get in. :) I can't recommend her place highly enough!!
