The home is secluded on an 12-acre site, off a gated private road, surrounded by 120 acres of ranch land. This very special designed single story home is set among oak, bay trees, and an all year stream that flows to the valley reservoir. A few steps from the house stands a spring fed pond partially surrounded by redwood trees. A deck and a shaded picnic table are at one end of this tranquil pond. Adjacent to the house is a lovely vegetable and flower garden that guests may use to enhance their meals or just to enjoy its sights and sounds. This is the Backdrop for your stay at the Garden House. This house is designed for a great “Stay at Home” experience. It is a Space and a Place for a family gathering, a retreat or a group of several friends who simply want to stay home, relax and enjoy the company of one another. Many guests simply want to enjoy the serenity and privacy of the Garden House without having to venture out. However, the town of Point Reyes Station and the National Seashore are both a short drive away. The small three block long town has great restaurants and unique shops. And of course, The National Seashore offers whale watching, breathtaking beaches, miles of hiking trails and kayaking on Tomales Bay. The Seashore is truly one of the most unique places on earth. The home site consists of two buildings separated by a terraced courtyard. The main Garden House has a large central living space we call “The Great Room” as well as two bedrooms and two baths. The adjacent smaller space we call ”The Cheese House”, provides additional sleeping capacity. Up to 6 guests can be accommodated in the main house and 3 or 4 guests can be accommodated in this smaller unique dwelling. Thus, the whole space can accommodate 9 to10 guests. The modern, architect designed, main house features a distinctly furnished “Great Room” with 1,000 square feet of living space for guests that love to share food preparation and the whole cooking and eating experience. Central to this room is a custom built Ash wood table that comfortably seats up to 12 guests. The cooking and food preparation area occupies a commanding portion of the common space and is extremely well equipped. The kitchen features a commercial Wolf stove, Sub Zero refrigerator, dishwasher, custom stainless steel counters and an extensive pantry with an array of tabletop appliances. All the necessary cookware, tableware and flatware one could imagine are provided. Frankly, this is a "Foodie" paradise. There is a TV/Media Center with a sofa and twin Eames lounge chairs for relaxed conversation or entertainment after dinner. Soft gallery lighting focuses on artwork around the room depicting the landscapes and ranches of the Nicasio Valley. And of course, after dinner someone is likely to play the piano! The Master Bedroom Suite is large and very private with a king size bed. A stunning window wall with a Bay Tree view, dominates the space. The room has a TV/ Media Center and a small sofa that converts into a full bed for use in this room if needed. The adjoining large, private, well-appointed master bath with euro-style fixtures and large glass enclosed shower completes the master suite. The second bedroom located at the opposite end of the main living space has a queen bed. This room also has an integrated office /work space for the person that just cannot get away from "Work". It has an individual entrance off the south facing entry courtyard. The second bathroom, with a glass enclosed shower is adjacent to this bedroom. This bathroom is accessible by guests from the rest of the house. Additionally, there is a sleep sofa in the living area that can accommodate two people. The “Cheese House” is named only for its “wedge shape.” But speaking of Cheese, the surrounding ranch country has many renowned cheese tasting opportunities. This separate cozy house provides the added accommodations and is just a few steps away from the main house via an illuminated courtyard. The main floor has a queen bed, full bathroom with shower and a TV. It even has another coffee bar with a small refrigerator for those who want to be on a different schedule than the rest of the guests. The upstairs loft has a full size bed, though not totally private from the downstairs space; it is very unique and comfortable for two. The gated entry courtyard provides a large private outdoor space for guests to gather on the sunny side of the house. A shade canopy covers a seating area particularly comfortable for morning coffee and evening gatherings. There is a deck and terraced garden on the shade side of the house with a Gas BBQ, table and benches. Be sure to view all the photographs with descriptive captions as they provide a real sense of the Garden House and all it has to offer. Included in the photo gallery is a floor plan of the Garden House and its surroundings, which provide a clearer understanding of the unique spaces and their relationship to each other.If your needs require accommodations for more guests than the Garden House can provide or you would like to have two separate homes on the same property within easy walking distance to one another, please look at “The Tree House” also on VRBO. It is a two Bedroom two Bath house that can accommodate up to 6 guests. It can be found on VRBO by searching for listing ID #827297. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site -

The adult 20 something’s stayed in the cheese house and my husband and I along with my 90 year old mother enjoyed the spacious rooms in the main house. We enjoyed cooking and bbqing in a very well stocked kitchen with all the high end appliances. The houses were situated among beautiful grounds—flower garden, pond w/Lilly pads and a porch to do yoga. We drove easily to the wedding in Rancho Nicasio and hikes along Tomales Bay and the Pacific Ocean. ##### Rose K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay M.

We gathered in the patio, dined by the pond. Access to store was easiee than expected. This was one of our best vacations, in part because of the beauty and care taken.

A beautiful kitchen and great room to cook and hang out. All of the beds are comfortable and there are multiple futons which is nice. The house and bathrooms were all clean. There is a little pond near the house which isn't swimmable, but it's nice to sit by. If you feel like stretching your legs, you can walk down the road a bit. 10-minute drive to Point Reyes Station. Note: The owner lives on the property but doesn't feel intrusive as the house is not within earshot, but if you're looking for total privacy, you should be aware of that. He was very kind and helpful every time we interacted with him. Would definitely recommend! ##### Peter K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maya D.

The house was great - very well-appointed kitchen, bright and airy main living area. The property was great too - tucked into a hillside with lots of trees, far from any road noise, a great escape from city life but still only an hour from SF. Only 10 minutes from Point Reyes, which has a solid grocery store, and close to Point Reyes and Samuel P Taylor State Park. We’re very glad we chose to stay here. ##### Tucker P.

Reyes Station. The place was clean and well-equipped, a modern converted shed, with a large common area, 2 bedrooms and baths, and a separate "cheese house" that offered an additional bedroom and bathroom. We had a wonderful stay! ##### Nicole B.

It's rare that modern industrial architecture can convey warmth and comfort. This unique property, nestled in the verdant hills of Nicasio, is at once intriguing and inviting. There has been a great attention to detail that holds up even under close inspection. The home and grounds are impeccably maintained. It is clear that the hosts are dedicated to providing a setting that will leave a most memorable impression. I recommend this property without reservation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Glorious Garden House Our weekend at the Garden House will be unforgettable for its serene location, the resplendent great room where our family gathered for conversation, meals, laugher, games, music and dancing, the sublime quiet from our city climes, and the delightful and gracious hosts who made our stay so lovely. Thank you, Roger! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francois B.

Not only is located in one of California's most stunning locations, but the house itself is positively stunning. You will never want to leave! ##### Elizabeth L.
