Area Attractions

History is everywhere around you in the San Francisco Bay Area. The city with many cultures, including, Native American and Chinese through the Gold Rush to today's High Tech Revolution. It is all here!

Nature is all around you as well.
The Redwoods of Muir Woods, the seascapes of Point Reyes National Sea Shore, the abundance of the California Wine Country, the beautiful gardens of Luther Burbank, and the grandeur of the greatest natural harbor on the entire West Coast of the Americas with the spectacular Golden Gate bridge spanning the entrance.

Our inn is located on the edge of an important Marin bird refuge. The area is a popular resting place for migratory birds travelling the great coastal flyway. Marshy terrain is an ideal feeding ground for a variety of different species. A paradise for birds and birders alike.
