The
perfect vacation spot! You are welcomed with hugs and introduced to the
wonders of this wilderness farm reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands. As
the only guests, you enjoy the privacy of what was once the children's wing
of the Farmhouse.
Dan's en suite room boasts private entrance, wrap-around private decks with ocean and forest views. Dutch doors allow you to enjoy indoors and outdoors as you cuddle beneath fluffy down comforters, lulled to sleep by owl song drifting in from the velvet, star-studded night. Awaken to the
freshness of a country dawn. The farm comes alive as the pet barnyard
animals are fed and venture forth to enjoy their day.
To start your day, literally one step outside your door on your private deck, step into a romantic redwood enclosed, stained glass window enhanced, outdoor bath. Enjoy a hot shower (gigantic shower head) or deep bubble bath (antique claw foot tub). Two may bathe simultaneously. Don fluffy
robes to savor an early morning cup of coffee on your private deck,
enjoying the views and the songs of a myriad of birds who come to
feed at your porch feeder.
When the spirit moves, cook yourself a hearty country
breakfast, accompanied by Nana's scrumptious baked goodies and homemade jam.
Spend a few quiet moments lounging in the garden, enjoying
the serenity of the ponds and waterfalls breathing the crisp, clean country
air. Read awhile, write in your journal, or open the gate to directly access
the 75,000 acres of the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. For spectacular bird
watching and a chance meeting with elk or deer, hike Bayview trail to Muddy
Hollow and Limantour Beach. In the opposite direction, a quiet stroll on
forest and meadow trails will acquaint you with the early morning bush
bunnies. The trail joins others so that you may enjoy the breathtaking views
from Sky Camp and Mt. Wittenberg, where you often catch a glimpse of deer,
elk, fox, bobcat, possum, squirrels, raccoons, and chipmunks. Guests enjoy
photographing the flora and fauna that abound. All these pleasures await...
just outside your door!
Fairwinds Farm is located between the small quaint western
town of Point Reyes Station, and the charming villages of Inverness and
Olema. Spend afternoons browsing their many fascinating shops and galleries.
Or visit the Bear Valley Visitors' Center, Historic Pt. Reyes Lighthouse,
Morgan Horse Farm, Jack Mason Museum, stopping for lunch as you adventure. Pt. Reyes National Seashore is an enchanting land of
varied delights and topography. Explore long stretches of ocean beaches
some with heavy surf. Or, if you prefer there are many quiet coves and secluded
beaches along pristine Tomales Bay. Whale watching is at its peak from
December to April. The marshes of Tomales Bay are a birdwatcher's paradise
year round! In February and March thousands of elephant seals come to our
shores to give birth to their pups. In Spring, meadows of spectacular
wildflowers await the hiker and photographer. Come join us, and witness the
splendor!
An hour's day trip will take you to San Francisco,
Sausalito, Muir Woods, Bodega Bay and the Napa Valley wine country. Nearby
you may rent horses, kayaks, bikes, or play a round of golf at San Geronimo
Valley Golf Course.
When you return you return home in late afternoon, a
Tuscan-like light bathes both farm and forest. Pleasant to sit outdoors on
your private porch, enjoying an afternoon tea and Nana's homemade snacks, watching
the animals return for afternoon feedings. You will fall in love with the
true simplicity of country life.
A panoramic sunset colors the sky. You savor every last
bit of the day, as the sun, a molten ball of gold, slowly dips into the
distant sea. Thoughts turn to dinner.
The surrounding villages offer a plethora of unique
restaurants, with delightful ambiance and modest pricing. Or, if you prefer,
you may cook your own dinner and sit by your blazing fire, as the soothing,
pine-scented mist drifts in from the sea.
For your evening's pleasure, shelves of interesting books
and your choice of 500 movies await. Nana provides you with an array of
delicious evening treats!
Before you turn in, enjoy a soak in your private hot tub
beneath the stars, watching the light flash on the 'Farrallon Islands',
joined now and again by the wee lights of fishing boats out at sea.
When it's time for bed, draw back the curtains from your
floor to ceiling windows and lie abed, cozy in your down comforters, watching
the moon drift across the dark night sky.
We hope to restore your soul, and rekindle your love
affair with life. As one guest put it,
Dan's en suite Room with toilet, sink and shower, full
cooking facilities, microwave and fridge $130 for two, $25 each additional
person plus 10% Marin County room tax.
