Re: A getaway for only one night
I know just the place! Laurel Ridge cottage in Inverness
(www.laurelridgecottages.com or email irwinsegal@yahoo.com or call 415 663
9584). Inverness, which is next to Point Reyes, is just over an hour's drive
from San Francisco (but feels quiet and remote). There's great hiking and
dining nearby. The cottage is up in the hills and has a private outdoor hot
tub. It's quiet and spacious and has the most cozy, comfortable flannel
sheets I've ever encountered. They will take one-night bookings on weekdays.
Hoping to stay at Laurel Ridge again soon
Re: Wedding night romantic getaway in the Bay Area (March 2005)
It's not quite in SF or the East Bay, but Mankass Inverness Inn
in Marin near Tomales Bay is nice. They have a few cabins
separate from the lodge that feel secluded. Dinner is good.
It's probably a little over an hours drive from the East Bay.

Try Manka's Lodge in Inverness. Like a cushy hunting lodge,
in a beautiful location, with a great restaurant....and very
small.
Re: One-night getaway on the Marin/Sonoma Coast (Oct 2003)
My husband and I recently rented a really lovely cottage in
Inverness. I found it on the internet under Pt. Reyes Inn and
Cottages. Call the number (or e-mail). I spoke with/e-mailed a
man named Tom, who may be the owner. Very nice man. I believe
there are 2 cottages and an Inn type of building right on
Tomales Bay. I think it was $185.00 per night which I thought
was reasonable compared to some other prices I'd encountered.
Our cottage was the first one off of the road and it was totally
private. Very cozy and comfortable with a deck facing the bay
and the bedroom and living room window also facing the bay.
We spent a Friday and Saturday night there. We went to dinner on
Friday night at Vladimir's restaurant (which was empty, and FAB,
but be hungry), and the next night we stopped at the store for
some already cooked chicken and had a lovely dinner at the
cottage.
For us it was a long overdue, much needed getaway that totally
rejeuvinated our marriage.
Have fun.

Re: Family getaway in a beautiful location
(Oct 2003)
Call Manka's Inverness Lodge and see if the Fishing Cabin is
available. It's my husband's and my favorite ''getaway''--VERY
pricey but just what you describe. Private cottage, fireplace,
hot tub on the deck, outdoor shower (kinda--private walls, open
to the sky--accessible from the bathroom or hot tub), big
bathtub and just an all-round generally cool place. The
restaurant is fabulous. Breakfast can be had in the room if
you like. No kitchen, but lots of other good places to eat
nearby. Can't beat the Point Reyes/Tomales Bay scenery and
lots of things to do from hiking to kayaking to horseback
riding to biking, even wine tasting for local champagne,
basically an ideal getaway in my opinion. The people at Mankas
are topnotch at recommending places to go, things to do, and
making arrangements so you can go and do them. The fishing
cabin has a big bed and a large comfy sofa so sleeps three.

Re: Family getaway in a beautiful location

Inverness Ridge in Inverness (west Marin) was great
http://www.invernessridge.com/index.html
It is actually a big house and three small bungalows - you can
rent one or all. We stayed in the big houes, Hemingway House.
It's a fabulous house in the trees with a great hot tub and deck,
gas bar-b-q, full kitchen, living room, dining room, master
bedroom and a small bedroom with a twin bed. There is a washer
and dryer too. They stock the house with breakfast foods
(muffins, fruit, coffee, juice, bacon, milk, bread, eggs, cereal
etc) Close to great hiking and beaches at the Point Reyes Nat's
Seashore, great restaurants nearby and only a short 1 hour drive
from the East bay - yet you feel like you are a thousand miles
from home. Good luck!

I very highly recommend Manka's out in Inverness. They
have fabulous cabins, some with outdoor hot-tubs and showers,
and some with clawfoot soaking tubs and fireplaces. Their
restaurant is amazing also. One caveat, they are quite pricey,
but I do believe it is worth it. Manka's is a real treat. It is
located right on Tomales Bay and there is so much to do
there.... hiking, exploring, kayaking.......
Have fun!
