Romantic Lodge in Point Reyes-Inverness: Picturesque Retreat

Fox Lodge is perfect for those wanting a quintessential West Marin experience in their own private lodge. Situated on the Inverness Ridge overlooking the Olema Valley. A home away from home, nestled beside 71,000 acres of protected paradise. Relish Point Reyes antique charm, with the most modern amenities. Many repeat guests so check availability. Special events made memorable.

Perfect for people who love game night, the outdoors and explorations. Ideal for the romantic couple that wants the luxury of an exclusive inn, but the size and privacy of a large home. Perfect for people who want to steal away, put their feet up and relax. Welcome to Fox Lodge.

The LIVING ROOM rises up over two stories with vaulted cathedral ceilings of massive hand-picked fir beams and antique brass fittings. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace includes a cavernous hearth for roaring wood fires and rustic mantel filled with antiques. Two deep leather chairs look out over the wall of windows to Olema Valley, one of the most abundant bird-watching locales on the coast.

Stroll past the front FOYER with twig love-seat for two and antique bridge lamps into the expansive FAMILY ROOM. Another floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace caps the room, alongside a 55' HDTV complete with Internet streaming options. The large sectional couch surrounds a Ralph Lauren table and antique board games. A door leads to the two-car GARAGE filled with ping pong table, air hockey, games and toys.

THE KITCHEN is open, true California style, with a wrap-around sunny breakfast nook loaded with pillows and cushions to seat ten for coffee and snacks. Custom lighting illuminates the open area beside an antique dry sink cupboard filled with basic cooking supplies and condiments. The kitchen has a long concrete countertop and the latest in appliances: a six-burner gas Wolf Range and oven with hood, a Jenn Air refrigerator with icemaker and filtered water, Thermador dishwasher, antique farmhouse sink, Water Works fixtures. Coffee maker and grinder, holiday and feasting pots and pans included. Rustic and fine dining utensils, plates and serving bowls make any cooking event a breeze. A small POWDER ROOM is tucked off the kitchen.

The DINING ROOM is a step away with a Spanish Baroque table that seats eight. An antique library cabinet filled with festive china and antiques sits in the corner and antique waterfowl prints adorn the tongue-in-groove wood panels in deep hunter green.

Follow the carpeted stairs past the wildlife and nature prints to the PRIMARY BEDROOM, the showcase room of Fox Lodge. Featuring beautiful wooden floors, thick Woolen plaid Roman shades stretch across three massive windows that look out across the Olema Valley and east to Sonoma. Beautiful furnishings create cozy elegance for resting, reading and remembering. The huge WALK-IN CLOSET includes a portable massage table and dressing cabinets.

The PRIMARY BATHROOM is floored in blue slate, with a massive open stone shower. A 19th century French claw foot bathtub is tucked between two windows that look over pines and firs. Antique cabinets and sink with Water Works fixtures and a lighthouse print by a local Point Reyes artist.

Continue up to the top floor, past the large Hawk print. A BEDROOM with a Queen Bed awaits. Another BATHROOM with double trench sink, tub and shower, also floored in blue slate, lies around the corner. A LAUNDRY ROOM with washer, dryer, ironing board and cleaning supplies is at the end of the long hallway.

Down the opposite end of the hall are two more bedrooms. A THIRD BEDROOM includes a twin-over-full bunk bed, desk, rocking chair and antique games. A FOURTH BEDROOM includes a twin-over-full bunk bed, TV, a closet chocked full of stuffed animals, books, toys and games. These rooms are perfect for guests with children, or nostalgic adults.

We are seniors and still quite mobile,but folks staying here need to know there are alot of stairs.front porch deck is very wet/slippery in the morning. Kitchen well-equipped,although never could find cutting board/s,never could figure out oven(directions would be nice,esp.if it's convection) Good location,close to good hiking

Pastoral, quaint West Marin !!
I was drawn by the location, architecture, spaciousness and interior design of this home and it did not disappoint! Ralph Lauren country vibe! The house was very comfortable and clean with big, beautiful beds & baths upstairs and picture windows throughout. The living spaces were charming and the garage was a game room of sorts! 👌 The area is just beautiful with plenty of hikes & beaches. Small town but the restaurants and markets they do have were great. Found a few Christmas gifts in town. All in all, just what the doctor ordered!
