I really love the Point Reyes area and have saw this lovely place before Very happy that I finally got to stay there during the Thanksgiving week this year We stayed in the Farmer’s Parlor

Things I loved about the stay are:- The place itself is very clean, has enough amenities like utensils, wood burning fire place, a sun room- The bed is very comfortable Even fancy hotels sometimes do not have a good bed I really appreciate this- The garden/ yard of the entire place is very lovely, well maintained- The view is great, you see horses, grass field and mountains- The location is pretty good, very close to hiking spots, Point Reyes Station, and there are some restaurants in Olema itself (like Due West)Things I did not like were:- Farmer’s Parlor faces north It is very cold in the morning even when outside is already warm If I knew this, I would not have rented this place- It is part of the main house, like Nest, which does not seem to be as private as the Cottages (Kelly said it is the most private one, I am not sure, I also have not stayed in any other cottages on the property)- It is basically a studio The sun room is not well insulated, so very cold Also it just has a table and 2 chairs, you cannot really sit comfortably there either We did not use it much We mostly were sitting in the king-sized bed when we are insideHaving said all of the above, I would definitely stay with them again next time, but probably a cottage with a bedroom and living area

We stayed in the Cypress Cottage The lawn area was filled with wonderful sculptures and antiques Every inch of the property was a delight to the eyes

The cottage itself had a display of wonderful figure paintings by Warren Faus, a Bay Area art teacher and painter (1919-2011) All of this and it was also a perfectly maintained and a lovely place to spend some relaxing days Kelly anticipated every need and comfort her quests could ask for I have also stayed at two of Kelly’s other cottages in Olema Each one is completely unique Be sure to visit!

I stayed at Sunflower Cottage with my husband, which I loved for so many reasons The décor was warm and inviting, the location was perfect (right beside a horse farm ) and the grounds were beautiful, with original artwork scattered throughoutSunflower was private behind its own fence, with a great yard where you can sit, hang out with the neighborhood cats, even grill and eat

It had plenty of room for an extended stay The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, spices, dishes and utensils, coffee, and all the supplies you could need There was a stove and oven, and a half-size refrigerator/freezer which was perfect for the cooking I didThe kitchen table can seat four, and there was a futon in the living area beside a wood burning stove that I slept on just to enjoy the fireThe cottages aren’t a “bed and breakfast” so no, you aren’t going to be served danish and coffee, but you shouldn’t expect that if you read the description of the premisesKelly and her staff were friendly and always available if we needed something My first night there, I arrived late, and it was hot so I texted to ask for a fan Within minutes one showed up on the porch Any time I needed anything from supplies to firewood to a recommendation for a restaurant, I got a reply within minutesKelly personalized everything to make us feel special She emailed us before our stay, had our names hand-written on a board outside our cottage on arrival, texted us to be sure we were happy, and followed up afterwards There were fresh flowers in the cottage, a fully stocked supply of firewood, and of course she was available for everything we needed during our stayAnother thing that was important to me was how easy it was to manage my stay Kelly made it easy, with clear instructions about how to get there, where to park, and how to enter the cottage She thought of everything, from a cart to transport luggage, to a shed where you could find ice, movies, music, and beach towelsI also fell in love with Point Reyes and the surrounding area One trip to the Station House Café and you’re not going to want to eat breakfast at home On weekends, the Farmer’s Market is amazing, with so much fresh produce, baked goods, cheese and other delicious things that you can easily fill your fridge for a weekYou’re an hour outside of San Francisco if you want a city experience, and an hour from wine country if you want incredible dining, winery tastings or shoppingYou’re walking distance to a deli and two restaurants If you’re motivated, you can walk into the town of Point Reyes And don’t miss the Heidrun Meadery outside townThe cottages don’t have washers/dryers but you can walk to a laundry facility on a campground nearby The facility was large, clean, and had free wifiThere wasn’t TV or cable service, but there were plenty of movies and a TV screen with a DVD player, and really good free wifi so you can stream Netflix or something else In fact, the wifi was a big deal for me because I needed to work, and I always found it to be reliable and fastLike the sign in the cottage says, “you’re in the country”, so if an occasional spider freaks you out, stay at a hotel If you leave a glass of wine out, or half a sliced orange, you’re going to have antsYes, I did that, and yes, I had ants But I sprayed the eco-friendly spray under the kitchen counter (another thing I love: dedication to eco-friendliness, with products, recycling and composting) and they were gone I learned my lesson (which the sign told me, but I ignored) and made sure to wash dishes and put food away after thatOtherwise, there were days I left the front door wide open so i could enjoy the fresh air and amazing smells of the garden, and barely a fly came inTo sum up, I am absolutely going back to Olema CottagesI want everyone to stay at the cottages and experience what I did, but in a way I hope nobody does because then it will be open for me whenever I want to go!
