Large

A-frame house surrounded by open space-100 feet to miles and miles of trails in protected land. Two bed, two bath house on dead-end street. French doors open onto deck with fire pit and propane heater. 30 to 45 min. drive to San Francisco. Great road and mountain biking right out the door.

Our professionally decorated home has a renovated kitchen with commercial grade appliances, including a six burner Dacor gas cooktop. The decor can be described as Pottery Barn meets West Elm, with a few colorful Oriental rugs as accents. We recently added eleven skylights, so there's lots of natural light. We also recently added a 600 square foot patio with a fire pit under the oak trees, just outside French doors from the living room. Most of the living space is in the great room area, and the bedrooms are pleasant but somewhat small. Overall, the place is very clean and uncluttered. The downstairs bathroom was recently renovated and features a deep soaking tub. The upstairs bathroom has a shower. There are bunkbeds in the children's room downstairs, and toys and bikes for guests. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a new, California King size bed. In the great room, there is an air conditioner which is hardly ever necessary, but available in case you wish to use it. We have a good movie collection, and two large flat screen televisions, with a movie sound system in the family room, along with a long L-shaped couch. We also have On-Demand and Netflix subscriptions. We enjoy entertaining here, as the great room and patio all flow together, making a cheerful and attractive party space where everyone can be near each other, but with enough space to relax. It is a great place to be, but not too delicate that you have to worry much if you bring your children or small dog.

Downtown Fairfax is a mile and a half away - with many restaurants and shops, and live music every night of the week in multiple venues.

  • We had a great time at Scott's house. He was very nice and spontaneous after booking just one day before. They even left us a welcome note with a bottle of wine. The house almost seemed like a tree house, with high ceilings, lots of light and surrounded by trees. Waking up in the morning we would only hear the birds sing - so peaceful - a great get-away from the city. The weather was amazing and we had an great time hanging out on the sunny patio, bbq-ing and hiking. There is trail that starts just at the end of the road and leads up to a beautiful waterfall! Highly recommended for anyone!

  • Great home, great location, tucked away in a beautiful setting. Scott was easy to communicate with and had helpful suggestions about things to do nearby. Highly recommended.

  • My wife and I had a wonderful stay in this very cool A-frame atop one of the coolest towns in America. There's a great deck on the front of the house perfect for having some wine after a long day's hike! We definitely recommend it!

  • The Schneiders were very gracious in their accommodations. They welcomed me into their home and to Fairfax and the surrounding community, and gave me several ideas regarding activities.
