Top Phoenix Lake Hotel Reviews

Villa Inn

8/10 Good

"Very clean rooms, showers were a little small as was the bathroom. Staff provided clean towels each day which we really appreciated."

Marin Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff. Very clean room"

Relax in Fairfax quiet cottage in the redwoods.

10/10 Excellent

"It was such a beautiful and relaxing place. Super peaceful setting and very comfortable beds. Teresa was very responsive and gave great local recommendations."

Centrally located Craftsman home

10/10 Excellent

"This home was great, top to bottom. Everything worked which is amazing in a VRBO. It was one of the most incredible rentals we have ever had. Our host Jeff was very friendly and easy to work with This house is walking distance from both Fairfax and San Anselmo. We used the hot tub, the gas grill and the patio which was nice. The house accommodates up to 6 people and a dog very easily. We spent a month there and it really felt like home after a few days. I give this VRBO a 5 star rating and we would definitely stay there again."

Treehouse studio, secluded & chic hiker’s paradise

10/10 Excellent

"The best in all ways of beauty -"

Gorgeous 2Bd + Loft with Deck and Gardens. Soaring 20 ft ceilings, huge windows!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at this house, and it was just as wonderful as the first time. We plan to be back. The location is perfect, the house is bright and beautiful, the big lawn area in front is perfect if you have a small/medium dog. And the host is very responsive."

Charming Kentfield Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This home is magazine level gorgeous. We stayed during the summer and the outside patio and grassy area were wonderful for barbequing. The open concept kitchen, dining and family room area is large and bright and airy. The master bedroom is like a suite at the Ritz Carlton. The other three rooms at the back of the house felt a bit cut-off but were well appointed. The bunk bed was too small for our 6 foot tall teenager and the host graciously offered to deliver another bed and helped us work it out. The tv doesn't have basic cable, everything is streamed from an app on your device so it was difficult to watch the local news or sports. We had to download a Fox app for 20.99/month to watch the FIFA games. The driveway is steep and there is very little room to turn around so we ended up backing up the driveway. There is no AC so the hot days were uncomfortable although the house stayed somewhat cool with the doors closed. There was a lot of wildlife - the first night we were sitting outside by the firepit and an owl swooped down and landed on the roof practically right above our head. Another night a few coyotes were howling so loudly it startled us and then we saw one walk by the window. Lots of birds, squirrels, and racoons. The redwood trees around the property are gorgeous and when the wind blew through them, it was magical, as if we were in Tahoe. It's hard to believe this relaxing gem is sitting above bustling Marin. Wonderful hosts and a wonderful stay!"

Lovely, Large 1 Br Apt in Sunny Central Marin! On 2 Acres of Gardens & Woodlands

10/10 Excellent

"This property is centrally located and beautifully equipped, and the host is the best."

Hilldale Studio - in the heart of Marin County

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely place with a very quirky parking spot. Once you figure out the parking it was terrific and felt like sleeping in a treehouse. We really enjoyed using the bicycles and the sauna, although both probably need a wee bit of attention as the bike handlebars could use new grip and the sauna water needed refreshing. Still this was a really great value."
