Top Phoenix Lake Hotel Reviews

The Evergreen

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room. Lots of parking and excellent price in Marin. Quick drive to ferry terminal at Larkspur over to San Francisco. 22 minute drive to Muir redwoods state park. Would definitely stay here again."

AC Hotel San Rafael Downtown

8/10 Good

"The property is very accommodating. The rooftop bar offers beautiful views, great drinks, and good food. Our hotel room was a bit noisy. Felt like the people above us were having a dance party. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant place to stay."

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."

Relax in Fairfax quiet cottage in the redwoods.

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely cottage! The bed was so comfortable… we slept so well! Loved seeing the deer graze in the woods through the lovely skylights in the living room. Great host!"

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."

Hip and chic one bedroom apartment.

10/10 Excellent

"We found the property exactly as it was advertised. Mark communicated well and responded to any inquiries promptly."
