Top Phoenix Lake Hotel Reviews

The Evergreen

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, free parking, front desk was very friendly, shower water pressure was AMAZING"

Simply marvelous 2 bedroom with kitchenette, grilling patio and grand balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely view - drinking coffee on the good sized balcony felt like I was up in a tree house amidst the greenery. In reality you are less than a mile walk down hill to the vibrant San Rafael Downtown. The host responded quickly when I had walking direction questions. The shower was a dream. The bed was very comfortable and I had lots of room to make myself at home. Street parking was easy during the day but a bit challenging coming home after evening outings. I would totally come back next time I’m seeing friends in Marin easy to navigate to from the freeway."

Marin Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay. It was clean and well taken care of."

Panama Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the peaceful Albert Park in San Rafael. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff are very kind. It is a great place to take the time to rest and relax on a long trip."

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!"

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!"

Charming Retreat: Fully Equipped 1-BR Guest Suite in San Rafael

10/10 Excellent

"Cute!"

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."

Dream home in Kentfield with amazing view

8/10 Good

"Beautiful view, spacious living areas, kitchen and restrooms had necessities, local cafes and restaurants nearby in Larkspur, great location"
