M12859 is a little piece of England in West Marin. With furniture and treasures from the inkeeper’s homeland, M12859 is reminiscent of a stay in an English manor house.

Just a walk to two superb restaurants in Olema, or the Point Reyes National Seashore Visitors Center, it is ideally situated for exploring the coast and mountains, dining or relaxing.

Explore the forests of Inverness Ridge. Stroll along secluded beaches. Scout for whales at the lighthouse and snack on oysters pulled fresh from Tomales Bay.

Then make your way back to M12859 for a cup of tea by the fireplace or in the beautiful gardens. In the morning a delicious breakfast will prepare you for another day’s adventures.

If M12859’s butler were to describe this manor house he would describe the rooms in this way...

"It has been my privilege to work for the Lord and Lady of M12859 for many years. His Lordship is fond of country pursuits and the FOXGLOVE ROOM reflects this. He takes afternoon tea on the west facing balcony overlooking the Olema Valley. It has a queen bed and bathroom with shower."

The Lavender Room "Her Ladyship heralds from Wales and the LAVENDER ROOM has touches of lace from her homeland. This sunny queen-bedded south and west facing room has a large private bathroom with a tub to befit a lady."

"She likes to sketch and can do this from the PRIMROSE ROOM’S private deck. Decorated in a floral theme, it draws inspiration from the magnificent garden. It has a king bed and bathroom with shower."

"Being great travellers, the house holds many objects from the Lord and Lady’s adventures. The SNAPDRAGON ROOM, facing east, is fitting as it has many treasures from the Orient. It has a queen bed and bathroom with a shower."

"The HOLLYHOCK ROOM has antiques from travels to the New World. Appropriately looking west, it has views across the Olema Valley. Guests have a queen bed and a private bathroom with tub and shower."

"The CORNFLOWER ROOM with its cheerful blue and white, has pottery from Europe. The cosy bathroom with shower is also of European design. This queen-bedded room faces west for guests to watch the sunset."

"The BRAMBLE SUITE, is our newest addition. Adjoining the main house, this bedroom suite is fully furnished with dining facilities and en-suite bath. Open-plan in style it takes advantage of great natural lighting to evoke a feeling of calm relaxation."

The Garden

"It has been my pleasure to serve breakfast in the PARLOUR but many guests like to take a tray into the GARDEN."

M12859 Interior

"The DRAWING ROOM, with its touches of tartan, reflects his Lordship’s home in Scotland. The large open fire is a perfect place to sit by as the evening draws to a close."

Periwinkle Cottage

"The one bedroom cottage in the grounds of M12859 has a fully equipped kitchen and private bath with shower. In the living room a trundle bed can sleep 2 additional guests. If the views of the Olema Valley are not enough there is a TV and VCR. For cosy evenings there is a fireplace and for sunny days a private garden."

"I hope you, like those I have the pleasure of serving, will enjoy your stay at M12859."
