This is a modern but charming cottage on the grounds of an organic apple farm. You wake up to a wonderful breakfast delivered to your door (menu varies, but this is a real breakfast). Nearby are stunning beaches and amazing hiking trails. I highly recommend this place.

The cottage is located in a beautiful area, make sure to check out Dillon Beach. Breakfast was wonderful and the hosts could not be more accommodating.
5 out of 5Best Place to Stay in West Marin
January 16, 2013
It is rare to find a place so well done, so pleasant to be in, and so comfortable. Everything at Apple Garden Farm, from the linens to the appliances, are top quality and attractive. I rent quite a few vacation rentals and stay in B&B's around the West coast, in Hawaii, and in Europe and I appreciate an inn keeper who is competent, friendly, generous, and provides a well kept place. For me all that enhances the comfort. And those lucky enough to enjoy Jan's cooking are in for a special treat. I have rented about a half dozen places in the area, and have lived there, so I know it well - and West Marin can be quite "funky" and not well maintained. So I was especially happy to find this excellent cottage. I loved the quiet and the views of the grasslands, orchard and farm. The location is ideal for recreation around Tomales Bay and Point Reyes or north to the wine country. It exceeded my hopes and I would give it the highest recommendation.

My husband and I recently spent two lovely days at AppleGarden Cottage, 50 miles north of San Francisco. After a long international flight it was a joy to settle in at the cottage and enjoy the privacy (as the only guests, this is assured) and peaceful surroundings. Located in the middle of picturesque farm country just outside the historic town of Tomales, the cottage is on the grounds of an organic apple orchard. (Dillon Beach and beautiful Tomales Bay are both just a 10-minute drive away, and you can be at Point Reyes Station – gateway to the Point Reyes National Seashore – in about 30 minutes). AppleGarden Cottage is almost new, stylishly decorated - nothing froufrou here – and very comfortable. It features a living room with fireplace and a top of the range kitchen with dining area. The bedroom has an excellent king-size bed dressed with luxury linens. There is internet radio, satellite TV, and free Wi-Fi. The gourmet breakfasts - left discretely on the cottage doorstep each morning – were outstanding! Jan creates all her menus from organic or sustainably raised produce, and the eggs come from her friendly farm chickens. (She is happy to accommodate special dietary needs, including vegetarian, non-gluten, low-fat, and kosher certified ingredients). The kitchen was stocked with complimentary organic yogurt and milk, homemade cookies (divine), coffee and a wide selection of teas. We enjoyed visiting the wonderful Point Reyes Station Farmers’ Market on the Saturday morning, and opted to cook ‘at home’ that evening, finding everything we needed in the cottage’s fully equipped kitchen, right down to oils, condiments etc. Jan is a true professional and a warm, friendly host. She was very helpful during the planning stage of our visit and made sure we wanted for nothing once we arrived. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved our night at the AppleGarden Cottage. Jan could not have been more hospitable while still letting us have full privacy. She was helpful before we arrived and made us feel more than welcome once we got there. Breakfast was DELICIOUS and we had everything we needed to feel right at home, with some extra luxuries and pampering. We will definitely be back!

Spent four delightful evenings and mornings at AppleGarden. What a lovely respite!! Hiked and toured all day and got to return in the evenings to a relaxing, beautiful place that was perfect for our needs. The breakfasts were delicious too ... Definitely a go to place!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights. The cottage was outstanding and incredibly relaxing. The bed was amazing--the most comfortable sheets ever, the cider was just what we needed at the end of the day, and the breakfasts were incredible! It was the perfect location to stay while we explored the coast. There were great dining options close by, but it was nice having the option to cook at the cottage. Jan was the perfect innkeeper and it was a pleasure getting to know her and her husband, Lou. We enjoyed touring the orchard and seeing the chickens, hummingbirds, and even wild turkeys! We loved our experience so much we had to come back and end our trip at AppleGarden Cottage! We will be recommending AppleGarden Cottage to everyone--its an incredible experience and deal, and we are planning to visit again soon---hopefully during crab season :)
