Jr kitchen, we have a toaster oven, microwave, coffee, and tea, so it's good for a little snack or breakfast.
We're located just 10 min walk to downtown Fairfax where there's lots of good food, bars with live music, yoga, and possibly the best ice cream shop ever.
The bus stop is located right downtown so it's easy to catch a bus to the city, or a shuttle to the beach.
You'll also be located a 10 min walk from loads of hiking and mountain biking trails in Deer Park. If you're feeling energetic you can hike up to one of the five lakes nearby, or just drive 20 min up the hill.

Guest access

You'll have access to the whole front cottage, with your own private entrance w/o passing through. We live in the back of the house through the back gate. We have a dog that roams around in the yard so we ask that you not open the back gate.
We have one parking spot. There is plenty of free parking down the street.

Interaction with guests

If you're independent, that's cool. If you would like recommendations about what to do in the area, where to eat, etc. we're happy to chat. We're usually home and or available on our cell phones.
