My husband and I were actually planning to find a hotel in San Francisco but really felt like staying outside the city would be more relaxing. The Gerstle couldn't have been more perfect! We arrived early evening, helped ourselves to a glass of wine and sank into the living room sofa. It was as if we were guests in a... More

This was my second stay at the Gerstle Park Inn. The Inn is the most appealing B & B I have stayed in. The rooms are warm and inviting, the garden areas are colorful and relaxing and make for a wonderful view from many rooms. The host staff are helpful and readily respond to questions regarding venues in the area.... More

As a single girl traveling alone...Gerstle Park is my go-to place in Marin. Just wish I could get there more often. Elegantly decorated, comfy antique decorated rooms with all the modern amenities, amazing zen-like grounds and delicious breakfasts made lovingly by the innkeeper himself. Help yourself to wine at happy hour in front of the fireplace and fresh baked choc.... More

The Gerstle Park Inn provide pictures on their website which accurately reflect the Inn. But it must be said, the Inn is even prettier than the photos which while doing justice to the Inn, still miss the peacefully elegant ambiance and special mood that can only be absorbed upon arrival. This is the kind of destination that becomes tradition. A... More

Lovely! Nice roomy quiet rooms furnished in a eclectic mix of antiques and Oriental art. The public rooms and garden exceed (if it were possible) the rooms. Excellent prepared breakfast. We only wish we'd been able to stay longer and just relax in the sumptuous atmosphere.

Located a short drive from Hwy 101, the residential neighborhood is extremely quiet. Felt like we were miles into the countryside. The parking is abundant, the grounds are lovely. Jim and Judy are wonderful Innkeepers. The breakfasts are worth the visit alone. A daily menu offering a variety of individually prepared hot selections prepared by Jim. Not to miss! Lots... More

My husband and I travelled down here from up north and heard about this place from one of our colleagues and also the good reviews helped, but once arriving the staff at this place is welcoming and very accomodating. The fireplace was nice and the rooms were great. It was a nice getaway that felt like we were just at... More

Very memorable stay! The breakfast was 5star. The room was elegant and cozy. The entire grounds was immaculate with an extra ordinary attention to detail. This is a must to experience!!!

Can I give the Gerstle Park Inn more than 5 stars? They deserve it--and more! Having lived (and traveled) all over the US and abroad, I cannot remember a place that I have enjoyed as much. Owners Jim and Judy and manager Judy are all amazing and made my 2+ month stay in one of the 'cottages' an amazing experience.... More
