I love visiting Stinson Beach and Bolinas with my girlfriend, and the Redwoods Haus is my favorite place to stay. At least for our trips it has not been loud at night as we have experienced in Bolinas, which is fun if you expect it. They offer recommendations for outings and local attractions. We've enjoyed Point Reyes (all of it), hiking nearby trails & on the beach, surfing Bolinas, biking Ridgecrest Rd. and adjacent trails. Patrons from farther away than ourselves tend to visit Muir Woods... there are many great attractions in the area, some seasonal. We like to barbecue in the state park, and there is also a grill on site. You can find maps, brochures & get firsthand information at the Redwoods Haus.

My girlfriend and I stayed there one night last month on a whim and were utterly surprised and totally charmed by the place. I'm only writing this review because I really love the place and I noticed some unfairly harsh reviews to which I would like to offer a completely opposite perspective.
The place is indeed jumbled like a thrift store and there are some musty odors, but I didn't find these characteristics at all compromised the comfort and charm of the place. I like the fact that it didn't smell like Mr. Clean's shiny bald head.
Our bed was comfortable and clean.
If you're obsessed with staying in a completely sterile environment, I would bet you'd be uncomfortable here, but then again you probably wouldn't go camping either. That said, I found the place to be satisfactorily clean.
Bottom line: the place is wonderful unless you are scared of old wood, old carpets and cats.
We're definitely going back.

Don't stay here if you're looking for a sleek, polished, fancy place. This little gem is all about unique character. A brass unicorn door fixture, a guitar in the shared living room, tons of (yes, they still exsist) VHS videos galore, and packed full of funky soulful knick-knacks that give off a glow of a thrift/antique store vibe. If you can, stay in room 4, on the top floor. You get your own private balcony and a little view of the ocean, surrounded by those warm stinson beach hills. You can walk across the street to restaurants and the beach. The owners are awesome. Down to earth and as funky as the place. If you can handle not being being treated with that fake corporate politeness and interact with real humans, you'll dig this place. I've stayed there twice. This recent visit, I arrived late, and the owner sleepily grumbled, "just pay in the morning." I loved it! There's a hostel, shared feel to the place, with shared bathrooms, but the rooms feel private - very quiet, I never heard anyone else up at night. Lots and lots of blankets. My rooms were always totally clean and neat, with everything I needed and more. Thoughtful touches were everywhere. I don't know where they got that sourdough toast with chocolate chips that I scarfed down in the morning, but I hope it keeps on comin'. For such an affordable place, it's surprisingly rich. Say hi to the kitty cat roaming around outside, kick off your shoes, and relax - "Haus" style!

I had a great time staying at the Redwoods Haus. The owners are very warm and friendly. The room was clean and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast was great and the other family that was staying there loved staying as well. Lots of free movies to watch and board games for the kids. They had free long distance calling and free high speed internet access. The kids loved that they let us use the wet suits and boogie boards at no extra charge I loved the personal attention. The beach is so beautiful and you can hear the waves at night from your room. Our room the top room is called the crows nest you can see the beach from the cute balcony. 3 Great
