It’s hard to think of many things that would surpass a nice weekend in Marin and treating yourself to some R&R, a time to forget all your troubles and sing Don’t Worry Be Happy. Yoga lovers and pretty much all of us look forward to shavasana especially after a few hours of invigorating inspiration in the outdoors, and a rejuvenating connection with Mother Nature.
If you are geared up for the majesty of Mt. Tam, a night at the Mountain Home Inn will awe you with its jaw dropping views overlooking Mill Valley and beyond. This Bed & Breakfast is a slice of the Swiss Alps! Take advantage of their great special offers — including romance extras like champagne and in-room massages. Just below the inn lies Muir Woods (reservations required), while a scenic drive over the mountain and through the woods leads to Stinson Beach for a leisurely stroll. You have your choice of unbeatable beaches in Marin County.
For a quick overlook, drive to the top of Mt. Tam and walk the Verna Dunshee Trail around the peak (.08 mile) with impressive 360 views of the Bay Area.
Marin boasts a variety of lodging options, many featuring wellness programs and special offers. Decide on your favorite areas of the county and look at what they offer before making a reservation.
West Marin offers top-notch accommodations with amenities to elevate your stay. The Lodge at Marconi has an on-site sauna (complimentary) and morning yoga classes with panoramic views on Tower Hill. Nick’s Cove on Tomales Bay is a local favorite – epitomizing rustic luxury. Enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, book a cheese and farm tour, do some fishing and end the day with an in-room massage. Ahhhhhhhh.
If you’re the road warrior type, work your way out to the coast and the Pt. Reyes National Seashore for some fun. But before you arrive book a guided trail ride at
Five Brooks Ranch and marvel at the awesome natural beauty from horseback. For even more wow factor, visit the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse — one of the best places along the California Coast to view the California Gray Whales on their annual migration from Alaska to Mexico.
