About This Home
Hidden beneath a canopy of towering trees in the enchanting village of Inverness, the historic cabins of Manka’s Inverness Lodge offer a rare opportunity to own a piece of West Marin’s celebrated hospitality heritage.
A collection of intimate woodland accommodations, the property captures the spirit of a bygone era, when visitors escaped to the quiet beauty of Point Reyes and Tomales Bay in search of nature, exceptional hospitality, and a slower pace of life.
Rich with architectural character, the cabins feature extraordinary stone fireplaces, handcrafted wood interiors, exposed beams, rustic detailing, and thoughtfully designed spaces that blur the distinction between indoors and out.
The signature cabin offers a generous sleeping area anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace, built-in seating, a private deck nestled among lush greenery, and a beautiful bathroom with a clawfoot soaking tub.
The charming Fish Cottage offers a more intimate experience, with its own fireplace and outdoor shower.
An additional grouping of four guest rooms features custom woodwork, four bathrooms, and individual fireplaces, including two substantial stone fireplaces.
Throughout the property, stone pathways meander beneath mature trees, connecting the cabins and creating a sense of discovery and seclusion. Private outdoor spaces invite quiet mornings, afternoons immersed in nature, and evenings beside the fire.
Once part of the legendary Manka’s Inverness Lodge, the property became known for its distinctive hospitality, exceptional locally sourced cuisine, and unforgettable atmosphere.
Today, the cabins retain the warmth, individuality, and craftsmanship that made Manka’s such a beloved West Marin destination.
An extraordinary opportunity to preserve a piece of Inverness history and imagine its next chapter.

Situated along Marin County's western coastline, Inverness combines natural beauty with small-town living. The community borders Point Reyes National Seashore, where Tomales Bay meets the rolling coastal hills, creating a stunning backdrop for daily life.
The architectural character of Inverness reflects its natural setting, with rustic cottages and homes designed to complement the landscape. These residences often feature natural materials and traditional coastal designs that have become characteristic of the area.
Outdoor activities form the heart of community life. The surrounding area provides extensive hiking trails, protected waters for kayaking, prime spots for birdwatching, and miles of untouched beaches and forests within the national seashore. The natural environment makes Inverness particularly attractive to residents interested in outdoor recreation and wildlife observation.
The town center maintains a deliberately simple character, with essential amenities including local cafes, a general store, and several art galleries. This modest commercial presence helps preserve the peaceful atmosphere that defines the community. The slower pace and emphasis on natural surroundings create an environment where residents can fully appreciate the coastal setting and tight-knit community connections.
