Flawless Operations and Heartfelt Care--The Only Choice for Your Dream Getaway!…read more I have had the absolute privilege of knowing and working closely with the founder of Wild Luxury Odysseys for over 15 years in the fast-paced dental field. She trained me from the ground up, completely shaping my professional path and directly impacting my livelihood and future for the better. Because of that, I know firsthand her exceptional work ethic, meticulous attention to detail, and fierce dedication to helping others succeed. Her super sweet, kind, and compassionate heart shines through in absolutely everything she does, and I trust her tremendously with my family's most precious memories. Now that I am married nine years to my high school sweetheart and a proud mom to a busy 4-year-old, our rare time off together is incredibly sacred. I have taken many trips with her agency, and whether it's a quick getaway to New York, Hawaii or a complex itinerary around the world, I always know my family is in the absolute best hands. On our last vacation, she went completely above and beyond by arranging a surprise date night for my husband and me, coordinating a flawless on-site nanny service right at our accommodations. Knowing her extensive background managing multi-million dollar practices where missing a single detail was never an option, I wasn't at all surprised by how perfect the logistics were. She handles everything with complete precision behind the scenes.

We had the misfortune of cancelling our reservation, which was done 3 weeks prior to our stay only to wake up to a nasty message that we did not cancel and further insulted us with a comment of causing him to lose money. I strongly recommend the proprietor check his email messages timely and regularly and accept his own responsibilities if he plans to remain in business. Do yourself a favor and stay at a nearby hotel. At least they know how to properly conduct business!

The kitchen is very well equipped. Ron and staff are a delight to interact with. The location makes it very convenient if you are traveling north or south on 101 - or headed east to Sebastopol or the coast. The Sage Hen is a very peaceful, beautiful property. I would highly recommend staying on any of the properties at the Sage Hen. You will not be disappointed!

*** I saw Butler's Limousine on Bay Area Half Off. They advertised an 8 hour limo special for 10…read morepeople for $470.00. I thought this sounded fair so I got 9 friends together, called and made our reservations. On Aug 24th, all 10 of us met and our driver, Michael, picked us up right on time. During the course of our trip, we asked Michael how much we would get charged per hour if we wanted to go over our allotted time. Michael called his dispatch center who quoted him $90.00 and hour. We did end up going over two hours therefore, I fully expected to pay the extra $180.00. Much to my surprise, Butler's Limo Service charged my credit card $419.00 for those two hours. I spent a full 2 days trying to get in touch with someone who could resolve the issue for me. Of course, no one returned my phone calls. Finally, I decided to call the driver, Michael. Michael was kind enough to call Steve for me and asked that Steve call me. Steve did call and he assured me my credit card would be refunded $239.00 for the overcharge. Steve told me it would take 14-21 days to receive the credit which I did not understand because they had no problems charging my credit card in the first place. Anyway, it has been over 21 days and no credit. Of course, I once again started with the phone calls and no one is available and/or no one returns my phone calls. In addition, I have sent two e-mails to the owner STEVEN A. JONES with no response. I have been forced to file a complaint with the BBB, CPUC, the government organization that regulates cabs/limousine services, I am disputing the charges with my credit card company, and I am seeking information on how to file a fraudelant transaction complaint against Butler's. Since the theft of my $239.00, I have found out that a certain advertising site dumped Butler's Limousine Service from their contract for "shady business". If you do decide to use this service, reconsider!!!! I highly recommend you look elsewhere. If you do use this sham of a business, do not give them a credit card, because they just charge whatever they want and you can not reach people to get your stolen money back.

The "Hi House" is absolutely gorgeous, starting with the panoramic view of the sky and trees all around you when you wake up in the morning. You can't get much closer to being in the elements, except you have central heating and a comfy bed. There are decks all around the place for just sitting and taking in the scenery, and I bet if you brought that certain someone, you might not leave the place for days. This little house is made for two, with one central room made entirely of glass, a tiny kitchen and even tinier bathroom. There is a Jetson-esque tram that actually takes you from your car up the hill to the house, so you really do feel like you're in a tree house, far up from the world down below. Antlers and succulents and 1960s furniture are the backdrop. Between the hiking trails and the oysters, the ocean and the Scotland highland-ish surroundings, there's tons to do and explore. Just one rule... no rocks! You are in a glass house after all.

You dreamed of this when you were six, but who knew it existed? The Trees by Tomales Bay is composed of just two properties on 5 acres. On your first night, there is continental breakfast left in the fridge. It's "adults only" and you couldn't comfortably fit more than two, anyway. There are three separate decks for reading, and you'll see little more than trees and the water in the distance (oh, and some birds who missed the glass and fly into it-it's okay-they all kept flying. I checked) It's even decked out in 70's decor to complete your childhood fantasy. The bed is super high, very soft, and I was pleased with the linens. The owners have also outfitted the house with every book on Point Reyes ever published. Quiet, peaceful-an absolute favorite.
