Description
Point Reyes National Seashore Association is proud to partner with Nick's Cove & Cottages for a mid-week, 2-night stay*, including a 5-course chef's tasting and a special sailing adventure on Tomales Bay with Captain Brett Miller for up to four guests!
You and your guests will check in to Nick's Cove for two nights of luxury in one of their waterview cottages overlooking Point Reyes National Seashore, Tomales Point and the Tule Elk Preserve. Each cottage is beautifully appointed with plush down comforters, a wood burning stove and bathrooms equipped with heated ceramic tile floors. The picturesque setting and tranquil waterside evenings make it the perfect place to unwind and refresh yourself.
On one of your nights, you and your guests will enjoy a special 5-course chef tasting menu of the freshest seafood and locally-sourced culinary delights prepared by executive chef, Austin Perkins. The natural beauty and abundant farm produce of the West Marin coast inspire Chef Perkins' seasonal, sustainable and delicious California cuisine sourced from local dairy and produce farms, and the freshest seafood from nearby waters. Each dish is fresh and approachable, the perfect combination of comfort and refinement, and the very essence of elegant but hearty, farm-to-table cuisine. Their inspired restaurant feels more like a hunting lodge, complete with restored mahogany bar, wood-burning fireplace, and reclaimed redwood tables and is the perfect spot for a nightcap.
Use one of your days to head over to Nick's boat dock, just steps away from your room, to meet Captain Brett Miller for a sailing adventure on Tomales Bay. You and your guests will board his 22-foot catamaran and float away to discover the unique history, geology and ecology of this pristine waterway. Customize your trip with a walk on a secret beach or picnic, or let the Captain usher you around to his favorite places. Brett has been on the water since he was five years old, and has since logged thousands of hours of sailing for commercial and private vessels from small dingys to large 40-foot yachts. He is Coast Guard certified, a member of the Inverness Yacht Club and former kayak guide along the bay.

Nick’s is a very special place that honors and respects the area, giving visitors a glimmer of an agrarian life that's so near but really so far from the city consciousness. It seems impossible to believe it's still in the 415 area code. --Michael Bauer, SF Chronicle
