About the pool
THE VIBE & VIEWS Located near the top of a hill perched high above central Fairfax, this 10' x 30' solar-heated saltwater pool has mesmerizing views of Mt. Tam, the surrounding canyons, with SF Bay, Berkeley, and Mt. Diablo in the distance. The pool area offers a perfect mix of sunny and tree-shaded areas throughout the day, so you can take your pick. Sitting on the edge of the forest and open space, it’s the perfect place to relax to the sights and sounds of birds among the trees and flowers.
LOCATION & HISTORY The town of Fairfax has a reputation as a warm-weather retreat for fun and recreation. The pool is about a 5-10 minute drive (1 mile) up a typical Marin winding hillside road from downtown. I'm sure you will find the atmosphere at the top is worth it! (Fun fact: A scenic funicular railway actually went up this hill from 1913-1929!)
MAKE A DAY OF IT There is plenty to do in the neighborhood while you are here:
Explore: County open space hiking and mountain biking at Camp Tamarancho are just out back.
Sip: Santori Winery is right across the street! (You can book wine tastings directly under my "Amenities" section).
ACCESSIBILITY & PROPERTY ACCESS NOTE To ensure my pool is the right fit for your group, please note that access to the pool area requires walking up a natural dirt path about 20 yards long. Additionally, the restroom is located down roughly 2 flights of outdoor stairs. Because of this, the property is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible and may be challenging for guests with mobility issues. Please feel free to message me if you have any specific questions about access before booking!

What makes it special

Heated Pool

Pool is passive solar heated. The water is generally a quite comfortable 86-91 F in the summer. The water temp will start to slowly decrease in the fall. Send a message if you are interested in recent temps.

Furniture, tables, chairs

You are welcome to use the furniture: two reclining loungers, two upright chairs, two outdoor tables and chairs (4, 6 seats), small tables. There is a mix of sun and shade for most of the day. The sun dips below the trees in the late afternoon (~5pm in summer).

$20/hr

Sauna

Radiant-heat cedar sauna (electric coils with rocks). Two benches accommodate 3 or possibly 4 people total.

$10

Shower

There is an outdoor shower (hot/cold) and an indoor shower available. It is Marin County, so please try to conserve water.

Pool Toys

There are generally a couple of floating loungers, maybe other items around.

$40

Boutique Wine tasting

Complement your swim with a VIP barrel wine tasting of 8 or more award-winning wines. Personally presented by the winemaker in the wine cellar of the Italianesque Villa across the street (santoriwines.com). I will message you to confirm availability. $40/person fee may be credited to wine purchase
