Attended a wedding at China Cabin with my partner and it was absolutely magical. The historic charm of the space paired with the stunning waterfront view made for such a memorable experience. It’s a beautiful, intimate venue — timeless and full of character. Highly recommend for a romantic event or even just a visit to soak in the views.

What a special landmark, so well preserved and loved. I liked the historical markers. Mr. Webb would be honored to know his creation has made it this far. I must attend an event here!

Worked a wedding reception here. This is a very small venue to host an event. Planning a sit down dinner you do not want to have more than 40 guests. The view from the deck is beautiful. You can see Tiburon, the Bay and Belvedere. The interior looks very high end, with lots of gold leaf painted design. The wedding…

Captain Jack does a great job of explaining how the China Cabin came to Belvedere...a fascinating history of steam paddlewheel shipping and preservation of nautical architecture complete with real gold leaf, etched windows and whale oil chandeliers.

EvanLocal Guide · 112 reviewsTotal number of Google reviews this person has written across all businesses on Google Maps (not just this one). More reviews usually means a more experienced, trustworthy reviewer. · 5 years ago★★★

Neat history, but for me, not interesting enough to warrant a special trip by itself. Combined with other local sites might be worth effort. I dropped by while biking around Tiburon. Other sites to see if in area: Blackie horse sculpture, Lyford's Tower, 'Tiburon Riviera,' Audubon house, St Hiliary's Church.

Interesting landmark and history. Is close and not really much to see, just mainly outside.
