About this cottage rental

This cozy farmhouse (called the Schoolhouse) at Stemple Creek Ranch in West Marin is not to be missed. It is a few miles from the ocean and boasts two bedrooms, a private yard with garden and covered patio, and views of the countryside that stretch for miles. We also have three other houses onsite for bigger groups (Cottage for 2 is "Rustic Studio Cottage" and Cabin for 4 is "Rustic Cabin" and Farmhouse for 10 is "Zia's Farmhouse).

Stemple Creek Ranch is a family owned and operated organic cattle ranch in Tomales, CA, just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. We raise grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb and pastured pork.

This farmhouse is a refurbished old house with tons of charm. There are 2 bedrooms plus a queen-sized bed pull out couch that is very good quality and very comfortable, and a beautiful private garden and covered patio.

The ranch is just a few miles away from the town of Tomales, less than a mile away from Highway 1 (Shoreline Highway), and a great home base for exploring Marin or Sonoma Counties.

Please note: no pets, no smoking, no open flames. We have a smart TV but no cable.

We have two other rentals and an on site manager - they are in the same general vicinity. While it is possible to come to the ranch and not see another person, we can't promise that.

The house itself, a front yard with outdoor seating, parking.

As little or much as our guests want. We do not live on the Ranch, but there are other houses on the ranch where other people live and we do work there on most days.

Stemple Creek Ranch is in the heart of the cheese, wine, oysters, and coastline of both Marin and Sonoma Counties. Visitors love to go kayaking, hiking, and enjoy the local wine, oysters, and cheese.

There is plenty of parking at the house. There is no public transportation in the area, a car is required for getting around.

There is Verizon and AT&T cell service. We do have satellite-based wifi on the ranch. There is also a local cafe, the Tomales Deli, that has free wifi.If you want to order beef or lamb from us (Stemple Creek Ranch) please let us know 10 days in advance, and we can have it there for you when you arrive.

Although the ranch is somewhat remote it is centrally located for exploring rolling countryside of Marin or heading west into Sonoma or north into Mendocino or hanging out in the garden with the quail.
