Rustic Ranch Stay in Bay Area

Book Your Ranch Stay!

We love sharing our ranch with others just as much as we love enjoying it ourselves. Seeing our land, our animals, and the beautiful West Marin coast through visitors eyes makes all of our work worth doing.

Stemple Creek Ranch is just a few miles from the ocean, the quaint town of Tomales, and the legendary California's Coast Highway (sometimes called Highway 1 or Shoreline Highway). This area is a great home base for exploring Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Counties. Each of our three guest accommodations have beautiful views and a quiet ranch atmosphere.

The Farmhouse (AKA The Schoolhouse): This cozy farmhouse at Stemple Creek Ranch is not to be missed. It has two bedrooms, one and half baths, a full kitchen, a quiet yard with a beautiful garden and covered patio, and views of the countryside that stretch for miles. We call it the Schoolhouse because the previous owner ran a preschool in it and Loren (Co-Owner and Rancher at Stemple Creek Ranch) and his sisters went to preschool here! Sleeps up to 6.

The Studio Cottage (AKA The Writer's Cottage): This studio cottage, lovingly called the Writer's Cottage, has a cult following, largely because of the outdoor, private shower! It is a sure sweet retreat. It has a small deck with a BBQ, tiny kitchenette, outdoor shower, and solitude for 1-2 people.
