An impeccably beautiful home, well appointed, and tastefully decorated overlooking Tomales Bay. We were comfortable and everything felt very private. Micah was a superb host, very responsive and helpful. We can't wait to go back.

Ridge house is a perfect get-away with the full deck facing Tomales Bay. Hazel nut, Bishop Pine and Bay Laurel trees surround the home. It's like being in a tree house. The house is spacious and provides enough private space for two couples to lounge, nap, and cook. The furniture is comfy. We spent half the time on the deck. One night was chilly so we built a fire in the wood burning stove. If you appreciate West Marin and California architecture, this house is a must. It holds the design and history of Sim Van der Ryn, an innovator of California architecture. Sim's son Micah is a great source of information. Micah's meditation garden is a peaceful place for your morning coffee and meditation.
