About this property
Rustic Studio Cottage on Organic Cattle Ranch
This cozy studio cottage (lovingly called the Writer's Cottage) at Stemple Creek Ranch in West Marin is a sweet retreat. It has a small deck with a BBQ, tiny kitchenette, outdoor shower, and views of the countryside that stretch for miles.
There is new floors as of 2023, a queen sized bed, writer's desk, and cozy chair. Your private backyard space as an outdoor shower and gas grill.
We also have a larger cabin on the property that sleeps 4 (property # 681593), a farmhouse that sleeps 6 (property #1227083) and an event venue (outdoor spaces and a beautiful barn!) if you are looking for somewhere to host party, wedding, or corporate event.
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.
The cabin is just a few miles 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. Visitors love to go kayaking, hiking, and enjoy the local wine, oysters, and cheese.
No professional photography or filing without prior approval. There are other people who live and work on the ranch. All guests must be considerate of others at all times. No pets allowed except service animals. No more than 2 people are permitted on premises at any time.
