The space
We welcome guests from near and far to enjoy a true farm stay experience and make memories with the many things West Marin has to offer. There are wonderful local restaurants, beaches, hiking trails and kayaking/horseback riding excursions - all within a 15-30 minute drive! Please note, Cow Track Ranch is a working ranch - the home is deep cleaned between every guest and dust can still get in as we are surrounded by fields of open space. The birds also nest nearby (& therefore we do not have window screens as they use the material for their nests & screens do not last). The Swallows nest in the trees, barns and sometimes the house eves and they can be messy outside during their seasons - we applaud them for eating bugs & being one of the reasons we do not have mosquitos, so we hope you understand. You may hear coyotes howling after sunset, chickens, frogs from the pond and tractors during daylight. The property is not a hotel, but we hope this adds to the charm!

Other things to note
Please be sure to follow driving directions and check-in instructions in advance and share with any other joint travelers.

Located 1.25 miles down a windy gravel road where it’s peaceful and quiet.

PLEASE NOTE: there are 2 Airbnb homes on the ranch:
A.) Guest House (for 2 guests)
B.) Bunk House (for up to 5 guests)

Please be aware of which house you have reserved & park in the designated location to not disrupt other guests.

• We share the first driveway (1 mile) with our neighbors - please be courteous, drive slowly and pull to the side where safe in order for feed/work trucks to pass by.

• On the ranch, there are livestock, free range chickens, horses, 2 Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs + 2 house dogs.

• If you have special lodging requirements, we are happy to do our best to accommodate your request ahead of time.

• There is mobile reception with the exception of T-Mobile.

• The nearest grocery store & fuel station are a 20-25 min drive, so do plan ahead for in-house meals on your way to the ranch or enjoy the many wonderful local restaurants!

• With country living comes the critters, so please be mindful of closing doors and windows. We promise it’ll be worth it. Let’s keep these things outside where they belong so the next guests can enjoy the same.

• There are no screens on the windows as the birds utilize them as nesting material (they do not last around here!)

• Water conservation is a must during the summer and we thank you for understanding the struggles of Mother Nature during a drought (our water comes from a natural spring).

• Winter stays: a wood burning fireplace is the only heat source for the house - don’t worry, firewood, kindling, paper and lighters are provided & there is more if needed. The house will warm up within 30-60 min of the fire going and we promise it gets cozy no matter how cold it may be beforehand! An oil heater is in the downstairs bedroom to keep that room cozy (keep doors closed to keep the heat in).

• Summer stays: it can get quite warm upstairs, so please note the coolest room is downstairs. The home was built in the 1800's, so there are no open windows in the loft but there is a fan provided.

• There are some occasions where the power will go out during the heat wave (PG&E for fire safety/prevention) or winter storms (when lines are down) - but rest assured, the water and cooking stove are powered by propane and we have plenty of lanterns and candles for lighting. We are much used to this and we promise it’s fun to get cozy and enjoy some peacefulness with ambiance and board games. If you need power for health reasons, we have a portable generator and are happy to set it up for you.
