Other things to note

• The ranch is privately located 1.25 miles down an unpaved road and a scenic 20 min drive to town.

PLEASE NOTE: there are 2 Airbnb homes on the ranch as well as our home and a tenant home.

• Please be aware of your reserved accommodation and park in the designated area to avoid causing disturbance to other guests.

• The main house with the covered porch is our residence, while a tenant lives in the white house.

• The first mile of driveway is designated as an easement, and we respectfully request that you drive at a slow pace, be considerate, and pull over to the side when safe to enable our neighbor's feed and work trucks to pass through.

• We spend our time outside working on the ranch when we are home, so please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything you need during your stay or if any issues arise as we want your stay to be exceptional.

• There is mobile reception, excluding T-Mobile, & WiFi is available.

• As the nearest grocery store and fuel station are situated 20-25 minutes away by car, we suggest planning ahead for meals during your stay at the ranch or discovering the many wonderful local restaurants.

• If special lodging arrangements are required, we will make every effort to accommodate your needs in a timely manner.

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

• As birds use window screens for nesting material, some windows do not have them, and while this can be unfortunate for some, we appreciate the birds for controlling the bug population.

We welcome guests from near and far to enjoy a unique and relaxing farm stay experience and make memories with the many things West Marin has to offer. Wonderful local restaurants, beaches, hiking trails and excursions all within a 15-30 minute drive!
