🌿 STEMPLE CREEK RANCH FARMHOUSE
Do you want wide open countryside views, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of space to gather with family and friends? This lovingly restored 150-year-old farmhouse at Stemple Creek Ranch in West Marin sits on our working organic cattle ranch and offers 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests. Located just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean and the town of Tomales, this spacious home is perfectly suited for extended families or groups of friends who appreciate open space, coastal access, and the experience of staying on a true working ranch. Traveling with a larger group? We also have three additional cabins located nearby on the ranch.

🍳 GATHER, COOK & HANG OUT
The oversized chef’s kitchen is the true heart of the farmhouse — generous, functional, and built for real meals, not just quick bites. It’s thoughtfully stocked with everything you need to prepare memorable meals for your group. You’ll enjoy:
• 48-inch Viking range
• Two dishwashers
• Two sinks
• Large island with seating
• Oils, vinegars, and spices
• Coffee grinder and drip coffee maker
• BBQ tools
• And more

The adjoining dining room adds even more space to gather, complete with a wet bar, beverage fridge, and nugget ice maker — perfect for entertaining or keeping drinks chilled while meals come together.
There’s plenty of room to spread out around the island or settle in at the dining table, whether you’re serving a full breakfast before heading to the coast or sitting down to a ranch-style dinner at the end of the day.
You’ll have everything you need to cook, connect, and truly enjoy the experience together.

🛏️ REST, RETREAT & SPREAD OUT
4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | Sleeps Up to 10

After a full day exploring, everyone has space to unwind. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, this farmhouse is designed so your group can be together — without ever feeling on top of each other.
Two tri-fold mattresses are also available, allowing the home to comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests.

On the main level, you’ll find:
• One bedroom with a queen-sized bed and closet
• A full bathroom with tub/shower combo
• A second full bathroom with a walk-in shower

Upstairs offers three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, creating a quiet retreat away from the main living areas:
• Primary bedroom with a king-sized bed and private ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower
• Second bedroom with a full-sized bed
• Third bedroom with a queen-sized bed
• Shared bathroom with walk-in shower
Whether it’s early mornings with coffee in bed or winding down after dinner, each guest has a comfortable place to recharge — making it easy to gather during the day and retreat at night.

🛜 WIFI & CONNECTIVITY
You are staying on a working ranch in West Marin — but that doesn’t mean you’re off the grid. The home offers satellite-based Wi-Fi, along with Verizon and AT&T cell service. For those blending work with travel, the farmhouse includes a dedicated writing/work desk, a quiet space to take calls, respond to emails, or simply sit with a cup of coffee and a view. Whether you're streaming a show in the evening, joining a video call, or planning your next adventure, you’ll have reliable connectivity while enjoying the open space and slower rhythm of ranch life.

🎬 TV & GAMES
After a day exploring, the large family room becomes the place everyone naturally gathers. With plenty of seating, it’s designed for relaxing, stretching out, and staying awhile. Turn on the flatscreen TV and stream a movie (streaming services only — no cable), or let the evening unfold with games spread across the coffee table.
This is the kind of space where laughter carries, conversations linger, and no one feels rushed to be anywhere else. Whether it’s a quiet movie night or friendly competition over a board game, the focus here is simple, shared time together.

🏡 EVERYDAY COMFORTS THAT MAKE STAYING EASY
This farmhouse isn’t just beautiful — it’s practical in all the right ways, especially for longer stays or active days outdoors. A dedicated laundry room means you can pack lighter and settle in, while the walk-in pantry provides generous storage for groceries and group meals — especially helpful when you’re cooking for a full house.
For those who like to keep up their routine, the home also includes a Peloton bike — so whether it’s a quick morning ride before breakfast or an evening reset, you can get your workout in!

🔥 OUTDOOR SPACE, BBQ & COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS
The farmhouse offers a private yard with outdoor seating and an outdoor grill for your BBQ needs. Enjoy a meal outside while taking in the sweeping countryside views that stretch for miles. As the evening settles in, gather around the gas firepit on the patio—the perfect spot to relax with a drink, share stories, and watch the sunset over the fields.
