About this property

Zia's Farmhouse at Organic Cattle Ranch in West Marin - Its a Stunner!

NEW! Check out our 5-star reviews on our other listings on the same property. This is a lovingly refurbished 150-year-old farmhouse on Stemple Creek Ranch in West Marin. We are just off Highway 1 near the town of Tomales.

This house is oozing with classic charm. It has a huge chef's kitchen, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large dining room with wet bar, a spacious family room with lots of comfy seating, and beautiful outdoor spaces.

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, grass-finished beef, lamb, and pastured pork. This farmhouse has been lovingly restored and is ready to host our next adventure.

There are a total of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. We also have two tri-fold mattresses you can use to comfortably sleep 10 in the house.

Downstairs:
- Huge chef's kitchen with a 48-inch Viking range, two dishwashers, two sinks, and a large island with seating.
- The dining room has a wet bar with a beverage fridge and a dining room table that is original to the house.
- Mudroom with a full bath with walk-in shower, laundry room, and walk-in pantry.
- Downstairs has one bedroom with a Queen sized bed and closet.
- Downstairs has a second full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
- Also downstairs is a large family room with plenty of seating, flatscreen TV (streaming services only, no cable), and games.

Upstairs:
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The primary bedroom has its own private bathroom with a walk-in shower, king-sized bed, cozy chair, Pelton bike, and writing/work desk.
- The second bedroom upstairs has a full-sized bed.
- The third bedroom upstairs has a queen-sized bed.
- There is a hallway bathroom upstairs that has a walk-in shower.

Kitchen is stocked with 48 inch Viking range, two sinks, pots, pans, knives, oils and vinegars, spices, coffee grinder and coffee maker (drip), BBQ tools, and more.

The house has an outdoor grill for your BBQ needs and satellite-based wi-fi.

The ranch is just a few miles from the town of Tomales, less than one mile from Shoreline Highway (Highway 1), and a great home base for both Marin and Sonoma Counties.

Please note: No pets, no smoking, no open flames. We have three other vacation rentals about 1 mile away. This is a working ranch, and we have an employee who lives close to this house (the two houses share a driveway). Please note that you will likely see our employees and guests on the ranch and will see and hear cars, trucks, and the operations of a working family ranch.

If you want to host an event or do commercial/professional photography, please contact us first. Renting this house does NOT allow you to have a party or event on-site. Maximum occupancy is 10 guests at all times.

Lovely country home

Beautiful, comfortable home in fabulous rural setting. We appreciated the large, well-equipped kitchen and sunny front porch. Bedrooms were very comfortable. With the farmhouse as home base, we enjoyed excursions to Sonoma for wine-tasting and dinner in the square, and to Bodega Bay for ocean views and hiking. Lovely weekend!

Beautiful, rustic

Such a beautiful home- was a perfect getaway for a small group of friends. A gorgeous house and peaceful surroundings. Amazing kitchen and super comfortable bedrooms. The property manager was super helpful and responsive (door was double bolted when we arrived and she helped resolve). Despite house exterior being painted, she was kind to send someone over to remove the plastic from the windows shortly after we arrived. Overall great experience and would love to come back.

Fantastic Farmhouse

Looking at the exterior you would not know what is inside! There is a massive kitchen so several of us could be preparing meals and seating around the island to chat with the family. There was everything we needed to cook, serve and spice our food. The master bedroom is large with a comfortable bed and in suite bathroom. The other three bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely appointed. We had plenty of towels, etc. We were attending a wedding at the venue on the ranch property. It was the perfect place for my family to gather together and not have to drive into Petaluma. I would highly recommend the farmhouse. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Farmhouse meets modern in all the right ways

I booked this property for a milestone birthday celebration with a group of friends. The house is on a working farm, so upon arrival you really feel as though you are transported into another time (for us city folk). We were stunned as we walked into the house, which somehow perfectly manages to be clean and modern and also full of historic character and farmhouse touches. We really enjoyed cooking together in the huge, well-stocked kitchen with its giant island and great range. The dining room was a perfect setting for a birthday dinner with its big table and buffet for serving. And of course we ended the night at the fire pit outside under the stars with 8 very comfortable Adirondack chairs. The bedrooms were cute, and well-sized to share. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were cute, modern, and clean. What more could you ask for??
