Petaluma Cottage | Charming Farmhouse on Organic Cattle Ranch

2 Bedroom Cottage in Petaluma, Tomales

This cozy farmhouse (called the Schoolhouse) at Stemple Creek Ranch in West Marin is not to be missed. It is a few miles from the ocean and boasts two bedrooms, a private yard with garden and covered patio, and views of the countryside that stretch for miles. We also have three other houses onsite for bigger groups (Cottage for 2 is "Rustic Studio Cottage" and Cabin for 4 is "Rustic Cabin" and Farmhouse for 10 is "Zia's Farmhouse).
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.
This farmhouse is a refurbished old house with tons of charm. There are 2 bedrooms plus a queen-sized bed pull out couch that is very good quality and very comfortable, and a beautiful private garden and covered patio.
The ranch is just a few miles away 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.
Please note: no pets, no smoking, no open flames. We have a smart TV but no cable.
We have two other rentals and an on site manager - they are in the same general vicinity. While it is possible to come to the ranch and not see another person, we can't promise that.
The house itself, a front yard with outdoor seating, parking.
As little or much as our guests want. We do not live on the Ranch, but there are other houses on the ranch where other people live and we do work there on most days.
Stemple Creek Ranch is in the heart of the cheese, wine, oysters, and coastline of both Marin and Sonoma Counties. Visitors love to go kayaking, hiking, and enjoy the local wine, oysters, and cheese.
There is plenty of parking at the house. There is no public transportation in the area, a car is required for getting around.
There is Verizon and AT&T cell service. We do have satellite-based wifi on the ranch. There is also a local cafe, the Tomales Deli, that has free wifi.If you want to order beef or lamb from us (Stemple Creek Ranch) please let us know 10 days in advance, and we can have it there for you when you arrive.

Summary: I loved staying here. It happened to be a windy few days so we enjoyed listening to the wind in the grass and trees. It was lovely and very peaceful. The house is adorable and the kitchen had all the tools and appliances we needed! Loved this place.

Kirsty W. Jun 5, 2025 08:51:40 AM

Summary: The school house is in a stunning spot with lots of privacy. We loved our time here. A lot of thought has gone into the property, the kitchen is well stocked and everything was in good condition. We loved the surrounding views and coutryside. We will definitely stay again

Summary: Quintessential Marin Ranch Cottage. We spent the last 3 days of April 25 at the 'Schoolhouse' @ Stemple Creek Ranch. The cottage is well appointed and comfortable. The garden surrounding the cottage is especially impressive and we spent as much time as possible there. But really not enough. Also can't not mention the Quail and Turkey that seemed to always be around. All this and great weather.

Nick G. Sep 27, 2024 01:33:37 AM

Summary: Simply amazing. From the location to the amenities, this was a fantastic stay. Hesitant to tell friends and family about this gem as we want to keep it all to ourselves! The perfect quiet and serene getaway.

Kevin S. Sep 9, 2024 12:04:34 AM

Summary: House was clean and well appointed with wild flowers and herbs surrounding it.

Trevor S. Jul 24, 2024 04:06:31 PM

Summary: This is the perfect place to get away from busy life. It’s so quiet and calm here I would definitely come back. They also had steaks in the fridge for us and that was awesome.

Summary: This property is just amazing. At times it is hard to remember that this lovely cottage is inside a massive working family owned ranch. The setting is magical and the cottage was very well appointed and super clean. It seemed like everything was all brand new - or remodeled space that was the family's former "very real" school house. Property owners went out of their way to introduce my animal loving 7 year old to the farm animals! You might get to catch a peek of baby lambs and sheep, calves and cows, piglets and sows - not to mention the sheep dogs and barn cats! The property is hidden away near the town of Tomales. Which by the way has a wonderful bakery etc. We spent time in Bodega Bay and Tomales Bay. Super easy drive. I suggest you plan ahead and purchase some of the farms products: beef, pork and lamb. They will have it waiting for you in the fridge! It doesn't get more farm to table than that!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Schoolhouse! What a perfect respite from our day-to-day busy schedules. The stars in the dark night sky were an added bonus.

Susi F. Oct 5, 2023 11:00:16 AM

Summary: Such a unique wonderful place! Appreciated How well stocked it was with basics thank you! My family loved it there too…so quiet and peaceful.

Rachael D. Sep 20, 2023 11:00:11 AM

Summary: We wish we could have stayed longer. The grounds are beautiful. They have fun swings that my boys loved. The house was clean, cute and very comfortable. The garden was gorgeous. We loved it! Great place for a small family or anyone who likes beauty and solitude.
