Summary: We have stayed at a number of wonderful places in the Tomales Bay area over the years, mainly in Inverness. But the Straus Family Ranch experience gave us the deepest experience of the land and its history. The deep personal connection that the owners, Michael and Vivien Straus, have with the place and their warm enthusiasm for sharing it make the place exceptional.

jamis m. Jun 26, 2024 07:34:38 AM

Summary: We travel a lot and this was simply the best for our big family. No negatives at all. Even the placement of the toilet paper dispensers was perfect which is basically how I grade a place These were A+.

Summary: We stayed here with family from out of town and found the Straus family’s historic home to be both beautiful and comfortable. Vivien and Michael both made a point to warmly welcome us and make us feel right at home. While at the ranch we enjoyed the beach, pretty garden, bonfires with s'mores, and colorful sunsets from the living room. We had a wide variety of age groups with us and everyone had a wonderful time. Breathtakingly gorgeous Dillon Beach is nearby and we also enjoyed Route One Bakery, Nick’s Cove, and Due West restaurants. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to stay at this ranch with my family and made such nice memories. Thank you, Straus family!

Summary: We highly recommend the Strauss Home Ranch. We grandparents arranged the rental for us and our daughter's family, which included an infant and a high-energy toddler. The house itself is a charming and lovely farmhouse; sparkling clean, comfortable and well-kept, with a great modern kitchen and views of the water. The location in the Pt Reyes area was perfect for us and we were content for a few days not to get into the car at all, though Pt Reyes Station and the National Seashore were within easy reach for shopping and hiking. The 2-year old loved the resident chicken, the cows, the yard, the calm little beach on Tomales Bay just a stroll across Highway 1, all the wildlife (fox, deer, turkeys) and picking blackberries near the house. A very short walk up Highway 1 one day took us to Nick's Coves where we had an outstanding oyster/seafood lunch in the little cabin at the end of the pier. Heavenly! Michael, the co-owner, gave us a personal tour of the ranch and was readily available if we needed him (but we didn't, as everything was so well thought out). The Straus Home Ranch seems to encompass all the best of West Marin, which is high praise!

Claire K. Aug 27, 2021 11:01:23 AM

Summary: We loved the property!

Sarah M. Aug 7, 2021 10:07:32 PM

Summary: We highly recommend this beautiful property and home. Michael was a delight to visit with and was more then helpful with any needs we had during our stay. The bonfire, visiting the cows, walking the property and hearing about its history was magical. We cannot wait to visit again!

Jennifer S. Jul 26, 2021 11:46:22 PM

Summary: Perfect gathering place for family and friends

Stacey F. Jun 22, 2021 11:51:33 AM

Summary: We had such a great weekend at the Strauss Home Ranch. Our kids (ages 4 and 6) loved playing outside and visiting the chickens. Vivien gave us an incredible tour, which we all loved. The home is so comfortable and well-appointed. It had everything we needed. We ended up spending much more time at the house than originally anticipated. Our kids just wanted to play in the yard and at the beach across the street. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer!

Summary: My fiancè and I booked a weekend stay at the Straus Ranch sight unseen for our immediate family only - covid friendly wedding. WOW--we felt so blessed staying at this property that was a welcoming home and bucolic dream wrapped up in one. After pushing up our spring wedding we had already had a bit of heartache in not having all of our loved ones there, but we couldn't have imagined what a lovely gift this place would be--it's pure magic! Vivien and Michael were wonderful in helping us troubleshoot some of the details. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials to whip up a family meal and the rooms were cozy and quiet enough to please our toughest critics (my 2 and 4-year-old nephew and niece). The property is a quick drive to Pt. Reyes Station/several hiking spots and don't miss the fresh oysters (book ahead) down the road at Hog Island Oyster Co. Thank you Straus Siblings~We hope to return to the ranch in the future to relive the magic!
