Farmstay vacation rentals in Marin County

This was a great spot for our 48hrs in Sonoma. The cottage was perfect for four adults with a shared bathroom. Check in was simple, checkout was also simple. The cottage, as mentioned in previous reviews, is close to the main road but we weren’t bothered by the road noise. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, cute back patio area to sit and enjoy the complementary bottle of wine. Easy drive to anywhere you need to go.

We were two couples from the Bay Area. It was perfect for the four of us. Beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture and comfortable beds. Plenty of drawer space in bedrooms and closets for our cloths and things. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely outdoor space. Laura was very available for any questions. Check in and check out were very easy. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place!

We had a magical multigenerational stay at Locke's house in Inverness with my husband, three year old and my parents. We visit Pt Reyes regularly and the location is absolutely perfect, quick walk across the road to Chicken Ranch Beach for kids to romp around, a quick drive into Pt Reyes station for dinner, and easy access to all the wonderful Pt Reyes trails. The house itself was cosy, quiet, had amazing views from the deck (and was sunny most of the day which is rare on this side of Tomales bay!) and felt like a real home. We really liked having the separate cottage to provide a bit more privacy and quiet with a young kiddo with us, and we found the kitchen was well equipped for cooking in the evenings. The only very minor challenge we had was trying to heat the cottage and main house evenly as they are on the same heating system, and the nights were chilly during our visit. Definitely staying here again on future trips to Pt Reyes.

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

Jeanne was an incredible host! We messaged before our trip and she gave us great local recommendations on restaurants, wineries, and more. The property was beautiful, and we absolutely loved spending time with her goats. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcomed- a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers were waiting for us! The location couldn’t have been better—right next door to Sonoma’s Best, where we enjoyed great coffee, delicious breakfast and lunch, and a charming wine bar. Only a mile from Sonoma plaza and very close to several wineries. We’ll definitely be coming back soon! This place is such a gem.

We will be back! This property is lovely, comfortable and CLEAN! The sunflower cabin worked well for the 2 of us and was very comfortable. The location is perfect if you are exploring Pt Reyes National Seashore and there are plenty of restaurants, stores and amenities in Olema and Pt Reyes Station.

Kelli’s place is utterly charming and feels like a little private garden oasis. Highly recommend !

Great space! Beautiful and charming.

Nice visit to this hostel style lodging. Very unique.

Our family of 4 had such a lovely stay. My city kids (7 and 3) loved all the outdoor space to run around and especially seeing all the animals (horses, goats, alpacas, sheep, a neighborhood cat, rabbits, quail, lizards...!). Of course a huge highlight was the swimming pool, great temperature, and nice that the kids could stand on the shallow side/steps (and a great kid-safe fence around it). The house itself was lovely, a perfect size for us, with lots of thoughtful touches. Also nice peaceful location but an easy drive to restaurants, Sonoma Square, Traintown, etc. And great communication from Vi. We hope to be back!

Sonja’s home was as welcoming and warm as she was as a host - I felt like a left having made a friend on the area. She gave great and specific reccomend Ariona. The home was spotless, very well appointed, and comfortable for our family as well as conveniently located to downtown Sonoma We would definitely recommend and stay at Sonja’s again when we travel in the area!

Had a super peaceful stay here with my dog. Everything was extremely clean and exactly as described. Really appreciated all the details like the morning pastries.

Sonja was a fantastic house and the house was exactly as described. We had a great time. It was relaxing and super convenient to all the local attractions. We'd stay again on our next trip.

Jasmin was a great host and very responsive. The house and property are tucked away and feel very private with a beautiful view. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Stayed at Karen’s place for 5 days. It’s a really nice house on a quiet street and walkable to the main part of town. It has everything you need for your stay. The place was very clean. The beds were comfortable. I would highly recommend renting this home if you’re considering it. I communicated with Karen several times and she was quick to reply. Overall, it was a great experience!

Ariana's place is perfectly located within the small and secluded village of Dillion Beach. There are ocean views from the living room and the wrapped porch. You can access the beach from a foot path at the end of the road 2 blocks down. There is a parking pad next to the house which is a rare commodity and a wonderful convenience. The house has 2 queen bedrooms upstairs with a separate small bathroom, living/dining and a fabulous kitchen with everything you need. Just off the kitchen and down the stairs is a "bunk room" of sorts. Several beds, TV, washer & dryer and another bathroom. Ariana was a lovely host and we would stay at her cottage again! Tip: Be sure to bring all food and beverage supplies you want for your stay, there is only 1 general store and restaurant in the village. Stop by the Busy Bee farm stand for fruit, vegetables and flowers! Look for a book with Ariana's name on it, she is an author and has lived an amazing life.

This place has a lot of quirk and charm. It has amazing view of the Marin headlands and was perfect for our cozy staycation celebration. It's an older property with a lot of older furniture and knicknacks which does result in dust accumulation. But the beds are clean and comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for all the supplies you'd need to make meals. The deck is a lovely place to sit and sip on your coffee. The windows are huge which lets in a lot of natural light during the day but due to the construction of the house, there are very few overhead lights and only small lamps to use in the evenings. It adds to the cozy vibe but it is quite dark. Overall great stay, highly recommend!

The house had lovely interior space that was set up well for group interaction. Exterior space was scenic and had a variety of comfortable seating types and locations. Communication was excellent, from the detailed initial instructions to the email check ins to the labels on keys, showers, lights, etc. Overall, this was terrific space.

Had a restful stay at this beautiful home, well equipped house on a peaceful vineyard. This place is somehow both close to good food and far enough away to relax. I enjoyed seeing balloons and birds.

This house had the perfect layout. It boasts an open concept living area, dining room, and kitchen, with the primary bedroom at one end and the other two at the other end. It was so clean that we didn't mind letting our infant crawl on the floors. Probably the best part was the beautiful backyard complete with a deck, hammock, and hot tub! The only downside was the walking distance to restaurants and shopping, as we were expecting the square to be closer.

The farmhouse was a perfect weekend getaway from San Francisco, situated on a quiet property with a large garden and views of the blue Pacific waters. The interiors were artistically done, combining rural, country vibes with modern amenities. Also checks off the box for eco-friendly travelers looking for places that recycle, upcycle and preserve. Will be adding this place to the must visit again list.

Overall, very nice! My only real issue was the inflexability on the check out end of things. We had to leave a day earlier than planned, through no fault of our own. I tried for a late check out a day earlier (only 3 hours), to save some money of course. The response was, well you are booked until the 20th, so you can stay as long as you want on the 19th. I just felt that there could have been a little compromise, as people sometimes have to change plans due to circumstances beyond their control. Maybe a charge for staying later could have been offered, but I ended up paying for the entire last night without actually staying there. I have had similar situations over the years with other hosts, and they have been more than happy to compromise.

My family had a great stay at Hafeez's place. The space was exactly as described and provided a private sanctuary at the end of the day of activities. The pool was pristine, perfect for all ages to enjoy, and lots of outdoor seating allowed everyone to be together. The kitchen/dining area provided plenty of space for eating and kids to play. The location was convenient; downtown Sonoma is ~10 minutes by car, and there are plenty of wineries and restaurants within a 15 minute drive. Muir woods was about 1 hour drive.

A Thousand Million Stars! This home was even better than described! Pia, the host, was incredibly responsive and attentive from the start, making everything so easy and welcoming. The house itself was spotless, super comfortable, and beautifully decorated with a unique artistic touch that made it feel truly special. The outdoor area was amazing especially the pool, which we all loved and made the most of! When I asked my 6-year-old how many stars he would give it, he said: “a thousand million stars!” That says it all. We highly recommend this gem of a place and will definitely be back. Thank you, Pia, for sharing your wonderful home with us!
