Coastal parkland hideaway
Adirondack chairs cluster around evening courtyard fire pits beneath dark skies, where trails wind through sixty-two acres of coastal pine forest.

What they say
Also in AFAR.
The attractive interiors, which blend retro elements with a modern, maximalist style, are sure to draw you in.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Coastal Highway 1 leads past Tomales Bay oyster farms, scenic dairy pastures, and the windswept headlands of Point Reyes National Seashore.
The rooms
Two-story wood cabins feature cozy second-floor lofts and bay views, intentionally omitting televisions in favor of quiet immersion and restful sleep.
Sauna and yoga
A glass-fronted cedar sauna looks out across Tomales Bay, and morning yoga sessions take to the grassy hillside.
Dogs stay too.
Mable's Restaurant & Patio
A raw oyster bar and green-tiled cocktail counter anchor the dining room, serving seasonal dishes sourced from West Marin.
How it began
Built in 1914 by radio inventor Guglielmo Marconi as a transpacific wireless telegraph station, the campus once communicated directly with ships at sea.
