This unique studio lies four miles inland from Dillon Beach, near Sonoma wine country and the staggeringly beautiful Sonoma coastline and beaches. The bucolic 1-acre parcel is home to deer, wild turkey, rabbits and many species of birds, who come to the many fruit and cypress trees on the property.
The building is the original stable for the 100-year-old Estero Schoolhouse. Natural wood throughout with French windows, bamboo floors, full tile kitchen., queen sized kitchen and fold-out sofa couch. The compact tiled bathroom includes shower, toilet and sink. This is a perfect writer's retreat or for anyone enjoying the beaches, towns, vineyards, or the many natural wonders of West Marin and Sonoma County. Park your car 15 feet from the front door. See families of cows just six feet across the fence from your dining table.
The studio shares the same acre and lies about 100 feet away from the main schoolhouse. Both properties offer a great deal of privacy. The studio residents have exclusive use of their own south-facing brick patio, as well as the rear 1/2 acre of the property, which is filled with trees and meadow grass. Close to local wineries and breweries, or hike and kayak at Point Reyes national seashore! Enjoy exploring Bodega Bay, Dillon Beach, and the redwood forests 15 minutes away. The perfect getaway. Enjoy quality time with your travel companion or alone in this bucolic setting.
Guest access Guests can unload and park immediately next to the studio. Guests have exclusive use of the adjoining gazebo and deck as well as a bricked patio area to the south of the studio.
The schoolhouse, which sleeps up to six, is also available either separately or with the studio through VRBO: https://www.vrbo.com/867988 Renting both listings together is recommended for those with larger parties,.

Country Stay near the Coast!If good price and location near the coast is your jam, this is the place for you! Close to Valley Ford down a country lane. Would be a great place to rent both the schoolhouse and guest unit as rentals are close. Beware of ticks in this environment and bring a little insect repellent. Would make a nice place to have a family vacation near Bodega with both places rented. Host was accommodating and communication was prompt and friendly!

The studio is quite adorable and has such a fun history. There are charming dairy cow and sheep farms all around which made us feel like we were in Ireland. The roads in the area do get flooded in heavy rains, so be cautions if vacationing during the rainy season.

The studio is cozy and tranquil. It has all amenities, including a full kitchen, in the small space. It is close to sights like Dillon Beach (beautiful sunsets), Bodega Bay and to dining/shopping spots like Sebastopol. The Valley Ford market, 4 minutes away, is good for the essentials. Stephen was a kind host and we had a lovely Thanksgiving stay. We will certainly be back.

Wonderful country cottage
This sweet place was exactly what we were hoping for. Private, quiet, clean, simple and in nature. The cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Stephen is responsive and a great host. We will so be back to this wonderful spot. Just a short drive to the beach and amazing restaurants. We were very happy with our stay.
