The Studio Cottage was a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty. It was welcoming, clean and well cared for. The wild life was amazing. The birds, deer and owls made my stay memorable.

Cute and cozy!

Lovely place to stay. Outdoor shower was refreshing in the cool evening air. Only drawback was the lack of separation between the bathroom and main room - the curtain doesn't give much privacy, so make sure you're very comfortable with any travelling companions!

A writer’s dream

It was sublime to be in nature, and the cottage quaint and comfortable. I experienced unforgettable sunsets and a moonlit dawn that took my breath away! Showering outdoor in the cold morning was tempered by the hot shower and unforgettable to be amidst trees with hawks flying above me!

Reminds me of home

I grew up in western Montana and spent a lot of time on the family cattle/sheep ranch. Your place is equally beautiful and the cottage was well stocked and cozy. Just one comment, you might want to give a little direction on opening the door. I found it a little tricky. Thanks for a great stay!

Writers Cottage

The bed was very comfortable. There's no a/c. When we arrived the cottage was closed up and very stuffy. We opened the 1 window and turned the fan on to try and cool off the cottage while we went to dinner. Most of the surrounding establishments close by 8, it was our experience that they run out of food items as well. Had a difficult time finding a coffee shop south of the cottage. I would recommend being food/coffee creamer/sugar. Over all it's a cute cottage and farm.

Stemple Creek Writer's Cottage

*We had a great time. Cozy. Served our purposes. *It might be helpful to put pictures of how close the other houses are. *Needs pot holders for the toaster oven. The tray gets very hot. I had to use the dish towel. *Coffee machine was great. Came with coffee pods and creamers. *Stemple Creek Jerky was a nice touch. *Only condiment was salt and oil. Could at least have pepper. Since you are out in the middle of the country, maybe tell people there is only one small frying pan and one pot. Emphasize that you need to bring EVERYTHING if you are going to BBQ. We had to scramble to find the BBQ. *Since it was 32 degrees in the morning, the outdoor shower was frozen until past check-out time. Maybe more insulation on the pipes? BUT WE DID REALLY ENJOY THE STAY!!!!!!!!!! Just some hopefully helpful suggestions.

Heaven!

I loved this cottage. It's soooo quiet. Though there are other buildings around, it felt very private and the main views of the cottage look out to the hills. I was there to write, and it was perfect. The kitchen worked for me just fine, but it is very spare and the refrigerator is small. The bed is very comfy. And I loved the outdoor shower. Katie, the on-site manager, was responsive via text and completely unintrusive. I'll definitely go back.

Peaceful, pleasant retreat

Quiet comfortable 2-night escape from city life. Appreciated no TV and simplicity. Hosts were very responsive when we couldn’t find grill utensils. Nice touches of garden and outdoor seating. We loved hearing the great horned owl, cattle, and sheep.

Wonderful Country Getaway

The Writer's Cottage was the perfect place for a few nights away from the hustle and bustle of the city where my husband and I live. We spent our first leg of our honeymoon there and enjoyed the proximity to kayaking in Tomales Bay, dining near beautiful Bodega Bay, and the incredible hiking that surrounds that area. The communication with hosts was very thorough and detailed, and we had no trouble with check-in. The cabin warmed up nicely with the heater, and we enjoyed the adventure of using the outdoor shower! Overall we would recommend this VRBO for anyone looking to have a rustic but comfortable Northern Marin experience.

Charming, private, quiet

This charming cabin is off the beaten path and was perfect for me. I stayed two nights and truly enjoyed the peace and beauty of the ranch. During the day I traveled all around the area, visiting small towns for great food and shopping, and also going to several different beaches along the ocean, all within easy driving distance. I highly recommend the Writers Cottage.
