Guest access:
The home is set up for self check-in. Guests can access the home via lockbox and will have access to the entire home.


Other things to note:
1. Confirmed guests will receive a local "Insider's Guide". We're a family business deeply connected to our community, and we hope you'll enjoy and respect this beautiful corner of the world while supporting our local economy sustainably. We love sharing it with our guests!

2. The home is professionally cleaned with eco-friendly products.

3. No chores for our guests! That’s what the cleaning fee is for, right? We have a fantastic team of housekeepers, some of whom have worked with us for over 10 years. We fully clean each home top to bottom, fully restocking all amenities, replacing worn-out items, and keeping things fresh and pleasant for our guests. We use top-notch cleaning products without annoying scents or chemicals, and our cleaners are paid living wages because they are the backbone of what we do and you’ll appreciate their attention to detail.

4. We do have a video surveillance camera on the parking area (only), as well as family members who live at the main ranch house. So while your privacy and comfort is assured, we will not tolerate any abuse of our "NO PARTIES - NO ANIMALS" policy. If you're looking for a place to cut loose and laugh and play music late into the night, we have other homes nearby that are more appropriate. Please ask us for alternative accommodation and we’d be happy to help find a place!

5. Outside guests are limited to 2 without prior approval.

6. Please note that there are cattle grates preventing the cows from entering the area close to the home, but you may have to drive slowly if the herd is grazing along the entrance road, as there are no fences down there, and the cows tend to wander across the road right when you get close.

**Please ensure you read the house rules and comply before booking.**

Grandma's Ranch House
We love staying here. Home away from home. The panoramic views are beautiful! With dairy cows grazing closeby. We will continue to make this a family tradition.

So homey!
This is our 2nd time around and we are looking forward to a third. This a truly a home away from. Well-stocked and roomy. The kids enjoyed playing the piano and the full size pool table. And the views are jaw-dropping.

Just as described
We were a group of ten, ages 7-66. Visited Grandma’s Ranch for 7 nights at the end of July 2022. The house was perfect for our family gathering. It was an hour drive to get to Point Reyes Lighthouse, Armstrong Woods, and downtown (Fisherman’s wharf). About 25 minutes to get to nearby grocery store. We appreciated the rural and quiet surroundings. The pool was a hit with the kids. It was chilly even in the summer, but kids were brave enough, adults not so much.

Wonderful weekend
Hands down, a wonderful property! Great view, great location, spacious rooms, nice kitchen well stocked! The rooms and the communal hangout space are separated, which allowed those who want to rest, to do so without being disturbed. Highly recommended!
