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.

All other items (floss, sanitary napkins, cleaning wipes, etc.) go into the trash can provided. Also note this is a rural location and a nature sanctuary, and for our many guests with pets, we don't use much poison, so those with zero bug tolerance should perhaps avoid this wooded bucolic acre.

Summary: This is a gem in the jungle if you enjoy outdoors n don’t mind tiny cozy little space. It probably started with excellent design at first n overtime lack of maintenance. It left quite a few spots unfinished. Some walls had wood pieces cut out n looked like ready for some decorative tiles to be placed. The wall mirror had a missing corner etc. The place is clean though n the little fireplace is good enough to warm up the room. The kitchen is tiny but is equipped with all the spices, cooking oil n vinegar, pots n pans for light cooking. It even has an expresso pour over machine n a table top Melita drip dispenser for making coffee. It would be nice to have a good working sink strainer if no garbage disposal, and more luxury to have a portable dishwasher to keep the dishes clean. I did my best to hand clean the dishes n enjoyed reorganizing them better on the rack. However the tiny bathroom is the worst part of the place n definitely needs immediate fix ups. The hot water supply is insufficient that my shower became cold towards the end on both nights. The hot n cold water switches were loose n the shower head was missing. There’s a door casually painted as back wall but it doesn’t fit as a permanent solution plus its lock was worn or broken to the yard n bad for safety. It also has an odor either from toilet or drainage that needs to be flushed well with sanitizer or bleach. We come to this area often n this time we had a different experience other than staying in a hotel.
