The Sea Ranch Lodge

“A veritable temple of natural design in one of the most special areas of the most stunning coastline America has to offer. Conveniently only a few quick hours away from the largest tech hub in the world but might as well be in another universe. An incredible offsite location for nearly any team but particularly for those who leverage creativity (in the traditional sense) as part of their day to day responsibilities. Deeply inspiring setting both inside and out, a staff that 'gets it', fantastic food and spectacular grounds in case you need the space for some of your programming.”

“NorCal at it's finest! I'm a bit biased as I got married on the bluff overlooking the water at The Sea Ranch Lodge. My love for the place runs deep! Our wedding party stayed at the Lodge (which I think has been somewhat recently updated?) but all the guests rented cool and quirky houses at The Sea Ranch, an architectural utopia designed in the '60s "to respond to – and live in harmony with – the natural elements." Walking and biking trails, misty moody beaches with great tide pools, access to golf, tennis, and a community pool. Nearby redwood forests. Sheep meandering in the meadows. A short but epic Hwy 1 drive up to Mendocino. The list of fun active things to do goes on, though you might just want to hang on a deck watching the Pacific Ocean. March might also mean super-bloom wild flower action! A great time for a Northern California visit and a great place for an intergenerational birthday celebration. NB: Obviously SFO is easy to get to. The drive from SFO to The Sea Ranch is gorgeous with amazing places to stop along the way; some routes are a bit easier than others, but there are multiple options!”

“Delicious snacking, great wine, whales passing by. We probably come here once a month when we’re out adventuring.”
