Charming Rural Historic Schoolhouse

Located amid western Sonoma County's rolling hills — just slightly inland from the coast — the off-the-beaten-track village of Valley Ford blends country hospitality with culinary and artistic sophistication. The surrounding land has long been home to farms and ranches, with sweeping vistas that include beautiful old barns and plenty of grazing cows. It is within 20 minutes from Dillon Beach, Tomales, Bodega Bay, Sebastopol and Petaluma. 40 minutes to the Russian River.

Our space is a 2,300 sq ft one-room schoolhouse built in the early 1900s. It has a rural and rustic charm with big windows, weathered hardwood floors, a kitchen and bar, 2 restrooms with multiple stalls, and a large back lot overlooking the rolling hills and estuary of the Estero Americano. Open floor plan. Original wooden seating benches, folding wood and metal chairs, and collapsible 6 and 8 foot tables are included with the rental. No beds, showers or cots. You can use your imagination for sleeping arrangements. You also get use of the land behind the building if you prefer to sleep out doors.

There's so much to do in this area, hike, horseback ride, dine, paddle, surf, eat, drink, and shop.
