Welcome to our majestic homestead nestled on 80 acres of pristine wilderness, up a private secluded road just outside of Ukiah. Situated off Highway 253 towards Booneville, our enchanting retreat offers a sanctuary for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
In the winter months, the landscape transforms into a winter wonderland, with streams, creeks, and waterfalls cascading through the lush forests. Lichen adorns the trees, while curious newts explore their surroundings. It's a magical time to reconnect with nature and marvel at the beauty of the season.
As the temperatures rise in the summer, our homestead comes alive with vibrant gardens bursting with vegetables and flowers, fruit trees in bloom, and a tranquil pond offers the perfect spot for a dip. Keep an eye out for the unique wild ponies that call this valley home, adding to the allure of the landscape.
Explore hiking trails that wind through the property, offering glimpses of wildlife and breathtaking vistas at every turn. Nearby rivers and creeks beckon for swimming, while the majestic redwoods and stunning coastline are just a short drive away.
Our dome, a true architectural gem, provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience for guests. With its remarkable acoustics, it's the perfect setting for yoga sessions, writing retreats, or simply soaking in the serenity of the surroundings. In the colder months, cozy up next to the wood stove and indulge in a hot bath while a pot of soup simmers on the stove.
Accessible via a well-maintained gravel and dirt road, our homestead offers a secluded escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Please note that AWD/4WD is required during the winter months to navigate the terrain safely.
Whether you're seeking solitude and reflection or adventure and exploration, our majestic homestead offers something for everyone. We invite you to experience the magic of our sanctuary and create memories that will last a lifetime. Welcome home.

Originally purchased in the late 60's by "Redwood and Savatri", Oz Farm was initially a commune of sorts and is no doubt a very special place...heck, its even got it's own comic book! Here you can pick your poison, as the property is comprised of 7 rustic cabins, redwood campsites, and geodesic domes that would make Buckminster Fuller proud. The working farm is comprised of over 230 accessible acres of flowing meadows, redwood groves, prime agriculture, and is intersected by the beautiful Garcia River, which flows into the mighty pacific. One thing that is very apparent, is how clearly passionate the community at Oz Farm is about ecology and agriculture. Once you step foot onto Oz Farm, you'll begin to understand why.
The property is open seasonally and frequently rented by full-camp retreats and events throughout the summer. Individual cabins open to rent one month in advance and are advertised through instagram @villageozfarm

Serene, beautiful dome on a west facing slope in the hills. Had a peaceful stay with my dog. Even though it was hot, Eli took care to provide fans, and it cooled down substantially at night. There’s an adorable full kitchen and clawfoot tub. The views are incredible!

What a lovely place, lovely host, lovely dog-host. Off grid, remote but close enough to the world, and the Dome itself is awesome. I could go on and use more superlatives but it's exactly what you want, just book it. we had our 10 year old, and our 2 dogs, who all truly enjoyed themselves (10 year old unplugged).

We had a great relaxing weekend, it was super hot but that didn't change anything with what this place offers. It was very peaceful, great night sky, loved the dog and the chickens. Nice trail on the property. Host Elias is kind and nice person, we had a great conversation and really appreciated his hospitality. We also took a day trip out to Mendocino. Overall great place to disconnect, and enjoy the peaceful nature.

Great stay, well off the beaten path. Eli is a warm and gracious host. We loved the peace and quiet of the dome and still having the creature comforts of home. It was also fun to go forage in the garden, hang out with the chickens, and see the wild ponies on the drive in.
A truly dog friendly place- Lulu is a very friendly girl and will love to play with your pup.

Nice location and friendly staff. The grounds and pool are nice very easy 5 minute walk to town. I would suggest they limit how some people play their music a little loud when it should be a more relaxing outdoor experience.

Such an amazing place! Eli was the most generous host! The land is mythical! Wild ponies! Waterfalls! Ancient trees! Meteors! Staying in a dome, and using all hand made ceramics, staring at the stars, passing fields of wild flowers, lots of love in this spot!

We had an amazing time camping at **El Cool Ranch Dome**! The drive there was awesome, and the place itself was fantastic—we loved the stunning views and all the great amenities. Having running water and hot showers was a huge plus! We took a peaceful walk to a nearby creek, which was so relaxing. Eli, the host, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The instructions provided were clear and covered everything we needed to know. We also visited **Muir Woods National Monument**, and it was absolutely breathtaking—a must-see! Thank you for such a wonderful experience; we can’t wait to come back soon!

Weekend Trip to EL EL Cool Ranch
We had a great time. This was a really great spot, with a fantastic view. It is pretty far out, so you need 4wd or AWD to get out there. Ideally, get there during the day bc the road in is rough and there are some guard dogs at the neighbor’s place that you have to try to not run over.
The Geodome is like a large tent. You should plan on it feeling like camping and dress and bring food to cook accordingly. It was pretty cold at night, and the fire didn’t really warm up the dome, so it’s good to just wear layers.
Elias was super helpful and nice. We came in late, and he left the gate open. He was away for the weekend, but replied to a text giving good advice on where to explore on the property.
We also got to meet Lulu, who is playful and very friendly if you have a pup of your own.

The dome was amazing! Eli Lulu, and Jess are all super nice and friendly. They have great recommendations of what to do nearby and are very accommodating. We ended up going on a little hike and hammering above the creek which was so relaxing. We went at the beginning of spring, so there wer plenty of daffodils And gorgeous tiny wild flowers everywhere. Really nice wineries nearby. The wood fire stove was also great and super cozy. The shelves are stocked with gorgeous handmade pottery. We ended up loving the mugs we used so much that we asked to buy them And ended up taking them home! Overall great trip and I ended up getting engaged there! Will be coming back!

Weekend Trip to EL EL Cool Ranch
We really enjoyed our stay in the dome! Beautiful views and very remote, so we felt disconnected from the city and just connected with nature. Perfect for a quiet and tranquil getaway, cozy time by the fire. Definitely need an all wheel drive car to get out there as it’s a ways off the main roads, but we did make it with our little Honda Civic. Very rocky though so wouldn’t recommend that. It was quite cold for us in November, the wood burning stove is lovely and does provide a lot of warmth but come prepared with lots of layers and warm socks!! Elias (and Lulu) was a lovely host, friendly and easy to chat with, I would stay again!

The dome is a magical experience. My partner and I came up with our dog for a weekend to escape into nature for a bit and the dome did not disappoint! It’s well suited with welcomed creature comforts - like running water, claw tub, stove, cooking pots/pans and wood fire oven. Oh, and also WiFi! But we did use that sparingly, opting to fully embrace the tranquility though I can see this being a great place to write or work creatively.
Dome aside, Eli the host was *phenomenal* - the kind of person that exudes warmth. Since we arrived in a down pour he met us half way on the dirt road to shuttle us the rest of the way in his truck. Eli also had a lot of knowledge of the area and we were grateful to him and Lulu the dog for always being smiling faces to greet us when we’d return from a day trip.
My one note for guests is now that it’s winter it’s chilly up there! Expect to bundle in the night time as the wood fire stove will only take you so far into the night before morning.
I highly recommend the dome to anyone looking for a bit of a getaway in nature while still having some welcomed creature comforts.
