Reconnect with nature, learn homesteading skills, and unwind by the river—just minutes from Montgomery Woods and an hour from the majestic Mendocino Coast. Welcome to Marggie’s Sanctuary Farm, a peaceful off-grid homestead nestled in the Redwood Forest along the upper fork of Big River in Northern California. Surrounded by swimming holes, hiking trails, and wild beauty, this special land is an invitation to slow down, get your hands in the soil, and learn the timeless rhythms of nature. We are an off-grid homestead about 15~20 minutes out of service range. No cell phone reception makes space for deep relaxation and presence amongst the sights and sounds of the forest. Wake up to birdsongs, goats calling, and fresh country air. Our farm is very dark at night, which means the stargazing is otherworldy. With that said, please come prepared with headlamps or flashlights to safely find your way around after dark. No candles or open flames are permitted on the property. Here at Sanctuary Farm you will find an array of campsites from private cozy cabins, to tent spots nestled among the trees. Fun activities nearby include: -Montgomery Redwoods State Park -Orr Hot Springs (Be sure to book a day pass in advance!) -Mendocino Coast (1 hour away) Marggie has over 60 years of farming and gardening experience—and she loves to share it! Guests can seasonally explore: -Lush gardens and fruit orchards -Friendly goats, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats (plus the occasional wild visitor!) -Hands-on opportunities to milk goats, make cheese, gather eggs (Spring-Fall) Learn & Create Want to take home more than memories?

Dawn is a small, rustic cabin tucked quietly among the towering redwoods. A short walk through the trees brings you to its weathered wooden door - no frills, no noise, just a peaceful place to rest.

Sanctuary Cabin in the Redwoods

Riverside Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay, Sanctuary Farm is a magical place! The Riverside Cabin is a sanctuary in itself and the host is wonderful. We really enjoyed meeting all her sweet animal friends and had the most relaxing time. It’s really great that it’s so close to Orr Hot Springs as well. Thank you Marggie for everything 🙏 We hope to come back soon!
