The Sea Ranch Lodge

 

The Sea Ranch Lodge – Where Nature, Design, and Tranquility Meet.

The Sea Ranch was designed to respond to – and live in harmony with – the natural elements. The Sea Ranch Lodge, set in Sonoma County on 53 acres of dramatic Northern California coastline, built in 1968 and one of the oldest buildings in The Sea Ranch, the North Building has been completely reimagined and as of July 1st, offers 17 intimate guest rooms for a quiet, coastal escape that inspires guests to respond to – and live in harmony with – the natural elements. Following the complete restoration and revitalization of the Lodge’s public spaces in October 2021 and the debut of The Sea
Ranch Living home rental program in 2022, the opening of The Sea Ranch Lodge guest rooms marks the final phase of its multi-million-dollar reimagination.

The Sea Ranch Lodge’s South Building boasts a Dining Room, Solarium, Bar + Lounge, Café, and General Store all available for Sea Ranch guests and residents to enjoy. Travelers can explore the beauty of The Sea Ranch through a variety of leisure activities including self-guided nature walks with trails to Bihler Point or Black Point, tide pooling and picnic lunches at Black Point Beach, and strolls to the iconic Sea Ranch Chapel. The Lodge features residentially styled dedicated meeting, wedding, and celebration venues both inside, in courtyards, patios and on the bluffs.

The Sea Ranch Lodge is located in Sonoma County, 100 miles north of San Francisco within the larger 7,000-acre Sea Ranch community which consists of 2,224 private homes clustered at intervals marked by cypress hedgerows, sprawling meadows, rolling hills, redwood and Douglas fir forests and ocean views across 10 miles of the Pacific’s coastal shelf.

Testimonials

“The Sea Ranch Lodge in Sonoma offers a serene coastal retreat with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and rugged cliffs. The architecture blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a peaceful ambiance perfect for relaxation. The rooms are beautifully designed with minimalist, yet comfortable, decor, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle. The on-site restaurant serves fresh, locally sourced dishes, enhancing the overall experience. It’s also a great destination for weddings, with its stunning coastal backdrop providing the perfect setting for intimate, unforgettable ceremonies. Additionally, it's an ideal venue for off-site retreats, offering tranquility and seclusion for corporate events or wellness retreats. With its peaceful atmosphere and scenic surroundings, it’s the perfect spot to inspire creativity and reflection. However, the remote location might not be for those seeking urban amenities.” 551tashib (1.24.25)

“I am so grateful that The Sea Ranch Lodge bar and restaurant is here. As a part-time owner, it's such a wonderful part of the community and a great place to pop into: you can shop at the store, grab a coffee in the morning after a hike, and enjoy a wonderful meal in the bar / lounge and dining room. I've come here often since the reopening, but I had such a great experience tonight at the bar it reminded me to leave a review. Trace was my amazing server and bartender. All the staff that work at the lodge from the post office to the bar to the restaurant are incredibly lovely and make it a really special place that I feel fortunate to have in my community. The food, the beverage, the ambience is all on point, and the view is unsurpassable.” Alicyn Campbell (2.5.25)

“Long story short, my now wife and I had to find a new venue on short notice due to the road closing in Big Sur for our wedding. It was important to us to find a new venue for the same weekend to celebrate since we had people traveling from different parts of the country. After reaching out to 100 different venues we found Sea Ranch lodge was available for May 17th. We had never been to Sea Ranch but took a shot in the dark. Wow, we are so lucky to have had our wedding here. Everything was exceptional from the Sea Ranch Lodges our guest stayed at, to the venue and staff. It was truly a dream come true to have our wedding here and couldn't not have asked for anything better. Big thank you to Diane, Zach, Sarah, Erica, and the entire staff that help support our wedding. We had an amazing time! Also, our guests stayed at various Sea Ranch Living options and they were all fantastic. The coffee shop at Sea Ranch is also extremely good. We saw whales, sea lions, etc. This place is amazing for a vacation, not just a wedding. Rooms: Our guest stayed at 5 different Sea Ranch properties and all loved them. I stayed at the Tarp House and it's such a cool place. The design + comfort and views of the redwoods. Food & drinks: All catering provided, food at the dining room, and cafe were exceptionally good. Noteworthy details: This place in general is noteworthy but the coast line sells it.” David Radosh (5.24.24)

“This is one of the great Californian hotels. Fabulous views of the sea from all rooms, extremely high-end amenities, stunning food, and a cultural history second to none of this type. But set your expectations: this is not an entertainment-obsessed venue. Peace is prized above all. That said, it is also family-friendly, our kids (1 and 6) had an amazing time walking the trails, exploring the hotel, and eating great food. All staff, in all roles, were extremely friendly and helpful. For me, this is a very special place, inextricably linked to the cultural and environmental history of Northern California. If all of the above appeals to you, then I'm sure you'll have a five-star experience.” Tarik O'Regan (2.12.24)

History

Living lightly on the land
line drawing

"Because of reaching for a view, or because the wind needs to be blocked. Something about the environment has informed the geometry."

–Donlyn Lyndon, Architect

The visionary Al Boeke, architect, assembled a stellar group of architects and design professionals. For prototype buildings the architectural firm of Moore, Lyndon, Turnbull, and Whitaker was hired to design Condominium One along the bluffs and architect Joseph Esherick to design a cluster of houses nestled in a hedgerow. Lawrence Halprin, landscape architect, studied the topography, weather, and vegetation that inspired the original master plan. His vision was based largely on the historical and ecological community.

The original designers evolved a concept of dynamic conservation of 'living lightly on the land.' A covenant would enforce stewardship of natural resources through an owners’ association of residents who felt an instinctive relationship with the environment.

Meant to be experienced as much as to be spelled out, the concept of 'living lightly on the land' starts with respect for nature. Each landscape element should be recognized and nurtured, reinforcing natural forms and scale. The specific site provides the identity, establishing a 'territorial partnership' with any structure placed within it, not upon it. Building materials should be drawn from nature: rough and simple.
