We grabbed continental breakfast in the Wave Lounge, which was such a nice, easy start to the day - I especially loved the yogurt ;) We stayed in the Spectacular Lookout Room 120 and the ocean view was honestly incredible!! Waking up to that alone was worth it. I did not want to leave haha The Owners Karen and Clif were so kind and welcoming :) such great hosts. You can tell they really care about the place and their guests. We are already making plans for our next visit! This is my new favorite place to stay on the coast.

You can chill with the lighthouse cat or explore with flashlights under the moon. During our stay we went to the top of the lighthouse many times.. it's a quite few steps but worth it! The gift shop is also cool! We went home with a shirt and a magnet. Although the need for this lighthouse is no longer, it still works and is magnificent as is the whole park! Complete with rocky cliffs and a labyrinth by the sea.

I've been coming to Sea Ranch for years, yet I had never heard of Stone Ranch until recently. A…read morefriend invited me to their First Sunday of the Month public tour, and I left in awe.

Gary and Dolores were a joy to work with and we appreciated the extra effort they both took to familiarize us and our vendors with the property. We felt extra, extra grateful to have had the opportunity to stay onsite for our wedding and enjoyed the beautiful accommodations, kitchen, and access to our wedding! The extra special opportunity to spend more time with our families at Switzer will be cherished forever.

He has meticulously restored the place -- the furniture and light fixtures are truly wonderful. The grounds are beautiful -- Gary and his team have lovingly landscaped everything on the grounds; there's brand-new NFL-grade-grass for the reception area, and I can't think of a better spot to get married than on the grassy area overlooking the ocean. Gary is so quick to answer questions -- incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed working with him.

The thing they call cabins -- not really the name I would use, I dislike cabins, but this room was terrific. simple, but excellent bedding.

From the lush, vibrant garden (hands down the most beautiful I've ever seen) to the peaceful meadows filled with wild deer and turkeys roaming freely, every inch of this place radiates natural beauty and serenity. My partner and I came here to unwind, and we left feeling deeply nourished, inspired, and recharged. We had some profound creative breakthroughs during our stay, and were finally able to get the kind of rest our bodies and minds were craving. Our dogs were in absolute heaven too, especially swimming in the river nearby! But what made this place truly unforgettable was the people. The hosts are warm, genuine, and full of heart. You can feel how much love and intention has been poured into this land and community. It felt like we were welcomed into a sacred little sanctuary, and we're already dreaming of our next visit. If you're looking for a healing, grounding, soul-expanding getaway, this is it. Thank you to everyone at The Land for creating such a special space. We'll be back soon.

We decide to try it out. We get there and we are the only customers. Not sure if there is any seating in the inside but we grabbed a table outside to enjoy the views. A guy came out and gave us the tasting menu which is three pre chosen wines for $20. We do the tasting and was incredibly underwhelming. They poured the wine and that was it. No education or description provided. We did the tastings and left. At the end of the day, it was a bit of a waste of time.

The garden is 47 acres, but it feels a lot larger. There are various trails to the ocean as well as a creek with lots of shade and greenery. Containing a maze of paths and vibrant colors, this place brought me a lot of balance and Zen as I walked around and explored. The dahlia garden was spectacular; it was filled with many different colors, shapes and sizes of dahlias. I think the technical name for some of the styles were cactus, ball, and pom pom. There aren't a lot dahlia gardens around so for people that are really into flowers it's worth trekking up here. I liked the Heather garden as well, I don't think I've ever seen one. Rose gardens are usually my favorite but the one here was more minimal and catered to being more rustic rather than manicured. I think the Dahlia garden was the most impressive part.
