Stays 🌈
Salmon Creek Farm is a 33 acre sanctuary of precious riparian and coastal redwood forest habitat, on Central Pomo land. In 1971 a commune was established during turbulent times by a group of young visionaries seeking less extractive and more intentional ways of living in what came to be known as Albion Nation. Now in the hands of the 501c3 Salmon Creek Arts, we imagine this sanctuary serving as a pocket of light, where you might journey to refuel for what it is we need to do on the planet.
We are offering cabin rentals between our arts workshop and school programs, with 1 to 2 week stays from May through August and 1 to 3 month stays from November through February. There is the possibility for both deep solitude - in private handcrafted iconic cozy cabins nestled among the coastal redwoods - and sociability with others sharing the land, and our wider community on California’s stunning Mendocino Coast. Read through to the end before requesting a stay...
Come with an intention for how you want to ‘spend’ your time, perhaps to take a step back for some critical distance from your daily life, a chance to create something new, a tranquil place to work remotely, or even a pause from projects and productivity altogether.

Cabins are reached by foot trails across 33 acres of south-facing coastal redwoods. Each occupies a unique secluded nook in our south-facing wooded slope. They are rustic (ie, a mouse may occasionally find it’s way in and something will need to be done) but they were lovingly built, rebuilt, repaired, furnished, and embellished by many hands over the years with scavenged and thrifted local materials.
Everyone on the land is in touch by group chat to announce meals, invite each other over, ask for help with something, organize an event, say “hey I’m going to town if anyone needs anything,” etc. The kitchen, dining room, and lounge at Dawn cabin; the OK (outdoor kitchen) and Dance Deck; along with the fruit orchard are open to communal use.
