Salmon Creek Farm was established as a commune in 1971 by a group of young visionaries seeking other ways of living during turbulent times. Now in the hands of Salmon Creek Arts, we offer weekly or monthly cabin stays between our workshop and school programs. This private sanctuary space offers a daily life close to the land as a part of our wider community on the stunning Mendocino Coast. There is the possibility for both deep solitude - in private handcrafted iconic cozy cabins nestled among the coastal redwoods - and engagement with others sharing the land, often leading to long term connections, and to our ever expanding circles out in the world. Read through to the end before requesting to schedule stays by the MONTH (at Rainbow, Moonlight, Walden, River, & Salmon cabins) or the WEEK (at Cedar).



Come with an intention for how you want to β€˜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 were lovingly built, rebuilt, repaired, furnished, and embellished by many hands over the years with scavenged local materials.

Once on the land we put everyone on a whatsapp party line to be directly in touch with each other, to announce meals, invite each other over, ask for help with something, organize an event, say β€œhey I’m going to town if anyone needs anything,” etc.

The communal kitchen, dining room, and lounge at Dawn cabin are available for community use from 11am to 9pm daily. Monthly residents also have full use of the vegetable gardens and fruit orchard while contributing 2 hrs/wk to commune life: stocking pantry, tending compost, weeding gardens, orienting new guests, or chopping firewood.
