Item Description
Lasso a friend and head out to Point Reyes National Seashore for a two-hour horseback ride with Five Brooks Ranch, then stay overnight mid-week at Inn at Roundstone Farm and enjoy a $25 gift certificate from Marin Sun Farms' Point Reyes Station restaurant and butcher shop.
Just a 10-minute drive down Olema Valley from park headquarters, Five Brooks Ranch offers a full service riding stable with activities for all ages and skill levels. They specialize in providing guided trail rides for park visitors who desire an alternative method to enjoy the scenic splendor of the park.
The Inn at Roundstone Farm was built in 1987 by the family that still owns the inn. Connemaras and Arabian horses are raised on the land that surrounds the inn. The farm itself is named for the village of Roundstone in the Connemara district of western Ireland, where Connemaras first lived as wild ponies.
Innkeepers Frank Borodic and Karen Anderson share a passion for the inn that began with a timeless vision. "My mom purchased this land and later built the inn," Karen explains. "She wanted to create a place that welcomes all people - a healing and energizing inn that would far outlive her...and it has."
Breakfast is a special event at the Inn at Roundstone Farm: Frank Borodic is most often the morning chef. Skillful in the culinary arts, he prepares a full country breakfast each morning. Fresh fruit, juices, homemade breads and egg dishes are specially made from the freshest ingredients and presented with a natural sense of style.
David Evans founded Marin Sun Farms in 1999 as an extension of his upbringing on his family’s cattle ranch in the Point Reyes National Seashore and has grown the company to be a gateway to market for many small farms raising livestock under the stringent protocol and values the company was founded on.
