ARCHITECTURE

A Nod to Mod

An architectural nod to a founder of the midcentury Bay Modern style (who built the award-winning primary residence as his own) and intentionally designed to blend with the natural setting to provide a close connection to nature, Skylounge is minimal, mod, airy, and biophilic.

WEATHER

Must Love Nature

Fog

Sausalito ridge is coastal, so the fog can roll in anytime. In hotter months it often likes to hang around for awhile on top of the ridge. We love throwing on fleece and trekking around Marin’s version of the Scottish Highlands, especially when sun and sweltering temperatures are just a few minutes drive in any direction. We treasure sleeping under a pile of blankets with windows open to the cool, skin-friendly damp air even during statewide heatwaves. But our fog is not for everyone, and we want every guest to love their stay.

Wind

The ridge can get windy. Really windy. Even then, it may be calm on the trail just around the corner. Or vice versa.

Rain

California: drought or deluge. Enough said.

Wildlife

Our National Park is home to multiple wildlife species. Frequently encountered near Skylounge are myriad bird species including ravens & red shouldered hawks, who often rest or nest in our trees. Deer, coyotes, rabbits, bobcats and other critters visit as well.

Sun

The ridge sees plenty of beautiful clear days, when sometimes its hard to tell where the ocean meets the sky.

Just marvelous. Walking out the door, straight into the wild beauty of the Marin Headlands is something we will never forget.  And coming home to such comfort after hiking all day!

THE MAGNUSSENS, MINNESOTA

Every aspect of this sweet sanctuary accentuated the natural beauty of the Golden Coast. We learned so much from the book collection. We are already planning our next visit.
