Ralston White Retreat

Imagine sipping a frosty glass of sweet tea as you sit on a deck overlooking stretches of rolling hills, lush redwood trees, and exquisite views of the San Francisco Bay. Picture greeting the day with an early morning hike, playing croquet on an idyllic lawn, and retiring to a charming and comfortable room-your home away from home. Nestled among the peaks of grandiose Mt. Tampalpais stands the historic Ralston Retreat, lovingly dubbed “the best kept secret in Mill Valley” by our community. Built in 1913, as a wedding gift, the 14,000 square foot mansion has three stories, nine relaxing porches and balconies with spectacular views and beautiful furnishings throughout. True to our charter, we host a wide range of group retreats and special events that are educational, spiritual, and charitable in nature. A stone’s throw away from beautiful Muir Woods and a mere hop and a skip away from neighboring Sausalito and San Francisco, the Ralston White Retreat is the perfect getaway destination as it is close enough to tourist attractions that draw people here from all over the world, yet being tucked among the peaks of Mount Tampalpais, it feels miles away. Whether you wish to find that special place to tie the knot, celebrate milestones, create long lasting family memories, or escape from the doldrums of daily modern life with your partner on a romantic getaway, join us for a comfortable and relaxing stay! Or if your needs lean more towards a professional nature, the Ralston White Retreat is a fantastic place to build business relationships, strengthen community bonds, and raise awareness on pertinent issues. We look forward to taking care of you!
