Dogs are welcome

Your dog stays for free!

We are the only inn in West Marin that welcomes any dog for no additional charge. Our only rule is please keep them off the beds.


A great picture of Bijou running through our back yard. Photo from Zann Gates and Jeff Roush and Bijou, who emailed:
"Thank you again for a WONDERFUL special mushroom evening and overnight stay!"


This is Tucker a "Golden Doodle" from Los Altos. This was his second visit to the inn and a big hit with all the guests on Valentines Day.


Tasha, a black lab., brought his owners, Tom and Beth Slate to our inn. They were visiting from Pleasant Hill celebrating their 11 year anniversary.


The back yard is fenced and we are happy to see Tasha and your dog running free (please take care of the poop thing!)


Meet Fred, our own 15 year old pug.

She belongs to the inn keeper and will often make an appearance at breakfast. Her favorite food is carrots (really).

She met the prince and princess when they were in town.

The State of California won't let dogs in the restaurant, so either leave them in the room or put them in the back yard during dinner.

Great to see the dog pics - (especially of our Bijou girl!) I really would recommend The Olema Inn to any responsible dog owner - we've traveled a lot with our dog and this place is tops! -Zann Gates, Davis, CA

Our Chef de Cuisine


Edward Vigil

During his college years, Ed worked at Scalo Northern Italian Grill and Il Vincino in New Mexico. It was here that he learned to cook Mediterranean food, which may explain the Mediterranean sensibility of his cuisine today.

Post-college, Vigil moved to California for formal culinary training; he graduated from the San Francisco Culinary Academy.

While at the Culinary Academy, Vigil worked under Chef Melinda Randolph at 2223 Market in San Francisco. Starting as a line cook, he soon became roundsman.

Today, many of Vigil's signature dishes harken back to his post-Academy work under Chef John Caputo of Socca Restaurant in San Francisco. Vigil credits Chef Caputo for filling him with desire to "do everything the hard way."

In 1998, Ed worked at the Pine Cone Diner in Point Reyes Station. Folks often waited for over an hour to get one of the 15 seats in the diner and more importantly, dinner from Chef Vigil.

Vigil joined The Olema Inn & Restaurant in 2001. He began as Sous Chef, and within six months, secured his position as Chef de Cuisine. The restaurant has evolved deliciously under Vigil's supervision.
