Lindisfarne Guest House
The Lindisfarne Guest House is a distinctive octagonal building with twelve rooms on two floors surrounding a 30-foot skylit atrium. The atrium provides a relaxing skylit sitting area where guests often gather to read or sit with a cup of tea by the fire. The building is constructed in a traditional Japanese style and heated with a central wood-burning stove and passive solar system.
The guest rooms are simply yet comfortably furnished, with large windows opening onto landscaped grounds. Each pair of rooms shares a bathroom and there is a centrally located shower. A sauna with additional set of showers is available in a separate building. The guest house kitchen offers fresh baked bread and jams, as well as seasonal fruit, coffee and tea.
The Wheelwright Center
The Wheelwright Center has four guest rooms directly across from the dining room in the central area. Two of the rooms (A and B) may be combined into a suite. Room C is a small room with a private entrance and shared bathroom. Room D is equipped with its own shower and bathroom and is wheelchair accessible. These rooms are also available for families with children under 12 and the rooms tend to be a bit quieter than those in the Guest House.
The Middle Green Gulch and Upper Green Gulch trails are only accessible from the Coyote Ridge Trail and from Muir Beach. We are unable to offer day visitor parking at this time to hikers and others who are passing through Green Gulch. Please remain on the marked trails. Facilities are closed to the general public.
The Sunday Dharma talks continue to be offered in-person and via Zoom in our Online Zendo. San Francisco Zen Center also offers online programs and events as well as onsite and hybrid offerings.
