About lodge at Marconi
RECORDED TRANSMISSIONS
Lodge at Marconi has a rich history as a landmark of the destination; the property was originally built in 1914 as a radio receiving station by Guglielmo Marconi, often credited as the “inventor of radio.”
In the early 1960s, a rehabilitation facility known as Synanon took over the site, eventually becoming an infamous “alternative lifestyle community” that eventually dissolved. In recent years, it primarily served as a site for non profit and corporate retreats, conferences, and weddings.
Its location within Tomales Bay showcases the natural beauty of the West Marin coastline. The region is best known for its abundance of outdoor pursuits, vineyards, creameries, and oyster farms. It is conveniently located only an hour away from San Francisco and mere miles east of the extraordinary Point Reyes National Seashore.
