"I wish I did a little more research before booking. This lodge used to be a hostel and still seems more like a hostel than lodge. It would be perfect if I wasn’t traveling with a toddler who wants to get into everything. Location is about a five minute drive from the beach. We saw a ton of deer. It’s a little ways to the shipwreck and lighthouse. Great for trail access.
Overall, if you’re traveling with small children or folks who overheat easily, maybe not the best place. If you need a base...

Bring binoculars to spot seals and whales from this windswept beach where surfers catch waves year-round. Rent kayaks to explore the coastline or drive to nearby Point Reyes for hiking trails with spectacular ocean views.
This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here. We appreciate the friendly staff. We also enjoy the full breakfast and the snacks that are provided. S’mores by the fire are a fun extra. I hope we can stay here again!

So the Inn and receptionists, waitstaff fine dining restaurant were great. Food was phenomenal too. But the majority of the staff at the restaurant across the street were cold, unfriendly and a bunch of prudes. I politely asked one of the waiters if i could sit at the bar and he said “Well can you? Like physically. Go see the hostess she needs to do a headcount.” I go see the hostess and she was like hmm 1 person not sure let me see. Made a face and spoke to her colleague.

I was in room 12. Loved the deck and the view of the harbour. The town rolls up the sidewalks at 8, so very quiet at nite. Could hear the roar of the surf and sea lions barking at night. Friendly staff, good mattress, clean room. I will definately stay again. Only thing I would change is to have a mini fridge in the room.

My husband and I had a brief one night stay but the location is great (very close to many restaurants and shops), the room was clean and comfortable, check in was quick and easy, and the complimentary breakfast was a great perk!

This is a great hotel if you like to stay someplace without paying for the "extras" of a modern hotel stay. They have coffee in the hall, hot showers and heaters if it's cold. No AC (although rarely needed), blow dryer, iron or continental breakfast. Perfect for simple travelers, but not for those who need pampering.

The room was clean and comfortable. There is a shared kitchen with a full size fridge, microwave and coffee/hot chocolate/tea. Also a vending machine with oatmeal, cup of noodles and a variety of snacks. There was no fitness center or jacuzzi but we enjoyed hiking in the area to the beaches and tide pools. There were many nice restaurants to choose from with delicious seafood. A free bottle of wine was included in our stay. We enjoyed our time there!

We spent a few nights for a weekend escape with our dog from San Francisco.
The location is ideal for exploring the wineries in Sonoma and Healdsburg by car.
The staff was extremely welcoming, and the property was clean and exactly what we were looking for during our brief staycation.
There are food options and a casino nearby.
I highly recommend this place for families, couples, and pet owners.
