Excellent staff
We loved our overnight stay at Fort Ross Lodge during our ride up the coast. Josh was such a personable and kind host. The views were lovely and we especially enjoyed morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs facing the water and a couple soaks in the hot tub on our patio. We had a tasty breakfast Sammie from the lodge shop. Timber Cove resort just one mile north was lovely for a burger and live music. Would love to return!

Great setting and service. Some of the property appears to be under some ongoing and needed repairs but it didnt impair our use of the room. Will stay here again.
This is a beautiful location and our room was great. It feels a bit remote but the store and deli across the street has a good selection. We had deli sandwiches and sat outside. On the patio to eat them.
Nice quiet and secluded get away definitely would recommend if youre wanting to get some peace and rest and unplug from the rest of the world.

Okay for a Short Stay
Stayed at Fort Ross Lodge for a night — overall a peaceful and convenient spot right off Hwy 1. The room was clean but a bit dated, and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Still, it’s a nice place if you’re looking for a quiet stop along the coast.
We had to check in rather late and they were very accommodating- they even had a fire going in our room when we arrived which was very welcoming. The room was very clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. And of course, the location is incredible. What a view to wake up to!

Just needs a little TLC. For $300 especially.
A sink would be great since there are dishes. Cute place. Nice views♥️
This is a great hotel in the coastal wilderness off the Northern California coast . The suite room with jacuzzi over ocean view is highly recommended . The fireplace and free wood nightly may be a nice feature on colder nights .
