We only stayed one night on our way from SF to Mendocino, but really enjoyed our stay. We appreciated how clean and comfortable the room was, the beautiful grounds and view, the amenities (real Keurig and not a cheap knock-off — yay!!), and friendly staff. This place is a hidden gem that’s very close to Point Reyes!

Rooms are cozy and clean, staff was helpful and professional. Check in and out was easy. Very good place to stay if planning on hiking around Tomales Bay, short drive to Point Reyes Station, where there are a few restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. Loved staying here and getting up early to see the sunrise over the bay. Would stay here again!

Overall a mid. The location is excellent for visiting Point Reyes National seashore. The property is old and basic. Generally clean and staff was ok. Nothing to really complain about, and nothing to rave about.

Not a “Five Star Resort” but earned 5 stars from me. Counter staff were friendly and helpful, rooms were basic but very clean and cozy. Great views, pool was nice. Didn’t try the restaurant onsite but locals recommended it. Just beware, if you’re staying during the week, almost all local restaurants close by 8pm, so factor that into your day plans. Great easy access to Point Reyes Park
