Beautiful, quiet, and perfectly located. My room had a bay view and a fireplace, with outdoor seating to enjoy the peaceful evenings. It’s family‑ and pet‑friendly, close to markets and restaurants, and only about 30 minutes from Point Reyes Lighthouse. Just note that many places nearby close early. A great stay.

Extremely clean and beautiful rooms located on a wonderful property right on the water. Can be very romantic for two or even if you bring your children there's plenty to do.

This property is in a great location. The room was spacious and accommodating but needs upgrading. It is quite dated but a good value for the price we paid.

Perfect and peaceful! Ideally located on the water and close to so many beautiful hikes. Nice kayaking guide on site who knows a lot and tells great stories with true love of the water and bioluminescent plankton. Our room was spacious and comfortable, surrounded by greenery and hummingbirds, and contained everything we needed :)

Let's put it this way...you're not staying here for the room. You're staying here because it's on the water...rooms are dated so expect that and all is good.
