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.

The resort customer service and grounds were great. I would categorize our room as rustic, clean and quaint. Sound carried thru walls and floors from neighboring rooms. They weren’t being obnoxious; it was just sound transmission. Overall, very nice little place. Would come again

Great getaway spot. If you are visiting Point Reyes National Seashore, this is the best option for lodging. It’s close to all the interest points in the park, good access to the water spots like kayaking or paddle boarding. Very quiet. Our room is right on the water. When looking out from the room, it’s almost if we are looking out of the balcony on a cruise.

Cute little inn on the water!

Beautiful area and the hotel was very conveniently located, right on the water! Our room was great and had a view of the bay. Room was very clean and had all the necessities! Bed was comfy, but could’ve had better pillows. Overall would definitely stay again!
