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.

Very reasonable price and nice to have a dock and small beach along the Tamales Bay to enjoy. Our room had a nice view, too. Very close driving distances to Point Reyes attractions. The walls are a little thin and walking from beginning neighboring rooms can be heard, but room was very comfortable. Staff was very helpful. I would stay again!
