Had a nice room with a partial view of the Pacific Ocean, and could see & hear the waves crashing on the rocky beach. Very relaxing and peaceful. Definitely will consider staying here again.

My husband and I enjoyed meeting Karen, the owner, when we checked in. She renovated the property and she did such a nice job, from the cozy rooms, to the landscaping and finally to the Continental Breakfast which included fresh fruit , bagels and cream cheese, biscotti for your coffee. When I’m in the area again, I’m staying here.

Karen and Cliff and Gina were very welcoming, kind, and set the tone for a relaxation, peaceful get away. Karen’s room service was prepared tastefully and thoughtfully. Cliff was everywhere around that property keeping the outside looking tranquil and friendly. Gina was very personal and accommodating. There is not much to do around the Point Arena area, but staying here, we weren’t in a hurry to do anything other than walk, listen to and watch nature, and enjoy the comforts of our lovely spacious room and patio. It was a perfect spot to just breathe and get away!
