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!

The resort was very nice, and the restaurant was very good, selling local oysters. The place is also very quiet. We had almost no interactions with staff and the check-in was through an envelope left for us at the closed office. The pool was closed and there is no hot tub. The place is very remote but great for exploring Point Reyes.

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
