Very charming comfortable bungalows each with private entry and sliding glass door to outside, many with private hot tub, wifi, tv, mini fridge, dishes and cutlery, ice, bathrobes, quiet comfortable room with kitchenette, clean bathroom, decor and architecture a bit dated but that's part of the charm, large open nature space out back which you can walk to a bluff overlooking the ocean, spectacular place to see sunset. Communal hot tub and workout room, bbq grill and tools at each room. Very friendly staff who live on premises. Convenient store directly across the street for random needs and great sandwiches. Beautiful drive but road is a bit windy getting there from south, if you get carsick be aware. Very relaxing place to stay in this remote magical location. Bring your own toiletries, they provide tiny soap and shampoo.

They offer late arrival (after 6pm) self-check-in. I called and emailed to confirm the arrangement a few days before our stay. However, upon arrival, we found that they didn't leave our door open as they said they would. We had to wait outside of the hotel front office in the cold, dark night for the staff to come and open our door. They said they didn't leave our door open because my credit card on file didn't go through when they tried to run the charge before I arrived. Well, I booked this hotel six months in advance and the CC happened to be replaced during this time, but they didn't even bother to call/ email me. They just let us find it out in the hard way and wait anxiously to get into the room. We stayed for two nights, and there was no room cleaning after the first night. They didn't even bother to change our towels. We had to use the dirty towels for the second night. In addition, the building insulation was poor. The room gets very warm during the day and very cold during the night. What an unpleasant experience!

This is a beautiful location and our room was great. It feels a bit remote but the store and deli across the street has a good selection. We had deli sandwiches and sat outside. On the patio to eat them.

Okay for a Short Stay

Stayed at Fort Ross Lodge for a night — overall a peaceful and convenient spot right off Hwy 1. The room was clean but a bit dated, and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Still, it’s a nice place if you’re looking for a quiet stop along the coast.

This is the most over priced venue I have ever seen. Extremely dated. Not clean at all. My wife wouldn't even use the shower. This is evidence that anything can look good on the internet. Much much better options available in the same or lower price point.

Not much privacy and uncomfortable linens

The room was advertised as having an ocean view and while it did, it was an ocean view obstructed by the entire parking lot. At some point this view included a very tall sprinter van with its headlights on facing into our room. Additionally, to the poor view was a complete lack of privacy. The only choices for covering the sliding glass door, visible to the entire property, were blackout curtains. You could have privacy or you could have a view but you could not have both.

Fantastic little getaway...

We had to check in rather late and they were very accommodating- they even had a fire going in our room when we arrived which was very welcoming. The room was very clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. And of course, the location is incredible. What a view to wake up to!
