About this property

Point Arena Lighthouse - Bookkeeper's Room

The 156 year old Light Station is a 23 acre gem on the rugged and remote Mendocino Coast in Northern California. Home to the 115' tall Lighthouse Tower, 1896 Fog Signal Building Museum and Light Station Store and our 7 vacation cottages and studios. Surrounded on 3 sides by the Pacific Ocean and on the 4th by the Point Arena-Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument, the Light Station offers the most unique lodging option on the Mendocino Coast. Watch for migrating gray and humpback whales, enjoy the resident harbor seals bobbing in the water, watch the various seabirds fly by and marvel at the ever changing skies, waves and views. Stay with us and you will get unlimited access to the Indoor and Outdoor Museums and Tower Tours up the tallest Lighthouse on the Pacific Coast. Make us your base of operations for exploring the many fascinating and unique sites nearby.
Our newest vacation cottage, the Bookkeeper's Room, is a beautifully finished and furnished studio perfect for that romantic getaway. In its standard configuration guests will enjoy a memory foam King size bed with views of the Lighthouse Tower and Fog Signal Building from the front door and bedroom windows. It can also be configured to accommodate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guests. The tastefully decorated unit provides guests with a mini-fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker and 55" flat screen TV with DishTV service. Enjoy the warmth of the radiant heat flooring in the bedroom and bathroom and the beautifully tiled bathroom with large roll in shower.
