The word resort if misleading for 2025. Perhaps back in 1950 it was considered a resort for its time. Not only is the decor dated, so is the plumbing (low inefficient water pressure) as are the amenities. For example, when we asked for an iron, there was none available to us. Which was unfortunate considering you'd expect more from a "resort." The pillows were so flat and most of the windows did not open making the room warm and stuffy. The shampoo/conditioner could've been from the dollar tree for all I know. Which isn't why you visit but gives you an idea of the lack on forethought in providing a cozy experience. This is the 3rd time we've stayed here, each room unique and never as disappointing as this most recent time. Which is unfortunate because the staff are wonderful and accommodating. But it does not compare to the slapped on paint to make this place appear up to the times.

Great getaway spot. If you are visiting Point Reyes National Seashore, this is the best option for lodging. It’s close to all the interest points in the park, good access to the water spots like kayaking or paddle boarding. Very quiet. Our room is right on the water. When looking out from the room, it’s almost if we are looking out of the balcony on a cruise.

The accommodations were awesome! There are more options for 5 star resorts, but this one was AMAZING!!!! A quaint/modest room, but people are friendly, the view amazing, the outdoor accommodations great! Staff was wonderful, friendly and always willing to help. I would recommend any day of the week. We plan on going back!

False advertising: No stove/oven. When we settled in we saw a note from mgt saying the stove/oven didn’t work. What?? We wouldn’t have paid that amount, nor stayed there if we had known that upon booking. There weren’t walkable places to eat and we were very disappointed to not be able to prepare the food we brought to cook.
