The hotel is situated in a lovely location. Rooms were nice and clean. There was a slight odor, but being so close to the water it not surprising with humidity. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff very pleasant.

Beautiful, quiet, and perfectly located. My room had a bay view and a fireplace, with outdoor seating to enjoy the peaceful evenings. It’s family‑ and pet‑friendly, close to markets and restaurants, and only about 30 minutes from Point Reyes Lighthouse. Just note that many places nearby close early. A great stay.

We had a nice clean room with a view of Tomales Bay. It was quiet which is good. There is a nice pool and beach and kayaks. It was not inexpensive for what it is but we would go there again.

Perfect and peaceful! Ideally located on the water and close to so many beautiful hikes. Nice kayaking guide on site who knows a lot and tells great stories with true love of the water and bioluminescent plankton. Our room was spacious and comfortable, surrounded by greenery and hummingbirds, and contained everything we needed :)
