    This review is long overdue. This is our second stay at this magical place! We found it on a whim when looking for a place to stay for our Anniversary 2 nights turned into 3. We were looking for a beautiful location, off the beaten path, that was dog friendly as we travel with our new rescue puppy. Along came the Wharf Masters Inn. From the moment we arrived the breathtaking view and location had us hooked but meeting Karen had us completely SOLD! The entire stay was amazing and we loved it so much we extended another night and already started planning our next trip there! The staff goes above and beyond! Fast forward to my Birthday out 3 nights turned into 5 and we truly didn't want to come home. Karen, Shar and Cliff make you feel like family and we truly consider them our family now! As always Karen went above and beyond to make our stay so spectacular, relaxing and memorable. From the room service, the wave lounge and even wine tasting on the premises what more could you ask for! This is now our home away from home and we cannot wait to comeback! If you are looking for a beautiful location that is away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a beautiful inn, amazing rooms, and out of this world service then look no further. I would love to keep this place our little secret but I cannot help but also want to shout how amazing it is from the rooftops! Karen, Cliff, Shar and Team we can't wait to comeback back "Home" we love you all!!

    Great view from room 121, tub in-room. The bed was comfortable. The person helping us at the front desk was super friendly and funny. Would stay again when in the area.

    One month ago, we suddenly realized we didn't have family coming for Thanksgiving, so I started trying to find somewhere for three of us (me, hubby and mom) to spend the weekend. We love the NorCal coast, and I cast my net wide because I knew there wouldn't be much available. The Wharf Master's Inn popped up, with the Wharf Master's house - two bedrooms, one bath, small kitchen, living room and private deck - in our price range. We dig Point Arena, so it seemed like kismet. We arrived on Thanksgiving day, in the afternoon. The staff was fantastic at every turn, especially the innkeeper Karen (owner, host with the most, wearer of all hats!) and her front desk associate Vanita (with all the Southern charm). Cleanliness, good beds, abundant towels, quality linens and rocking chairs on the private deck for our beautiful view of the ocean were part of our perfect experience. I pre-booked Thanksgiving dinner at Wharf Master's Wave Lounge, it was delicious. Happy hour snacks on Friday and light breakfast offerings in the morning were nice bonuses. There are many stairs in the Wharf Master's house and all around the property, between that and many walks down to the wharf and back, we definitely got a workout with our vacation! If you're looking for a hotel getaway with personalized service and boutique feel, this is the place to go.

    Amazing views from this Inn. Owner and staff are so friendly and helpful. Restaurant and a pizza place within walking distance. If you're unable to climb a lot of stairs this isn't the place for you but we loved it and will be back!

    Beautiful ocean views, great ambiance, wonderful and informative hostess. Lots of great adventures up and down the coast...or just take the private trail right up the bluff from your room to access miles of hiking trails with beautiful sweeping ocean views. The house made gumbo was the best we've had! Very romantic and peaceful setting. A definite return!

    MIMOSAS with your breakfast

    Mrs Karen and Mr Cliff have a wonderful serene and beautiful Gem to share with everyone if you want to be relaxed and pampered and at peace pleeeaasseee visit this wonderment of a place good people good vibes good food and spectacular views

    This stay was utterly fantastic. I desperately needed a chill place to get away and focus on school work without losing my mind. The serenity at this inn was seriously off the charts. Karen, the owner, made sure we had everything we needed, and then some. I even scored some retail therapy in the lobby merch, because, priorities. Our room was clean and comfy, and the jacuzzi tub was pure bliss. The bed was super comfy, but a little creaky, which was kinda funny. The view was gorgeous, and the weather was nice and cool, just what I needed. They served an amazing cup of coffee, along with a yogurt bar, croissants, and fresh fruit for breakfast, because, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. There were also DVDs and board games to spend some quality time with your Peeps, and even lawn games in the courtyard, because, why not? We'll definitely be back, and next time, we're bringing our A-game for those lawn games! Hoping next time it's warm enough for Tilly to be out showin off her beautiful self

    A perfect location! This was a quick overnight getaway for us from Marin County. Our first time staying at Wharf Master's Inn, but definitely not our last. We stayed in Room 123, the furthest out, closest to the ocean. Nothing like sleeping and having the waves lull you to sleep. The room as immaculate, tidy and nicely decorated. Everything you need, fridge, wine glasses and a deck with beautiful views. The weather was perfect this weekend. We couldn't have asked for a better time. Karen was especially lovely to speak with as she showed us around the property. I'd love to sit around the fire pit with Karen and enjoy a glass of wine. This is a not to be missed destination. You will thank me

I can't really compare this to any other experience I've had. Sidenote, there is outstanding Wi-Fi across the whole property, and my phone's 5G also did well (t-mobile). The grounds and various group rooms, the kitchen and food prep, all of this is personally handled by the diligent and caring staff. The thing they call cabins -- not really the name I would use, I dislike cabins, but this room was terrific. simple, but excellent bedding.

    5 Stars - A True Sanctuary in Nature…read more The property is absolutely breathtaking, like stepping into a portal. From the lush, vibrant garden (hands down the most beautiful I've ever seen) to the peaceful meadows filled with wild deer and turkeys roaming freely, every inch of this place radiates natural beauty and serenity. My partner and I came here to unwind, and we left feeling deeply nourished, inspired, and recharged. We had some profound creative breakthroughs during our stay, and were finally able to get the kind of rest our bodies and minds were craving. Our dogs were in absolute heaven too, especially swimming in the river nearby! But what made this place truly unforgettable was the people. The hosts are warm, genuine, and full of heart. You can feel how much love and intention has been poured into this land and community. It felt like we were welcomed into a sacred little sanctuary, and we're already dreaming of our next visit. If you're looking for a healing, grounding, soul-expanding getaway, this is it. Thank you to everyone at The Land for creating such a special space. We'll be back soon.
