Absolutely not…read more The house was cool but could use some TLC, WiFi was terrible (didn't work in the empire suite at all) no AC had a box fan though. Yes it's an old house but for the price it should have at least a little luxury. Breakfast was fine and the staff when around was nice.

The people here were the most amazing part of our visit. They were so warm and friendly and authentic. And so accommodating- we stopped in with short notice and they put us up, when we sat at the bar and asked for some cards they found some for us, and the cocktails were amazing. We absolutely loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. And this place feels very safe - the Inn, the people, the town - I felt perfectly safe going to my car at night after dark to fetch a couple things. Great location for female travelers.

It has wonderful natural light in the front. We stayed four nights, and enjoyed it. The continental breakfast is very light; we ended up eating at the Buttercup Cafe most mornings.

In the mornings the breakfasts were excellent. One morning was two quiches and the next blackberry bread pudding. Both served with fresh fruit and excellent coffee. The fruit and eggs are from the chef's farm and we even came home with a dozen of her eggs. She and the food were a delight. Finally the hosts were welcoming and warm. They are trying hard to restore the place to it's former glory. I can't imagine it is easy especially when a storm last year took out their huge redwood tree. But it doesn't take away from the glory of the stay.

The place really needs some renovations. Peeling paint and loose boards need attention. The outside grounds are in disrepair. The room was nice The complimentary breakfast was a huge disappointment.

Whoa, this place is AMAZING! My wife and I stayed here while hiking the Redwoods and taking a day…read moretrip up to Oregon. This place is beautiful. Upon arrival we were greeted by our innkeeper for the night and a snack plate that included cheese, crackers, dried fruit, nuts, and salmon was ready for us to take up to our room. This snack plate is prepared everyday. The room was very comfortable and we loved the attention to detail. We stayed in the Egret room and we had plenty of space. The bed was comfortable and could slightly hear the sea lions from our room. No t.v. in the room and it was nice to connect with nature and rest. There was an indoor heater in the closet that we turned on to heat up the room and turned off when we slept. The blankets kept us warm at night. One night after staying out at the fire pit to hang out with other guests, we got back to our room to shower and we didn't have hot water. One of the innkeeper's told us sometimes it happens when too many people are showering at once. Not a deal breaker, although I want to share because this is something that I'd want to know. Back to good stuff...their breakfast is delicious every morning. It tastes like it is made with love. There is a trail down to the beach and a fire pit where they have all the ingredients necessary to make smores. The view is spectacular here. Truly one of a kind. We loved our experience here and look forward to coming back.

Definitely pricey, but this was our favorite BnB on our road-trip from Texas…read more We didn't spend a ton of time at the BnB itself but there was a lot we could have done. The beach with the Stellar's sea lines on the rocks (could hear them from the BnB), the attention to small details in the rooms, the sounds of the waves, the great breakfast, walking through the amazing garden; it was really one of our greatest experiences on this trip. The interaction with the hosts was a bit odd though, generally seemed very annoyed most of the time; however we never had any issues getting what we needed or answering questions.

They have all the sodas you can imagine in the fridge along with Coffee, fresh fruit and homemade baked goods all day. I almost forgot: Roger makes one hell of a cooked egg breakfast every morning. Make sure not to miss it. The rooms are large and spacious with fantastic ocean views. It can't get any better than this. I personally worked out every morning (we stayed 3 nights) in their beautiful backyard overlooking the Pacific ocean. The air was so clean and refreshing. I loved every minute of my stay at this Inn. We will certainly be back sometimes soon.

3 stars...... 2.5 isn't an option…read more Overall experience: It ended up being an acceptable time here. There are positives and some negatives that I will explain. Main concerns: * Overpriced for overall stay / experience * Unpleasant, extremely outdated decor; hard to ignore Positives: * Beautiful ocean view * Nice garden * Close to trailheads * Communal fridge filled with cold drinks; breakfast (I know it's a B&B but for this price, in-room coffee would've been nice.) * Very clean rooms * Hosts were kind, pleasant, informative Negatives: * Decor: The first impression was alarming at best. Online photos do leave you with the impression that the decor is dated but it is overwhelming to actually see once there. I had to walk back to the car and process whether I could actually stay here. After looking up availability of neighboring lodging and seeing no options (and considering the loss of money already spent here...), we decided to go inside. Instead of walking in the door, you have to use the old, outdated intercom where you're asked if you have a reservation. After being let in, we were still experiencing a lot of feelings ("creepy" is the word we kept repeating to each other and "Grandma's estate sale".). While the host was polite and informative, the environment / decor was so outdated, it was hard to get past or ignore. I spent half the day working to force myself to not feel uncomfortable here; I should feel good about the stay - not spend considerable vacation time talking myself into not feeling grossed out by it. * Cost of stay: Considering this was the most expensive option in the area, I expected more / better. Besides the overall decor, our bath towels had bleach stains on them. And be sure to bring your own bath supplies. The ones provided that are boasted about on the website.....looks like they bought Dollar store products, stuck old-fashioned-looking labels on and have refilled over and over. I did not feel comfortable using them at all. Summary: * Nice hosts. Great view. That's it. * Would I stay again or recommend to others: Hard no. You think it's obvious to want an ocean view but I'd easily pass on the view for a more comfortable place to stay. We actually left a day early. Could be good if recommendations here and in other reviews are taken and implemented. Relying solely on "the view" isn't cutting it.
