Absolutely perfect. Loved our stay here from the friendly welcome, complimentary drink and breakfast, comfortable bed, lovely room and the surrounding coastal walks. Very convenient for SFO, just sad we didn’t have time to stay more than one night. Highly recommend staying here

Perfect hideaway located by the marine reserve. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was delicious! Unfortunately we had travel delays so did not get to spend much time relaxing and enjoying the grounds as we planned but look forward to coming back.

The location is superb along the cliffs of the Pacific. Listening to frogs, waves, and seals sing their night serenades. With a glass of complimentary California wine. A true European experience in this majestic Northern California spot.

When we first arrive, we spoke with Stacey she was amazing! She took the time to go over everything. The room was beautiful. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite full kitchen, with Keurig machine and also have a machine in the lobby, along with soft drinks etc. We would stay here again.

The customer service and breakfasts were absolutely wonderful. We could hear the ocean from our balcony and it was a perfect get away. All the extras at the inn felt so generous.

We had a wonderful time. The Inn is just a few blocks from the highway but is secluded and peaceful. The Staff was helpful and friendly. Sharon checked us in and later poured us a glass of wine. We sat in the lovely living room to visit. Our room was clean and comfortable The breakfast, that we chose to have in the dining room was delicious. It is a short walk to the bluff and the Cypress grove and the Moss Beach Distillery. The breakfast was delicious.

It would be very difficult to find a more relaxing place to stay on the California coast. More of a place for couples and not a place to bring the kids (for the sake of those who came to enjoy the quiet and beauty of the surroundings).
