We liked the view of the ocean. Saw plenty of whales. However my wife is short and it was difficult for her to get in the bed since it was high. She also had a hard time getting in and out of the tub because the tub side was high and there were no grab bars.

A truly great experience!

What a wonderful find it was for us. Great location, wonderful sizable cabin like room. Loved the patio that had both the Jacuzzi and a coal BBQ in it. We also loved the fireplace in the room. It was perfect to use it when it got cold at night. All this while facing an amazing view of the ocean and the forest that leads to it. Few wonderful trails on the property for you to explore the wonderful area. A breath taking sunset is something to look forward for when there is no fog over the water.

It’s situated and perfectly placed rooms are great. The room’s cleanliness needs a bit of tweaking. There was a pretzel under one bed, the floors & baseboards behind the beds is dirty, and the bathroom floor had debris in the corners. I would also recommend adding another towel hook or bar as the towels didn’t dry over night. Regarding Summer, the cat: my niece and I think that she would really be happier inside. She is startled by every sound and movement, and she would really love to play. I was able to play with her using some plant material and I am sure she’d enjoy a catnip toy or two. Anyhoo, I think she would respond to patient & gentle encouragement to join you indoors.

Very charming comfortable bungalows each with private entry and sliding glass door to outside, many with private hot tub, wifi, tv, mini fridge, dishes and cutlery, ice, bathrobes, quiet comfortable room with kitchenette, clean bathroom, decor and architecture a bit dated but that's part of the charm, large open nature space out back which you can walk to a bluff overlooking the ocean, spectacular place to see sunset. Communal hot tub and workout room, bbq grill and tools at each room. Very friendly staff who live on premises. Convenient store directly across the street for random needs and great sandwiches. Beautiful drive but road is a bit windy getting there from south, if you get carsick be aware. Very relaxing place to stay in this remote magical location. Bring your own toiletries, they provide tiny soap and shampoo.

They offer late arrival (after 6pm) self-check-in. I called and emailed to confirm the arrangement a few days before our stay. However, upon arrival, we found that they didn't leave our door open as they said they would. We had to wait outside of the hotel front office in the cold, dark night for the staff to come and open our door. They said they didn't leave our door open because my credit card on file didn't go through when they tried to run the charge before I arrived. Well, I booked this hotel six months in advance and the CC happened to be replaced during this time, but they didn't even bother to call/ email me. They just let us find it out in the hard way and wait anxiously to get into the room. We stayed for two nights, and there was no room cleaning after the first night. They didn't even bother to change our towels. We had to use the dirty towels for the second night. In addition, the building insulation was poor. The room gets very warm during the day and very cold during the night. What an unpleasant experience!

Okay for a Short Stay

Stayed at Fort Ross Lodge for a night — overall a peaceful and convenient spot right off Hwy 1. The room was clean but a bit dated, and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Still, it’s a nice place if you’re looking for a quiet stop along the coast.
