Without looking at Yelp, I was told that hotels and motels were limited in the area and fill up quickly on weekends. On a gamble, I was able to book reservations for Thursday through Sunday stay the Tomales Hotel, the little town of Tamales To my surprise, there are no lobby and individuals in charge. You provided a code via email or phone, and different code for your room. These locks are touchy and nothing like the run of the mill combination locks. I was able, per one of the housekeepers who let me in a few hours before check in. There were three (3) house keepers who were unbelievably kind and running ata hundred miles an hour. This hotel has been remodeled that would make any proud. Clean neat as pin. Roomy, and all the pillows you could want and mattress to die for. Absolutely Awesome place. Bob - Sacramento, CA

If you need to escape the city, the Inn on Tomales Bay is a great option. Less than a hour and half…read morefrom San Francisco, my girlfriend and I took a long weekend in Tomales Bay, and we stayed at the Inn on Tomales Bay. The innkeeper, Bob, greeted us in person when we arrived around 11:30pm; He personally showed us to our room and calmly described how ordering breakfast worked, gave us wifi credentials, and then let us relax. If you're looking for upscale luxury, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for an exceptionally clean, cozy, and well run B&B than look no further. You're staying in a tranquil, untroubled place that persuades you to decompress and clear your mind. Notable Amenities: - WiFi - Feminine products in the bathroom - Novels and light music - Fireplace - Continental breakfast - Binoculars - Hiking backpack - Mini refrigerator What is provided to you promotes relaxation and exploring your surroundings. We spent our mornings in the room eating breakfast, listening to Claude Debussy and watching the mist clear over the bay. We then headed out to go kayaking all day, had oysters and champagne for dinner, then retreated back to the B&B to cozy up in front of the fire. *Note About Breakfast* Breakfast is brought to your room and includes the following: tea, orange juice, and an assortment of breads (blueberry, coffee, pumpkin, poppyseed, etc.) *Note About Your Surroundings* You are near a few restaurants, and a light breakfast is provided, otherwise not much is around. I would suggest bringing some fruits/veggies and other light snacks when you are out during the day.

Creamer, coffee, tea, eggs, butter, english muffins, jellies, and fruit provided. Cute, boho style furniture with some shaker style pieces - very nicely decorated.

Beautiful blue and white tiled bathroom with shower only - wonderful water pressure and hot water! Tony and Jan supply body wash, shampoo, and conditioner (Neutrogena Rainbath and Pantene at the time of my visit). Small wood-burning stove with logs and all the tools needed to keep a fire going. Wifi signal was great - I watched some Netflix and joined a Zoom meeting from my own computer and had no issues with either. Hot tub was great. Outdoor space to sit at a nice table with four chairs and a nice looking BBQ. I saw an elk roaming on the property, lots of quail and other birds (they have a pictorial guide of birds hanging by the front door right as you walk in). The yurt is on a gravel road. You pass the neighbor's sheep and horses as you drive in. Point Reyes Station is literally right around the corner - a 2-3 minute drive - with lots of food, great markets and shopping. Inverness is a 5-minute drive (if that). The yurt is very conveniently located. I passed Jan and Tony and Stella, their dog, on the way out one night - very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. I will be thrilled when the opportunity comes to visit again!!

I've cycled a lot around Point Reyes and taken many one-day road trips, but I've never really…read moreexplored the area extensively due to a lack of time. That recently changed thanks to the recent overnight accommodations provided by the Black Heron Inn. Located in Point Reyes Station, about a 5-minute drive from downtown, it's the perfect place to stay when exploring Point Reyes. I had done quite a bit of research on accommodations in the area, but the options seemed to either be way too expensive or way too "patchouli" for my taste. The Black Heron Inn was the perfect fit for me and my wife. They have three guest rooms, and due to the lack of availability of the other rooms, I selected the Grand View Suite. And what a "Grand View" it was. My strong suggestion is not to plan too much during the late afternoon because you'll want to open a bottle of wine and enjoy the view from the outdoor deck or the dining room table before heading off to dinner for some oysters. The clean and well appointed rooms have a small refrigerator, a small microwave, and a toaster as well as dishes and silverware, so make sure to bring some ready to eat food with you to store in the room since food is not provided. We personally picked up some breakfast savories and sweets from Brickmaiden Breads, and our mornings were set. Coffee is provided along with a Cuisinart Coffee maker. If you don't like your coffee black or enjoy creamers, be sure to pack some milk for the fridge. The proprietors are pretty hands-off when it comes to guest interaction (which is just fine), but they are very responsive if necessary. One thing I did learn while talking to them briefly was that they have a lot of repeat customers. Based on our recent stay, I can see why!

We recently stayed in the Grand View Suite and sent an email to the innkeepers at…read morestay@blackheroninn.com to provide some feedback. The email bounced because the mailbox was full, so we're posting the email we sent to Yelp. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Positives: * Quiet and peaceful. * Very nice view. * Useful kitchenette items: plates, cutlery, microwave, coffee maker (with Peet's coffee!), etc. Improvement suggestions: * The windows need washing, especially in the dining area. The view is one of the main attractions of your property, and it's a shame (and disappointing) to look through dirty windows. * There are cobwebs in areas in the room (example: next to the book case in the dining area), and outside on the deck and deck chairs. In fact, the Adirondack chairs on the deck were so dirty we didn't want to sit on them. * The room lighting is a mish-mash of incandescent, CFL, and LED, with different color temperatures. Suggest redoing the lighting with LED lights in the 3000 (warm light) color temperature. Also, the low-voltage puck lights in the soffit above the kitchen counter don't work. At least, we couldn't find a switch to turn them on. Fixing this would brighten up the kitchenette. * The handle on the right-side loft window is incapable of opening the window. (There's a small set screw meant to secure the handle to the window winding mechanism's shaft, and the screw is loose so the handle just spins on the shaft so the window doesn't open.) * The cushioning in the two table chairs in the dining area and the two reclining chairs in the living area is worn and compressed, so the cushioning is marginal. The chairs need to be reupholstered or replaced; they're basically worn out. Making these improvements would elevate the room from just okay to very good and make the relatively high room rate more reasonable.

LOCATION This cozy, little cottage sits on a rustic farm in…read morePoint Reyes Station. Although it's located just 40 miles north of San Francisco, this place feels completely different from the Bay Area. The idyllic, rural setting (complete with sheep, ducks, and chickens) makes Morning Glory Cottage a wonderful retreat for rest and recuperation. AMBIANCE This place is imbued with a calming sense of tranquility and serenity. Even though it is right off the road, we rarely noticed any traffic noise. The only sounds that we heard were the leafs rustling, birds chirping, ducks quacking, bees droning, rooster crowing, and the farm dog barking. FURNISHING We chose this cottage primary because it is dog friendly and because it has a kitchenette furnished with pots, pans, plates, bowls, and utensils (so we're not forced to eat out every meal). Here are some of the other nice things that we liked about the place: + hand-written welcome note + a basket of fresh chicken and duck eggs + free WiFi + private patio As well-appointed as the cottage is, it is by no means perfect. Here are some minor deficiencies that we noticed during our stay: - there were plenty of hand soaps but no bath soap - there was a barbeque grill but no charcoals - there was a hand towel in the kitchen but no napkins - the skylight makes it hard to sleep in late PRICE $125 a night during the week days (Monday through Thursday). $135 a night during the weekend (Friday through Sunday).

We came away rested and restored. My biggest issue with B&Bs is that we often find the hosts endlessly intrusive. I understand they want to help, but as an introvert, their presence often grates. Jan and Lou, though, were very thoughtful about letting us enjoy the peace and quiet their cottage provides. It was a delight to have the freshly-made morning meals dropped off for us to deal with at our own pace. The store in Tomales, which is a pleasant walk from the cottage, provided us snacks and lunches. And there are a lot of options for dinner nearby. Our favorite was the Bodega Casino (which is neither a bodega or a casino, but a bar), where in the evenings they have pop-ups with amazing local chefs. I also really appreciated Jan giving us a tour of their farm and teaching us about the business of it. We were really impressed with their industry and acumen. We'll definitely be back!

The bed is elevated from the main sitting area. I love that you can coddle yourself to sleep in the comfy bed and have full view of the greenery outside. There are very large windows almost floor to ceiling. NO TV!!! Yeahhhh.. But there is a CD player and an assortment of CD's available. The bathroom has huge ceilings and heated slate floors.

We've recently introduced a new generation to Lone Fir Cottage, and were able to experience it through fresh eyes: the excitement of exploring the gardens, finding the chicken coop; listening for owls after nightfall, and waking to a wide and peaceful quiet. For us older ones, the peace penetrates deeply, mitigating against months of city stress. Days can be spent just looking out the wall of windows into the treetops, playing games, or cooking. If we feel like venturing out, there's easy access to Bear Valley, Inverness or Point Reyes Seashore, trails, or town. And evenings, the comfort of a happy woodstove and of course, the hot tub.
