    This review is specifically for the dining experience I had at their resort restaurant, Coast Kitchen. They serve lunch until 3 on Saturdays and while it's pricey, you are paying for the view and the remoteness (there's not many dining options once you're north of the town of Jenner on Highway 1. The resort itself rests on a dramatic seaside bluff and by dining at Coast Kitchen, you have access to those sweeping views. The service was meh at first. The hostess sat us and said she'd bring us menus but never did. A server took notice and then immediately stepped in and made sure we were all set. I got the portobello mushroom sandwich. It held together nicely and didn't turn soggy after a few bites as those sandwiches are want to do. The ambiance was upscale rustic and we scored a window seat, as it was almost 2 by the time we arrived and lunch was winding down. After lunch, we wandered the grounds and took in some extra coastal views. It was a nice rest between various coastal parks we were visiting that day. Lunch was over $50, so this is definitely more of a special occasion stop for my budget. It was nice to try out, but, even though I find myself out this way every few months, I can't see making a meal here a regular stop. It's a splurge for sure. Glad I tried it and maybe for a birthday or anniversary meal, I'd stop by again,

    10/10 for views, everything else, 3/10. Hubby and I came for some rest and reprieve from the Palisades fires and thought we might as well make a nice trip out of it :) first off, views are amazing. The best in California. It gives me RPV/Terranea vibes. The long, windy drive to get here was worth it. However, for app $600/night, I think it's reasonable to expect the elevator to work, but the lift was broken. The staff was kind to bring up the luggage for us. My hubby booked the room w ocean cove view but the receptionist said there would be an upgrade fee of $100/night for that. I wonder why they didn't state that upfront during the booking? I'm seeing others mentioning similar issues with Timber Cove not stating the additional fees upfront. The day we arrived, there was complimentary wine tasting from 4-6pm, which was nice. I looked forward to having the comp cookies at 4pm daily. It was really cold so having a fireplace helped to enjoy the sunset views. The complimentary pastries in the morning are out only from 6-8am (and at 8am sharp, the pastries are taken away) which is odd, and super early considering most hotels I've stayed in offer continental breakfast until at least 9am lol. The rooms are average (super cold too) and the bathroom had an interesting smell to it (couldn't put my finger on it). It's cool they have a record player in each room and you have access to board games in the lobby. I wished they had more than just one restaurant in the hotel considering it's a really far drive to a different restaurant outside the hotel. There is one restaurant in the entire resort that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there are not many options as some menu items overlap between lunch and dinner. It's hard for me to classify this place as a resort and justify the price range ($600+ per night). The three stars are because of the friendliness of staff and the stunning views, but I'm not in a hurry to be back.

    A great hotel for the area! The hotel has a great room with a large fireplace and lots of board games to occupy your time. Free morning coffee and small pastries from 6-8 but the coffee constantly runs out and you have to wait 10 min for a new batch to be made. The food menus are minimal which is great because the food they do have is really good! I also enjoyed the selection of beers on tap and their house cocktails. The rooms are updated and clean, no coffee machine in the rooms just a tea kettle and tea bags. The rooms's patios face the ocean which is absolutely beautiful and cold. Our patio had Adirondack chairs and a table with chairs so I spent a lot of hours sitting outside enjoying the view. Highly recommend the hotel but make sure to bring warm clothes for walking the cliffs overlooking the ocean. It is cold, windy and lightly drizzled on and off during our four day stay.

    My husband booked Timber Cove Resort for my birthday weekend and it was so nice! I loved the cozy rooms complete with blackout curtains, a record player, and plenty of space. We stayed in the ocean cove rooms and the view was gorgeous. I only wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed the deck! The resort gave me a birthday card which was nice, but too bad it didn't include some wine like other photos i've seen! I loved the fresh cookies that came out at 4pm and the complimentary champagne on Saturday evenings. The room was nice but one thing that bothered us was that our mechanical skylight shade and the remote was not working... So once the sun rose, the light filtered in right on top of my husband's face, lol. Besides that, our stay was great! Loved the gym onsite and the fact that they have trails around the property to hike. Their onsite restaurant, Coast Kitchen, is also great for breakfast and brunch. It's a super relaxing resort and i'd recommend!

    I was born and raised in this town and all i can say is coming here to celebrate my birthday a bit early was the best thing to do and just winding down and relaxing was truly needed! Staying here has been so far amazing not only the best views, the food is amazing and the people here are so sweet and helpful, I highly recommend anyone who wants to get away from life in general to come stay here and cleanse their soul cause this place truly has my heart and soul!! We will be coming back soon, its truly worth it Also they are Dog friendly best bonus to this trip!

    We are vacationing in the area and decided to try Timber Cove Resort located at 21780 CA-1 Jenner, CA 95450 on Tuesday, September 23rd. The views are spectacular overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The food was subpar. We ordered oysters and they were spoiled with a rancid smell. Even after getting the oyster juice on your fingers you were left with a horrible smell. When we told the waitress she had a look of disbelief and walked away leaving the rancid oysters on the table. A few minutes later she came back to pick them up. Next came the mussels and unfortunately they too were rancid. At this point in the meal we were very skeptical of the rest of our food and hoped things would be better. Unfortunately, things didn't get better. My no cheese burger, came out with blue cheese and was well done even though I asked for medium well. My husband fish and chips was extremely salty. We had 8 adults and 2 children. Mostly everyone's meal had something wrong with it. We finally decided to speak with the manager, Ximena, we found it strange that she didn't come to check on us after we sent back the rancid oysters & mussels. Ximena, the Manager came to the table and acted as if she wasn't made aware of the problems with the food. She then proceeded to justify the quality by saying they wouldn't serve spoiled oysters or mussels because every thing is kept at the right temperature. She was pretty much saying the food was good. I also explained we needed more water and had to ask several times for missing items. She reluctantly agreed to adjust the bill. However, when the bill came no adjustments were made. So we again had to speak with the waitress again. Meanwhile, As we were eating the plates stayed on the table and the table was a mess. Usually as you eat empty plates are picked up. Finally, She removed my burger but added 20% gratuity that wasn't there before. I would not recommend eating there but would recommend the drinks. The woman bartender fixed great drinks! She was very friendly and personable. Plus the views are amazing. Below are a few pictures.

    View from the ocean-facing room.

    Amazing views but that's pretty much all you'll get for a hefty price. Property and room are dated. We had a gorgeous ocean-facing view, but the room itself wasn't great. Lamp was broken. Sink was clogged. Had to ask someone to turn on the fireplace. Amenities/service were also lacking. Nobody came to service our room. Wanted to order room service and told by waitress bar/kitchen would close around 10pm. Called at 9pm and they said they closed early. We opted for charcuterie - asked for meats and cheese and they instead brought meats and crackers. Restaurant was above average but charged premium prices. Feels like a family-run establishment that charges 4/5-start resort prices. This is a barely 3 star hotel (wouldn't even call it a "resort"). NOT WORTH IT. Please look elsewhere for something better!

    If you climb down the rocks just a little, you'll see this place.

    We just wrapped up one night here and had great time. The location is phenomenal. There are all of these cool trails that you can take to the water. Also, there is a rocky/boulder area with an art piece that was fun. The staff were incredibly friendly. The food was incredible. I think I may have had the best fish that I've ever had. The negatives: Lots of dogs. That's cool, except you can hear some them yapping in the rooms while their owners were away. Also, do we really need dogs in the restaurant? I'm paying $50 for a small piece of fish,l and it would be great not to have someone's dog staring at me while waiting for food to fall. The server was super nice, but forgot a few things. The room was comfortable but not super clean. It smelled musty, and the floors were extremely worn. The overall vibe was casual and relaxed, and the room was at the high end of what I wanted to pay for what I received. The food was delicious, but a little pricey for the atmosphere. I'd return, but only if the rooms were a little less pricey.

    Good day! Do we need to be a guest to be able to enter and explore the property? Especially the gorgeous views? TIA

    Not necessarily, but it would be polite to purchase a drink at a minimum as opposed to pulling in, exploring, and leaving.

    Has anyone stayed in the bunkbed room? Wondering what the view is like. Thanks

The service was awesome, our server Evan quickly got us to our seats and took our orders. We tried the oyster epiphany (fresh oyster with lime ginger and wasabi dressing) I wasn't a big fan of oysters due to its fishy after taste. But this place nailed it! The sauce really paired well, oysters were soo fresh I could go for another round. We also ordered homemade sourdough as starters, the whipped butter was very light , not too overwhelming. The sourdough was soft and the poppy seeds add texture to it. The pairing works so well, we asked for another refill. Now to the main course, the fish tacos were on point, not very memorable to be honest. But the pasta!!! omg you could tell it was hand made, the shrimp were fresh and cleaned it wasn't fishy at all. I was expecting it to be a tomato based pasta, but the sun dried tomato gave such a nice additional profile, sweet and sourness to the truffle based pasta sauce. Last but not least, let's talk about the view! It is not everyday you got to see the end of the river and the start of Pacific Ocean. it was such a stunning view. Overall it is a 5/5 experience!

Our first visit the cabins were a bit too "rustic" for our liking, and we were grateful to only there for one evening. The linens were clean and the bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was TINY, and the window would not shut due to the lean of the cabin. We enjoyed the fresh air throughout the evening, and had plenty of blankets to keep warm. The view of the Ocean and mouth of the River was amazingly beautiful to watch the sunset and we have views from our room and the restaurant. The restaurant was amazing, and what really made the experience next level. I can't remember what we ate, but I have longed to go back remembering it was delicious. We did stay the second time in their Oceana room in the home collection which was much more our style. There were no issues with the windows or doors, there was a private hot tub, and the deck was much more spacious. We had a kitchen to cook in, including a full size refrigerator and oven. Since our last stay the common beach area had been hit by a rough storm and had changed the landscape significantly. It was a reminder that Mother Nature can change things in an instant, and never take it for granted. Having the private space of the home collection made this less of a hit on our experience since we didn't need to use it. The restaurant delivered again with an amazing meal, beet salad, filet mignon, and bread service. I look forward to our next trip and plan to bring my parents out and spend some quality time together, listening to music, playing games, watching the ocean, and eating amazing food. This time I will attempt to take more photos, and update my review.

Room was nice but a bit dark and we could hear every word the upstairs guests were saying, so recommend staying on top units, even though you'll need to walk around in the summer to the river.

We couldn't sleep with it on because it was quite noisy. The Inn is in a pretty location right on the river but they have tons of weddings in the summer so it might be overrun with wedding guests and the ceremony / reception if you go (be sure to ask about it). They have a nice gazebo with coffee and ice and an outdoor fire pit which we didn't use. It's right in the town of Monte Rio which has a grocery store, coffee shop, movie theater in town. We golfed at Northwoods which is about 10 minutes down the road, and had dinner across the bridge at a German place which was quite good. At over $300/night, not sure it was worth it, but it was our anniversary and something different. The owners were very nice and improving the property.

Pros: this was a very charming estate and the staff was beyond kind to both of us and our pup. He was welcome everywhere except the dining room, the pool and spa. The room was very cute and clean. The only downside for me and my allergies is that there is wood fireplace in each room. The bathroom had plenty of hot water. The breakfast was from 8-10 am in the dining room and had a decent meat-less spread. Toast, bagels, oatmeal and toppings, plain yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, fruit salad, coffee, tea assortment and juices. The grounds are super cute and weather permitting there is a movie playing on a projector with complimentary s'mores to cook on the outdoor wood fire. Since we had our dog, we didn't use the pool or spa. "Aunt Kay" we interacted with the most and was so kind to both of us and Dio. She made our stay! Not only was she informative but also checked in on us when we we'd pass through the lobby. Dio was a big fan of her. Cons: if you have allergies or are sensitive to wood smoke, this is not your destination. Again, there are wood burning fireplaces in each room and a large fire pit by the movie. The room we stayed at is across from the pool and it can get noisy. You can also hear everyone that walks in front of your room. Along with that there is a lot of wildlife, so you may need ear plugs. If you need to sleep in the dark, the front blinds are going to still let in light, so bring a sleep mask. Update: we got a text that I forgot my socks in the room.

Usually, gluten free is so disappointing, but not here. Delicious! On top of all this was friendly and informative staff. Lovely stay. Hopefully, we'll be back in another 10 years.
