Pros:

The grounds are beautiful and cozy. Open fires make it fun with s'mores fixings provided. The rooms are nice and clean.

Cons:

Our room was right next to the road which was very loud and the bed was firm which made for a lot of tossing a turning at night.

We loved our last minute, weekend stay at the Inn, which brings the attentive detail and personality of a well-cared for
Pros:

Well cared for with loving, quirky details, right on the water with access to the beach without having to walk along the road, stores, the movie theater, and other conveniences right next door. Family run by a lovely family.

Cons:

Some rooms are right on the road (but that is factored into price).

Mostly good
Pros:

Beautiful location by the river. Close to nice attractions like the beaches, redwoods, and vineyards.

Cons:

Better attention to detail would have been nice - we requested a room for three and there were inly two towels on check in. The heater was off and the rooms were ice cold on check in and the one heater in the living room took a long time to heat up the bedroom.

Pros:

Facility was very clean and cared for. There's so much love put into this place, from the cotton candy and popcorn machines in common areas to little vases with fresh flowers in the room, this inn feels like someone's much loved house that we had the honor of being invited to.
