"We enjoyed our stay here in this fabulous little bed and breakfast. The rooms are tastefully decorated and clean, and the bedding is very comfortable. The location and the views from every room are reason enough to stay here. There are great places to eat nearby. Tyler, the innkeeper, is very helpful and he puts out a great breakfast! I recommend staying here 100 percent!"

"Can’t say enough good things about this place and Tyler... The G.O.A.T. of hosts. Very clean…and Tyler’s thoughtful service and attention to detail was outstanding. Unreal breakfast started each day in style. Great location with just a short drive to amazing Redwood sites and trails. And the cute town has some fun places too. Recommend Larrupin Cafe for dinner one night.”

"Tyler is a gracious and informative host. His breakfasts are amazing. The home is perfectly positioned on a bluff with beautiful ocean and coastal views overlooking the quiet protected bay. We enjoyed the suggested nearby restaurants and a high quality wine tasting.”
