Wharf Master's Inn

My son picked this Inn out 7yrs ago during a family trip. We've stayed 3 times. We thought we loved it before...then we came back in Aug of 2025!! Karen is the BEST and the improvements are fantastic. Anything we needed she took care of. The rooms (clean & quiet) and grounds (relaxing) are great. The location is perfect for hikes, ocean time & going to see the lighthouse. We recommend booking directly so that they can set you up exactly like you are wanting. The ocean views are SO worth it (priced better than other places). Chill on the balcony and enjoy the view!

Arrival on Friday was met with a happy-hour hosted by the friendly Karen who ensured a tip-top stay for us the entire weekend. Food options at the bottom were surprisingly good, and a nice walk back up the driveway to shake the extra calories. We decided to rent e-bikes from the hotel that allowed us to explore the town and preserve areas. Our balcony view was fantastic, bedding great, and the jacuzzi was perfect! We enjoyed the view of the sunset from the fire pits - a great way to drink local fine California wines. Before we left on Sunday, we had to do one last beach walk and the continental breakfast before a wonderful drive down highway 1.

We had a romantic, delightful time on Valentine’s day 2026. Even on a major holiday the place was quiet. Our room + balcony had a great view of the stunning harbor and westward to watch the setting sun. It has a garden like feel to get to the rooms through the landscaped courtyard. The owner/hostess made us feel very welcome as we checked in. As the inn is perched on a hillside, the one caveat is parking is limited at the upper elevation closest to where the rooms are at. At multiple levels lower down there is ample parking. But you will have to climb some stairs or follow the road upwards. There is plenty of hiking in the area. We enjoyed the wildlife preserve nearby.

Since my husband discovered this gem of a place around mid-2025, we have come and stayed at Wharf Master's Inn 3 times in 6 months, we like it this much! We love its location with ocean view, friendly and professional people, jacuzzi-in-room, clean environment, and relaxed atmosphere. When one visits with reasonable expectations about a small-business, one can definitely fall in love with Wharf Master's Inn. First of all, the location. My husband likes it because it's just the right place to rest at the end of his coastal motorcycle ride from SF/Bay Area (or a break before continuing on northwards). I like it because of the ocean view (from the rooms we chose). We love being able to enjoy jacuzzi in private and anytime of our liking (within reasonable hours). The rooms and public area are

A wonderful location, just enough isolation to be near the coast yet away from the town center. There were beautiful views of the cove from our balcony, the hotel itself being tucked into the bluffs above the cove. The owners, Karen and Cliff were great hosts, and made us feel welcome. The rooms were clean and well equipped with amenities, and the quaint courtyard in the center of the grounds was beautiful and serene. The Continental breakfast was just enough with good coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels and biscotti. The offsite restaurant just a few minutes down the hill served great meals, and we ate there each day we stayed. Point Arena lighthouse is a 10-15 minute drive north and is a worthwhile side trip for a history and tour which includes a walk up a spiral staircase to the top fo
