My wife and I flew into Shelter Cove as the first stop on a week long getaway through the wine country of Sonoma Valley. We tied the plane down not 250 yards from the Oceanfront Inn and walked over. We were greeted very warmly and when we entered our room we fell in love with the place. The room was... More

Indeed this Boutique Hotel was seated right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The rooms are very modern and clean. Very quiet place with a restaurant located on the first floor. I didn't see any elevators, but didn't mind climbing the two staircases located opposite sides of the building. We kept our sliding door open so we could hear... More

This place was such a pleasant surprise! After the grueling drive on that windy road from Garberville, I had no hope for anything nice at the end of the journey... any bed would do. But the giant jacuzzi and killer veranda turned a dark and stormy night into a cozy and romantic treat! Thanks to Phil for all the help... More

Sitting on a comfy bed, at the Ocean Front Lodge, listening and watching the sounds of the ocean, its hard to imagine that life gets more perfect than this. It probably doesn't. Good, clean, quality accomodation. Giant jacuzzi, fridge, microwave, bath, 42 inch TV, armchairs, table and chairs, and a balcony to sit and watch the ocean....perfect. A good tasty... More

We were happy with our decision to stay here. Off season rates were reasonable. Rooms were large and comfortable. Our rooms had a microwave and a refrigerator in it which was handy because of the limited restaurants & hours in the off season. The girls had to ask for hair dyers which Phil, the manager, provided (but one didn't work).... More

Shelter Cove is worth the drive across beautiful, but winding hill roads. A quiet village with spectacular scenery. The hotel was super, really friendly check in, the room was large, comfortable, very well equipped and the view from the balcony was mind blowing. A very good dinner, pleasantly served, with the same stunning views. I suggest you ignore the advice... More

Friends had recommended this place and it was everything and more than they had described. Yes it is difficult to get to, but that's why its called " The lost coast" and I would imagine what keeps its pristine beauty intact. I had made a reservation a week before and Phil the manager had warned me that the restaurant on... More

Recently stayed here one night. A bit out of our way but the location is stunning. The room was huge, very comfortable and clean. The balcony was great over looking the ocean. Even though we had a foggy evening, the view was spectacular. Enjoyed dinner at the restaurant - excellent meal.
