“Fabulous place!”

Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

My husband and I stayed in the Bath Suite for a night during our anniversary trip in mid-May. The first thing we did after check-in was to take our binoculars outside to our private deck to search the horizon for whales......and we spotted some right in the cove outside the hotel! We got some awesome photos (which I will try... More

My wife and I recently stayed at the Whale watch inn for our one year anniversary. We checked in on Friday afternoon. The hostess showed us around and offered us wine. She showed us I believe the whale watching room. It had a large fireplace in the middle with a circular couch around it. They also had a kitchen in... More

“Spectacular Gem!!”

Reviewed 2 April 2013

I loved the entire experience at the Whale Watch Inn. We did not see any whales but if they were out there we would have had a great view so I am sure we did not miss anything. What we did not miss: We had the "Love Song Suite". We enjoyed--Fine linens, soft silky too! Wonderful views and hot tub.... More

“the importance of getting away...”

Reviewed 23 February 2013

Yes, it's up the coast- at least an hour after you get to Bodega. I happen to have a sports car, so while my wife held on we "played" a bit and had some fun. We all need to get away from the computer emails, the TV set, and the daily errands once in a while, and this place was... More

“Expectations exceeded”

Reviewed 14 February 2013

Having read about it for years, and driving by it for decades, we finally decided to to give the Whale Watch Inn a try. Wow! It's now my new favorite for accomodations on the Northern California coast. Just past the town of, and with a view of, Anchor Bay, we spent the night in the Cliffside Room. Check-in was a... More

My husband and I stayed in the Swan Room this trip. It is a beautiful, quiet, peaceful room. The breakfasts were awesome!! If you are looking for someplace to get to get away from it all, this is your place!

Reviewed 5 January 2013

Where do I begin? Its started with the reservation, I asked for a room and told them we had a 70lb dog. They thought the room i requested was to small for a large dog and offered an upgrade for the same price. When we arrived the late night innkeeper was more than helpful with getting us checked in and... More

“A Quiet Place”

Reviewed 29 November 2012

This is a great little inn to get away from it all. Getting there is a bit of a challenge, but once there, it is quiet and peaceful. There are no TV's or clocks at the hotel, and cell phone coverage is a bit spotty. There is wi-fi that is usually pretty good. Surprisingly, it is just a short drive... More

“Scenery is unbelievable”

Reviewed 26 November 2012

We stayed in the Showcase Suite. A great room, with fireplace and a view you will not believe. I don't think you could find a better view for Northern California's rugged coastline. The coast here is majestic, with towering cliffs and big rocks in crashing surf. This room has two decks. It was very private with a view worthy of... More
