I think I would have given this an "average" instead of "poor" except that I received an email from the lodge asking for my feedback, and I replied with my feedback and did not hear back from them. It seems that they only wanted positive feedback! so it wasn't terrible, but there were a number of things that contributed to... More

Wow! Love this place! Such a unique experience and well worth the price if you are seeking a restful getaway with an incredible view. Rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and very comfortable with unbeatable ocean views. Love the rain shower, fireplace and window seating area in our room.

My husband and I planned a few days in San Fransisco as a quick getaway. We stayed in the city, but wanted one night along the coast somewhere. We drove up to Sea Ranch, and we were so glad we did. Wonderful lodge, friendly staff. We had a regular King room, but were graciously upgraded to a deluxe room. The... More

My husband, daughter and I spent one night at Sea Ranch Lodge in late April. It was a glorious time to visit as the wild flowers were in full bloom along the lodges wild flower trail. As expected, the sea views were wonderful. We saw a seal bobbing around and according to another guest, we just missed a mama and... More

While out driving the coast and visiting the beaches, we found ourselves in a very remote location, with dinner time looming. We stopped at the Sea Ranch Lodge because it was the first place that we came to. And we are so glad that we did, that we've already planned a trip back to stay the night! We started out... More

The best there is to offer in the area....but there are some problems: Bedside lamps are low wattage and fluorescent..Bring your own regular light bulbs if you want to read! The bath room door is hung on a railing and huge gaps on each side prevent privacy while sitting on the toilet. The noisy kitchen exhaust fan resonates throughout the... More

I travelled down the coast recently and the fifteen or so hours I spent at Sea Ranch were by far the highlight of the trip. The room was amazing--from the view, to the complementary bottle of wine, the furniture, lighting, the grounds, the dining room... all of it top notch. I honestly felt like I had entered an alternate United... More

Let me start off by saying the only reason I wound up here was because of the road construction out front.
