Inn On Tomales Bay

What a wonderful experience. Beautiful rooms with awesome views. Super comfy bed. Lots of little things that make this place great. Binoculars, fresh cut roses, a loaner backpack just to name a few. Oh, did I mention the awesome view. Definitely coming back.
Thank you very much for a wonderful time.

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay. We lucked out on a spontaneous weekend getaway and found this place. We couldn’t believe that at the beginning of the peak season we found a room on the same day. Very reasonable price and a complementary continental breakfast. The room also had a lot of nice little touches like a gas fireplace, wine glasses and corkscrew, binoculars, CD’S, a CD player, and free WiFi (just don’t stream video per their instructions). The innkeeper that I talked too, Bob, was very nice and accomodating. I almost didn’t want to write a review because I would like to keep this place a secret but it would be a disservice to the inn keepers. Our room also had a real nice view of Tomales Bay!

This place is amazing and saved us because we couldn’t find a place to stay on the fairly barren stretch of highway 1. The innkeepers, Bob and Lynnette, are amazing and wonderful people who are extremely kind and helpful. For the view, room, and kind innkeepers, the $ 150 was totally worth it. I would definitely stay there again if I ever find myself on the 1. I highly recommend this little bed and breakfast. The breakfast was a selection of a plate of sweet breads, orange juice, coffee, sugar/​cream, and tea. The beds were very comfortable and the wifi was strong. In the morning Lynette was kind enough to fill our thermos before we left, which saved our lives. I love it here and wouldn’t hesitate coming back. Thanks Bob and Lynette! (:

Located about 30 minutes up Highway 1 from Point Reyes Station, this little inn is a great choice for a beautiful view and a quiet time. Bob barely interacted with us, the room and bathroom were clean, and the bed was comfortable. Essentially you get three things: an excellent view, a clean room, and coffee/​tea/​coffee cake in the morning. Wifi is present but a bit flaky. No TV. Big shower but no tub. Not 5 stars because it’s not fancy or luxurious. But it was perfect for us.

Amazing and quaint little place. This was the only lodging with an opening for a decent price ($ 150 per night plus tax) and a one night weekend stay just a week before check-​in. We stayed in the Garden Room, which is the downstairs room. Bob greeted us when we arrived, showed us to the room, and left us alone for the rest of the time to enjoy. The room was decorated in a rose theme and had an electric fireplace. The bathroom was very clean (yay!). Our dining area had a beautiful view of the bay where we enjoyed a quiet breakfast. There are many interesting books to read including a book on Essays on Aging, which I quite enjoyed. The only thing that needs a change is the carpet, which looked worn out and old.
The location of this inn was perfect. It was a 5 minute drive from our kayaking launch site and Hog Island Oyster Farm. The only thing I had a problem with is that there are no grocery stores or restaurants around opened later in the night. Make sure to bring food, medications, toiletries, etc otherwise you may end up roughing it for the night.
The innkeepers sent us directions through snail mail, which were much easier to drive than following Google Maps. If traveling from Bay Area, drive 101 and cut through Petaluma to reach Marshall rather than exiting at San Rafael. This saves you time from having to drive through Point Reyes Station and other towns where traffic is slow.
Overall, a wonderful and relaxing place to stay for a weekend getaway.

We had a fantastic time staying at the Inn! Bob and Lynette and both very pleasant but also leave you to enjoy the quiet, peaceful setting. The room was clean, comfortable, and views were gorgeous. Perfect getaway and absolutely lovely!!!

Great rates, water view from any of their rooms, beautiful sunsets, breakfast included, quiet and peaceful, this place is a gem. Highly recommended.

We were lucky enough to get the room with the best view of the Bay. Nice big windows, plenty of light. The room itself looks like a well structured remodel. Big bathroom and nice size bedroom with 2 comfy chairs overlooking the Bay. No TV but the owners kindly provided a cd player with a selection of cd’s, and some books, and free WiFi. Those are the pluses. The minus is that this could be a really NICE place to stay with some attention to detail. Namely: retire the current bed linen and pillows. The pillows were flat, lumpy, and hard. .Not comfortable. This place is isolated as far as getting a cup of coffee or tea in the evening, so it would be a nice, considerate touch if the owners would provide a coffee maker in the room. There is a small frig but it isn’t cold so it’s of no use. This truly is a diamond in the rough. We’ll be back.

I was referred by a good friend and we had a lovely time at the Inn on Tomales Bay. Simple accomodations with a big view of the bay. Good sized room at a very reasonable cost. Quiet surroundings in prestine setting. Easy to find just off California HWY 1(a beautiful drive on newly paved curving road). The Inn is 3 minutes from three fresh oyster houses where you can get shucked oysters. At the time we were there, the oysters were a buck a piece.

Had a wonderful stay here. There is a beautiful view from the North room of Tomales Bay. We also saw a fox from our window. The breakfasts were excellent and artfully presented. The rooms were quiet and very comfortable.

Stayed there on Saturday night. The place was very clean and Bob was very friendly. The room is equipped with various types of music CDs, a binocular, a backpack, etc, very thoughtful. The view.oh.the view, it was awesome. We sat in the dark watching the bay in the full moon night. It can’t get better than this.
The breakfast was great and the conversation with Bob was even better. We’ll definitely go back!

the views from the south & north rooms are spectacular. Go just for that. Its worth every penny and the drive and then some more.
The rooms are very spacious, and include a fire place, a rocking chair, a fridge, a surprisingly good selection of books. The inn keepers are knowledgeable about hikes in the area, (we went on a wonderful hike on Tomales bay point, saw a fox, a whole troop of elk and deer) and the breakfasts are delicious.
However — This is not really an Inn per se — there’s no real shared area or anything like that — just really lovely rooms on top of a family house, with home made breakfast served in your rooms (or in a make shift dining table in the family’s living room…)
This place is wonderful if what you want are: jaw dropping view, spacious lodging and tasty breakfasts.
