The Shelter Cove Inn is the place to stay. It is a little off the beaten path but well worth the trip. Breathtaking views from the room. We even saw the Whales. The Inn was spotless with upgrades you don’t usually find in Northern California. Richard & Margaret were excellent hosts, ensuring that our experience in Shelter Cove was very... More

We had a wonderful experience at Shelter Cove Inn and meeting Richard the owner. He was like a long lost friend. His Inn was immaculate and our view was breathtaking. We had a lovely l bedroom suite overlooking the ocean. We would highly recommend this place to anyone. Mike and Susie L. of Grants Pass Or.

Two buddies and I stayed two nights here on either side of the Avenue of the Giants Marathon. The place was perfect. The unit was new and clean and well-equipped. The location/view was spectacular. Most importantly, our hosts, Richard and Margaret, were wonderful. Helpful and solicitous when we needed them, and inobtrusive when we didn't. Great folks. The spot is... More

This is our fourth visit to Shelter Cove Inn. We keep going back because, in a word, it's just special. It has the feel of an island condo without the high price of travel to get there. The word "hotel" doesn't describe this place. There are only 4 suites, which makes it really private, even when fully occupied. Suites are... More

My wife and I will definitely return to this gem on the water. It was like a dream to wake up to the sounds of ocean birds and thundering surf. The weather was great and the hikes were amazing as well. But even with bad weather, the hot tub inside the room with a view of the tempestuous sea was... More

We spent a long weekend at the Shelter Cove Inn and enjoyed our stay so much. Shelter Cove itself is the perfect place to relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and get way from it all! The inn is beautifully appointed and has everything you could need. The suite has an oceanfront view, full kitchen (well-stocked), jacuzzi, tv/dvd player and nice... More

My husband just returned from a weekend getaway to Shelter Cove. At the recommendation of a close friend we chose to stay at the Shelter Cove Inn. We are so glad that we did! Our suite was spacious, beautiful and with a breathtaking view of the lost coast. Our suite was at ground level. We were able to walk out... More

We discovered this fairytale place when it just opened. Later that summer, we cancelled our plans for Hawaii vacation and came back to Shelter Cove Inn instead. This place is magical! It's quiet and heavenly peaceful... In the fully-equipped kitchen we cook our favorite meals, which (comparing to restaurant dining) save us a lot of money. The Inn keepers Richard... More

The owners Richard and Margaret were very friendly and attentive during our stay. All the restaurants were closed due to the off -season but we enjoyed the benefits of a full kitchen which was well equipped with all the necessities. We loved the view from the balcony, where waves were crashing against the rocks the whole time. We want to... More

We stayed at another inn in Shelter Cove this summer, and we happened to see the Shelter Cove Inn on a walk. We looked at one another and said, "This is more like it!" After a wonderful conversation with owners Richard and Margaret, we made reservations for our anniversary. We arrived home today from that trip, and although I don't... More
