A friend recommended that we take a detour to the Lost Coast on our California + Oregon coast roadtrip. I'm glad he did! Such a beautiful setting. The Inn of the Lost Coast is a simple clean place to stay with a spectacular view! When our took us to the room and opened up the curtain, all we could see... More

My husband and I took a road trip from Seattle to San Francisco and we splurged one night here and loved it! We had stumbled upon it on the map and were very happy we did. Our experience was great and we would definitely go back! I wrote a bit more about it and have some photos on my blog... More

I was traveling solo on motorcycle and stopped in at shelter cove. The place was dead as it was the off season. I was suprised that they were not offering off season rates. I had to pull teeth to get a decent rate. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the view was amazing. I was disappointed that the television... More

My husband and I drove up the coast from San Francisco to Gold Beach, Oregon. On the way back, we decided to get off the beaten path, and found Shelter Cove. What a spectacular area; not touristy at all - just peaceful, stunning ocean views, and quiet. After calling several places that were a bit pricier than we anticipated, we... More

We took a trip from San Francisco to the Redwoods National Park via the Pacific Coast Hwy. This Inn was a perfect stop-over along the way. We were only staying for one night but made the most our stay by exploring the beautiful coastline. The beach along Shelter Cove was made up of smooth black pebbles and large boulders. It... More

We have a wine tour company in Napa Valley and we know about hospitality. They have it here. Justin is the manager and very friendly. The room is exquisite, with hot tub overlooking the ocean below. Crashing waves and a beautiful sunset were also included. Additionally, there is a InfraRed sauna which was a delight before stepping into the hot... More

The view is great but the building needs a major facelift. Also nothing there. Only place to eat was across the street and it was disgusting. Hotel offered free internet but no information on how to access. They were closed by the time we were settled so nobody to call to find out. No book or info like normal hotels... More

Pluses: Hotel staff is ultra friendly upon arrival. Hot tub on oceanfront deck, ping pong table, book nook, BBQ...for all to use. In room jacuzzi and fireplace is a really nice touch. Kitties roaming around call your room home if you desire :-) . Incredible view from upstairs room of the entire coastline. Isolated and quiet, romantic setting. Minuses: no... More

Large room, great view. Good amenities in the room ( fridge, microwave, coffee maker). Massive bed. Room quality is standard chain hotel type. Parking available. Free wifi in the room. TV did not work-they deducted $20 from the bill. Stayed 2 nights. Good "no-frills" motel type place to stay. Would have thought it would be a bit cheaper though.
