This coastal village serves as your gateway to Point Reyes National Seashore's wild beaches and hiking trails. Fuel up at Cowgirl Creamery or Bovine Bakery before exploring the nearby oyster farms and dramatic lighthouse views.
Lovely lodge hotel in the middle of a historic nature park. We booked the suite which was perfect for the three of us. Lovely little details such as local coffee, overall great for the price. Be aware though there was no aircon so when we arrived the room was really hot. And although coffee and fruit are offered (free!) there is no breakfast although they have a small shop you can buy items from.

Really friendly reception staff.
Clean, well decorated and appointed property. Small room but nice. Pretty good small gym.
Only slight issue was soundproofing, kept hearing doors slamming through the night.
About a 10 minute walk into Petaluma centre and safe surrounding area. Loved Petaluma, really nice area that we didn't know much about - loads of nice bars, restaurants, cafes etc.
Overall would definitely stay again.
