    Perfect Lighthouse Stay

    It cannot be helped -- there weren't many restaurants available around the area, being that it's small town. We did enjoy the only Mexican restaurant, we ended up going twice. Yes, it was that good.

    The view from our windows were amazing. On the door window, we had the view of the lighthouse and the other window, the coast and the ocean. The room was clean and cozy with all the amenities we could ask for. It was perfect for me and my two young girls. We loved walking around the vast property. The electric fireplace kept the room warm and toasty. The bed was comfortable and there was another cozy blanket available just case. Refrigerator, microwave, wine and glasses, wifi, and even first aide kit!

    The only problem was that there was a power outage for several hours. The rooms had a lantern, flashlight and instructions so it was obviously a relatively common occurrence. It wasn’t an issue for us. Because the facility is on a well there was no water. This would have been the one down side if the outage had been longer.

    Being out at the lighthouse was amazing. Our room was small but very comfortable. We had the most amazing view of the lighthouse and ocean from our room. The amount of open space around the lighthouse was incredible. It was wonderful being able to walk the area.

    Our room had no dresser in which to put our clothes so we had to live out of our suitcases. we also noticed a few small bugs, n doubt seeking shelter from the weather. They weren't annoying, but they were there.

    The location is stunning. The views, even in the inclement weather we experienced were none the less spectacular!

    We ran late coming from the redwoods and thus sadly arrived at night when it was dark and our phones wouldn’t work in the area but we didn’t worry as we figured finding the mail box with our info would be easy but it was very difficult as there is not way to find the office and we assumed what ended up being the office was a rental room so we didn’t want to be peeking around peoples rooms so we went all around Al the other buildings - highly recommend that an office sign be added or a little light over the mailbox for folks coming in after sun down and who can’t get cell service as it’s common in that area! Everything else after this part was lovely! I did think there were going to be chairs to sit on outside and that the room was bigger but the location is so amazing you look past these things!

    The sound of the ocean while going to bed and the lighthouse cat were both amazing!!

    We would have to be super bad people to say something we didn’t liked at the Point Arena Lighthouse. This place is too good to be true. I just can’t get enough of the place. Loved it, every single second I stayed at the lighthouse. Just sharing, it’s nothing important but Since we cooked our food and didn’t eat out we wanted to clean the dishes using the dishwasher. But we didn’t had any dish soap pods. They weren’t available at the town either . 1-2 pods if someone is staying there for 2 days would be an awesome idea.

    The place is so awesome, can’t complain about anything. This is so good I would definitely visit again. The place had a personal touch to everything and took care of every little thing that a family would need. If someone likes to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything a chef would need. Loved everything. Can’t complain.

    The Beauty and History of the Lighthouse....Pacific Ocean......Full Moon.....is too difficult to put into words and along with that...the assistance from all that worked at the property added to the complete enjoyment and appreciation. The walking trails, the information about the entire area and history was helpful prompting fun time exploring. Check-in was very easy and safe without being restricted to exact time of arrival....nice when on vacation.

    The walls in the Bookkeeper's Room were very thin.

    Nice room, many thoughtful touches like the coffee set up and a small bottle of wine with wine glasses and chocolate to enjoy. The next morning we walked to the lighthouse and climbed the 145 steps to the top. Interesting and great views from up there. Welcoming place and fun to explore.

    Local restaurants were mostly all closed on Monday/Tuesdays. Not very many options except the casino. They let kids in, had good food, and we won, haha! So that worked out!

    So cool to have a fireplace with wood provided. We loved walking to the estuary!

    We loved being so close to the ocean and the amazing hiking trails. Hearing the crashing waves at night was a highlight as well as the sounds and flights of all the birds. The gift store had so many nice and thoughtful gifts for sale and the lighthouse tour guide was super fun and informative. Having everything at our doorstep was very cool.

    Overall good, but room didn't have the represented TV streaming services

    I have to reduce my score by two because the online listing (and in-room materials) represented the Keeper's Room as having complementary streaming services (both specifically mentioned Netflix). However, the Keeper's Room did NOT have any streaming services when we stayed. The TV in the room was an older ("dumb") TV and did not have any streaming devices hooked up to it (e.g. a Roku, Flex, etc.). Instead, it only had a DVD player (with some DVDs provided in the room) and a satellite TV device that did not include any other streaming service. I hope they fix this soon because I feel like it was a misrepresentation of the room - my wife and I had specifically booked the room because we planned to watch Netflix the evening after we arrived before going to bed.

    My wife and I stayed in the Keeper's Room, which is the 1 queen bed studio with private bath. It was a beautiful room, and the staying out on the coast near the lighthouse is amazing. It's so beautiful out there (although you might have to wait for the fog to clear). Comfortable bed and hot water. A small place to keep, heat, and eat your own food (although no kitchen, and no real food access other than what you bring for yourself). It's also run by a non-profit that maintains the very cool lighthouse and is worth the (complementary) trip inside. Overall recommend the experience and location for the price.

    The bed frame was bit weak and squeaky it moved from the wall when you moved a little or got into bed like the mattress was too light or something? Other than that it was great!

    Location, cleanliness, views, layout of apartment and the arena mina cat! It was amazing they had plenty of dishes and appliances for cooking and baking. Loved the fireplace and the window blinds that were adjustable so we could get that sea breeze but maintain privacy. Can't wait to return.
