The property is beautiful and hearing the ocean all night while sleeping was indescribable :) The room was clean and very comfortable. Check in was easy and the staff were so nice and engaging. The location is 10 minutes from Mendocino center and 20 from fort Bragg, very easy drive. It was the perfect end to 4 days hiking and camping on the redwoods:)

Needs updating but beautiful view.
Amazing view but needs work. The property is clearly dated and there is a lack of amenities including outlets to plug in anything. The property requires some updating and yes, I understand the lodge charm but cobwebs and insects inside is not acceptable.

A room with a view
The view was amazing and my room was clean, but the exterior of the buildings and the interior was very dingy and in serious need of paint and a facelift. Lots of cobwebs and one of the windows was missing a screen.
The food in the restaurant was good but very pricey.

Nice Room with a Beautiful View
Nice, bright room with good dark out shades. Fireplace which we did use in July!
Big tub and separate shower - good pressure. The view is wonderful. We watched the fog roll in and out and in again on our little porch. Very quiet. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

It is clear the property is recently under new ownership. The new branding is sharp and modern and beautiful. But the facility hasn't been brought up to that standard yet. The furnishings were well-worn. The rooms have not been renovated - there were patches on the wall, visible screws holding panels up in the bathroom, and a general sense of age.
That said - the location and views from the rooms cannot be beat.
When they finally renovate the rooms to match the new branding, this will be a premium place to stay. Until then, you are paying premium prices for the location and view.

Cabin needed updated. Restaurant was way overpriced. No tv in room. No complimentary breakfast. Just not worth what we paid for the cabin. The view was stunning though.
