great stay, but a bit noisy at night
I appreciated the spacious suite with a fine river view. The grounds are meticulously maintained, and the staff offered really good service throughout our one-night stay.
The noise from the nearby road was somewhat disruptive.

The room was spacious and clean, offering a nice view of the
Creek outside. We really enjoyed our stay, especially the lovely patio where we could relax in the mornings. I wish there had been a fridge in the room for our snacks.

The highlight was the guided tour of the historic Point Sur Lighthouse, where we learned fascinating tales and soaked in amazing views. Rooms were clean and cozy, and my daughter loved playing by the river.
My kids wished there were more family-friendly activities available. It would be great if they had a dedicated play area for children.

The room was spacious and super clean, and I loved the cozy coffee nook, made mornings extra nice. Relaxing by the garden area after a long drive was just what I needed. The seasonal outdoor pool looked inviting. The bathroom was on the smaller side, but it didn't ruin my stay at all. Definitely try the restaurant for a hearty breakfast 😊

Beautiful surroundings enhance the stay, with a spacious suite offering a serene river view and a comfy bed. The dining experience stands out, especially the tasty nachos enjoyed at the riverside restaurant. A frustrating incident regarding a missing pillow cast a shadow over the visit, coupled with minimal room amenities. A lack of trust from management when addressing concerns further dampened the experience.

We loved visiting Point Sur Lighthouse for a guided tour and the nature around the area. Our cabin was cozy, with comfy beds and beautiful decor. The river behind the lodge was perfect, and we enjoyed breakfast by the fireplace. Highly recommend it for a chill getaway!
Only downside was that the restaurant staff seemed a bit unfriendly , which put a small damper on the experience.

The river inn has beautifully clean rooms and super comfortable beds. We loved sipping coffee while enjoying the fine river view right outside our suite. It's a great base for exploring the area, with easy access to attractions both north and south. The staff were also lovely and the dining experience was excellent!

Beautiful riverside setting with cozy decor
I recently enjoyed a lovely stay just steps from the river. The Adirondack chairs right in the water were a unique touch. The food at the restaurant was delicious, especially the local craft beer selection. I wish there were a few more guest-exclusive areas by the river to enhance the experience.

The king size bed was amazing, and waking up to the sound of the river was like music to my ears. I spotted multiple birds as I sipped my coffee by the river, seemed like I was in my own little paradise.
It wasn't cheap, but I guess for a place like this with its beauty, it was still acceptable.
