The Black Heron Inn 51 Cypress Road, Point Reyes Station, CA 94956

"This a serene, peaceful getaway spot. The rooms have a vast view of native fields, the hills of Inverness and peeking out in the distance, the water of Tomales Bay. No houses, no cars, no construction, just birdsong and breezes. Deer families graze on the property, hawks fly overhead. Mist comes in off the hills at the sunset...this is a restful place. Mamie is a gracious host. The spacious rooms are comfortable, with generous seating by the window for gazing, writing, reading, drawing...There are only 3 rooms so even with a full house there is solitude available. The inn is a few minutes drive from Point Reyes which has groceries and several cafes / restaurants. There are several seafood spots up the coast which are fresh and memorable. EV drivers take note, there is a Tesla Supercharger station 10 minutes south of here in the parking lot of Due West Tavern / Olema house. Amenities: fast Internet, coffee pot with coffee/tea, fridge, microwave, full dish set, TV, robe."

"The hotel and property are fantastic, with incredible views of Tomales Bay and the surrounding hills from the panoramic windows and expansive deck. Conveniently located, exceptionally quiet and peaceful. The rooms lack bathtubs, but that's honestly the only complaint I can come up with. On the pricey side, but well worth it."

"This hotel is perfect. Large, extremely spacious rooms. Great view, with a short hiking distance to Tomales Bay views. Quiet place, with animals roaming in the area. (We saw a deer on the porch.) I could speak forever about this inn, but I won't."

"The room (Grand View) was perfectly clean, spatious, very quiet. Nice bathroom. The well-stocked mini kitchen made it easy to have a low-hey dinner in the room. The view is perfect, looking out onto the rolling hills around Tomales Bay. The hotel is very well maintainted, with a lovely flower garden and pond, and deer grazing by. The self check in is very convenient. A full hearted recommendation."

"The Black Heron Inn was the best surprise of our California vacation, mainly due to the comfort & hominess of the room, the views, and the quiet peacefulness of the location. Point Reyes Station is not a big town, and the Inn is on outskirts, with a protected state reserve in the back yard. Some of the highlights: - The sunset the only night we were there was one of the most beautiful I can remember, all viewable from our room and porch. - My wife and I went for a short hike in the adjacent park, which was not only convenient but beautiful. - There is a beautiful garden out back with fruits and flowers. - There is no hot breakfast, but rather the room was stocked with cereal, fruits, homemade banana bread, milk, yogurt. We wish that we had booked more nights than we did, as this was such a peaceful and beautiful place."
