Motel Inverness

"I love the Pt. Reyes National Shoreline, and have been hiking along the beaches there for many years. However, as my mother has been getting older, and more sedentary, she prefers sitting on a porch - either watching birds in the marsh or reading a good book. We found the innkeepers to be charming and helpful. Either by giving us space to be alone with each other, or in giving us excellent recommendations for places to go for nature drives and short walks, or where to eat dinner. In the evenings - there was a full stack of firewood that they had put out, and we could light a nice fire to enjoy with tea or a glass of wine. Other guests would talk with us or sit with their families playing board games and such. I am so excited to be going back - as my mother and I just booked another few days and we intend to get 2023 off to a good start. Bird watching on the bay, short strolls on the beach, maybe even catching sight of a Tule elk or two!"

"The best Motel ever stayed. This Motel is beyond what is imagined when heard and book a place called Motel. This motel has luxury, vintage homey vibes with warm cozy blanket,clean room, modern sink n has everything you need in the room. The lobby has puzzle, billiards game to play, snack, coffee and tea to enjoy, outside lobby has a sitting patio to relax n enjoy bird watching. Stayed for 2 nights and a best location to stay to visit Point Reyes Lighthouse and Cypress tree tunnel, also near to point Reyes station to walk around for restaurant and stores. Definitely will stay again when visiting Point Reyes Lighthouse."

"Extra cozy spot to relax,chat, think, and read. Well appointed with shampoo, body wash, lotion and the best cozy comfy linens. We spent a lot of time chatting and browsing in the Lodge, the main guest house for all to share, which was empty most of our time there. It has lots of interesting books and things to look at. Coffee and a bite to eat can be found also. Lovely to sit near the window and watch the birds, warmed by a lap blanket. Not a place meant for kids; its that quiet, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Off the beaten path, so unlikely ride sharing cars are available. Highly recommend. We'd love to return!"

"My husband and I were headed south along the PCH and I wanted to make Point Reyes/Inverness our starting point. I am so glad I found Motel Inverness! Mara and Todd were the sweetest, our room was so clean and cute, and the views were the absolute best. The location is perfect too for sightseeing (being right on Sir Francis Drake Blvd); the Cypress Tree Tunnel, Chimney Rock Trail and Point Reyes Lighthouse are all within a 30 minute drive. Honestly, I could've stayed all weekend - we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great stay :)"

"Our stay at Motel Inverness was wonderful and we plan to return. Our room was pristine and lovely – soft colors, high quality linens, and super comfy bed. Situated on Tomales Bay, the surroundings are beautiful. We were content to hang out on the big deck looking out at the water and birds with coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The spacious common room with its large fireplace and big comfortable couches was also a great place to relax and unwind. The motel is close to beaches, parks, Point Reyes Station, the lighthouse, and some top quality, fun restaurants. The innkeepers, Mara and Todd, are exceptional – they are very knowledgeable about the area. Also, they truly care about the comfort of their guests and treat people with kindness and respect. This is a perfect place for a quiet, peaceful getaway."
