Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Location was peaceful and secluded. Room was clean and quiet. Walking access to store across the street was a big plus.
We loved our overnight stay at Fort Ross Lodge during our ride up the coast. Josh was such a personable and kind host. The views were lovely and we especially enjoyed morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs facing the water and a couple soaks in the hot tub on our patio. We had a tasty breakfast Sammie from the lodge shop. Timber Cove resort just one mile north was lovely for a burger and live music. Would love to return!
We liked the view of the ocean. Saw plenty of whales. However my wife is short and it was difficult for her to get in the bed since it was high. She also had a hard time getting in and out of the tub because the tub side was high and there were no grab bars.
What a wonderful find it was for us. Great location, wonderful sizable cabin like room. Loved the patio that had both the Jacuzzi and a coal BBQ in it. We also loved the fireplace in the room. It was perfect to use it when it got cold at night. All this while facing an amazing view of the ocean and the forest that leads to it. Few wonderful trails on the property for you to explore the wonderful area. A breath taking sunset is something to look forward for when there is no fog over the water.
It’s situated and perfectly placed rooms are great. The room’s cleanliness needs a bit of tweaking. There was a pretzel under one bed, the floors & baseboards behind the beds is dirty, and the bathroom floor had debris in the corners.
I would also recommend adding another towel hook or bar as the towels didn’t dry over night.
Regarding Summer, the cat: my niece and I think that she would really be happier inside. She is startled by every sound and movement, and she would really love to play. I was able to play with her using some plant material and I am sure she’d enjoy a catnip toy or two. Anyhoo, I think she would respond to patient & gentle encouragement to join you indoors.

The room was spacious, there are windows high up that allow you to see the stars at night. The bathroom was newly renovated and beautiful. So was the living area, you could enjoy the view of the ocean, and we just loved the stay.
Our stay was most enjoyable! Our room had an ocean view, a deep soaking tub and the perfect amount of kitchenette amenities for the one night we were there.
All contacts with office staff were friendly and helpful.
We definitely will be back!
The owners were friendly and accommodating. It was convenient to have the Fort Ross store across the street. It’s charming and rustic, but a work in progress.
