Wharf Master's Inn

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at the Wharf Master’s Inn over Mother’s Day weekend. Karen is an exceptional host who truly goes above and beyond—her attention to detail made our visit feel extra special. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, featuring charming planters, tranquil fountains, and plenty of activities to enjoy. The rooms are incredibly cozy, and the beds are very comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind. The fireplace adds an extra special touch and creates such a warm, inviting atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing and memorable getaway—we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful location Luxurious rooms and amenities Very helpful staff and owner Super laid back vibe Top notch ocean/wharf views

We had the most wonderful first visit to Point Arena this weekend, and Wharf Masters Inn made it absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Karen greeted us with such warmth that we knew right away we were in good hands. Our room (113) was comfortable, clean, and exactly what we needed after a long drive. The inn is just minutes from the lighthouse, which made exploring so easy. Kelly from the restaurant staff was super friendly and a great way to start the mornings — but the real highlight of our stay came Saturday night. Our group of 10 was hungry and couldn't find a restaurant that could accommodate us, and Karen worked pure magic — she whipped up a homemade seafood cioppino with the most delicious garlic bread and made sure all ten of us had a proper dinner. That kind of hospitality is rare and it genuinely moved us. We later found out that Karen and Cliff are the owners, and honestly, it all made sense. The care they put into this place shows in every detail and in every interaction. And the property itself is just gorgeous — the garden area is beautifully kept and the ocean lookout spots are absolutely breathtaking. We could have spent hours just taking it all in. We are already planning our return trip and can't wait to bring more friends and family to experience Point Arena and this gem of an inn. Highly, highly recommend!

Beautiful! Loved the hotel, the views of the coast are stunning. Rooms very comfortable. Owner is lovely! We will be going back.

Had a wonderful time staying here for my birthday weekend. The view from our balcony was terrific. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff very nice. Had a nice breakfast too. Small beach and pier, a few shops and restaurants very close by. If you are looking for a place that is tucked away on the Northern California Coast, this is the place.

Fantastic. Awesome. Beautiful.

"We just spent a week at Wharf Masters Inn for our anniversary, and it was a beautiful, peaceful treasure. We couldn’t have imagined a more romantic or relaxing setting. Karen truly went above and beyond to make us feel like we were in a 'home away from home.' Her local insights and restaurant recommendations were spot on and made our stay even better. We had a wonderful experience and are already looking forward to our next visit!"

An amazing spot with a nice view. A huge room with a balcony, everything was as advertised.

Great location, great view, immaculately clean room, easy to find, congenial staff, great food next door!

Karen made us all feel welcome. The Wharf House has amazing Views and the rooms are very comfortable and clean.
