Great views from the room, near many coastal hiking trails, near Point Arena for any necessities. The room has a small refrigerator & a microwave which is a plus. I have stayed here 3 times, twice in the Keeper ’s Room.

Bed was a little to hard to sleep on and one of the besides lights sometimes glitched but would recommend and we will be staying again. Down side not a lot of good food options around the area so plan accordingly.

Ducha beautiful and unique stay. The apartment was very clean. Loved having a kitchen to cook our own meals. The view and surrounding area are unbelievable. You get a free tour of the light house and a free mini bottle of wine, which are nice additions. Definitely looking forward to coming back here.

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving break at the Point Arena Lighthouse Lodging! The views were absolutely stunning, and our room had everything we needed, spotless, cozy, and perfect for unwinding. We truly relaxed, recharged, and enjoyed every minute of it.

I really like the room. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom and shower are roomy. And the scenery is great. The museum and hiking around are great to.
Best view was when washing dishes in sink. Well equipped. Sitting area not ideal as fireplace offset from couch.

Everyone did their best to make sure the experience was a great one, from the housekeepers to the lighthouse executive director to the museum staff. Great base from which to explore the surrounding areas.
