By far the best place to stay in Shelter Cove. We ended up at this hotel late one evening and the manager hooked us up with an amazing room, The room had a jacuzzi right by a view of the ocean which was breath taking. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms are very spacious. Just an amazing experience! The views from each hotel room are unbelievable! The owner of the hotel was very sweet an very pleasant to work with. Great price for all that we got in a one night package for sure. Also the breakfasts are very good ! 1rst class Hotel I must say. And best yet they have a pizza /restaurant right next door 10 stars plus for all! Thank you , Rena and Michael

Husband and I came out with the dogs to enjoy and experience Shelter Cove. The Inn of the Lost Coast did not disappoint. Abby was super friendly during check-in and check-out. The room was immaculate with a comfy bed, fireplace, fridge and coffee maker! We were greeted with friendly deer as soon as we opened the back door to the patio. We all enjoyed sleeping with the back door open, listening to waves crash all night as God's perfect A/C lulled us to sleep. Black Sands Bistro has the best coffee on the coast and highly recommend anything from their menu, especially the homemade french toast with orange syrup. Mi Mochima across the street was amazing for dinner. We'll definitely be returning.

My wife and I stayed with our dog for two nights in a suite with an in-room tub and sauna. Exceeded expectations! Such a relaxing and romantic getaway at a very fair price. Cozy and worth a visit, even in the rain.

We were heading down to Santa Rosa, with a stop over in Ferndale. Decided to take a detour at the last minute to Shelter Cove and I'm so glad we did! While to steep mountain climb up, then down, with endless sharp turns was daunting, we loved the end result of Shelter Cove. We both thought about getting a room for the night and happened upon Inn of the Lost Coast. The gentleman at the reception was wonderful helping us to get the best deal for one night and gave us a great room with a wonderful ocean view of the King Tides. He recommended restaurants and places to view the sunset and the King Tides, in addition to giving us a history of the area. I wish we were staying more than one night.|The room was nice with a small kitchenette, very clean, and homey feeling. Plenty of pillows and blankets.bi would definitely come back and I've already recommended it to others.

The Inn of The Lost Coast is situated perfectly on the coast to listen to and watch the waves. Waking up and going to sleep with that sound soothes the soul. The rooms are super comfortable and roomy and the staff go above and beyond. Good food is at the hotel and also a short walk away and there's always entertainment in this small town, and NO TRAFFIC. We loved our walks down the coast in the mornings and hanging out at different spots each night at sunset, drink in hand and friendly people nearby. 11 out of 10

We stayed her for New Years Eve for several years in a row. One year we got snowed in at sea level which was extremely odd. Great remote place to disconnect and relax as you take in the breath taking view. The hotel is right on the cliffs over looking the ocean and is simply magnificent! I would say it’s definitely a remote romantic get away place. Cell service was t so great out there which worked out great for us. Lauren who is in charge of the establishment is very accommodating and is super nice! The rooms are a little dated and nothing fancy but clean. The place could definitely use an upgrade in many areas when it comes to the aesthetics of the overall hotel. They definitely could use some updated bedding, mattresses, towels, pillows etc.
However we always bring our own bedding so it didn’t bother me too much. All though it may be deficient in a few areas, the overall experience and charm of the place make up for it. The above constructive feedback is definitely not a reason not to visit this charming sweet spot. We will forever cherish our time spent there. 💗
