Bodega Bay Lodge

I dreamt of staying here for 12 years and finally had the chance to visit with my wife and 15 year old son. Even he was nearly teary-eyed at the thought of leaving. The lodge and experiences are so clean, peaceful and restorative to the soul! The staff is very friendly but not overbearing by seeing to needs without being intrusive. The proximity to such natural beauty and wonderful food and wine was perfect for us. We will return often!

I decided to surprise my wife for her 65th birthday by booking a weeklong stay in Bodega Bay, securing a room with a water view and a fireplace. Mission accomplished! The 2½-hour drive was well worth it. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with professionalism, care, and exemplary service—an experience that continued from check-in through our departure six days later. Being familiar with Bodega Bay, we revisited some of our favorite dining spots and also explored and discovered several new places to eat and enjoy the sights.

Lovely resort, with great customer service. The facility is clean and organized. We also had dinner at Drakes, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The staff were attentive and caring. Due to the cold weather, we did not experience the pool area, but I look forward to going back soon. I'd like to experience the spa and pool area. I would recommend this place for sure!

This is the second time we have stayed at the Lodge and this and this time we chose to stay two nights. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and very clean. The location is stunning. We used the hot tub where we watched the sunset, had drinks in the bar while chatting with the bartender. We had met a young woman in the pool and again in the bar, so we invited her to join our family for dinner. The restaurant changed our table to accommodate an extra diner with no problem. The food was excellent and our Server was friendly and helpful.

Our first getaway with our baby turned out to be terrible. We were staying with our infant and put him to sleep at his usual bedtime at 8 PM. Around 10 PM we smelled smoke in our room and had to move to a different room because it was dangerous to stay there with our infant - imagine packing and unpacking our crib, bags, bottles and trying to calm down a crying baby at the same time in the middle of the night. I think someone at the neighboring rooms started a fireplace and that's where the smoke came from. We barely got any sleep that night since our baby's sleep schedule was interrupted and the new room was very cold, smelled like an old carpet and it took a while to warm it up. This could have ended very bad as inhaling carbon monoxide is life threatening for infants. Dangerous and not worth it - stay away.
