Fodor's Expert Review Sea Ranch Lodge

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Wide-open oceanview vistas and minimalist design keep the focus on nature at this tranquil lodge 29 miles north of Jenner. Picture windows overlook trails along the bluff and out to a lofty point. Plank-panel walls and ceilings, goose-down comforters, and robes make the large rooms cozy on foggy nights. Some home rentals are also available. The Black Point Grill ($$$) emphasizes fish, chicken, and beef selections and has several gluten-free offerings and a vegetarian dish or two.
