Book Cheap Hotels in Anchor Bay

The owners and managers are trying so hard to make this property "nicer" than it is! I give them lots of credit for trying. All the basics are there: Pros: very comfortable bed; breakfast quite nice as promised (except not a single fruit item -- that was disappointing!); clean rooms; good water pressure in the shower. Cons: room (1 queen) was SO TINY: basically just a small passage around the perimeter of the bed. The breakfast was supposed to start at 8:30 (already a bit late, I thought), but both mornings we were there, the managers didn't quite have it out for another 10 or so minutes. Worst thing, maybe totally beyond their control, is that the doors/walls are NOT soundproof. Some construction workers/tree trimmers were staying there, and both mornings, someone was talking on his cellphone BEFORE 6:30AM, seemingly just outside our door (but probably farther away and just really bad soundproofing). Conclusion: for the price, I shouldn't complain. But let's not kid ourselves: it's a solid 2-diamond property, NOT rivaling the 3-diamond one next door.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place has character. It's not cookie counter. The second floor views of the ocean are great. The road is between you and the ocean so their are some sounds from the freeway but we were not disturbed by them. I loved hearing the oean. Food was quite decent. Shops were easy to walk to. I appreciated both microwave and small frig. Two markets close by. I'd stay there again.

Very private and quite! Off the beaten path a little peace of heaven.

Very cozy cottage. It was very clean upon arrival and the house was completely stocked with everything you would need minus groceries! Has a washer/dryer and a BBQ. The downstairs deck looks into the forest and the upstairs deck over looks the ocean. Very beautiful and quiet! No cell phone service, which was good for us. FYI....you are just a few minutes from the town of Gualala, which has good services (groceries, fuel and restaurants). However you are about 1.5 hours from Fort Bragg, Bodega Bay, or Anderson Valley, but the drives are gorgeous. Our only two complaints is that the beach that is within walking distance from the house is private access and littered with no trespassing signs and there is only a small shower stall for bathing. Otherwise it is the perfect place to just get away and hide while on vacation. We hope to visit again.

Sea Ranch Lodge echoes the architecture of Sea Ranch--modernist, wood and glass construction. Rooms are comfortable and not over the top but nice beds/linens and bathrooms. Staff is LOVELY--welcoming, helpful, cheerful. It's a lovely retreat.
