Fort Ross Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This was a really nice place to stay. The place itself is very old, but they do an excellent job of keeping it clean and maintaining it as well as they can. They had a working hot tub, which was very nice. They had a little path with some chairs so you could just relax and see the ocean, which was also nice. All of the rooms have sliding glass doors into a back patio, which was also very nice. We brought our dog and it was a great place for us to be able to take her on walks. The staff were top notch. Very helpful and so very kind."

"By far the greatest travel destination for an anniversary. The view is stunning, the staff are amazing. The jetted tubs and fireplaces in the rooms were perfect. Mid 50 degrees at night and near 70 during the day on Aug 2. Wow. Get the pizza down the hill, you won’t regret it. All in all… perfection."
