“A comfortable inn in a lovely small town.”
A lovely inn in a great town. The staff was nice and helpful, the room had a great view at the ocean and there’s a pizza place inside the building.

“Beautifully located inn in gorgeous remote town”
Shelter cove is a beautiful place, though a little hard to get to. The inn is in a great spot with all the rooms looking out over the ocean we watched the sun set over the pacific from our room. The staff was lovely and helpful.

Shelter Cove is a lovely place to visit. Our view of the ocean from our private deck was awesome. However, the road from Garberville to Shelter Cove is 24 miles, and it takes 46 minutes. Come prepared.
