Truly a gorgeous slice of paradise for anyone who loves a romantic getaway on the coast! Specific rooms have better views, in mine you could see the Pacific Ocean from the king sized bed, right next to the roaring fireplace. 10/10 highly recommend Fort Ross Lodge!!!!

Shabby chique with an emphasis on shabby. Our room was dirty and had a slow draining bathroom sink and tub. It is a nice remote location for getting away from the city, however, it was not a nice hotel, especially for over $300 a night.
