The Sea Ranch Lodge in Sonoma offers a serene coastal retreat with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and rugged cliffs. The architecture blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a peaceful ambiance perfect for relaxation. The rooms are beautifully designed with minimalist, yet comfortable, decor, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle. The on-site restaurant serves fresh, locally sourced dishes, enhancing the overall experience. It’s also a great destination for weddings, with its stunning coastal backdrop providing the perfect setting for intimate, unforgettable ceremonies. Additionally, it's an ideal venue for off-site retreats, offering tranquility and seclusion for corporate events or wellness retreats. With its peaceful atmosphere and scenic surroundings, it’s the perfect spot to inspire creativity and reflection. However, the remote location might not be for those seeking urban amenities.

I was here on business for a few days. A beautiful and quiet place to work remotely. I loved the bartenders and the dining room at night. My room was very quiet and the wifi was good. I was able to get service when I needed without being bothered by housekeeping on days that I didnt need service. Overall, lovely experience.

From the moment Erica in Guest services/reservation answered the phone she was so accommodating ! I was changing my reservation. She was patient and lovely. This was our first time at Sea Ranch lodge and it was amazing! The property is magical, and the ethos of tuning into nature brings balance back to the visitor. You can feel the history of the reverence for nature all around. No TV in the room, yeh! Dreamy beds and bedding. The views of the majestic dramatic coast line are incomparable! The trails take you along the coasts breathtaking views. It all puts you in a state of tranquility and gratitude. |Every single staff member was so lovely. The bartender Trace is a true mixologist, engaging person and just lovely. We were celebrating some good news and this enhanced our experience around it beyond words! Thank you all at Sea Ranch Lodge! We will be making an annual trip to see you again and again! Monica

This was our first stay after the place has changed owner and was renovated. The rooms have really received a wonderful clean-up and are as gorgeous as ever. There is nothing like staring at the ocean from the bay windows in the room. |But the service is really disorganized in the lodge and needs professional management. During dinner our appetizers appeared promptly, but the main course took another one and a quarter hour. We had to go and look for the manager to ask about our food. When he finally came by he said he would check in with us later, which never happened. |Don't book the room option with breakfast. Breakfast is very limited. It is just a coffee shop with very limited choices, several of which were not available during our stay. They were out of yoghurt so could not make a parfait. They also refused to provide eggs as they "had to be saved" for some other options. This happened two mornings in a row. Active management would have just gone to the supermarket and bought more eggs and yoghurt. We felt particularly cheated since we booked the room WITH breakfast assuming it would be breakfast in the restaurant.

This is a family oriented hotel so please know this before you go! Children were lying on the sofas in the bar lounge and sitting on the floor in the hallway from the bar to the dining room.

Note you must make a reservation at least the night before or you cannot dine for dinner there (they close reservations). They do have a more limited bar menu you can order from though!

The staff were very nice and friendly. Bartender was great! Food was okay, salad was underdressed. I would’ve asked for extra normally but they were understaffed. They were so overwhelmed, they forgot to give me a silverware set and I had to remind them for water. I offered to order directly from the bar versus my table when the host told me they were understaffed, because as someone who works in service I understand it can be tough. It is clear they aren’t managed well. Management should ensure the staff has the resources to succeed, especially given the price point. I would’ve expected it to be more polished and a smooth experience. There are so many better places to go in this area that care about their customers.

The grounds are lovely and there’s a wonderful view of the sunset! The architecture is also beautiful. My cheese plate was beautiful with fresh fruit.

(restaurant review)
Lunch: five stars. Great food with a wonderful view. Will definitely come back for lunch.
Dinner: three stars. Fantastic service but the food was only so-so, and there's no view at night to make up for it. High hotel food prices.

Truly stunning location. The home we booked (foothill close) was even better than the photos, spotless, and perfectly equipped. Amenities and service were beyond top notch. Loved the privacy of being out in the community rather than holed up in the main lodge - just a few minutes drive down the scenic 1.

Will be back as soon as I can afford!
