Relaxing

Everything was good except the pillow topper was to soft for me. I prefer a firmer bed.

About the host

Hosted by Point Arena Lighthouse Lodging

Host profile image

The Point Arena Lighthouse Keepers, Inc. (PALKI) is a 501(c)(30 non-profit that owns the 23 acre Light Station and all its buildings and structures. We receive no funding from any government or charitable institutions, we are completely dependent on our lodging revenue, museum and Tower tours, Light Station Store sales and PALKI memberships to keep the light shining in our 154th year.

Why they chose this property

The wild and remote Mendocino coast of California is beautiful, unique, rugged, soul stirring and very private. We are surrounded on 3 sides by the Pacific Ocean and on the 4th by the 1,665 acre Point Arena-Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument. The nearest town is the city of Point Arena, which is 4.5 miles south of us.

What makes this property unique

The Point Arena Light Station #496 was established in 1869 and the original Lighthouse was first lit on May 1, 1870. The vacation cottages and studios on the property were built in 1960 by the U. S. Coast Guard to house the Lightkeepers and their families. 5 of the 7 units have been completely remodeled and updated. Every guest is entitled to unlimited tours of the Indoor Museum, Outdoor Museum and 115' tall Lighthouse Tower. The Station features four unique stone installations including the entry fence (the only one of its kind in the world), the Labyrinth, fanciful "Shiprock" structure and the Druids Circle/Homage to Stonehenge. Watch the gray whales migrate north and south from December through May, humpbacks throughout the year, and other marine mammals. We are an active harbor seal rookery with many pups born annually around March of each year and are a favorite migratory flyby of pelicans, seabirds and geese. With minimal nearby lights our nighttime sky is ablaze with stars and the Milky Way, and we also offer Full Moon Night Tours most months where you get to climb to the top of the 115' tall Lighthouse Tower under a rising full moon. The wild and remote Mendocino coast of California is beautiful, unique, rugged, soul stirring and very private. We are surrounded on 3 sides by the Pacific Ocean and on the 4th by the 1,665 acre Point Arena-Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument which is easily accessible from the property. Finally, you may get to meet the Lighthouse Guest Relations Managers, Arena Mina the Lighthouse Cat and Tasi the Lighthouse Dog!
