This was our third time at the Inn. Like a lot of places in Gualala they were greatly affected by the pandemic.  BUT, despite everything not being perfect it still is one of the most romantic places I've ever been to.  As some would say: "A view to die for." ❤  If your looking for a great place to take the love of your life you need to go here.  The owner: "Miren" was very helpful and the provided breakfasts were delicious.  We had been boiling in the summer heat but not here.  One morning it was in the 50s and totally fogged in - neat!  Every 'suite' is unique. Ours had a fireplace and a spiral staircase up to shower and jacuzzi.  Bed, and bedding, very comfortable.  Enjoy 😃

A VERY romantic experience and worth every dime.

If you're ever in this neck of the woods---especially in springtime---stop by this lovely place tucked away above Anchor Bay. It is special. And be sure to spend a little time with Miren, one half of the couple who own/run the WWInn. You'll know why when you do. I've been here twice, though 40 years apart in visits, and it hasn't lost any of it's charm and character. Ask for the Bath Suite...you won't be disappointed. 

This is one of those "bucket list" places to stay in your lifetime

A romantic getaway with stunning views from the secluded bay and private beach, tastefully decorated room, amazing gourmet breakfast, and a wonderful host. 

Anchor Bay and Gualala, minutes south of the Inn, provides a variety of dining options. 

Romantic Getaway 

THE BREADFAST IN BED WAS FANTASTIC;    tHE VIEWS WERE FANTASTIC
THE PRIVATE HOT TUB OUTSIDE ON OUR DECK WAS FANTASTIC;     COMING INSIDE TO A FIRE IN THE FIREPLACE in our room  WAS FANTASTIC'             THE BED WAS FANTASTIC w perfect sheets and pillows
From   sf, WE DROVE TO MENDOCINO FIRST AND HAD DINNER there AND THEN DROVE to the INN   ( 40 min away)  and got in the hot tub with rain falling on our heads and it was perfect.   Sea Ranch chapel is 20 min. away.    It was a memorable experience and we will be back.    

FANTASTIC IN MANY WAYS; A PERFECT GETAWAY 2.5 HRS. FROM sf

We discovered Whale Watch Inn years ago and have returned to celebrate our anniversary every 5 years (since our beginning), regardless of whether we lived in California or elsewhere. We’ve even enjoyed this same room, too: Pacifica. The view is spectacular, soothing, ever changing. Miren and Robert are outstanding hosts, providing privacy but checking to see if we need anything, and Miren is a remarkable cook. Breakfasts are beautifully presented, perfectly prepared, and filling…keeping us going most of the day while we explore the forests, wineries, towns, galleries, shoreline trails, and more. This trip, as with all the previous ones, has helped us slow down and feel renewed in life and to each other. This year is our 40th anniversary. ❤️ See you in 5, Miren. 🙂

Still a remarkable experience at a spectacular location

We got in late from the bay area, but Miren the inn keeper stayed up for us greeted us warmly, and made sure we got settled in with everything we needed.  She was very friendly and helpful our entire stay.   Our room "Sea Bounty" was -- WOW.  Vaulted ceilings with window walls facing the ocean from the living room and bedroom.   The rooms were filled with views of the dramatic Gualala coast, and the Inn's beautiful grounds.   Morning and evening we took the stairs down the cliff for an invigorating walk on the beach.    Hated to leave.

Magical location, welcoming hostess.

Miren is a fabulous hostess and inn keeper and delivered on a great experience.  The property is absolutely stunning and provided a most unique and relaxing overnight for our anniversary.   Each room is expertly designed to give you exposure to the relaxing views.  A walk down the stairs to the beach below is so worth the effort.  Overall it’s a great value and we hope to return.   Thank you Miren for great conversation and hospitality!

Great Experience & Value

Came for 36th Anniversary.  Absolutely amaazing Million Dollar Uninterrupted View of the Ocean from all rooms and angle !  Very hospitable, friendly owners/host.  Delicious Hot breakfast.  Can’t get this kind of service from hotels.  Definitely one of the Best Bed&Breakfast we ever stayed in !  We shall definitely come back again.  Thank you Merin & Robert for having us !

Million Dollar View ! Million dollar Hospitality!

Whale Watch Inn is everything you dream about for an absolutely relaxing vacation!  From the room to the property to the food to the views, Whale Watch Inn is absolutely breathtaking.  No phones; no television; just pure relaxation!  Miren and Robert, the Innkeepers, are the most genuinely wonderful people.  They are truly special (along with Sophie and Rocky, their wonderful dogs).  We so enjoyed talking with them each morning when our delicious breakfast was delivered to our room.  We stayed in the Heartsong Room, which had a hot tub on the deck, which we utilized each evening of our stay.  The clear, starry skies and peacefulness of the surroundings gave our stay that extra-added touch.  It really pulled at our heartstrings when we had to check-out and leave this beautiful, serene inn.  Do yourself a favor in your lifetime and plan a more-than-one-night stay (we were there 4 nights) at this amazing property.  You won't be sorry!!!  We can only dream of returning one day.  ~~Elaine & Chuck (Coffee-maker in room) :-)

Words Really Can't Describe...

Love Love Love this hidden gem.  Wonderful place for an anniversary.  Romantic, private beach, delish breakfasts and NO TV or Phones!!!  Quiet and peaceful.  Off the beaten path.  And hopefully, if you're lucky, you will see some whales while you're there.
