We had a fantastic time at Lighthouse Ranch, a very large property near Point Arena Lighthouse and conveniently near a local diner.
Unreal view from the living/dining room here. Just astonishingly beautiful. Every morning, you wake up and walk into the main room and just stand in awe of the 180+ view: mountains, Hwy 1 far below, pasture, ocean, hills, lighthouse.
We have 5yo and 2yo daughters, and the stay was really perfect for all of us. Great beds in three bedrooms, two baths, for us and for the girls. This seems like an older property that has been lovingly updated. Kid-friendly, super clean; with windows open, fresh air abounds. As an older seaside property, there are some musty scents here and there as one might expect. Owners use a few air fresheners.
We would heartily recommend staying here. It worked very well with 2 adults and 2 small children, with plenty of room to spare. Point Arena is such a lovely area, with a quaint downtown and a playground right off Hwy 1, and the Cove in particular seems not to be missed, along with the lighthouse. We can't wait to come back.
