My husband and I went to the 50th anniversary celebration of the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. We live about 90 minutes away and didn't want to drive far after the event so decided in advance to make a weekend out of it. Everywhere we'd been before was completely booked but my husband saw Abalone Inn on the Internet and called.... More

While the woman was kind and the old house was quirky and beautiful, I had to write this for people to know in advance. there is no hot breakfast here, simply a basket, which apparently can be given to you the night before, which consists of a Activa yogurt, a muffin, a hardboiled egg, and an apple. I might be... More

When I mailed our check in advance, I hoped staying at the Abalone Inn would add a special dimension to our short week on Pt Reyes. In fact, we had such a good time, we cannot imagine staying anywhere else in the area in the future and look forward to a return visit as soon as we can. When we... More

I want you to imagine your aunt and uncle in California have this neat old house. She and her husband are very comfortable but since it's their house and it's old they have a way they like things done.

You can't even use the facilities comfortably. Not to mention the set rules on everything! She was friendly to my husband and even asked for his email right in front of... More

My husband & I escaped to Pt. Reyes for the weekend and stayed in the Garden room here. The room was clean and comfortable. Donna was open and helpful. It's an old house that is not particularly well insulated from other noises within the house, and it has a delicate septic system. So, yes, there are a few rules. And,... More

Over the years my wife and I have ALWAYS been happy at the Abalone Inn, a B+B in Point Reyes, CA. We were there just two weekends ago, and not only were we happy, but the house was full of returnees, all of us talking about how much we have enjoyed Abalone Inn, our hostess Donna, the hot tub, for...

I had driven up from Monterey and out to the point when I realized I needed more time in the area. They were recommended as "maybe" dog friendly and after quizzing me about my sweet ten year old dog had me come over to see the room, which was a converted back sun room. Donna invited me in for a...
