Please inform us of the total number of pets (3 maximum in Assistant Keeper's House 3, 2 maximum in Bookkeeper's Room, Head Keeper's House, Assistant Keeper's House 2 or Assistant Keeper's House 4) accompanying you. Please read the following, by paying your pet fee you agree to the following:
- As a responsible pet(s) or service animal(s) owner I agree to accept full responsibility for all damages and/or unusual degree of soiling caused by my pet(s) or service animal(s) during my stay at the Point Arena Lighthouse.
- I understand that the costs for the repair of any damages or additional cleaning required (including labor) will be charged accordingly. This includes, but is not limited to, flea treatment, stains, chewing damage, etc.
- I acknowledge that my pet(s) or service animal(s) is required to be current on all required shots and immunizations.
- I acknowledge that I will not leave my pet(s) or service animal(s) unattended in the unit for extended periods of time, i.e. more than 1 hour. If I am going out I will take my pet(s) or service animal(s) with me as being left in a strange location can be stressful to them and cause them to damage furniture or curtains, climb and/or sleep on furniture, bark at passers-by out windows, etc. If I have brought a pet carrier/crate, I will leave my pet(s) or service animal(s) in the pet carrier/crate if I leave them in the unit alone.
- While outside of my unit, I will keep my pet(s) or service animal(s) leashed at all times for the health and safety of other guests and visitors.
- I acknowledge that I will walk my pet(s) or service animal(s) to relieve it of bodily functions on the outer perimeter of the lodging houses as defined by the sidewalks that run in the front, back and sides of each unit. As much as possible, I will keep my pet(s) or service animal(s) away from the side of buildings and flower beds. I am also responsible to clean up any refuse produced by my pet(s) or service animal(s).
- I will not use the bath and kitchen towels provided in the unit to dry or clean my pet(s) or service animal(s). The white towels in the unit are for guests only. (If you have not brought towels for your pet or service animal, S&B Market in Manchester (6 miles north of the Lighthouse on Highway 1) sells towels and other pet items.) We typically leave a towel labeled PET for you upon check in and you are welcome to use this towel on your pet.
Reviews
Wow!
Assistant Keeper's House 4
Wow is an understatement! We had such a blast staying at the lighthouse. We enjoyed the long walks on the property as well as getting to know the lighthouse staff. Thank you so much for letting us stay! We had an amazing time and absolutely adored Mina and Tasi! We couldn’t recommend this stay enough! We will definitely be back :)
A perfect getaway!
Keeper's Room
Our room was super cozy and had a perfect view of the lighthouse and even with the ocean steps away it was still quiet enough to sleep soundly at night. The guides in the check-in packet were very helpful and the staff on site were super friendly. I couldn’t have imagined a better getaway for my Wife and I.
This lighthouse is something special
Surrounded by the forces of Mother Nature, guided by the light of Point Arena, this lighthouse is something special. You truly won’t be able to appreciate the wonder until you stay here and wander the many acres of seaside property. Having Arena Mina curl up on your lap while you gaze at the stars is an experience I’ll never forget. We were stunned by the sheer beauty of this place and we are extremely grateful it’s stewards are preserving this wonderful lighthouse. You will not regret your stay.
We loved this place.
We had a great time. We loved this place. We stayed at #4. Inside and outside was beautiful. We loved the view. We watched the sunset both nights at the gazebo area. We took a private tour. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the good time.
This location is just amazing
This location is just amazing, perfect to use as a spot to explore the region and area while also not being too far out of the way. The mornings and evenings are nice and quiet, with just the sound of the waves in the distance in the background. You also get a lighthouse tour as a part of your booking, which is fun. There's good food in Point Arena and also up the road in and around Elk. It's a good area for a quiet, disconnected vacation with beautiful sights and sounds.
Charming!
This is a very charming room that has an amazing view of the Lighthouse right from the bed! The room was clean and attractive, with lots of amenities like complimentary wine, coffee, and chocolates. Check-in was super quick and easy. The best part was the scenery. If you enjoy seascapes and hiking by beautiful cliffside waters, you won't be disappointed. We even saw some harbor seals on our hike. The only thing to point out is that the room shares a thin wall with another, so we could sometimes hear the children next door. This didn't bother us much but those who want a really quiet stay be informed. Overall, this is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. Highly recommended!
