GUALALA

"Queen's Loft was a nice surprise! I expected a small second-story loft, but it was quite large with a kitchenette, nice roomy bathroom, dining area, living area and 2 king beds (and 2 twin bed that we didn't use), and lots of windows that we opened at night to let the cool, piney-scented air in. What I loved the most was how quiet it was there. Going to sleep breathing piney-scented cool air in complete silence was wonderful....best rest I've had in a long time!"

Top Gualala Hotel Reviews

The Orchard Hotel Ukiah Mendocino County

8/10 Good

"Clean room, freindly staff. Central and easy to get in and out. Decent breakfast. Should have a better fruit choice(low quality)and better stocked teas and oatmeal varieties. Overall a good place!"

Lucky Ewe - Gualala | 3BR | Ocean Views | Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property Kitchen fully stocked (no dishwasher, we didn’t mind)Great location, happy dog, happy us!Comfy bed, nice bathrooms, kitchen, comfy living room with cable & streaming access, games & booksNice deck with a great view, one evening we saw whale spouts in the distance with binoculars that were supplied Communication was spotty & inconsistent, primarily AI but was off site management issue, not property itselfWill definitely like to go back!"

Gualala 3BR oceanfront home — panoramic views & Viking kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"This was the second time staying at this property. From booking to check out, everything was seamless. The views are incredible. The kitchen was stocked even more than our initial stay. Will definitely be back!"

Barking Rock | Pickle Ball, Sunroom + Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"My dog and I stayed for two nights in August 2026. It was an amazing trip, and the house and property are beautiful! We arrived at night and had no problem finding the property, checking in, etc. Check out was just as easy. The house had everything I needed from utensils to a coffee maker and even had a dog bed (my dog is 120lbs and fit perfect). The view is beautiful and the property is close to the town of Gualala along with a couple pet friendly beaches. Overall great experience. I highly recommend and will be coming back in the future."

Ocean Bungalow | Tesla EV Station & Near Trails!

10/10 Excellent

"Such an enjoyable stay! The layout is spacious and comfortable, and house is super well equipped with everything you need. The view is more amazing than the photos. Location near town is convenient. Can’t say enough good things… the 5 of us were in heaven and 4 of us live on the central coast. Thank you for a beautiful memory."
