There was plenty of room for two. The back bedroom offers privacy and though we didn't use the kitchenette it's a handy option for anyone who wants to cook. The instructions for my arrival were thorough making it an easy process for checking in. Great stay!

Great stay at this Inn!

Good view over of the ocean and good location to restaurants! We had a spacious suite and our communication with the management/owner was outstanding! Owner, Lila, borrowed us hiking poles, bear spray, suggested hikes, restaurants for all meals and steered us in so many fun local ways! We would stay at the Pioneer Inn again!
