Rooms
The Wharf Master's Inn offers accommodations across four buildings: the Spectacular Lookout building with 6 newly renovated suites, the Superior Port building with ocean views, the Cypress building, and the Romantic and Peaceful building. All guest rooms include a private balcony with outdoor seating, and most have an eco-friendly fireplace and an oversized jetted tub. The Victorian Suite in the Lookout building provides panoramic ocean views, while the Wharf Master's House offers more space for larger groups.

Guests have access to a private trailhead that leads directly to the Point Arena-Stornetta coastal bluffs, a 4.5-mile hike to the Point Arena Lighthouse. The on-site wellness studio features a Cocoon Wellness Pod for relaxation. Outdoor fire pits, a courtyard with lawn games like corn hole, and a selection of DVDs and board games are available in the lobby.

The hotel's Wave Lounge serves dinner five days a week, including a charcuterie board and the owner's gumbo recipe, with beer and wine available. Live music performances take place in the courtyard on select evenings. A complimentary continental breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, and pastries is included nightly, with hot breakfast items available for purchase on weekends.
