3 reviews for Abalone Inn
Donna at Abalone Inn is not kidding when she says it's a Bed and Breakfast. The Bed part covers everything you'd expect at a hotel. But the BREAKFAST! wow, that is some good stuff. Morning 1: toasted english muffins, organic locally grown and made blueberry jam, cottage cheese, fresh, RIPE strawberries, cantaloupe, and blueberries, and some yummy type of fruit juice. Morning 2: same thing only substitute a toasted bagel for the muffin and cream cheese for the cottage cheese.
and, this is all made ONLY after you've gotten up and let Donna know you're ready for breakfast (just be sure to get up before 11am, because that's when the breakfast offer ends).
The place actually has 4 rooms/suites. We got the Garden Room which, in my humble opinion, is the BEST room to get if it's just you and your honey. You walk in and there's the bedroom, white wicker furniture, very rustic. You head to the left and out the door there's a sort of sun room that leads to the shower and the bathroom. There's also a door to the outside garden (hence the name), which has a gate you can shut for privacy.
This place isn't the most luxurious, the towels aren't the fluffiest, there's no bathtub, the walls aren't the most sound proof. But what it lacks in luxury it more makes up for in the rustic and homey, and romantic, atmosphere. We had a great time. Thanks Donna!

We went up for one night and a day trip. Arrived late at night. The owner, Donna had made us dinner reservations at the local (and very fine) restaurant. We came back after a delicious dinner to a starlit sky and a hot tub. Donna noticed our bottle of wine and gave us plastic glasses to carry out to the hot tub.
The place is just so charmingly decorated (lots of abalone shells as expected), quaint, hippy-ish but convenient. Donna's really thought of everything. A roaring fireplace with port in the living room was available if we had wanted it to be. Breakfast was a delicious healthy toast with jam and fruit with yogurt as well as rich coffee and juice. She had planned on bringing it up for us, but we preempted her and came down to the living room to get it.
We had the entire B&B to ourselves (only three rooms), and loved it. The attic room we stayed in was massive, with enough room to accomodate 5 ppl (two large beds) and a pull out, which is something we're keeping in mind for later. There was also a coffee table, a dining table, board games, books, and plenty of stuff to occupy us had we been bored. Also a small kitchenette one the landing of the attic room. We had our own shower bathroom, and when we woke up in the morning, a gorgeous view onto some pastures and rolling hills in the distance.
The location of this inn is also extremely convenient. We finished up the day with a drive up to Marshall to shuck oysters over a bottle of riesling right on the inlet, drove down to point reyes vineyard and then a small stop at cowgirl creamery. we also want to bring our biking enthusiast friends up here as it's the perfect place for bikers and outdoor ppl.
For a romantic vacation or for an outdoorsy trip, Abalone Inn is the bomb. seriously, go here.
Oh yeah, and prices are the best in the area (we did some research). Off season prices rock.
if you're scared of lady bugs, don't go here though, because there seemed to be a lot of them in some of the window frames. that is the only possible con.
Bottom line, really cute, convenient, very reasonably priced B&B in Tomales Bay area, near Inverness, Marshall, in Point Reyes.

donna is friendly (unless u're late) and her inn is well decorated. if u're an artistic lover and like all cultural things all over the place and love a cozy environment without much disturbance as well as a lovely Jacuzzi, then go for abalone inn, the location is convenient too. minue 1 star becoz they don't have bathing cream/soap and the room is a bit small. They got wireless access too. oh, the organic breakfast is great too
