Why guests love The Inn at Schoolhouse Creek
What They are Saying
- What an inviting place! I loved getting to our cottage and having a fire going as well as a small bottle of wine with a hand written note welcoming us. Those touches are just what I needed after a long day of driving down the coast!
- We loved our stay in Captains Watch! Especially when the fog cleared and we could see the breathtaking views of the land and sea. No wonder they named it such. A great room with large windows and glass doors gave it an almost treehouse feeling.
- Great place with friendly staff. Individual cottages, perfect for dog lovers. Our cottage had a fully fenced back yard so our dog had a place to run. Beautiful location and very laid-back. Perfect place to relax for a few days. We will be back.
