Bodega Bay

Surrounded by the Sonoma Coast, The Lodge at Bodega Bay sits on a hill overlooking Doran Regional Park with views of the Pacific Ocean and Bodega Bay. It features on-site dining at Drakes Sonoma Coast Kitchen and 2 spa treatment rooms at the pool area. The view was spectacular. Deck was over looking the estuary and bay. (Doran Beach) When we arrived there wasn’t a fridge and asked for a free standing light we could put by chairs. We dialed “zero”, as we were instructed at the front desk, and minutes later we had a delivery. Later in our stay, we dialed “zero” for more fire logs and water. Very attentive property❤️
