Design and nature harmonize at Sea Ranch Lodge

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Sea Ranch Lodge is a California treasure tucked on a remote stretch of the Sonoma Coast near the Mendocino County border. Rooted in the 1960s, this updated eco-friendly resort with only 17 rooms is the ideal respite for travelers seeking serenity by the sea. Known for the Sea Ranch community’s signature design style that brings the outdoors in, it’s the ideal place to unplug.

After undergoing a multi-million-dollar renovation, Sea Ranch Lodge has been restored to a new level of natural glory. Airy rooms appointed with a simple, earthy, rustic chic aesthetic feature ocean views and offer easy access to pristine coastline.

Dogs are welcome at Sea Ranch for a $50 per night fee and a refundable $250 deposit. The only room types you can’t check into with your pup are Deluxe Lodge Rooms and Deluxe Lodge Studios. 

Onsite dining venues pay homage to the seasons and delicious local bounty using ingredients from the property’s own regenerative farm and ranch. Order takeaway from The Café and bring it to the meadow below for a picnic with your pup. The General Store also features gourmet goods and locally made products—be sure to pick up one of the souvenir Sea Ranch bandanas especially made for dogs!

Dogs are allowed on leash on six of the ranch’s trails and beaches including the Blufftop Trail, Pebble Beach and Shell Beach. The ranch offers a regular schedule of experiential programming, from yoga classes and art workshops to guided hiking tours to the farm and stargazing. Golfers can tee off at the scenic Sea Ranch Links designed by Robert Muir Graves in 1974. You can also use Sea Ranch as a base for exploring Sonoma County
