Inn at Schoolhouse Creek
Reviews
Not as described on their website. We stayed two nights in the water tower cottage to celebrate our third wedding anniversary and while it was adequate-it was not at all what we expected. Online the pics of the view from the water tower fail to show you that you're feet from the parking and walkways. Also the hot tub is private in that there are walls around you but it was definitely not romantic since there are people literally just on the other side of the hot tub wall loading and unloading their cars. Our other complaint about the hot tub area is the sheer amount of cobwebs. Spider webs do not compel me to romance so I'm sure my husband is quite displeased with their presence. Another privacy issue is the bathroom. There is no exhaust fan and no A/C (which we did know up front) but after two showers the room becomes quite steamy. We opened the bathroom window to help only to literally hear people conversations word for word. All in all it is decent but we would not recommend for privacy or romance. We enjoyed the ocean view just not feeling like we couldn't be privately intimate.
We stayed in the Sea Cloud cottage which is off site about 4 miles down hwy 1 in Albion. The cottage was perfect in every way! The view was unlike any other! I wouldn't stay anywhere else! The cottage itself is older but not in a bad way! It's kinda quirky. But we dealt with those few things very easily. If you must have a shower with a lot of water pressure your not going to find it here. It gets the job done though. The kitchen is fully stocked with every pot, pan, utensil, pretty much everything you need to make dinner or breakfast for two. The first night we went across the hwy to the flats cafe and got pizza to bring back to our room. It was awesome! We went to Silvers in Ft. Bragg for dinner it was horrible! A waste of time and money!!! We had a tandem massage at the inn itself which I'd highly recommend also! This is the perfect spot for a very romantic getaway with no cell service for miles so no one can bug ya!!!
This is not a B & B. It's a B & Voucher. My wife and I went to breakfast and there was no one to seat us so we sat down by the windows. Then a young fellow came out and told us to move to a smaller table inside. A couple did the same thing shortly after us. When they were asked to movie the owner came out and said it was ok, but they left anyway, I wish I had. The picture of the spa over looking the ocean is deseptive. I would not recommend the Schoolhouse Creek Inn.
They have a community hot tub (outdoor) and a sauna. You can get a great view of the ocean from the hot tub. How wonderful. We stayed at Whale Watch. It's a good size room with its own jacuzzi tub. The breakfast (included) includes homemade baked goods, juice, and coffee. You can also order hot American breakfast at extra charge. The staff is very friendly and can give recommendations for local restaurants, etc.
really a lovely place. friendly staff, hiking trails, hammock, mini-donkeys, hot tub, 24 hr coffee/tea/cocoa, beautiful view. can't wait to go back!
