What's nearby

  • Glass Beach is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California, that is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town. Once upon a time the sand was coated in brightly colored bits of sea glass, and social media is full of photos that make it look as if the sand still looks that way, but that isn't the case. Over the years the public has raided the beach of much of its glass. Now at first look, some might say it looks like any other ordinary beach. Yes you can still find glass here, but you have to look for it, and most of colored glass is long gone. It all makes for a fun little treasure hunt however! What I love most about the Glass Beach is its dramatic coastline that lends to extraordinary photos right on the ocean, like this one! #wheretoexplorenext #thebestisyettocome #adventure #getlost #optoutside #getoutdoors #naturelovers #nature #adventureculture #explore #exploremore #keepexploring #wildandfree #wildernessculture #travel #travelstoke #roamtheplanet #wanderlust #travellife #travelgram #letsgosomewhere #mytinyatlas #stayandwander #wandermore #adventureawaits #liveyouradventure #discoverearth #sheisnotlost #iamatraveler

The location is great, it's a few blocks away from the noise of downtown and very close to sea glass beach. The breakfast was very good and plentiful. The attention and service as excellent. We stayed in the cottage and the room itself was nice, small but big enough for two people. The bed was not very comfortable, it was almost too hard and it moves ALOT. You feel every movement your partner makes during the night. There is no A/C or fan in the room, the windows do open but there isn't much of a breeze so it can get very stuffy even at 60 degrees.

Perfect Winter Stay

The area of Ft. Brag is just generally amazing, but our winter vacay at the Glass Beach Inn made it even more so. A lovely room, nice landlords, wonderful breakfasts, and lots of time to visit the Skunk Train, Glass Beach, local breweries, and just generally lie in bed listening to the ocean, the rain, and relaxing.

Room was listed as a deluxe queen suite. But it was a converted one car garage in the back An old motor home was parked outside our door. The bathroom was very tiny and old. The room was old and depressing. The area was not in the best part of town. We did not stay. It was awful!

We will be back!

The Glass Beach Inn was an ideal bed and breakfast for a long weekend getaway. The room was a good size and the private bathroom was much better than sharing as with other b&b’s that we’ve staying in. Breakfast was VERY good and the hosts were so very friendly and accommodating. The best endorsement we can offer is to say that next time we travel to the area we will stay there again!

The owners couldn't be nicer or more accommodating -- they are gems. We've stayed twice in the rooms off the back, which are comfortable, but where the WiFi doesn't work that well. The breakfast is abundant and good and the location is very central.

Old fashioned, but very friendly hosts. The "frontage" of Fort Bragg itself is likely in a transitional phase, post the closure of the lumber facilities.

Hotel close to glass beach and interesting places

Even though the temperature was a record high for that area and at a peak tourist season for the Labor Day weekend , we had a very nice, enjoyable and relaxing time. The scenery was beautiful and you could experience a small town feeling without being rid of a metropolitan luxury.

Great Innkeepers and nice B & B

We had to arrive a little late but Nancy waited up for us. Gave us a choice of rooms and was accommodating in every way. Very comfortable and charming home. Had a wonderful full breakfast prepared by Richard. We really enjoyed getting to know them both and the town.

Lovely stay

Quaint b + b with a variety of rooms with different themes, some larger than others, but all with their own bath and clean and comfortable. Breakfasts are fantastic! Richard, Nancy and Barbara are all lovely people, and the place feels like home. Location is central to lots of beaches, museums and restaurants, and a quick drive to Mendocino.

Fun home away from home!

The owners were just great! The location couldn't be better located, we walked to everything and only drove to go on big hikes. Having a homemade breakfast was also a big plus and it was very good with fresh fruit, juices, coffee and always you could choose the main big breakfast. Our room & bathroom was a bit small but I think you could get a bigger one if requested. All in all a real nice place to stay.
