We loved staying here and took advantage of the restaurant and bar downstairs for evenings and the cheese store across street for our morning cappuccinos.

Very laid back old school no tvs in rooms food was awesome staff was great
Fabulous restaurant and very kind staff. Quaint little town and so close to Dillon Beach and Bodega Bay! A shout out to Rae and Theo for their extra care.
I loved my stay at the VF hotel. There was a mix up when i arrived, but it was quickly fixed with a short call to the owners from the gal working there in the restaurant (who was extremely friendly and helpful). I loved the convenience of self-check-in and out and having the restaurant and bar underneath, which was amazing. Valley Ford has come a long way since i was raised in the area in the 80s and it is adorable and bustling with quaint eating establishments, the robust market, and the old faithful Denuccis. I will stay here again!
Very clean, cute, accessable h20 and coffee. Great bed slept well, reading material. No tv, which was ok for
for me I like to read. Lots of stairs, everyone very helpful. Enjoyed my short stay, would stay again. I go to bodega bay several time a year
Love town of Valley Ford,

Great stay but mattress was lumpy and very uncomfortable. Otherwise clean, charming and ok for one night.
Hotel was a challenge to find, since there was no internet or GPS service on Route 1. But, room was GREAT! Very clean! Quaint “Mom&Pop” Hotel! Would definitely stay here again.

Bed was comfortable, lightbulb was out by the bed, not a biggie, and the noise from the trucks outside was Loud. Easy to find, parking was good and could definitely smell the nearby cow pastures.
We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant and then headed upstairs to our nice clean room. Our room faced the road so I was surprised how quiet it was. The bed was comfy, the room well appointed, and the amenities were great. We loved our visit to the cheese store for a scone and coffee. We tasted the cheese and ended up buying some to take home. I’m looking forward to staying there again!
No ac but the open window and fan made it very comfortable quickly. 1864 building that we found delightful but won’t be for everyone! Stairs only to the rooms, comfy bed, no tv.
This off the beaten path hotel is a must stay. The connected restaurant served up one of the best burgers I’ve ever had ! Historical building with charm. The staff was the best. FYI: everything closes early so get what you need before you get there 👍
