Welcome to Motel Inverness
Motel Inverness, located in the Point Reyes National Seashore, overlooks Tomales Bay and is surrounded by wildlife preserves on all sides. Our guests can experience the tranquility and peacefulness of nature.
As our guests point out, we offer “Soulful lodging on Tomales Bay!”
Although we date back to the time when automobile travel was new and the wonders of our country were your road to adventure, we have updated to meet the needs of today’s travelers as they hit the road.
The spacious main Lodge provides the perfect place to enjoy the views, bird watch, read, relax, or have a complimentary coffee and biscotti. Anchored by a Yosemite stone fireplace and championship pool table our guests are always delighted and surprised when they first walk in and see the view!
Many of our guests say their stay here was the highlight of their trip. We know you will enjoy and appreciate the serenity and calm the natural surroundings provide. The hardest part is leaving … but we know you will be back.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
This month I stayed at this place for the third time. It is clean, comfortable, and very friendly. The large fireplace and the leather couches in the common room are inviting. I love having my morning coffee on the deck with a great view of the bay.
