Voted #1 Hotel in Northern California
We’re over the moon to land as the top hotel in Northern California and in the USA! Thanks to the explorers, adventurers, and our amazing guests for voting us #1 in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. Celebrate with our special fall packages and more.
An inspired Point Reyes hotel primed for discovery
Just an hour north of San Francisco on the outskirts of the Point Reyes National Seashore, Olema House (formerly The Lodge at Point Reyes) is an intimate, tranquil escape for exploring the West Marin Coast. Surrounded by national forest parkland and pristine coastal wilderness, this idyllic retreat offers an eclectic mix of urbane sophistication and Bohemian charm, making it the perfect getaway for enjoying one of Northern California’s most serene and picturesque locales.
Located just off Highway 1, Olema House is the ideal home base for your West Marin experience. From hiking, biking, kayaking and birding to simply unwinding on your private patio or lounging on the great lawn while gazing out at Olema Creek, Olema House invites you to become immersed in its beautiful natural environment and claim the Point Reyes territory as your personal backyard.
More than just a haven for adventure seekers, Olema House allows you to enjoy the West Marin countryside with a style and pace that’s uniquely your own.
Dine at Due West
Located adjacent to Olema House, Due West is a sophisticated modern tavern housed in a cozily refurbished, circa-1865 building. Due West Tavern serves fresh West Marin fare and houses a vibrant, recently remodeled market featuring house-baked items made fresh daily and signature on-the-go picnic staples. Due West is the ultimate stop-off point to fuel West Marin adventures where guests can enjoy fresh, locally sourced food and drinks in a relaxed yet refined setting, whether dine-in or on the go.
Meet and Retreat
Just an hour from San Francisco, escape and get inspired. From chic corporate retreats to sprawling garden weddings, from intimate candlelit dinners to nearby team building activities – enjoy a truly memorable event with our variety of unique on-site venues in the beautiful Point Reyes area.

One of our favorite places to send our guests @heidrunmeadery recently reopened their doors and we couldn’t be happier. Just a few minutes down the road, schedule a tasting of sparkling honey wine and learn how flowers, bees and honey all play together in the process of making and creating unique characteristics in sparkling mead. 🐝🍯
Facing the expansive 70,000 acres of @pointreyesnps with the soundtrack of a trickling creek, our backyard gardens are our guests’ favorite spot to soak up the beauty and peace of West Marin.

We’ve been catching our breath since last week’s @cntraveler announcement crowning us #1 Hotel in the US and California in this year’s Reader’s Choice Awards. The hotel is buzzing, the skies are blue and the birds are chirping away. Haven’t made your way to Point Reyes yet? Check out our sweetest suite, the Drake Suite, awaiting you and your next celebratory (or just plain cozy and relaxing) escape.
A THANK YOU NOTE 💙
There’s not much more we can say about a year like 2020 that hasn’t already been said. What it has thrown at the our industry and hospitality communities near and far has been a shock to the system. However, with most things comes a silver lining - and that is that the passion for travel and exploration feels stronger than EVER. We want to thank every single one of our guests, fans, family and friends for showing their support in this year’s 2020 @cntraveler Reader’s Choice Awards. Olema House was not only named #1 Hotel in Northern California but also #1 Hotel in the USA.
We humbly asked for your time to vote during a time when nobody thought they’d travel again soon. Now we are prouder than ever to share that our doors (and arms!) are wide open and waiting to usher in a whole new wave of travelers, adventurers and those looking for respite in one of Northern California’s most beautiful stretches of coast.

Our beloved @pointreyesnps turned 58 yesterday. It’s been a wild ride this year but we know it’s only a matter of time until the park fully reopens and welcomes visitors back with open arms (thanks to our hardworking first responders 🧡) We’ll be waiting. Until then, make your fall getaway plans with us and look forward to celebrating this beautiful, beloved stretch of coastal California.
