We had a very nice time at the Fort Ross lodge. We felt that the advertised description was accurate. There was indeed a partial view of the ocean which was very enjoyable. Moreover we had a private patio area where I could enjoy my cigar. There was a hot tub for us to enjoy as well. The staff, particularly Anthony was most accommodating - which we most appreciative of. There was a common patio where there was fire pit and an ocean view; absolutely delightful! (It helped that we had a very nice sunset to enjoy too). The only slight negative was that after a heavy rain, the bathroom floor was wicking up moisture (from the ground I assume; it was a bit damp, but we were given extra towels to soak up the excess moisture). Everyone was friendly and helpful.
