In order to distinguish our inn from other similarly named properties in the Cove, and to avoid any confusion for our valued guests, we are changing our name to The Spyglass Inn at Shelter Cove. Rest assured that the only thing that has changed is our name. You will find the same owners, Richard and Margaret, and the same luxurious suites and impeccable service that you have come to expect when staying with us.
The Spyglass Inn at Shelter Cove is the most luxurious destination in Shelter Cove. We offer exceptional service and our inn is the top-rated in town. All four suites in our premium oceanfront inn overlook the Pacific, and you will enjoy our amenities and accommodations, such as a fully equipped kitchen in every suite, free Wi-Fi high-speed internet, and in-room Jacuzzi tub where you can take a soak as you gaze out at the incredible ocean views.

Our beautiful oceanfront inn is located on California's Lost Coast; a rural and mostly undeveloped stretch of coastline with gorgeous and pristine beaches—just perfect for a weekend getaway. A trip to Shelter Cove is like a trip back in time; our small resort village is completely surrounded by pristine shoreline and unspoiled wilderness. Unlike other coastal communities, you won't find large hotels, strip malls, or crowded streets. What you will find is a sanctuary; and escape from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Reconnect with nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The Spyglass Inn at Shelter Cove is the perfect place to get away from it all. Join us for a romantic getaway, or start your next adventure in the nearby King Range mountains, which offer incredible hiking and day trekking.
Enjoy the peace and privacy of your ocean front suite with its own deck overlooking the ocean. Relax in your Jacuzzi with its corner windows. Watch the sunset, listen to the waves, smell the sea, order a pizza or pick up some fresh crab. Enjoy a glass of wine from one of our nearby local wineries as you sit on your deck and look out at the crashing waves. All this awaits you at The Spyglass Inn at Shelter Cove.
While you are with us, you can enjoy all of the activities and attractions that the area has to offer, such as golfing, birding, hiking, surfing, and fishing. Or you can just take the time to relax and recharge surrounded by pristine and unspoiled wilderness unlike anywhere else in the world. Our unique coastal community is distinct from any other destination in California.
