Summer's arrived and what a joyous time to be at Point Reyes. The hills across the marsh have finally turned that quintessential California gold we know and love.

In fact, some days, as we watch red tail hawks swoop and soar, we swear we can hear Kate Wolf still singing about those "golden, rolling hills of California" that so dominate our summer landscape.

Those longer golden days bring more time for the big hike, the great long paddle, or the book we've been trying all spring to read.

Families gather round at warm beaches in small coves and windswept beaches with that grand, Pacific swell. At the end of the day, they gather here at the Lodge and make plans for the next big day.

It's a time that just seems to invite gatherings of all sorts.

And, when you're looking for a place for an intimate gathering, you just can't beat the Motel Inverness.

So gather up the family or gather up your sweetie or just grab a good book and get on out here. Summer's calling.

And just to make your gathering that much sweeter, stay for 3 nights or more and the picnics on us!

Book any room online for 3 or more nights before September 1st - and be sure to mention the Summer Special. At check-in we'll give you a $25 Gift Certificate to the Cowgirl Creamery.

And, as always, all of our best wishes that your summer gathering is just as perfect as can be.
