Our Crew



After a busy summer, we took our crew out for a thank you for your service luncheon where we announced our "star" employee for 2008, our innkeeper Jessica. They all sure worked hard all year to make our guests have a welcoming and enjoyable time in clean, working rooms.We just love to hear guests tell us good things about staff. They and we strive for quality, we appreciate all they do!

Fall on the Marshlands



Our Fall colors are upon us in Moss Landing. Our Fall colors are no ordinary occurrence like changing leaves, oh no. Instead, our vast Pickleweed marsh goes from deep green to apple red and then yellow and brown. The succulent tidal Pickleweed is quite full of salt by the end of the summer. The salt goes to excess and the chlorophyll can not take it, the chlorophyll is the green and with its loss only red pigments remain. Later in the Fall, the entire succulent flesh will fall off to rid the plant of the extra salt altogether. Rain will bring quick new green growth. All this can be viewed from our waterfront rooms. Fall is also the start of the bird migrations, guests this weekend sighted over 30 species without leaving our yard. The mild sunny days of Fall are some of our favorites.

True Love


One of the joys of our work here, we get to share in the "good times" in peoples lives like anniversaries, vacations to the beach, engagements and the like. Just that happened this weekend. A couple came to stay and they told us a story about our bed and breakfast. They told us they had just gotten married and that this stay was their spontaneous honeymoon! We congradulated them. Then they continued their story, unknown to us, he had proposed to her during their first stay with us. This explained their bubbly, romantic chit chat over breakfast. We hope to see them for their first anniversary.
