  • The on-site restaurant, Sierra Mar, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In-room dining is also available, and each room comes stocked with complimentary snacks and beverages, including mixed nuts, granola bars, and homemade chocolate chip cookies.

  • Complimentary activities include nature walks, yoga and meditation classes, wine tastings, and a tour of the chef's garden.

What to Consider Before Booking the Post Ranch Inn

  • There are a few activities that aren't included in the rate: namely the falconry program, which is an added $200. Having done the two-hour program myself, I will say it is an incredible, memorable experience that allows guests to admire six birds of prey up close, but it of course comes at a cost.

The hotel is for adults only, and pets aren't allowed.

Rooms have a two-person occupancy max.

Sierra Mar is open to the public for dinner.

The starting nightly rate may increase depending on the season.

There are two heated infinity pools and a larger lap pool by the gym.

Walking trails are available but beware of poison oak and wild turkeys.

The restaurant Sierra Mar is known for its ocean view, best enjoyed at sunset.
