West Point Inn is a rustic and welcoming local gem on Mount Tamalpais, accessible by a pleasant hike. The hike to get there can be easy or challenging, depending on the trail chosen, and is dog-friendly. It serves as a beautiful place to rest after a lovely walk, offering absolutely gorgeous panoramic views of the SF Bay Area from its big wrap-around patio. Hummingbirds are frequently seen around the vibrant colored feeders. The Inn has a very rustic feel. It is old, with very small bedrooms, and does not have heating, so guests should bring a sleeping bag or rent linen. The incredibly well-stocked community kitchen is available for preparing meals, complete with cooking accessories and some leftover spices. A snack bar is also available. The volunteer innkeepers and staff are awesome, friendly, and sweethearts, providing vast amounts of useful information. They are very familiar with the numerous trails and can make great recommendations for all types of hikes. They run good operations for events like the wonderful Mother's Day pancake feast, which is lovely despite sometimes having a long wait. The Inn is a place of fond memories and highly recommended for a great time.
We hiked and got the pancakes. Beautiful place, incredible views of the bay, super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Very fond memories of my dad and I hiking up here and staying here as a kid. Was nice to go back there 22 yrs later with my husband and see it’s still there. Can’t wait to book a room here again someday!

Hike to get there was pleasant but not strenuous for bringing parents or friends who are not avid hikers. Pancake feast on Mother's Day was lovely and staff was very friendly. Hike to the inn was also dog-friendly.
